Echoes From The Tomb.


 A Bright Shining Life.
 

I have had a few jumbled words to a poem I have been trying to work out for the past few days and for some reason I've had trouble getting them to fit together the way that I want them to. I have managed to put together a rough version and I thought that I would post it to see how it flows. the last verse is longer than the rest but it was the only way I could get it to say what I was trying to say.

Shining Life.



Some hide forever in darkness,
knowing only their fears.
Listless and alone,
With a purpose unclear.

Not I. I dream and I ponder,
This miracle of light,
From the first rays of morning,
To the falling of night.

To the sights my eyes see,
In all times in between,
And every memory recalled,
Refreshed in my dream.

No I shall not want,
What I do not need.
And on bitter regret,
I will not feed.

And when I die, I’ll die knowing,
That I was privileged with the right,
To have lived but a moment,
In this bright Shining life.

 On That Special Day...
 



Guys?? We need to talk.. Just you guys and me.. You know what day is
Coming don’t ya’s? C.mon.. you didn’t forget did ya?? Oh geez.. I’m a single guy! And even I didn’t forget. C’mon guys think!! Think Man THINK!! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD MAN… THINK!!!! Your lives may hang in the balance here!! Ok.. Let me give you a hint… last year.. On that special day you bought your little ray of sunshine a little something special.. And this year you have to repeat the same bizarre ritual all over again.. Don’t you remember?? You bought flowers?.. And took her out to Burger King right before you gave her that special edition set of pink Craftsman Socket wrenches? Oh dear guys.. Ok.. Now the burger king thing was probably a bad idea.. Right up there with that bowling ball and that set of heroes of the NFL bed sheets that you gave her for Christmas,but not quite as bad as the toilet plunger and bottle of liquid Draino that you sprung on her for her birthday. Think guys..It is probably one of the most important days on the female calendar.The day of love- (Insert long… Painful..sigh here.)a day of… OF…. Wait.. No no.. its too… painful.. A day of… romance..Flowers and hearts… and Hearts and… flowers and shit.. The day when you are forced to proclaim- err.. I mean willingly proclaim your undying obedience and love for her. (Pay close attention to the obedience part.) unwavering love.. Forever.. And ever.. And ever.. And… ever.. GUYS!! DON’T FORGET!!!….

Nine out of Ten Would be Adequate
Researchers at Alabama's Auburn University say they have determined what men want in the "ideal woman": she is sexually inexperienced but likes sex, has a career but is a full-time homemaker, has a slim build, is athletic, and has pretty eyes, dark hair, good complexion and a firm butt. Large breasts are nice, but not all that important. The study's lead author, Erica Gannon, says the specifications are similar to what is found in the Bible. "Our participants, whether knowingly or unknowingly, espouse a view of the ideal woman that is very similar to the views held by individuals thousands of years ago." However, she adds, "It's hard to be this woman." (UPI) ...About as hard as being the ideal man: strong yet gentle, powerful yet sensitive, has a great career yet helps clean the house and raise the children, in control yet cries, and a sex expert who's only been with one woman.

Use Your Head
Virginia Tech is outfitting its football players with high-tech helmets with special sensors to gather data on the head blows the athletes suffer in normal games and practice sessions. The data are sent to a central computer in real time via a wireless link. "We'll get a better handle on how head injuries should be managed from a clinical perspective," says the school's chief athletics physician, Gunnar Brolinson. The system is called the Simbex Head Impact Telemetry System, or "HIT System" for short. (USA Today) ...Let's just say that wasn't their first attempt at a clever acronym.

Our Crack team of Medical reporters uncovered this.



From the Medical Files.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

1. A man comes into the ER and yells, "My wife's going to have her baby in the cab!" I grabbed my stuff, rushed out to the cab, lifted the lady's dress, and began to take off her underwear. Suddenly I noticed that there were several cabs -- and I was in the wrong one.
Submitted by Dr. Mark MacDonald

2. At the beginning of my shift I placed a stethoscope on an elderly and slightly deaf female patient's anterior chest wall. "Big breaths," I instructed. "Yes, they used to be," replied the patient.
Submitted by Dr. Richard Byrnes

3. One day I had to be the bearer of bad news when I told a wife that her husband had died of a massive myocardial infarct. Not more than five minutes later, I heard her reporting to the rest of the family that he had died of a "massive internal fart."
Submitted by Dr. Susan Steinberg

