POETRY FOR PLEASURE
O mistress mine, where are you roaming?
William Shakespeare (1564-1616)
O Mistress mine, where are you roaming?
O, stay and hear; your true love's coming,
That can sing both high and low:
Trip no further, pretty sweeting;
Journeys end in lovers meeting,
Every wise man's son doth know.
What is love? 'Tis not hereafter;
Present mirth hath present laughter;
What's to come is still unsure:
In delay there lies not plenty;
Then, come kiss me, sweet and twenty,
Youth's a stuff will not endure.

In a letter to a newspaper, a writer detailed some of the precepts his mother taught him.
1) Logic. “Because I said so, that’s why!”
2) To appreciate a job well done. “If you’re going to kill one another, do it outside. I’ve just finished cleaning.”
3) Time travel. “If you don’t start behaving, I’m going to knock you into the middle of next week.”
4) Religion. “You better pray that mark will come out of the carpet.”
5) Foresight. “Make sure you wear clean underwear, in case you’re in an accident.”
6) Doing two things at once. “Shut your mouth and eat your supper.”
7) Contortionism. “Will you look at that dirt on the back of your neck!”
8) Cause and Effect. “If you fall off that wall and die, don’t come crying to me!”

Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young. (Henry Ford)
