So Little Done

CARRY ON TUESDAY

This week, we are asked to use the last words spoken by Cecil Rhodes before his death in 1902
'So little done, so much to do!'

SO LITTLE DONE!

'So little done!' the housewife cries

As all around her chaos lies.

'Beds to make and food to cook;

Where did you put your library book?

Lunches to pack, and hair to brush,

Homework to check! All I do is rush!'

'So much to do' Grandfather sighs

'The days zoom past before one dies.

So many flowers and pretty faces,

Scenery, enchanting places,

So many things to see and do

I wish  had the same time as you.'

THE CORD.

The umbilical cord

That links us to Reality

Has no cord.

Odd that!

The Great Womb

Called cyberspace

Is on the end of

That non-existent cord.

The Mother who nurtures us,

Talks to us,

Compliments us,

Reminds us,

Bolsters our confidence

And is our greatest friend.

The world is terrifying.

We are surrounded by the Unknowns,

Strange people mill about us.

We can avoid contact

By retaining our link

To the Great Mother.

'Keep close' she says.

'I speak with a thousand voices

But have no fear

For I am with you.

To prove that you exist.
