Personal . . .

https://www.prepscholar.com/gre/blog/graduate-school-personal-

A song is a statement
Which comes straight from the heart
With a little bit of input from the head
Containing lyrics or having none
The sentiment's no weaker
Nor less valid
An artist which accomplishes this
Is both wily and quite versatile
His work is comic, topical,
or often very personal

Pam's Song
©1976, 2003 Raymond M. Jozwiak

Needs . . .

It's sweltering
As some may say
The heat
With the humidity
Leaves beads of liquid
On my skin
When barely
Making an effort

I'm not complaining
Rest assured
I find little fault
with oppressive conditions
Particularly when
Compared with other seasons
That require stratum
Of clothing for warmth

But during these Dog Days
While running amock
In my newfound freedom
I do, in my
Indeterminate wisdom
Discern the need
To keep the body
In hydration

As a result
I eat and I drink
In amounts
More than needed to suffice
My attempts to be comfortable,
Healthy, the like
Would be better assisted
If I could only get ice

Morton 2 . . .

One day, Morton the mantis was feasting upon a sumptuous array of beetles, grasshoppers and crickets when, off in the distance, he spotted what appeared to him to be, a most gorgeous lady-mantis in obvious search for food. This, thought Morton, could be the fulfillment of his every dream. A mate with whom he could share his insect bounty, and maybe even his very future, a prospect for which he always had yearned. The lady-mantis lured Morton with her pheromones. Suddenly, Morton felt an inescapable urge to dance. He danced and danced approaching her ever so closely. His dance brought him within touching distance of her and he found that she seemed agreeable to his close presence now. He began, without fully understanding how or why, to climb upon her back as she was much larger than he in size. Then, as conscious thought and action grabbed a backseat and instinct took over, the two became one in a timeless tango of passion and procreation. Then after a period, as females of the mantis persuasion often do, she bit off his head and devoured his corpse for nourishment.

My Head . . .

. . . or more specifically, the contents therein, provide me with a wealth of entertainment. Musing on the past, present, life, death, the world, the country . . . it's endless. Today, for some reason, the past took front and center, and monopolized the activities of the grey matter for a portion of the early morning hours. The past and my place in it and the person I was in that place back then would pretty much sum it up. I was timid, unsure. So many personalities come to mind; personalities that I envied for your sheer joy, their fearlessness, their humor and their confidence. Then I wonder, where are they now? What are they like now? Are they still joyful, fearless, funny and confident?

GOOGLE? . . .

Always . . .

. . . You

You've always been ahead of me
One fact that I
In my infinite wisdom
Could not always see
But in the end you always convinced me
Things aren't always
What they appear
The things I've always looked for

Once long ago before we met
I thought I could
Singlehandedly make the
Spinning world go away
Just like some king
from back in those bygone days
But I was wrong
I don't belong
Inside this category

Seemed to be
At the time to me
To my advantage
Missing why
Not knowing
When to try
To start believing
In my very own
Self determination

Sometimes at night
When I'm alone
The solitude
And the quiet can bring out
All the worst in my head
But now it seems that isn't so big or bad
I've learned a thing

Or maybe two
And just ahead
There's
Always
You

Bobble . . .

-head history . . .

(from http://www.bobbleheads.com/history-of-bobbleheads.html)
Bobblehead dolls ". . . are thought to date back at least 150 years. The earliest known reference to similar toys is from the 1842 short story The Overcoat by Nikolai Gogol, which described a character as having a neck which was "like the neck of plaster cats which wag their heads". . . Player-specific dolls for (professional baseball players) Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays, Roger Maris, and Roberto Clemente, were produced for the first time and sold during the 1960 World Series. Although the uniforms were different, each of them shared the same face. Unfortunately, because of their papier-mache construction, very few of these early bobble head dolls have survived without damage - usually chipping or cracking. In the 1970s, construction methods improved, and new bobbles were made of ceramic materials. They became popular for other sports, as well as for cartoon characters of the day. The bobblehead set for the Beatles became one of the most famous and rare of all time, and it is still a valuable collectible today. However, by the mid-1970s, bobbleheads had again fallen out of favor, and very few new bobbleheads were produced. It would take nearly two decades for them to return to prominence. . . After 2000, new variations of the dolls were also produced - including the mini-bobblehead, bobble computer sitters, bobblehead banks, and even bobblehead air fresheners. Customized bobbleheads also became possible and several companies began to offer this service. Many current bobblehead dolls closely resemble their real-life counterparts, including matching tattoos, hair styles, headbands, and even scars. . ."

