Jude's Rhyming Ode to Codgerhood!

Do you know the signs of age-induced codgerhood? Senior status creeps up on us all eventually so perhaps the following Ode may serve as a useful guide for pre-codgers who only think they know what to expect!

When your eyesight starts to fade

and it's too hot in the shade

you're a codger

When you want a chair that's cushy

just to satisfy your tushie

you're a codger

When your meds are piling up

and Mylanta's in your cup

you're a codger

When the president's quite old

and his policies too bold

you're a codger

When you vote just like a trooper

though your country's in the pooper

you're a codger

When your knees are feeling weak

so a heating pad you seek

you're a codger

When your ears are awfully crusty

and your memory too rusty

you're a codger

When your BP's on the rise

to your doctor no surprise

you're a codger

When you once were very groovy

like a hip cat in a movie

you're a codger

When your beard is white not gray

and your eyebrows fade away

you're a codger

When your double chin's a beauty

and you sport a wide patootie

you're a codger

When your boyancy is sinking

and your feet have started stinking

you're a codger

When your skin is rather itchy

then your singing voice grows pitchy

you're a codger

When your Dotage Discount Day

makes it less you have to pay

you're a codger

When your cheeks begin to sag

and your grand kids think you nag

You're a codger

When your head's a little lightish

and your waistband's way too tightish

You're a codger

When your doctor is a child

and your nostril hairs grow wild

you're a codger

When your trying harder lapses

and you've lost a few synapses

you're a codger

When your eyelids are so twitchy

and your side is rather stitchy

you're a codger

When your standing is unfit

so you think you'd better sit

you're a codger

When your hair is getting thin

recognize the shape you're in

you're a codger

When you say just what you think

which makes everybody blink

you're a codger

When your face is very rosy

and your walking speed is mosey

you're a codger

When a crone they start to call you

and it doesn't really gall you

you're a codger

When your lobes are drooping low

so those earrings have to go

you're a codger

When your bed's your bestest friend

then it's time this Ode must end

you are most assuredly a codger!

There are lots more Ode-ish rhymes where these came from but you get the point--so get busy 'cos your Time's a-wastin'!

#CodgerLivesMatter

Can environment cause poetry to bloom?

~~

This evening my environment was host to news of a scientific breakthrough as I watched CBS' 60 Minutes' feature about the possibility of resurrecting extinct species and bringing them back to life.

What they'd eat and how much was not revealed, but a brief poem was inspired by hearing this Frankenstein-esque news. Astrologically, 'scientific breakthroughs' relate to Jupiter/Uranus and the two 'light bulb' planets will meet in Great Conjunction three times in 2010 into 2011:

1. June 8, 2010 @ 00Ari18 (Aries Point, a degree in the zodiac of world event manifestation);

2. Sept 19, 2010 @ 28Pis43;

3. Jan 4, 2011 @ 27Pis02

Hopefully, the knowledge-expanding hook-up of Jupiter and Uranus will bring the world something beneficial from the scientific community, for mankind could use a fortunate turn about now, right? And none of that 'space wars' crap either.

Click the link to read, if you wish, for it won't take you but a moment in Time which is something that will be totally skewed if Science succeeds in their cloning quest!

Q: if you could live next door to a real live Dinosaur Zoo, would you?

Two Hours You'll Never Get Back's first post

Spend two hours reading and viewing here if you wish, but you do know they're totally non-refundable, right?

Yes, it would be impossible to spend a full two hours on one inconsequential blog such as this, but when was the last time you heard, 'one minute you'll never get back'?

So you see my dilemma: my choices were quite limited. And when you have only one choice, you have no choice at all.

Just so you know: this blog will be a tapestry of whatever for any reason. Don't expect anything but the best of what one lone blogger can manage, Dear Reader, typos and all. You shall occasionally be addressed as Dear Reader whether such a term of affection applies to you or not.

Comments and queries are welcome if you'll stay on topic for the post you're complai...I mean, commenting on. Comment moderation shall occur; link trades are most welcome so don't stint yourself on that score.

Art, Astrology, Politics, Cultural and Social Issues, Poetry, Ecological concerns, Spiritual and Futuristic subjects including Space, Cosmic, and Astronomy topics will be presented when inspiration lights on my shoulder and doesn't get brushed off by mistake.

Out of the corner of your eye you may notice that Fairy Art appears from time to time but please don't be alarmed: they won't harm you. It's the politicians you should be worried about.

New Blog idea occurred: 5.5.09 at 12:03 am edt, Pluto 3Cap24 Rx and rising (uh oh) with Mercury 1Gem34 about to station retrograde (1Gem44)...oh dear. At least Fixed Star Arcturus ('a different approach') was shining at Midheaven.
