there was a picture the lady

But the mention of
my status seemed
To rub off on him
for the women’s eyes dimmed
When one asked of
his wife – I did realize
They knew him well
but he laughed and said how nice
She had turned out
since the day I came back
And had conducted
herself to be on proper track.

and working to be the best;
Utilize all chances more in you to invest;
Lessen frivolities that'd steal from your nest;
Your hard work and prudence dictate your harvest.

WHAT THE NANNY GOAT TOLD HER KID (3)
Instead of any tangible thing
happening around her here in the stall, she heard again up on the palm trees as
the ravens brazenly called: ‘Mock-mock! Mock-mock! Mock-mock!’
Grace drew near the door, her kids
tailing her and peeped through a crack at the outside. All she saw was the big
plastic container receiving rainwater from the downspout and the vast concrete
courtyard between the main

WE ARE ALL CULPABLE
Before the arrival of
The Cross and Crescent,
Bards want to ram down
My throat, we all were saints.
But I'm seeing something
Across my hedge:
The lizards and chickens
Who haven't read a letter
In any of the tomes,
Filled with incredible rage
Jumping around to scratch
Their eyes out; bitter
And whipping to skin
One another.
Honestly, bards,
I'm lost in ponder.

THE ART OF LIVING
Some think life should be lived on the fast lane:
Racing cars, disco light, fast food and jet plane;
Some think living is best in the countryside:
In the flora and fauna they find their pride.
Well, you make living an art with what suits you;
A great art it is if the fallout none would rue.

IF YOU MISS GOD'S KINGDOM YOU'D CRY
If you
miss God’s kingdom you’d cry;
Try and
skip Satan’s every lie.
The true
Messiah is the Christ;
He came
and died for you and I.
Miss the
New Heaven and Earth and cry;
To every
evil learn to say goodbye.
Entry to
paradise is your right;
Miss it
and land in hellish death and fry.

‘But it was bright
under the canopy of leaves
And I could judge
its position from the slanting rays
‘Which passed
through holes in the leaves like shafts
But far and in
between were the gaps.
‘The swallow flew
in and over me did hover
And to my ears:
“Time for meal,” it did utter.
‘“Lie down and open
your mouth. I’d bring you food.”
I did as told and
what poured in was good.

Grace glanced suspiciously at the other six
goats in the pen browsing the bale of leaves swinging on a rope between them
and was glad none read her mind. She was somewhat irritated by the nuisance of
the lone billy goat in the pen, sniffing, hissing and thumping the ground with
its hoofs attempting to mate with the nanny goats. He was on a long rope which
enabled him move from one end to the

Jolly well learn to
rest and work at same time;
Unclutter (or
declutter) your life’s page and nicely punctuate it.
Never lose sight of
your goal as anything else is a crime;
Endeavour,
notwithstanding the hiccups, a great end to hit.