Wisdom . . .

(from http://www.notable-quotes.com/w/wisdom_quotes.html)
Knowledge is flour, but wisdom is bread.
Austin O'Malley, Keystones of Thought

The difference between a wise and foolish man is this--the former sees much, thinks much, and speaks little; but the latter speaks more than he either sees or thinks.
William Scott Downey, Proverbs

An ignorant man is always able to say yes or no immediately to any proposition. To a wise man, comparatively few things can be propounded which do not require a response with qualifications, with discriminations, with proportion.
Horace Mann, Thoughts

There is a wisdom of the Head, and ... there is a wisdom of the Heart.
Charles Dickens, Hard Times

Let men be wise by instinct if they can, but when this fails be wise by good advice.
Sophicles, Antigone

Wisdom is not communicable. The wisdom which a wise man tries to communicate always sounds foolish.... Knowledge can be communicated, but not wisdom. One can find it, live it, do wonders through it, but one cannot communicate and teach it.
Hermann Hesse, Siddhartha

Wisdom is the daughter of experience.
Leonardo Da Vinci, Thoughts on Art and Life

Wisdom comes only through suffering.
Aeschylus, Agamemnon

Be very slow to believe that you are wiser than all others; it is a fatal but common error.
Charles Caleb Coltron, Lacon

An intelligent man believes only half of what he hears, a wise man knows which half.
Evan Esar, 20,000 Quips & Quotes

Wisdom is a treasure, the key whereof is never lost.
Edward Counsel, Maxims

Wisdom is the perception of the unimportance of the things we call great, and of the importance of the things we call small.
Charles Edward Jerningham, The Maxims of Marmaduke

So Doc . . .

. . . How should I interpret a dream I had, in which my son owned a small, reptile (Cayman, Alligator, Crocodile?) which was not eating and had seemed to develop a particularity pugnacious disposition. Naturally I was attempting to assist when the creature escaped its enclosure. I was able to physically subdue it with little injury. Shortly my son returned to the scene with a live bird in his possession in hopes that poultry would whet the monster’s appetite. I thought it a better idea to place the prey into the habitat followed by the resident himself which we proceeded to undertake. When I placed the lizard into the tank with the bird, the latter quickly and instinctively snapped at the aggressor and to my astonishment bit off the alligators head entirely. I was mortified. Not due to any particular affinity for the reptile but because my idea directly contributed, if not actually caused, the death of my son’s new pet.

My son, incidentally, comforted me and took the entire episode magnanimously which, although this was a dream, is quite in keeping with his actual personality.

So am I to glean from this nocturnal video:
a. never place the bird in the cage before the lizard?
b. be forgiving always?
c. cut back on cheeseburgers with onions and mushrooms and sweet-potato fries before going to sleep?

Another . . .

. . . project. . .

Every hair on your head
Has got to be in place
For the camera
Every place you happen to be
The people stare

You are not the main attraction
You are not the main attraction
You are not the main attraction
But oh
How you wanted to be

Don't equate each little thing
That happened in the past
To the present
Don't expect each person to see
The things you see

You are not the main attraction
You are not the main attraction
You are not the main attraction
But oh
How you wanted to be

Do you ever think of anyone else
Does concern come crossing your mind
There's enough conceit under your own belt
To last a lifetime

If your dream should ever come true
I'll see that spiteful face
On the cover
Of a tabloid where the headline reads
She wants to be

Nothing but the main attraction
Nothing but the main attraction
You are not the main attraction
But oh
How you wanted to be

You are not the main attraction
You are not the main attraction
You are not the main attraction
But oh
How you wanted to be
But oh
How you wanted to be

The Main Attraction
