Ant

Where am I ? Who am I ?

In a tiny clay pot.. an ant

Bound by rules surrounded by want

I want to climb out but I can't

My world is extremely small

Hopes and dreams stand out tall

Born of a tiny globule- my egg

I perceived the world beyond limitation

With my wee learning  fertile imagination

My brown body charged with abundant energy

I run around seeking some food

Never thought if it'd do me any good

I smile,laugh,play with mechanical mood

My family of billions of ants

Plenty of love,kindness and affection

The pot rotates but I can't see which direction!

I cling onto the clay pot knowing well everything will pass

Pass into oblivion -- into total annihilation

The clay pot must shatter as knowledge unfolds

Will it be the effect of another Big Bang ??

Shattering the bits of Earth into space

Let's not fight instead say :Grace

Warm bright Light forever beckoning

Makes my mundane life worth living !!

Thanx ye both Mm Respected Nightlight & Dove for

Thanx ye both Mm Respected Nightlight & Dove for  your poetic & philosophical-practical insight & nl's on dentistry.Once I ran away from the dentist after being injected by the anaesthetic.. A truly horrible & dreaded situation.Hoever,Olly was with me.We both had a stroll & returned and tooth was extracted.Better painless procedures needs to be invented/discovered..... Guffaw !!! guffaw... huge guffaw.Nlightlite  ya really made this sailor fall off his boat!!!!!! Widey s---m---i---l---eee.BTW a big celebration called "Diwali" is on this Sunday(Local Sunday) It's a time when the "Dark Naked Goddess Kali" is worshipped just after midnight.People light earthen lamps,candles & decorate their homes with coloured electric lamps.Firecrackers are burnt.Liquor flows freely for some.Sweets are exchanged.Some worship Goddess Ganesh & Laxmi together on the same night.People buy gold & silver articles which (they believe) brings them good luck.But Diwali can be a nightmare .. young boys throw firecrackers onto the street which sometimes cause accidents.Hey !!! Me & my rotten blabber..Look up more on the Net.  Bye...

"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "

Boy, bishu....you know some

Boy, bishu....you know some really smart ants. I enjoyed this writing in "true bishu humour".  I have never been a fan of the dentist. Some people enjoy the high from the anesthesia, but it always caused me discomfort to be in such a helpless situation. I once had 8 teeth pulled at the same time by a small framed oriental doctor. In the middle of the procedure, as I lay in her chair with my mouth numb and secured open with metal clamps and rubber suspension to catch the blood so it didn't drip down my throat, she asked, "do you mind if I climb up here and place my knee on your shoulder to get this last one? It will only take a short minute, but I need the leverage". (Lmao). I said "sure, just get it out".. (however I am certain the diction was unintelligibly vocalized...;-).
