Tinsel...

2006-12-18T20:04:00.000+05:30

...makes the world go round.
It peeps from inside dingy shops,
From warm inviting evening rooms
And even bits on sweepers' brooms.

I believe when winter goes
It's disguised as common junk
As bicycle chains, as strings of flowers
Bits of rope that seem pre-shrunk.

But something happens every year
When higher powers seem at hand
The scrap then seems to disappear
And tinsel appears strand by strand

It's never about the bright red hats
Or the parties, or the gifts
But when tinsel comes to town
The general mood always uplifts.

The ta(i)l(e) of the lizard.

T2 found a lizard
She named it noni green
She watched her spring up every day
Or night, actually, I mean.

Now noni was a typecast
A typical brownish-yellow
And every time she was caught fast
She ran away without a hello.

Until the fateful day Pig came
And saw her by the door
Pounced! Meow! Grrrr
Poor noni's on the floor.

After considerable mutilation
Pig proudly carried her 'emains
To t2, and with elation
Meowed until her veins

Nearly burst ,but ah..she noticed
T2's bed was looking bare
Maybe it was time to redecorate
And deposit noni there.

She lay her down, artistically
And patted once or twice
To get the angle just...so..right
It had to be precise.

T2 returned and saw a blotch
Poor noni! It was she!
Pig! You annoying little..pig!
You silly feline banshee!

Poor pig couldnt take it
It was her art, her gift, her flair!
But she was getting chided
Hmph...that was SO unfair.

She sat down, subdued, annoyed
T2 was being a louse
There was absolutely no way
She was getting a mouse.

The point of the story being that
Killing a lizard baby
Doesnt always lead to bad luck
But pig was sorry, maybe.

err...running out of silly rhyming words!

Sigh my silly run-away cat was good entertainment...:)..oh btw that is noni's successor preening there...

' Said a sheet of snow-white paper,"Pure I was created, and pure will I remain for ever.Iwould rather be burnt and turn to white ashes than suffer darkness to touch me or the unclean to come near me."

The ink-bottle heard what the paper was saying,and it laughed in its dark heart; but it never dared to approach her.

And the multi-coloured pencils heard her also,and they too never came near her.

And the snow-white paper did remain pure and chaste forever, pure and chaste - and empty. '

This looked so much like Cat - my most recent 'street' cat who died around july - she fell off the terrace.

I'm a sucker for cats!Although technically, it wasnt even my idea to adopt the first one..or the second...or the third..
But one small kitten can change going back to the house to 'returning home'.

No points to anyone who can guess what the pic is titled.

I can well imagine an atheist's last words:"White,white! L-L-Love! My God!"--and the deathbed leap of faith. Whereas the agnostic,if he stays true to his reasonable self, if he stays beholden to dry, yeastless factuality, might try to explain the warm light bathing him by saying, "Possibly a f-f-failing oxygenation of the b-b-brain," and, to the very end, lack imagination and miss the better story.

9.Get independent.In a variety of aspects.
10.Do some actual social work.

And these, in random order of importance are my ten resolutions.From the heart.Wow, they're a mouthful!

I dont know what led to them,though...I never make resolutions.But these are reasonably easy to adhere to.And I'm sick of the superificiality attached to everything.These are the things I want.And these are the things I'm going to get.
I'm determined as hell to not give in to the fakeness of it all.
