the(e) Plea

Dear Pharmacy Division
kindly please
Consider my application

Long have I awaited
your decision
with great Frustration

I need an answer
for I fear
the deadline is near

Sigh...Why?
is there such difficulty
for a master's degree...

Scrubbed Silly

What's just 'round the corner?
Of course it's Chinese New Year!
And what is there to do?
Shopping, and SPRING CLEANING,
just to name a few!

Dirty work had to be done,
so that was priority number one...
In the wee hours of dawn,
still stiffling a yawn everyone got out of bed,
all ready for the day ahead

On and on we persevered
till every corner was conquered,
cobwebs were dusted
grease and grime were busted,
Gone were loads of rubbish
floor was given new coat of polish

Rest was never in the plan
till everything was spick and span,
Never was there any complaints
of muscle aches and pains

A day's of hard work
eventually came to an end
much to the delight
of the entire clan

I can't say that
everywhere was sparkling clean
But to those involved in combat
definitely that was what it seemed!

Tough as the effort may have been
but the reward
was what none could easily redeem!

Dear all, here's a little greeting...
happy cleaning and enjoy celebrating!

Weasel Woes

From Hanoi
I was given a gift,
A parcel which I'd never expect to receive...
'What is it?' aloud I wondered
'Open it' I was instructed

'It's coffee!'
Obviously, but of FINE quality!'
'Tell me the reason why?'
'Later, after you have a try!'

And so did I, with a sigh...

'Ever heard of the weasel;
- the crafty creature?'
'Yes, always;
- in kiddie literature'

'He goes from tree to tree,
selecting coffee beans of best quality,
but as smart as he can be,
never chews the seeds ever does he...'

'You and I both know,
the fate of any seed; if swallowed whole,
Physiology of the GI tract, dictates that...
What's not digested, comes out from the back!'

What I've ingested has been revealed,
And no, there wasn't a need for Lomotil!'

To my coffee-mate
I thank you once again
For the gift, and experience I've gained!

Loo Laws...

When in the loo
with nothing better to do
besides focusing on pee and poo
do remember, the LAWS OF THE LOO...

Here's how it goes
this useful bit of prose...

When you sit upon THE seat
complete your business then retreat

If you find that you must read
please do so with utmost speed

Even when you're in a rush
remember it's always nice to flush

Each urgent knock on the door
means HURRY UP! with your simple chore

Yes, you've got a lot to do
but remember, everyone does too!

Hear! Hear!

Have you ever listened
to the
chatter of birds on a bright fine day
sounds of a waterfall gushing away
buzzing of bees in the month of May
rustle of leaves when breezes sway
or what someone truly has to say...

Words delicately chosen
Masked facial expression
Often are not
One's true reflection

So
Give someone that extra attention
And sincerely listen
You will find
that each conversation
exists for a certain reason

Bedtime Blues

Time's running

very late

But caffeine's keeping

me awake

Eyes blurring

Concentration's wanning

Mind's wandering

and just thinking.......

Of chipmunks and princesses

Of toaster waffles and true love's kisses
