And The American Sandwich
And Poetry On Wednesday
And Carry On Tuesday
When you are old and gray and full of sleep
POW NaiSaiKu
Italiano:
È l’ultimo bacio
ARRIVEDERCI?
Is (this) the last kiss goodbye
In Italian?
COT NaiSaiKu
When you are ninety
Old and gray and full of sleep
Will you remember
GROWING ANCIENT GRACEFULLY
Will you remember
Young and blonde and full of life
When you are ninety
AMERICAN SANDWICH – BILL’S BULL
Interviewer: What would you say is your lifetime’s greatest achievement?
Candidate: That has to be teaching myself to speak Italian.
Luckily for Bill, Mr. Paradorn only spoke Thai and English..
Enjoyed this wry humour drizzling through the writings! Great thoughts! And love the new look blog!
ReplyDeleteThanks GT; Just for fun - and I couldn't resist the elephant.
ReplyDeleteOh man you and I really have ta meet........and have a drink.........Oh it seems we are all changing things on our blogs....me likey!
ReplyDeleteThanks Whitesnake; One of these days I'll take you up on that.
ReplyDeleteNoticed your cool changes too.
My son is only four, and he remembers things from when he was barely two. This amazes me. But really, why should it, it was merely two years back for him?
ReplyDeleteHow a ninety year old would remember young and blonde...now THAT is amazing.

You must be nearly ninety Dad :D
ReplyDeleteThanks to:
ReplyDeleteDina; My own kids often amaze me with their powers of recollection.
Changnoi; Sometimes you make me feel that way.
Hi Stan am amazed by your Naisaiku every time!
ReplyDeleteThis time you've gone from OLd & gray to Yound & Blonde..Wasn;t aware we could twist a Naisaiku..
Wonderful!
I find it so wonderfully funny to take Yeats and make light with him. I think he would approve wholeheartedly.
ReplyDeleteAnd Italian gets me, each time. :-)
Read my Carry On Tuesday Poem here.
the Naisaiku is so beautifull.... well written...
ReplyDeleteThanks to:
ReplyDeleteVibhuti; Hi, NaiSaiku is an excerisise in fun with words - No rules...
Julie; Any interpretation is a form of flattery.
Rajlakshmi; Reaching 90 would suit me, with or without memories of youth.
alas I never Knew a young blond well enough to remeber but maybe a brunette or two. I think when you reach 90 it is easy to remember the youthful years. It's yesterday that is a problem
ReplyDeleteThanjs GSB; I'm only half way there and yesterday is a problem for me... but the guys I was drinking with last night will remind me soon enough...!
ReplyDeleteAlways enjoy your humour. Haven't been by in awhile. I really like the elephant. And the Italian and kisses, and yes, hope to remember both when 90 if it should ever happen to occur.
ReplyDeleteThanks Melissa; Don't we all...?
ReplyDeletenice!
ReplyDeletelove your Italian.
Thanks Angie; It's a movie title I didn't have room for in my POW post.
ReplyDeleteHi Stan, love the way you play with the words here! I wonder what Robert de Niro would make of it?
ReplyDeleteLove the new layout!
Thanks Andy; He'd probably stick to Omerta ( Mafia code of silence).
ReplyDeleteAnd the layout is courtesy of the new design options.
Just make sure that bacio isn't the kiss of death :).
ReplyDeleteThanks Francis; I hope not a Judas kiss.
