main menu home about post navigation older posts bullying is bad posted on january 24 2021 by robertedahl 4 bullying is bad but is matriarchal bullying any better than patriarchal bullying he once worked for a matriarchal company and was told by female middle management that the difference in different gender led com panies is that male led companies just fire your butt and you are gone yes that fast but female led com panies beat you with a wet noodle till you plead for mercy and then they keep you because they don t want to see you or your family hurt and that is why he kept being told that he was going to be fired and management kept asking if he was going to stay or quit and if he found another job as of yet and finally when he found another job every one sighed in relief posted in uncategorized 4 replies late lake effect out my window a haiku posted on january 24 2021 by robertedahl reply snow arrived today white sheets upon more white sheets jogger walked the path posted in uncategorized leave a reply love and families of origin posted on january 22 2021 by robertedahl reply an escutcheon of his family of origin vanished returned and vanish ed again repeatedly from his study where it periodically hung on a wall it is rumored that he took it down him self because he is so uxorious and didn t wish his wife to think he was showing partiality toward his family of origin actually members of his immediate family including the claus trophobic daughter who was born while his wife was restricted to a accouchement experienced repetitive vertiginous movements because their father kept taking down the escutcheon and then returning it because he was caught between his uxoriousness and pride in his family of origin the daughter wanting des perately to stop spinning placed an escutcheon of her mother s family of origin on the family yacht to go with the one which now hangs permanently in her father s study unfortunately she was so dizzy at the time she attach ed the escutcheon to the bow instead of the stern her mother won t talk to her recently i read a poem with four words apparently thrown in to throw the reader the words simply were listed one right after another and were not incorporated into the body of the poem in any meaningful way well the words threw me so i looked them up and included them in a poem the definitions of those four words follow kudos to those who knew the words 1 escutcheon a a defined area on which armorial bearings are displayed and which usually consists of a shield b a protective or ornamental plate or flange as around a keyhole c the part of a ship s stern on which the name is displayed 2 uxorious a excessively submissive or devoted to one s wife b excessively or foolishly fond of a wife doting on a wife c excessively fond of or submissive to a wife being a dependent husband 3 accouchement a a confinement during childbirth a lying in b delivery in childbed parturition c delivery in childbed 4 vertiginous a turning about an axis revolving or whirling b affected by vertigo dizzy c tending to produce vertigo posted in uncategorized leave a reply and a child shall lead them posted on january 22 2021 by robertedahl 1 some said she was a child mechanic under the hood they said she knew everything that ever needs to be poetically understood and so they put her to the test to see if she knew the answer to any question and all the rest they said kid you are only twenty two you are barely out of childhood what is it you think you can do tell us what s under the hood and so the kid s time had come there are 110 horses under this hood my electric bike has more power only a 110 that s hardly worth the wait come on kid it s the bewitching hour you know this isn t my first trip to the rodeo you haven t seen these horses so here we go and with that she opened the hood and out flew 110 galloping verses and it was then everyone at the inauguration understood two weeks earlier insurrectionists seditionists attempted to take the us capitol by storm and thank goodness they failed amanda gorman s 110 verses actually break lines took that same magnificent capitol by a rich wonderful healing storm her powerful poem is accessible for viewing at the link below read transcript of amanda gorman s inaugural poem a special thanks to james berbiglia us army chaplain lt col retired for sending the link posted in uncategorized 1 reply canadians and an ex new yorker sip wine around a phoenix condo swimming pool posted on january 20 2021 by robertedahl reply they sat around the pool sipping red and white wine the canadian used car salesman lifted a glass aloft twirled and swirled it saying that the wine was ever so fine the female refugee from new york city said sipping may be fine but the bottle needs to be nudged and the wine needs to be guzzed to give me a really quick buzz posted in uncategorized leave a reply i had latin or did latin have me listen up boys and girls posted on january 20 2021 by robertedahl reply i had latin in high school the teacher was glad i lost the election for student council president because i could devote more time to studying latin well veni vidi vici not so much i just came across another latin word ob audire to listen with great attentiveness that sounds good and it is what i should have done in latin class wait a minute that word translates as obedience bummer who likes to be obedient that is what we expect of our pets oh and then in the same meditation there is another latin word surdus deaf and then ab surd us completely deaf absurd who wants that and so if we are obedient to what matters we won t fall into absurdity does that mean that teacher is always right we can only listen with great attentiveness and well then veni vedi vici idea from a meditation by henri nouwen posted in uncategorized leave a reply unable to identify a winter bird two haiku posted on january 19 2021 by robertedahl reply stepping out the door he heard a bird and caught sight in emerging light flapping wings of black stilled to hide in the darkness what song had it sung posted in uncategorized leave a reply this has been going on for far too long posted on january 17 2021 by robertedahl reply we grew up in different worlds in the city when i think about my bucolic privilege i now view it s exclusivity with pity because i walked ran and rode my bike to the park to play without a single cop in sight some would say how fortunate for that for a first generation immigrant kid but that s just a myth in fact yes it kept me from a hard knock life and i m grateful for that but that privilege would lead to godless strife it was called white flight with fear in our hearts we left sometime during the night blacks bought our homes thinking it was step up an escape route but then cops roamed and roamed and kids couldn t venture to the park to run bike hike and play their unprivileged future looking dark so now here we are all these years later we haven t gotten that far in matters of justice peace and a better way but black lives matter and we all have divine dna and we now work toward that god blessed day of equality peace and inclusivity yes for this we pray posted in uncategorized leave a reply fly fishing the north branch of the au sable a triolet posted on january 16 2021 by robertedahl 1 he drew the rod back and snapped it fast between ten and two back and forth will the fly catch brookies he asked he drew the pole back and snapped it fast catch or not the wonder will last use finesse not brute force he drew the pole back and snapped it fast between ten and two back and forth posted in uncategorized 1 reply clear plastic couch covers posted on january 16 2021 by robertedahl 2 i don t think it is a really good thing to grow up in a house with clear plastic covers on the living room soft fabric furniture it just might be psychologically unsettling with questions about parental love it s hard cold and uncomfortable i did and recall looking longingly through the plastic to the beautiful soft fabric beneath that which i could never ever touch if i wanted to take a nap on the couch i would put my socked feet because we always had to take our shoes off at the door on the plastic only to hear my mother tell me to get my feet off the couch i would say mom my soft socks are on the hard cold noisy plastic don t get smart young man we aren t rich and i want the couch to last a long time yes it has all lasted a long time at least the memory i still get chilled just thinking about lying on that couch even in the middle of summer oh i m sorry that s when i slid around and got stuck to the clear cold hard noisy plastic posted in uncategorized 2 replies post navigation older posts dr robert e
