Dating is Dated (or should be)
Much like kindergarten
prepares children for childhood
the 1950s model of dating
prepared young men and women for their adult roles.
In the old days
the man was the provider
so he paid on dates.
The woman took great care with her appearance,
a crucial part of her role.
Sometimes the man ordered for the woman in restaurants
without even consulting her.
I wouldn't have survived.
"The lady will have the salmon"
"Eww! I will not. I HATE fish!"
That would have...

Knights stall around the table
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Error, error and that's all
Horror, terror and a fall
Warriors attend a call
Summoning in a mall
Everyone's a pall
Holly grail ball
Stand tall
Stall
Stall
Stall
Stall
Mirror
On the wall
Warriors attend
A call before the fall
Error, error and that's all
Horror, terror and a fall
Warriors attend a call
Summoning in a mall
Everyone's a pall
Holly grail ball
Stand tall
Stall
Stall
Stall
Stall
Mirror
On the wall
Warriors attend
A call before the fall

Valentine's day
How on earth did Valentine's day evolve from ancient Roman traditions and the martyrdom of priest Valentine, to a celebration of romantic love?
It is such a mystery to me...
Never cared for it really, all this rehearsed staged display of a more modern tradition, born thousands of years ago from an execution.
Kind of changes the perspective of it doesn't it?
Besides, should'nt love be celebrated year round?
For what it's worth, happy Valentine's day...
It is such a mystery to me...

Be choosy about change
Old is gold
Let this be told
for the 'good old days'
had some good old ways
So I'd rather not exchange
old lamps for new
lest I suffer like in Aladdin's tale
and loose everything of value
For if I lose my old lamps
I've no genie to restore my loss
So beware of modernist shams
Don't let change be your boss
The medieval days of extended families
when elders were respected
both for stories and homilies,
Passed on oral tradition
cultural preservation
You should know best...

Priestesses
Guardians of the flame,
sacred vows of purity,
to silent lives constrained.
Chaste in ancient Greece,
virgins bound by duty's chain,
faithful to the peace.
Under the temple's gaze,
Vestal's hearts in shadows dwell,
freedom's distant haze.
Solemn and restrained
lives of the Vestal Virgins
bound by their sacred duties
and so imposed virginity.
sacred vows of purity,
to silent lives constrained.
Chaste in ancient Greece,
virgins bound by duty's chain,
faithful to the peace.
Under the temple's gaze,
Vestal's hearts in shadows dwell,
freedom's distant haze.
Solemn and restrained
lives of the Vestal Virgins
bound by their sacred duties
and so imposed virginity.
