Madonna, Poetry, and Canada

So, Madonna's got this really crappy tune out. It's called 'Music,' which I think is a compleat mis-nomer. I hate it not only because of its utter lack of musical value (My humble opinion, here), but also for the fact that it really made me realise something about Madonna's mad dash to remain atop any current fad: You know when you're sitting on the bus and on steps a forty-five year old woman dressed like a sixteen-year-old? That's Madonna. Still tryin' to be cool....

Uhm, but I wouldn't kick her out of bed for eating small animals...

My friend Z in Cork county sent this to me:

**********

Once upon a time in the Kingdom of Heaven, God went missing for six days. Eventually, Michael the archangel found him, resting on the seventh day. He

inquired of God, "Where have you been?" God sighed a deep sigh of

satisfaction and proudly pointed downwards through the clouds, "Look

Michael, look what I've made."

Archangel Michael looked puzzled and said, "What is it?"

"It's a planet," replied God, "and I've put LIFE on it. I'm going to call it

Earth and it's going to be a great place of balance."

"Balance?" inquired Michael, still confused.

God explained, pointing to different parts of Earth, "For example, Northern

Europe will be a place of great opportunity and wealth while Southern Europe

is going to be poor; the Middle East over there will be a hot spot. Over there I've placed a continent of white people and over there is a continent of black people," God continued, pointing to different countries. "This one will be extremely hot and arid while this one will be very cold and covered in ice."

The Archangel, impressed by Gods work, then pointed to a large land mass in the top corner and asked, "What's that one?"

"Ah," said God. "That's Canada, the most glorious place on Earth. There are beautiful mountains, lakes, rivers, streams and an exquisite coast-line. The people from Canada are going to be modest, intelligent and humorous and they're going to be found travelling the world. They'll be extremely sociable, hard-working and high-achieving, and they will be known throughout the world as diplomats and carriers of peace. I'm also going to give them super-human, undefeatable ice hockey players who will be admired and feared by all who come across them."

Michael gasped in wonder and admiration, but then proclaimed: "But what about balance, God? You said there will be BALANCE!"

God replied wisely. "Wait until you see the loud-mouth bastards I'm putting next to them."

Heh heh heh... I have to admit that this one had me chuckling a bit...

In other news, I am now firmly ensconsed in a plan to get back into publishing my poems. I have a big, fat book of publications, and a book of stamps with which to submit my shite. Wish me luck, all!
