Una parabola d'amore's Journal (original) (raw)

the OLD nursery rythmes; were maybe best.

Old Mother Hubbard went to the cupboard,
To fetch her poor dog a bone.
But when she got there, her cupboard was bare,
so then the poor dog had none.
She went to the baker's to buy him some bread;
When she got back, the poor dog was dead.
She went to the joiner's to buy him a coffin;
When she got back, the dog was a-laughing.
She took a clean dish to get him some tripe;
When she came back, he was smoking a pipe.
She went to the out-house to get him some beer;
When she came back, the dog sat in a chair.
She went to the fruiter's to buy him some fruit;
When she came back, he was playing the flute.
She went to the tailor's to buy him a coat;
When she came back, he was riding a goat.
She went to the hatter's to buy him a hat;
When she came back, he was feeding the cat.
She went to the barber's to buy him a wig;
When she came back, he was dancing a jig.
She went to the cobbler's to buy him some shoes;
When she came back, he was reading the news.
She went to the seamstress to buy him some linen;
When she came back, the dog was a-spinning.
She went to the hosier's to buy him some hose;
When she came back, he was dressed in his clothes.
The dame made a curtsy, the dog made a bow;
The dame said, "Your servant," the dog said, "Bow-wow."

This is an old joke:

Old Mother Hubbard went to the cupboard,
To get her poor daughter a dress.
When she got there, her cupboard was bare,
And so was her daughter, I guess.
Another version:

Old Mother Hubbard sat in her cubbard,
Eating Jack's Christmas pie;
He opened the door
Gave a furious roar,
And blackened Mother Hubbard's right eye.
An off-color variation:

Old Mother Hubbard went to the cupboard,
To get her old dog a bone.
She bent over, Rover took over!
She got a bone of her own.

My Brand New Version

Young Mother Hubbard went to the cupboard,
To fetch her dear husband a snack,
But when she got there the cupboard was bare,
He claimed that he did not know jack,
A Thief came in the night,
And stole all their money,
All of a sudden nothing was funny,

The fought and they argued to no avail,
They hed out to sea with a colourful sail,
They look for a land where jack lives no more,
Where he is not a serpent and she is no whore,
They found a beach on a far away land,
They took a stroll hand in hand,
The rest is a tale for a man with no sail just love and it was divine.

Dear friends,

Friday the 13th is back!

On 13th October 2006 it's a Friday.

Do you know some interesting facts about Friday the 13th?

Here they are:

Paraskevidekatriaphobics is the phenomenon, which describes those afflicted with a morbid fear of Friday the 13th.
The Turks so disliked the number 13 that it was practically expunged from their vocabulary
Many cities do not have a 13th Street or a 13th Avenue.
Many buildings don't have a 13th floor.
Hotels do not have room number 13.
Even the opera houses in Italy avoid this number.

These facts clearly indicate that the myth of Friday the 13th is worldwide.

The reason why this myth developed is because it is generally associated with the fate of Jesus as the 13th guest among his 12 apostles in the Biblical account of the Last Supper. The Bible tells us that one of the dinner guests, apostles went on to betray Jesus Christ, setting the stage for the crucifixion of Jesus on the next day-a Friday! It was, for many years, designated the day for capital punishment and informally referred to as "hangman's day." At some places it is also believed that it was Friday the 13th when Eve tempted Adam with the forbidden fruit.

Numerology can surely give a clear and correct answer to this problem. In Numerology every number has a particular meaning. These meanings have been adopted from the Egyptian pyramids. On the pyramids some pictures are engraved and they denote some numbers.

On the pyramids in Egypt, there is a picture of the number 13, named 'LA MUERTE' which symbolises 'Death'. In the picture there is a skeleton with scythe (death) reaping down men, and a crowned head of a man fallen at the point of the scythe. At its back, is a female head with flowing hair parted in the centre.

This is a symbol of the conception of realisation. Most people believe that this indicates death, transmutation, deception, destruction, hope, faith and rebirth.

But here is the point where the mistake arises. People have not understood the hidden meaning of the picture. They just deciphered what was visible and failed to understand the symbolic meaning. After my analysis and experience of more than 3 decades, I concluded that this number is not at all lucky. The skeleton with scythe signifies that man has to multiply his efforts during this period and if he tends to be lethargic, then his failure is certain. But if he faces the adversities with confidence and courage then his success is 100% sure.

It was believed that number 13 was very auspicious for Ex- Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpaayee but this time even the election results declared on 13th did not yield any positive result for Mr. Vajpayee. I do not want to discuss politics here but just want to make my readers clear that number 13 is an uncertain number. One never knows how it might work the next time. But this does not mean it is inauspicious. It might be lucky at times and might work against the next time.

A week ago, a businessman contacted me and told that his brother experienced the negativity of number 13. He prospered in his roadways business and purchased one truck after another, but the moment he purchased the 13th one, his degradation started.

And a few days ago I met a senior manager of HDFC Bank who told me that number 13 has been very lucky in his life. This number has brought huge gains to him.

By now the readers must have become familiar that 13 is lucky for one and unlucky for another. The Number 13 signifies a change, and the change can be positive as well as negative. And please don't develop any myth that a child born on Friday the 13th is jinxed, because in my personal experience there is a reporter in a leading newspaper, which has immense potentials and I forsee him as a senior executive in the editorial section in future.

It is not that the number 13 is considered unlucky everywhere. In the Indian pantheon there are 13 Buddhas, 13 mystical discs surrounding the Indian and Chinese pagodas, 13 snake Gods of the Mexicans.

So, I request everyone to remove this myth of yours and still if there is any confusion, do get in touch with me and you will surely have your doubt cleared.

Hope you enjoy the article and feel free to put your queries / feedbacks on the same here.

BUT THEN WHO LIKES THE FRENCH? THE ENGLISH REFEREE CHEATED IRELAND FROM VICTORY.
