The Cows were OUT for sure

I always tell you something about cows on the loose. My daughter has even dreamed about a cow biting her arm.


Today I have breaking news for my readers. The usual group of cows visited my yard on Saturday but they met a surprise – no grass. We cut all the grass and I guess this got the ‘born here’ cows upset. One of them rudely bit the top off of my pigeon pea tree. However, this was not the end of the ordeal.

I thought about logging onto the internet to post a new blog entry and to my surprise, I had no service. I checked the phone line and there was no dial tone. I headed to the roof only to find that the telephone wire was broken.

I wondered what malicious person could have destroyed my telephone line. Did I owe someone? Could it be that there is money in telephone wire now? Then I remembered that I saw several hoof prints in the yard. This could mean only one thing – the cows must have been out! The cows were out!

I must have angered them by cutting all the glorious grass so they got mad and took what they thought meant the most to me – my internet.

I laugh at the cows because they are so silly. It is raining so much now and the grass will grow back up fast and juicier. I think the cows are still mad at me for moving into their space and destroying one of their main food sources. I guess I had no right to build a house where they eat and rest.

The cows are smart and they will do what they have to do and that’s eat, sleep and poop on the way. I am thankful for the manure and the grazing. However, I wish they would leave my pigeon peas alone. I mean, really – why the pigeon peas tree?!

Watch out cause the cows might be out in your area too!

POEM: Watch Out

While I've never been entangled in conspiracy
I have always been a sucker for humanity
as I bring my words and sharpen my sword
I think about the good and evil that has occurred
and give a hand to help the needy
and disregard those that even today remain greedy
you know them, they are money hungry misers
always planning a scheme and plotting to divide us
but I've got a plan to ignore and repel them
cause their kind carries a light that's dim
I ain't got no time to waste with such schemers
I'm a powerful force and a positive dreamer
so confusion, you stay far from me
watch me pass and let me be
cause with me - my love is the key
and for sure, I am more than the being you see

Me & De TV

I am such a couch potato. I have my TV viewing set by days. Monday is Law & Order SVU, Tuesday is The Game and Let's Stay Together on BET and Wednesday is Restaurant Impossible. Thursday is sometimes Law & Order Criminal Intent and Friday is Monk. Saturday is Suze Orman! My cable service, a monopoly is not the greatest but at least I can see interesting programs like American Greed and Chopped.

I wish I could work fulltime on the set of a show like American Greed or Snapped (my Sunday pasttime) where I can help with the research, do interviews and make sparkling commentary. Maybe I can host a Caribbean Snapped but we'll call it Chopped. The cooking competition could be called Who Ga De Best.

These are just my fun thoughts - the thought of a couch potato.

The Crown

Every girl wants to wear a crown. However when Jesus wore his crown, he was beaten and then crucified. No girl or boy would want to replicate those momemnts when Jesus was beaten and then eventually killed. It was a sad day but things turned around just a few days later. He was risen from the dead and this shows how MIGHTY our GOD is. He is omnipotent and really has our back. Bless his mighty name!

POEM: Love Nature

be wise
and
open your eyes
to the world around you
because sometimes
the sky is blue
but other days it's
purple or grey too
sometimes the grass
is green
and other days
it's unseen
like a woodslave
behind a picture
he lives a life
that's often so richer
because he knows
his place
and keeps his life
in pace
and that's what we won't do
cause we always
look screwed
so oblivious to nature
and the wonders
beyond the sea shore
that we just are stuck
and feel we are
out of luck
when we have
so many blessings
so rather than
look like Scrooge
do something new
and enjoy the life you have
cause it's short
be like the animals
and stay in balance

Prayer for Thursday, April 26, 2012

Heavenly Father,

You have blessed us all with another day. Please protect us from evil and strengthen us in your ways. Help us to be strong, patient and kind and to our brothers' or sisters' needs, help us not to be blind. We are to often caught up in our own way and forget the path that we have trod. Furthermore, we forget the path that Jesus trod - healing the sick, preaching the good word; then yet to the cross to die. We thank you Lord for sending Jesus to save us. We are truly inspired by his sacrifice for us and pray for strength to walk that straight path. The joy at the end is you Lord.

AMEN

Rhyming is fun!

Do you have a hard time rhyming? It is not hard at all. However, if you have a particular accent, you can't make words try to rhyme when they really don't. Some words are harder to find a rhyming match so it is better to just repeat the word in another line. Like 'eclipse' could rhyme with 'crisp' or 'enrich' if the words are put to flow.

An example is:

I have no sense of time
but yet I mark this thing rhyme
Yesterday there was a eclipse
but my mind seems too crisp
I've made my own throne
but sometimes I don't feel grown
I act a like a fast turtle
but walk like I'm in a suffocating girdle
and sand is in my appendix
but still I'm eating Twix

I can go on and on but it's important to read more and use a thesaurus and dictionary to learn new words. Rhyming is fun!
