Much Ado About Something

I don’t know about you guys, but I get my inspiration in the weirdest places. The problem is, if I do let on, you are gonna think that I am off my rocker (like you did know that already). Here are some silly musings/jokes that may bring on a smile and get you past that bored, irritated, depressed or weird situation. Giggle if you want, or just move on – it is your call entirely! The shower and the faucet were arguing. The shower bragged, “I please my owner with the excessive water I provide.” The faucet replied “What makes you think that when I am used more often!” They went on and on and on, until they decided to make a pitch for who gave out more pressure. They waited for the owner to turn on the two together and when she did, they tried to ‘prove’ themselves. The owner looks in dismay sighing, “Darn - there is an air block”! Here is another one… What did the parents forbid the kids to do? “Don’t you go out today,” they said in unison. “But, why? What did we do?” they r...

So, you want to get rid of that belly and no matter what you try, nothing works! Join the club, because most of us who have the inclination to get rid of that paunch invariably end up piling on more flab that we ever imagined. I certainly enjoy the occasional (ahem) nibble or two in between meals. And from what I have heard along the way is that three meals a day are not the norm anymore. Dieticians have counseled me to give into the urge and snack away at the good stuff and not the heavy-duty stuff that builds flab. The problem is that while I do listen to their pearls of wisdom, I end up piling on the pounds nevertheless. Eventually this catches up and I up the ante with incessant dieting, constant exercise and a never say never attitude. What happens along the way is that I get disenchanted because the damn flab just refuses to budge in spite of all the hard work. Sounds familiar? Bottom line – the flabby paunch just grows to mammoth proportions making it impossible to slip into t...

I am in pain There is unhappiness everywhere Bitterness plagues my very being I am in pain I made a mistake I made more … I cannot rectify them Nothing will bring back the joy I am in pain I try to change I aim to be a better person I put God first I am slowly changing The pain remains I reflect on the good Unfortunately, the bad resonates I see no solution I am lost I am in pain I have lost the very essence of my existence Why was I born?

How lovely is this sketch by my niece!

I feel myself drifting away I have no out I wonder what life is all about Why am I here? My sins are too many to bear I look at God on the cross and wonder how He kept going When everyone around hurled abused at Him Why should I crib? But… My life is nothing short of settling I keep on at this Settle because someone expects it of me I settle because without settling I dismay the persons who are hurt the most I settle because that is what I do Is there a solution to this settling, I wonder? I look at Jesus on the cross and realize He never settled He bore my sins, He still does He asks me to accept my situation I try I fail I try and fail again I am a mere mortal I am me But … The problems are accumulating There does not seem to be any solution What should I do? Perhaps…. I have to settle Because that is what I do I settle There is strife everywhere People unhappy There is no joy There is a constant burden There is no laughter There is dismay T...

The power was erratic last week and life was getting darker by the minute. Jibber jabber was a constant, along with some of these PJ’s (aka poor jokes) I randomly coined. The family giggled a bit initially until they ordered me to shut the xxxx up. Licking my ‘wounds’ I sat quietly in the corner - I really felt for Jack at that moment! :-) Here are a couple of silly PJ’s that I hope will put a smile on your faces, my darlings.. Q. What did vertigo say to blood pressure? A. They sure have you riled - I like the spin. Q. What do you do if someone bitches about you? A. Let them be coz their barks are worse than the bite. Q.

Love is a four-letter word they say Without it life can go astray Melts the shackles and burdens of life It even brings with it for a man a better wife! Expectations can bring you down when life strikes a bad deal Look at the big picture and accept some curses of the wheel Do not let worries get you down God always has a place to be free and out of the ground. When things get going to a better place You are in a better phase Remember no matter what the drill Forget the mean voices they drive themselves shrill. Sex may be the way out of the doldrums Without a blink you can be in the maudlin dungeon What do you do when this strikes you in the face? Do you think of another obscure place? Nope Fight it out embrace the prize The reactive force of a highly charged sex drive Nothing says happy ever after than the love and kisses of a child Unconditional happiness personified Life without that four-letter word called love Is nothing but anger and pangs of distrust...
