    The Spice of Life # 2

    ONE SECRET TO A HAPPY LIFE # 2

    One secret to a happy life
    Is this and nothing more
    Once a year, go somewhere
    You’ve never been before.

    DISABILITY SPORT

    They may well be considered
    In life to have a Vulnerability
    But where sport is concerned
    They have no such disability

    So calling it “Disability Sport”
    Couldn’t be more misleading
    When the limits they are given
    They are constantly exceeding

    Don’t look at them as disabled
    But as sportsmen and women
    Because in the arena of sport its
    As athletes you should define them

    LIEUTENANT GENERAL SIR LESLIE JAMES MORSHEAD KCB, KBE, CMG, DSO, ED (18 September 1889 – 26 September 1959)

    Australian schoolmaster
    Of Cornish stock
    Turned reluctant soldier to be
    A veteran of the Great War,
    Galipoli, Messines, Passchendaele,
    Villers-Bretonneux, and Amiens.
    After the armistice he was
    A peace time businessman
    Remaining active in part-time Militia.
    Until the Second World War,
    When he led the Australian and British troops
    At the Siege of Tobruk
    And at the Second Battle of El Alamein,
    Achieving decisive victories
    Over Rommel's Afrika Korps
    A strict and demanding officer,
    His soldiers affectionately nicknamed him
    “Ming the Merciless”,
    Later simply “Ming”
    After Flash Gordon’s nemesis
    He was a remarkable leader
    When ordered to hold Tobruk
    For 8 weeks and held for 7 months
    And it is widely regarded to be the point
    That Britain won the war

    ONCE IN AN AGE OF INNOCENCE

    Once in an age of innocence
    When the maids were chaste
    The body was a temple of love
    On which great value was placed
    Now the age of innocence is dead
    Virtue is sacrificed in haste
    Bodies are desecrated at will
    And displayed without disgrace

    AN ARTIST SHOULD BE ADMIRED

    An artist should be admired
    Treasured and inspired
    And encouraged to create
    Art to which we can relate

    WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES IN LIFE

    We all make mistakes in life
    But the first step is to admit it
    When you realize you've made one
    Take immediate steps to correct it

    Nice thoughts to spice up life. I particularly liked the one about the age of innocence.
