Think and Thank!

I was driving home one evening, very tired, I was wishing I could borrow the film trick they use in Africa magic to disappear and appear in my room, sleeping, all chores done by some robot and another robot that will make it rain so the weather would be very cold. I was that tired....

So you can imagine my frustration when I saw this huge traffic from afar. I was like lai lai, I cannot enter this one, I turned back, James Bond style, enroute alternative route.

That Long-old Saying!

I know of a long-old saying...it’s easily said but hardly ever done!

I know of an old man

He once was full of life

They said he once had a beautiful wife

He drove the nicest cars

He could stay on the phone for hours

They said it's 'cos he had so many friends

But it’s funny how those things all came to an end

I see him now, begging on the streets

He watches the cars pass him by daily

Trendy suits, windows up, sitting at the owner’s corner

They never pay him mind

He smiles with tears in his eyes

He sees himself in them

He never helped anyone and he particularly laughed at old poor people

He wondered what they did with their youth and called them lazy

He told himself he was working hard and had enough to take care of his old self

But somehow, life out-smarted him, he no longer felt so witty

All he could do was drown in self-pity.