4. During a patient's two week follow-up appointment with his cardiologist, he informed me, his doctor, that he was having trouble with one of his medications. "Which one? " I asked. "The patch. The nurse told me to put on a new patch every six hours and now I'm running out of places to put it!" I had him quickly undress and discovered what I hoped I wouldn't see. Yes, the man had over fifty patches on his body! Now, the instructions include removal of the old patch before applying a new one.
Submitted by Dr. Rebecca St. Clair

5. While acquainting myself with a new elderly patient, I asked, "How long have you been bedridden?" After a look of complete confusion she answered..."Why, not for about twenty years -- when my husband was alive."
Submitted by Dr. Steven Swanson

6. I was caring for a woman and asked, "So how's your breakfast this morning?" "It's very good, except for the Kentucky Jelly. I can't seem to get used to the taste," the patient replied. I then asked to see the jelly and the woman produced a foil packet labeled "KY Jelly."
Submitted by Dr. Leonard Kransdorf

7. A nurse was on duty in the Emergency Room, when a young woman with purple hair styled into a punk rocker mohawk, sporting a variety of tattoos, and wearing strange clothing, entered. It was quickly determined that the patient had acute appendicitis, so she was scheduled for immediate surgery. When she was completely disrobed on the operating table, the staff noticed that her pubic hair had been dyed green, and above it there was a tattoo that read, "Keep off the grass." Once the surgery was completed, the surgeon wrote a short note on the patient's dressing, which said, "Sorry, had to mow the lawn."
Submitted by RN no name

8. As a new, young MD doing his residency in OB, I was quite embarrassed when performing female pelvic exams. To cover my embarrassment I had unconsciously formed a habit of whistling softly. The middle-aged lady upon whom I was performing this exam suddenly burst out laughing and further embarrassing me. I looked up from my work and sheepishly said, "I'm sorry. Was I tickling you?"She replied, "No doctor, but the song you were whistling was, I wish I was an Oscar Meyer Wiener!"
Dr. wouldn't submit his name

 One more day to go.
 





I won’t be around much until late tomorrow afternoon sometime. just before it was time to go home I was asked to work for a few hours tomorrow so I obliged. I was going to post this thing that a guy at work showed me that he got through his Email Via his sister in law of all people . He shared it with a few of the guys at work and we all got a chuckle out of it. I never know what is old or new on the internet, this was new to me. Kind of funny too.. Hope everyone has a great night.

The Day The Penis Asked For A Pay Raise.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I, The Penis, hereby request a raise in salary for the following reasons:

I do physical labor.
I work at great depths.
I plunge headfirst into everything I do.
I do not get weekends or public holidays off.
I work in a damp environment.
I work in a dark workplace that has poor ventilation.
I work in high temperatures.
My work exposes me to contagious diseases.

Sincerely.
P. Niss.

The Response.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dear Penis:
After assessing your request, and considering the arguments that you have raised, the administration has rejected your request for the following reasons:
You do not work 8 hours straight.
You fall asleep after brief work periods.
You do not always follow orders of the management team.
You do not stay in your designated area and are often seen visiting other locations.
You do not take initiative- you need to be pressured and stimulated in order to start working.
You leave the workplace rather messy at the end of your shift.
You don’t always observe necessary safety regulations, such as wearing the correct protective clothing.
You will retire well before you are 65.
You are unable to work double shifts.
You sometimes leave your designated work area before you have completed the assigned task.
And if that were not all, you have been seen constantly entering and exiting the workplace carrying two suspicious looking bags.

Sincerely:

Administrative president.
V. Gina.

 Revisiting some more poetry.
 



I think that part of the reason that I stopped writing poetry is Because after awhile that’s all that I seemed to be posting. And I got bored (as I often do.) but still every once in awhile I come across one and I think to myself.
“ What was I thinking or feeling when I wrote that?”
well I’ve learned to not wonder so much about anymore. Here is a piece that I wrote in 2006, I'm not sure it qualifies as poetry but it does have that ring to it. I will be writing some new stuff off and on and I will post it if I think that it is good enough..

Sea Of Pearls

When you Walk along and see me by the road,
Please.. Be mindful as I bear this heavy load.
Though loving in my Heart I be,
There is trouble with my looks perceived,
I’m a stone upon this earth ,
In a sea of pearls.
I was not born here for you to judge,
Of the circumstances, I’m no victim of,
Do not mock, or try to hide me,
Emasculate, nor crucify me.
I’m penniless, but whole I be,
So much more than the man you see.
For my soul and flesh and bone,
I search this earth, to find a home,
And if you could read between the lines,
In my heart, no malice there you’ll find.
As I find my way, through this earthly world,
I’m just a stone,
In a sea of Pearls.
