Oooh Grandma, what a big ovophil you are...
My granma, whose skills are legend,
taught me beside these skills
that only granmas know
her secret name she uses when she writes her poems.
It's 'ananym'.
You'll need Webster for that.

The skills that we have are the actual magic skills - not the performing skills. We have to separate those. But the actual skills that make the tricks work, we don't get to use again.

Life Time Teaches
it was difficult
if you had the skills
it would be easier
it would be easy
or it would be easier
with acquired skills
it was difficult
now you have requisite skills
learning can be difficult
who will teach?
life time teaches
our soul grows

The chief is not the best
It is not that the best in the skills
Becomes a captain of a team.
It requires some other skills for that.
The chief is not the best of all.

Seek the less knowing
Show your skills to those having not it.
Then only you will get applause.
Then only could you be proud of your skills

At times those skills were really hard to do because not only was I having to contend with the camera, but I was having to learn these new skills and the ball was always kind of doing what you didn't want it to do. So it got a little bit frustrating at times but we got there.

Ah, mastery... what a profoundly satisfying feeling when one finally gets on top of a new set of skills... and then sees the light under the new door those skills can open, even as another door is closing.

Sweet Little Girls
Sweet little girls
Cut a swathe through this world
Using skills that they get
From their mothers
Sweet little girls
Might like ribbons and curls
But they most like to torture their brothers
And sweet little girls
Love their friends
'Till it hurts
Or until
They can find them another
Watch their lips, they make a circle like
"Coo coo coo coo"
But the words their saying softly are
Cruel cruel cruel
Sweet little girls
Cut a swathe through this world
Using skills that they get
From their mothers
Watch their lips, they make a circle like
"Coo coo coo coo"
But the words their saying softly are
Cruel cruel cruel
Yeah sweet little girls
Cut a swathe through this world
Using skills that they get
From their mothers
Using skills that they get from their mothers
Using skills that they get from their
Aah aah etc...

There are two ways to extend a business. Take inventory of what you're good at and extend out from your skills. Or determine what your customers need and work backward, even if it requires learning new skills. Kindle is an example of working backward.

As skills and energy became more of a demand, people who didn't have skills just got left behind, got shuttled to the side. Education didn't keep up with their promise. Education didn't prepare them for this new world. Jobs went overseas.

Wannabes
In this world, there are many wannabes,
who will never become the bees.
Their attitude is their failing
along with their organizing skills.
A little power will go to their head,
and they think
because they have the power
they have the knowledge as well.
Sadly, it is the knowledge they lack
and the skills of management.
They are just wannabes
and that is all they’ll ever be.

With Only The Ability To Waste
There was a time,
And this was not too long ago...
When those of skills and talents,
Only had a wish to share them.
To assist others in the fulfillment,
Of seeing 'their' dreams and wishes...
Come true.
With a volunteering of their efforts denied.
And...
Without a dime of payment mentioned.
But those making decisions,
Believed the ones who would want to do this...
Only sought the getting of attention.
And refusing them they did,
To ensure they were dismissed.
Today?
How things have changed.
Today there are those who are hired,
To solicit volunteers.
With the paying of expensive media advertisements,
To attract those with talents and skills to give.
And this is done with blatant attention given,
To the ones getting paid.
With only the ability to waste funding,
To achieve nothing getting done.
But say they do there is no one willing to work for free.
And these are the same people...
Publicly declaring there is no communal unity.
'We need you! '
~For what? ~
'To volunteer your skills,
As a community service.'
~And how will my doing this,
Be of benefit to you? ~
'A job that keeps me paid and something to do.'

Community service has taught me all kinds of skills and increased my confidence. You go out there and think on your feet, work with others and create something from nothing. That's what life's all about.

I Am Not That Giving
If you do not know what respect is.
And you wish for me to point out to you,
Those things you do that are disrespectful?
And your attraction to immaturity too?
You need no longer excuse what you do that has been done,
On pride.
There is something disconnected in your head.
And I am not about to teach another adult,
What is appropriate social etiquette.
That would be likened to teaching a full grown cat,
The aspects of hygiene.
I am not that giving or blessed with those skills.
You want me to do what?
Tell you when you are being disrespectful?
How old are you?
55?
I am not that giving or blessed with those skills.

Conan the Barbarian, Lucas the Destroyer! ! ! !
Inspired by a maternal love
who lacks me some times
(see the title, you'll understand)
a negative poem to my dear son Lucas!
Living with him i learned more than i taught!
How is important have warranty and insurance
warranty for those objects that you like so much
Insurance for this moments that you lose completely your head!
My Laptop, treasured by me in secret hidden
passwords carefully chosen by Pentagon
The enemy saw, waited and broken
thousands pieces of my life in ground
(psychiatric hospital, please)
The digital camera, semi professional?
That rare book which was stolen from the library? The English dishes? From my family? ? ? ?
Could seem incredible, but in one day, done
The Barbarian has not pity! ! ! !
(no, not kill him, please)
Knowing your force and skills
Your brother, in a desperate attempt to stop the destroyer
gives to him my cell phone to dismantle. A joke! ! ! !
OH! Ability. Has no time to stop! Just few minutes, all parts beyond
But this 'boy' has a future, say his brother! !
(mother sedate)
yes, quality control, if resists to him......
Mom, Mom! ! ! ! ! !
But despite these dire and maddening skills
no warranty or insurance to support me!
He is my son! ! ! And i must love him! ! ! ! I think.
Lucas, when you go to your father's house? ?
God exists! ! ! !
