OLD AGE
I look at my hair it's parting like the red sea,the mirror in the morning is playing tricks on me ,
My legs have varicose veins on my legs looking like railway tracks,
When I move I creak and groan I need oiling ,
My memory is like a goldfish put on repeat,
The Doctor gives me more pills I am convinced that I rattle when I walk,
People say poor old soul,I only coming up to sixty you know,
I not quite dead yet but I overwhelming get bothered by those infernal life assurance aids,
I have no desire to go to the great beyond yet,
If I do just a simple funeral for me,no wake just get some fish and chips,.
It's time to finish this ode with a quote from a friend, yes old age is shit.

Midsummer Dream
I’m going to come straight out and just say it. I’m proud of these!
What’s not to love about beautiful images with a chunk of story to get your creative juices flowing?
It’s that time of year again.
When the faery folk come to dance upon the earth.
So light the way for them beneath the ancient tree.
Dance with the Devil, you handsome darling. If you please me, all your dreams will come true.”
“Are you saying you’re the Devil?”
The sensuous woman smiled and shrugged.
“I never thought of the Devil as a woman. So what dance?”
“Tango. Of course.”
If you remain still, you might get a glimpse of them.
Be careful though.
If they suspect a trap, they will grab you and imprison your soul in the tree for 1000 years
“You can’t be serious!”
“I am. Lie upon the yellow lines and the genie will come to grant you three wishes.”
“I thought genies lived in bottles and oil lamps.”
“Times have changed. Genies are now captive beneath the cement of roads and sidewalks.”
“What if a car runs over me?”
“That’s how the portal opens.”
“You must think I’m an idiot.”
“No. That’s the chance you gotta take. How badly do you want this?“
Isabelle knew she was disappearing into the world of words, but she didn’t care.
Carlos begged her to stay, but she shook her head.
“I’d rather cease to exist physically if I get to enjoy all the pleasures of fantasy, of the erotic and romance.”
“What do you want, Isabelle, from the ethers of imagination? You will cease to be.”
”I know, darling Carlos. But ordinary life is mundane. I can’t bear the mundane.”
Bernado’s heart pounded. This was the portal. it had to be.
But how could he get past that brick wall?
If he didn’t, Celeste was lost forever and their parents would perish from heartbreak.
Fern yearned for the glory of humans. As psychic beings, plants healed, soothed, gave solace, and offered insight.
But there was no power. Plants were at the mercy of humans and animals.
Until the day a sad looking woman came into the forest undergrowth and lay down on top of Fern.
Fern felt her sorrow, and knew its time had come. This woman no longer wanted to be human.
“How about if we trade places?” Fern whispered. “You become me and I become you.”
The woman looked right at Fern.
“Is that possible?”
She was emerging. She could feel herself coming back to flesh, blood, and bone.
After so many centuries held captive in the trees, she would be free at last.
“Why now?” she asked. “Why let me go now when the world is so changed?”
“Because we need you to convince humanity to protect us.”
Ophelia threw herself into the water, but instead of the death she sought in her despair, she found conviction.
She deserved life. Only revenge would do for her father’s death.
Hamlet would suffer.

The Pit of Success: How Leaders Adapt, Succeed, and Repeat
by Dave Jennings
When people understand The Pit of Success their burdens are lifted and their ability to learn and succeed is increased.
Leaders must routinely face challenges that are beyond their experience. In this space, they feel lost, confused, and overwhelmed. These doubts are shared by leaders across the globe but it is not “leader-like” to discuss such issues. Yet, leaders are not in their job because they have all the answers. They are on the job to find answers. By learning to navigate The Pit of Success leaders gain confidence, find answers, and deliver results faster and with less anxiety.
The Pit of Success provides leaders with the mindset and skillset to do things they do not know how to do. It gives them principles for managing progressively difficult challenges throughout their career. It also gives them peace of mind that they are not the only ones experiencing these doubts. No longer do leaders need to wonder if they are good enough to face the challenges in front of them. What they need to do is learnable and The Pit of Success shows them how they are fully capable to succeed in their demanding situation. The concept of The Pit of Success has already changed people’s lives around the globe.

Charles FrodeDreaming of Fish & Other Apocalyptic Stories Of Foreboding and Grace
Description
Charles Frode's 3rd short story collection, concentrated, bitter and benignly pessimistic squeezings from the season's harvest, the ripest leftover fruit gleaned after the sweetest fruit has been picked, mystical gumbos of differently stirred dimensions of experience. Several stories written by the "You" narrator, could be you, the reader, or Frode, the author. Three apocalyptic stories of how the earth could end by the distortions of ancient trees, by the accumulations of cultures, and by the aberration of algorithms. A handful of stories about an invasion of sanctified cockroaches, an uncannily skilled boy, a mystical story of ALS, a stereotypical young mass murderer, a hunchback a hermaphrodite and a mysterious Greek monastery, a walleyed degenerate and his omnivorous goats, and the transmigration of a matriarchal boar's spirit.

R.i.p Charlie Watts
Charles Robert Watts (2 June 1941 – 24 August 2021) was an English drummer who achieved international fame as the drummer for the Rolling Stones. He was one of the band's longest serving members, joining in January 1963 and remaining a member until his death in 2021.

Originally trained as a graphic artist, he started playing drums in London's rhythm and blues clubs, where he met Brian Jones, Mick Jagger, and Keith Richards. In January 1963, he joined their fledgling group, the Rolling Stones, as drummer, while doubling as designer of their record sleeves and tour stages. Watts, along with Jagger and Richards, are the only band members to have been featured on all of their studio albums. He cited jazz as a major influence on his drumming style. He toured with his own group, the Charlie Watts Quintet, and appeared in London at Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club with the Charlie Watts Tentet.
In 2006, Watts was elected into the Modern Drummer Hall of Fame; in the same year, Vanity Fair elected him into the International Best Dressed List Hall of Fame. In the estimation of music critic Robert Christgau, Watts was "rock's greatest drummer". In 2016, he was ranked 12th on Rolling Stone's "100 Greatest Drummers of All Time" list.[1]
The Journey Poet Unknown
The Journey
Poet UnknownYou got to have some trouble In this rough old world of ours,
You got to fight the bumblebee, sometimes to pick the flowers;
Your going find fin' a heap of roughness in the rocky road,
Before you get what you can rest and lay aside the load.
But be humble, and don't grumble,
Because you sometimes slip and stumble,
And seems to drop behind the rest of all the hustlin' throng.
Don't stop an' start a-whining
And a-whimpering and a pinning,
But pick your feet up, honey, and go traveling along.
You may have fears of troubles that will hit you hard someday,
But they're bound to catch you if you halt along the way.
You got to keep a moving. Some are fast and some are slow.
But all that's looked for from you is to do the best you know.
So don't you wait and worry,
If you fall down in your hurry,
And never mind the chaffing
And the hollering and the laughing,
Just pull yourself together as you hum a little song,
But pick your feet up, honey, and go travelling along.
