StiMulating Conversation

Stimulating conversation is the bait

Lure the curious monkey to his zoo like fate

curious_george

Come stimulate the conversation for a while

Amuse us O Exotic one, with your pungent style.

We are all egalitarian, at least we have to pretend

This is the American south dont you comprehend.

Stay quiet and keep shut, do you job , move your nut

Ajays friend

Our patience is as deep the color in our skin,

Go ahead and slave for us, lest we begin

There are trees in Tennessee , tall enough to hang you

Curiosity killed the cat- it will noose the monkey too.

My Stupid Poetry

Every week I write a poem,

Thinking how cool I could be.

A 21 st Century Lord Byron,

Writing poetry could do the trick for me.

Party Invitations and Fame Galore,

Lord Byron used to have this and all more.

But poetry died, and Byron died much earlier in disgrace.

His aristocratic funeral attended by an empty caravan.

Harry Potter may have rejuvenated the novel,

Bringing back poetry is too much for One man.

So turn your head, and swipe your card.

Modern age civilization aint no place for ahh bard.

Let you drink and have soda water,

Pre Packed Hangover remedies the morning after.

Caught up in a material world.

Dead artists are worth their weight in gold.

Stupid poetry, are all ahh I can offer you for today.

Goodbye Teddy

A bear of a man, with an appetite of a whale
The lion of the senate, succeeds while all fail.

Slowly succeeding steadily, with his head and heart
The youngest knight of camelot, went out the last

No child left behind, and no sick person too,
Goodbye Teddy- We the still uninsured will miss you

Decisionstats| Miscellaneous Part 5

If you think that adding a seperate category for poetry and humourous articles is too much, well it seems the most popular articles came from this section., The poemon Michael Jackson continues to be all time 1, in terms of number of page views (I had hoped one of the interviews would be number 1), and the breakthrough article on Not using R is even quoted in Australia in a university course on data mining. lol!

Poem: The Fine Print

did you read the fine print
when you signed your life away
or did you believe them badly
when they said your life was good to give today

did all the drums, the ribbons and the music
tilt your head to emotion away from fact
and did the inherent absurdity of it all
was swallowed by you intact

for as the world spins tilted
around the bright unforgiving sun
words in a language built to deceive
mask the coming pain below the frosting of fun

deception is the game here
and an unwilling player you have to be
fool them or be fooled in turn
reality is spotless for you to see

what old promises where tokens of love
it is all cash and carry now
as willed in your destiny from above

and even though eyes grow misty
by potential of what could be
you keep one eye on the rolling ball
lest more surprises it brings to see

Tennessee Rain

Clear rain falls with a straight steady hum

On green Tennessee woods like a muted drum

The skies as if painted by a great gray brush

All around silence as in heavenly hush

Long ago long miles ahead

I left my home to earn my bread

Dusty lanes domestic remind with a nostalgic pang

Creating almost a deep throat tasteful tang

Tennessee rain so beautiful and forlorn

So exciting and yet reminds me I’m alone
