Whilst You Are Here

(AUTARKY)

Word of the day: Oxford Dictionaries

27th February 2014

Playing games
like monopoly

Placing hotels
on hot property

Somehow suits me
economically

In development
of autarky

Take a longer view 

financially

Bear in mind
a strong democracy

Put your bunce about
methodically

Then sit there smugly
independently

Unwinnie of Conundria

A Moanster Obfuscator

Drivel wafflewind Conspoonion

Gushing eloquencia

A commonsensical alludesian

A plainted sympatheticum

Overheated verbafusion

Using airyinsinsairyness

A coverlette of bolloqusion

As a native streetly speakit

A well-known teyeduprhymie

Canshute the powdery gobbleoff
Such a poppycockney limy

Stanley Unwin made me laugh and in doing so made me think about the beauty of our english language. To be able to bend words one way or the other and still be understood underlines the inner quality within.

The Original Copy

The human mind imagines

In reveries and dreams

Ponders every possibility

In pursuit of perfect schemes

Amazed by such capacity

Yet intrigued by inner voice

Who in there is guiding me?

Teasing out my form of choice

At times we feel ‘it can’t be me’

Am I truly that profound?

Maybe give thanks to greater good

Keep my feet on humble ground

Lesser pride resides in quietude

Where great thinkers find reflection

Exacting tests removing doubt

Not wasting time on genuflection

When embarking thoughtful travel

You find a milestone aphorism

Do not drown in depths of origins

Accept your subtle plagiarism

A Bitter Pill for Bungling Bill

Seeking helpful money

A raider nabbed some cash

Twenty thousand dollars

His method somewhat rash

Lacking any preparation

To secure his newfound stash

In full view of hidden cameras

A par-baked plan reduced to mash

Simplicity the byword

Use of flair, stylized panache

A grand designer carry bag

To assist one’s exit dash

The weather is worth noting
Icy getaways prone to crash

If the slippery slope you’re sliding on

Turns to a sidewalk dancing bash

Although the pillock of this story

Found his dream a Wall Street crash

Now fortified and tightly tied

He wears a solid bracelet sash

Charge of the Light Cascade

Kepler's New Universe

LINK to the Milky Way

Universe Today

Miles away from everywhere

Attractively sublime

In a Galaxy collectively

Solar powered cosmic time

Looking at it either way

The field of view is vast

In a bubble inescapable

Where the future just went past

Such abundance we may count upon

Too much space for calculation

Still no sign benign or otherwise

More than a Stone Age contemplation

Spring Is In The Air

Picture Link

Crazy Maisie Queen of March

A host of cuckoo songs to bring

Primarily a step to take

To flip the early axis swing

Flighty days of hopeful numbers

Upon a crashing ocean roar

Sending messages unmerciful

Wicked flags of waging war

A chiming bell of new beginnings

Her footsteps soled with iron studs

Convinced her might is proof of right

Replacing twigs with diamond buds

Trails of thunder leave no stone unturned

Sheltered havens have no place

No tears she sheds for last year’s strain

Rejecting hope of saving face

Should Old Acquaintance Be Forgot

Thinking of Scotland the Brave

Pouring cold porridge on honey

To make it alone without credit

By inventing a new kind of money

Thistles cry wolf around Stirling

Lands End is now John o’ Groats

Bulging with grain in the silo

Hot trading with currency Oats

When it comes to cereal thrillers

They’ll run to the bank for a Dram

Aberdeen Angus is blowing his horn

Trading Big-Mac’s full of pony old ham

Plenty More Love In The Kitty

Like candles on a birthday cake
Icing light, for you I shine
Enjoying special days in February
I stand beside you valentine
Sharing long road walks together
Stormy weather, bright sunshine
Fields of daffodils in springtime
My sweet four seasons valentine
Quiet times we spend reflective
Simple treasures we combine
Never lost when we're together
My rising sunshine valentine

We'll Take The High Road

See You! Stand and Deliver!

Little Jockey Macintosh

Isn’t bothered by the reign

A hankering to stand-alone

Too much royalty is plain

Rich in gas and Texas tea

Now resplendent to the hilt

Time to sack the Sassenach

Parade the continental kilt

The British they can do one

The Scottish bank is sound

Their Piper’s play a merry tune

With United Kingdom’s pound

Bollocks to the lowland louts

We have the whiskey oil and gas

Och aye we are well catered for

Independently en-masse

A Gerontology Cytology

Oxford Dictionaries Word of the Day 8th February 2014

The march of time relentless 

Each day that passes we deny

Ticking clocks and second hands

Released as hours go flying by

Coloured memory counting moments

Fleeting passions ember grey

Now overlook the risks you took

On greener grass in early May

When your seasons many travelled

Become a  feathered bed laid low

Accept your dying isn't pointless

When all the living things let go

The Next Step

Every step along the way

Each slope of up and down

Good days bad days take a turn

A smiling falsely circus clown

Cities full of plunderers

Practice daily hone their cunning

Selling programmes to a non event

Where top guns do the running

Traders hide their takings

A show of coffers in disguise

Play a part in contribution 

Putting pennies on your eyes

Blinkered by the weight of cash

Heavy medals proudly scream

Today we made it out of there

In search of ways to live the dream

Quote from The Technological Citizen 

“Despite the wonderful future potential of medicine, real human longevity will only be attained when we move away from our biological bodies entirely. As we move toward a software-based existence, we will gain the means of “backing ourselves up” (storing the key patterns underlying our knowledge, skills, and personality in a digital setting) thereby enabling a virtual immortality. Thanks to nanotechnology, we will have bodies that we can not just modify but change into new forms at will. We will be able to quickly change our bodies in full-immersion virtual-reality environments incorporating all of the senses during the 2020s and in real reality in the 2040s.”

Elusively

Where are the lyrics

Of best suited songs

Matching tunes to emotions

To make great sing alongs

A sound method maybe

A caravan of mules

Or much more beyond

In a book of new rules

In the drifting of change

Sometimes luck is progression

But mostly more gradual

Like the links in succession

Hemispherical Thinking

From where I sit in my cabin

Wishing my way towards spring

Counting the last days of winter

Seeking promises that daylight may bring

In the meantime, I just blame the weather

Outgoings not going my way

Too many February moments

Draining most of  the light from my day

I hear tell it’s the last month of winter

Yet I still feel the pain of deep claws

Knowing the tenuous nature of March

Will keep me wrapped up when unlocking doors

To A Brown Eyed Handsome Man

Stars appear and shadows are a falling
You can hear my heart a-calling

BUDDY HOLLY (Charles Hardin Holley)

September 7th 1936 - 3rd February 1959 (Aged 22)

Crying, Waiting, Hoping - You'll come back 

He never did but he paved the way for the greatest bands and music ever.

Its Oh So Easy it's a True Love Way

Maybe baby we'll remember Every Day

Rave on and tell me Not Fade Away

Sing in a heartbeat to That'll Be the Day

It's Raining In my Heart so Listen to me

It doesn't matter any more in the cold ice free

Think it Over baby in a Valley of Tears
All those words of love Slipping Sliding to me
