I felt like the ugly duckling of the school.
My teacher stated stop your complaining.
I want my art true this should be my rule
So check your drawing.then art amazing.

My teacher stated stop your complaining
I struck out at bat .My style waz not sound.
So check your drawing.then art amazing
She meant cast drawing-later I found.

I struck out at bat .My  style was pnot sound
My drawings today exhibit that style.
She meant it was cast drawing-later I found
Showing my teacher my grind juvenile.

My drawings today exhibit that style
I want my art true this should be my rule.
Showing my teacher my grind juvenile
I felt like the ugly duckling of the schoo

ship’s chief is a head chef. - I was that day
I made my Dragon’s Breath chili with less heat
Some folks found the heat mild;some  ******* -ok
I put out extra heat as s a treat

I made my Dragon’s Breath chili with less heat
The chili had veggies,meat sauce and beans
I put out extra heat as s a treat
Everything was going well so it seems

The chili had veggies,meat sauce and beans
And Cumin and salt and pepper too
Everything was going well so it seems
And  cooked for a half hour through and through

And Cumin and salt and pepper too
Some folks found the heat mild;some  ******* ok

Those were the days I thought they never end
Making my Dragons’s Breath chili
And beer, soft drink and chili  for my friends
Chili like fire  one says  ;need beer quickly

Making my Dragons’s Breath chili          
Cooking chili is like a balance beam        
My chili tastes like tangy fire  it seems
Chili   like fire ,one says ;need beer quickly.

Cooking chili is like a balance beam  
Each party I reduce the heat
My chili tastes like tangy fire it seems
. My homies found it better to eat

Each party I reduce the heat
And beer, soft drink and chili  for my friends
My homies found it better to eat
Those were the days I thought they never end

Dear Human
I am glad you came to me seeking rede.
Surprised that my intelligence is greater.
and different than yours.-nuff said.

You are wondering how this is possible?
Our species is pan galactic.- plausible.

All cells  neuron’s as your boffins surmise ,
Terrestrial cells are 2-20 micro meters in length .Celestials vary in size.

Neuron cells on earth grew  -are called hyphae.
Over cosmic time cosmic cells grew into huge hyphae .and then into hyper intelligence ..
Your more aware scientist think the cosmos
is alive.

Our species on earth. create an organic network
It did not take much guesswork - just teamwork,
In space races linked  into one  mind
A unitary  mind -where no soul  is blind ,
Before this happens  Humans must stop war
Turn weaponry into livingry, forevermore
And put into practice works of Fuller too
The Cosmic envoys messages are due,
Also the Venus Project  is important
If it is wisely installed not discordant,

I read your mind ,Child..I jest not..
Lastly eating mushrooms are good for you.
Cook them in a ***.
Good for brain bones and flesh too.
Eating Lions Maine improves your brain..

Yours in unity

The Trip to hospital,
The operation and Treatment,
Off to rehab centre,
The Best of times,
End times.

My leg feels funny call Ben he says call Steve,
Steve arrives,off to the hospital we go,
I will never walk again-Freaking out,
I need an emergency operation,
The Trip to hospital.

I had an op to remove a blood clot,
Woke up 10 days later Leg looked like crap,
Started treatment at the hospital pronto,
I had it twice daily I felt despondent ,
The operation and Treatment.

I can walk for a short time,
I develop  thrombosis in right leg,
Fixed it . Doctors says infections are gone,
I was released finally. I was happy,
Off to rehab centre.

I visited my cousin in B. C..
I took draughrsmanship and painting lessons.
I used to do gardening for 8 years.
I must have paiinted twenty or more paintings.
The Best of times.

The food here is better than the VIGI,
I go thedepot to eat once a week,
Other times I go elsewhere,
I write poetry and study the runes,
End times.

I feel like shredded clothing
I feel my  wishes count not
Creaky boat of wishes is sinking
At times ,I feel plenty shot

Water is filling up my boat quickly
Emotions starting to drown me briskly
Start to empty out the hull fast
Be more steadfast. and save your ***

Try asking in a more pleasing form
Your ship will perform with ease
Any storm tossed seas
You will be pleased
Dealing with depression living in a nursing home and family and finances
