In West Sussex, England stands St Mary’s Church
in the village of Shipley
built in the 12th century by the Knights Templer
has a graveyard sheep graze in to keep the grass down
it’s filled with bent head stones, chipped from erosion
blackened and grayed from centuries of wear
the writing on the headstones erased, eroded
those lying under them erased as well, forgotten forever.

There are those who steadfastly believe
aliens created us
these are people who are quite knowledgeable
about aliens
years of studying them and the alien abductions
of humans
talking to many alleged abductees
and countless people with experiences
and knowledge of alien lore
even talking to ex governmental officials
they allege told them aliens created us
these people also claim earth is a laboratory for
aliens and we are the experiments
I consider these people experts on extraterrestrials
but I just cannot believe what they believe.

The woman Carl thought was
the woman of his dreams
told Carl he was too nice for her
so Carl turned into an SOB
treated her badly hoping he’d
be bad enough, good enough
for her
but he didn’t make the cut
she saw through his fakeness
and he couldn’t keep treating her
badly
he’s was just too nice a guy
and eventually she went away
found a bona fide bad guy
who treated terribly
they probably lived unhappily
ever after
moral of the story, it’s not worth
trying to change yourself for anyone
don’t waste you time and love
on someone who doesn’t appreciate
you for who you are
and stay away from women who
say you are too nice for them.

I’ve seen many videos on YouTube
about cows attracted to music
violins, guitars, accordings, etc
like following pied pipers when
they hear the music playing
I’ve seen an entire herd of them
rush to where the music was played
and gather round listening like
people at a concert
I was amazed to see cows had
an affinity with notes and bars
I once read “music has charms
to soothe the savage beasts”
it seems it has charms to
soothe cows too.
