Mirror, Mirror on the Wall-
Whos the Prettiest Wiki of them All
(click on the image you like)
The lowering of hope with the passing of time
Led to the ineffectual habit of writing rhyme
And once hooked I quickly became stuck
Even poetically I ran out of luck
I wriggled I squiggled I thought really hard
But I hate to admit I am no bard
I guess I have what they call the writer’s block
Where you sit and stare at the passing of the clock
Hoping you catch the muse again by its tail
Ride the surf some more and do not fail
This poem is getting bad I must be getting on your nerve
I am going off on a tangent on the poetic curve
Well I guess I must then stop I am out of words
And throw this limerick out for the birds
Again I apologize for wasting your time
Poets after all are a dozen per dime
But if in spite of that if I gave you some relief
From the daily mundanity and its accompanying grief
Don’t thank me then just thank the muse
I just play with words having nothing to lose.

Friday Toons- As promised
On Demand entertainment I need to hear
On Demand information of webcasts, white papers dear
On demand downloads of information I am told I really need
Sometimes it is tough to keep which is shallow what is deep
Is it really on demand or were you overwhelmed and manipulated by the supply
On Demand Supply and estimates of forecasts of influencer of the demand
Friendship is also on demand
But Loneliness is Free and Open Source
And so is Freedom
How many Fans, Followers, Likes can you get
Before your critical mass makes you Viral
Like a Video Bieber whose clothes are torn by crowds
Searching for your 900 seconds of On Demand fame
You want to be paid on demand but work only on a creative fancy
Your on demand laziness is too demanding now
Ceteras Paribus, On demand is too much to demand
and much too on always on 24 7
Give me a book a friend and some peace and quiet
Bet you things arent there on supply but always on demand
Or are they?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eid_al-Adha
Eid al-Adha (Arabic: عيد الأضحى ‘Īdu l-’Aḍḥā) or “Festival of Sacrifice” or
“Greater Eid” is an important religious holiday celebrated by Muslims
worldwide to commemorate the willingness of Abraham (Ibrahim) to
sacrifice his son Ishmael (Isma’il) as an act of obedience to God, before
God intervened to provide him with a ram (uncastrated male sheep) to
sacrifice instead.[1]
The meat is divided into three parts to be distributed to others. The family retains one third of the share, another third is given to relatives, friends and neighbors, and the other third is given to the poor & needy.
Eid al-Adha is the latter of two Eid festivals celebrated by Muslims, whose basis comes from Sura 2 (Al-Baqara) Ayah 196 in the Qur’an.
The incident with Abraham and God is also mentioned in Old Testament
1431 (Islamic Calendar): November 16, 2010.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binding_of_Isaac
The Binding of Isaac, in Genesis 22:1-24 is a story from the Hebrew Bible in which God asks Abraham to sacrifice his son, Isaac, on Mount Moriah.
The narration is referred to as the Akedah (עקדה) or Akedat Yitzchak (עקידת יצחק) in Hebrew and as the Dhabih (ذبيح) in Arabic. The sacrifice itself is called an Olah in Hebrew — for the significance of sacrifices, especially in Biblical times, see korban.
Thanksgiving
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thanksgiving#cite_note-Encyclop.C3.A6dia_Britannica-0
Thanksgiving Day is a harvest festival celebrated primarily in the United States and Canada.
Thanksgiving was a holiday to express thankfulness, gratitude, and appreciation to God, family and friends for which all have been blessed of material possessions and relationships.
Traditionally, it has been a time to give thanks for a bountiful harvest. This holiday has since moved away from its religious roots.
