This number is ‘lost‘,
This number’s lost it ‘bottle‘,
And this one’s ‘holy‘.
This number will ‘stand‘,
This number holds all the ‘jacks‘,
And this will ‘fiddle‘.
This is ‘Exeter‘,
This number’s in your ‘garden‘,
This one’s black as ‘coal‘.
The last one is ‘cock‘,
In Cockney slang for numbers,
In R J Clarke’s book.

Well 20/20,
A year for better vision,
The plan’s all ready.
A hop and a skip,
Get to it,
Come on!
Do it!
Don’t loosen your grip.
Saturday 28/12/19
My catch it up day,
Call it rest and relaxing,
This is my best day.
Failure’s not defeat,
It’s a lesson to improve.
Keep starting over.
One thing you must know,
Do not make the same mistakes.
Learn from them and grow.
Saturday 02/11/19 Weekend
Don’t fight the old stuff,
Focus all your energy,
On building the new!
The weekend is here,
It took a while, to appear,
Let’s tie it down fast.
Monday 07/10/19 Thinking
Everything can be,
Worked through,
Except how to live.
I’m working on that!
Pleasure in the job,
Puts perfection in the work.
That is very true!
All paid jobs absorb,
And degrade the mind, yes true,
It is for me too.
All inspired by the quotes of Aristotle.
Friday 10/05/19 Light the Space
The question isn’t,
“Who is going to let me?”
“Who is stopping me!”
The truth’s not for all,
But only for those that seek it.
Some paraphrasing.
Inspired by Ayn Rands
Wednesday 08/05/19 Plato
As the builders say,
Larger stones do not lie well,
Without the lesser.
Inspired by Plato
At the touch of love,
All can become a poet,
Slightly adapted.

Monday 06/05/19 Words of Wisdom
If you are depressed,
You are living in the past.
Is this where you are?
If you are anxious,
You’re living in the future.
Is this where you are?
If you are at peace,
You’re living in the present.
Words of Lao Tzu.
His words are in green, I have put mine in brown print, to make a Haiku.
