THIRTEEN THINGS I'D LIKE TO KNOW!
*
*
Has the universe got an end?
Are ring-piercings just a trend?
Will there be bush-fires this year?
What is the ringing in my ear?
Why don't I like wine and others do?
Why, when sad, do we say we're 'blue'?
Who will win our next election?
Why do I always lose my direction?
How did the universe begin?
I'm competing, will I win?
Are there people in outer space?
What's this pimple on my face?
What shall I have for lunch today?

I like this meme!
I think I'll stay!

Holland loses the World Soccer Cup.
TANTALISING TRIVIA!
Why did it matter? It's just a game!
Just kicking a ball about!
Why all this passion and hype and shame?
Why all the pain and doubt?
I think back to gladiator days
(Not that I'm that old)
When the crowds went wild at the spectacle
Of big men, brave and bold,
Fighting each other to the death,
Cheering them loud and long,
Watching them take a final breath
For all they were big and strong.
We haven't progressed, it seems to me,
From those ancient days of yore.
The only advantage I can see
Is
It's better than going to war!
