When you were five, what did you want to be when you grew up?

When I was Five I don’t think I had any concept of what being “grown up ” would be like I was probably overthinking the challenges and difficulties of being five.

I can only remember everything being quite difficult.There was a lot I couldn’t do myself and needed help with. I suppose I looked at all these busy people (my parents and brothers and sisters) and on the whole they were there for me.My world was difficult enough as it was without the  ambition to be them.

If I ran and fell over it hurt, I was frightened of going into the hall which had no light.I didn’t like going to the toilet myself,but then again I didn’t want to go with anyone else. I fiddled with food,I don’t know why, I had to go to the doctor because they thought I had TB.I hated going anywhere where people poked and prodded me and made me undress.I did want to go to school as everyone  else seemed to do that.

So there you go,that was the way it was for me.

Namaste,Thank You for Reading.

What’s something most people don’t understand?

To not be sure is a natural state,

Who are we to predict fate

The unknowing blagger is a fool indeed

For trust is something we all need

Particularly the young starting out

Their knowing is forming but there is  doubt

So many ways to comprehend a thing

To get it wrong is a painful sting.

Right or wrong is never fair

We need to try  and be brave to dare

A process we must all go through

It’s part of us ,it’s what we do.

How has technology changed your job?

Microsoft wants to  Co-Pilot  my life,

Reduce my effort,combat strife

Guide me through all the little things I do,

Make sure I’m present,make sure who’s who,

It’s included in my subscription for now you see

It’s an AI gift ,but how long for free?

The more I let it do it’s thing

The less originality it will bring

One day it will tell me ,you have no money left,

And leave me in the lurch,totally bereft.

For truth be known I’m totally alone

Bill Gates just wants my assets to own.

Namaste,thank you for reading.

How often do you say “no” to things that would interfere with your goals?

Say no to selfishness,

The time we invest in ourselves

Being a nine to five and a five to nine,

Never stopping to ask if someone is fine

To spend our precious time creating,

The whiners and losers berating,

They have no  place in our busy world

While we must bear our heavy sword

To ensure we  have the last word.

What’s a secret skill or ability you have or wish you had?

I wish I could secretly snore

My walrus grunts are such a bore

To lie on my back and sleep

A good night’s solid rest to reap

Instead of being woken up

“Turn over on your side” said so abrupt

I wake and cannot bear

The lonely walk down the stair

For once my dreams are broken

Sleep is a forlorn token,

I must read or sew or knit

Until my eyes say quit

Sleep downstairs now! As your walrus roar

Cannot be heard anymore.

Oh how I really do wish for

The benefit of the silent snore.

What is your favorite type of weather?

A frosty morning

The sunshine dawning

Crispy Blueness with enhanced vision

Cold cutting an exact  incision

The trees they feel it

Their green veins white lit

A hand turning blue

Breath forming a misty hue

The crunch underfoot

From a trusty boot

And home to bed

The chickens fed.

Who was your most influential teacher? Why?

One of our own WordPressers.

Prof Philo, always worth a read…..

Namaste.

What do you wish you could do more every day?

I wish I could be good

And do everything I should

Not get tired or grumpy or bored

Give everyone a kind word

To smile and work on being a bard

Make my life a little less hard

To keep looking for that perfect rhyme

Would be nothing short of divine

What tattoo do you want and where would you put it?

I would like a little Bee,

Perhaps no one could see

It would be a bee

Just for me

What is one word that describes you?

We are all beautiful given a chance.
