Grown-up, or: Don’t say
Hush now, grown-up, don't despair,
God's gonna hear your every prayer.
And if your troubles linger still,
God's gonna work His hidden will.
And if your doubts begin to chafe,
God's gonna keep your spirit safe.
And if the years seem long and late,
God's gonna smile, "Just trust and wait."
And if your road stays hard to tread,
God's got a blessing yet ahead.
And if the wicked win this day,
God's gonna have the final say.
And if these dark and mortal years cease,
God's gonna grant you lasting peace.
And if that peace still seems delayed,
God's got more promises He's made.
W3 poetry prompt
For this week’s W3 prompt, Deanna encourages us to write a poem inspired by a nursery rhyme. We can use a nursery rhyme character, borrow a line from a nursery rhyme, or let a nursery rhyme lead us to a completely new poem.
Let’s write poetry together!
When it comes to partnership, some humans can make their lives alone – it’s possible. But creatively, it’s more like painting: you can’t just use the same colours in every painting. It’s just not an option. You can’t take the same photograph every time and live with art forms with no differences.
–Ben Harper (b. 1969)
Would you like to create poetry with me and have a completed poem of yours featured here at the Skeptic’s Kaddish? I am very excited to have launched the ‘Poetry Partners’ initiative and am looking forward to meeting and creating with you… Check it out!

At one of my #Easter singing gigs, the message used the humble #egg as a symbolic #metaphor. Part of the discourse made reference to a shattering egg and I thought immediately of Humpty Dumpty.
Then I began to wonder why #HumptyDumpty became an anthropomorphic egg when the #MotherGoose nursery rhyme doesn’t mention calcium carbonate ovoids at all. 🤔
And now I will always associate a children’s poem and #entropy and #horses and #men failing to assemble a #puzzle with a Christian festival day. 🥚

Teableau for 11/22/25
...With so many children,
She didn't know what to do.
Once all of those kids Finally moved away,
She got a rat terrier
And enjoyed every day.

Monday's child is fair of face.
Tuesday's child is full of grace.
Wednesday's child is full of woe.
Thursday's child has far to go.
Friday's child is loving and giving.
Saturday's child works hard for a living.
And the child that was born on the Sabbath day is bonnie and blithe and good and gay.
Thinking of Wednesday Adams.
when your goose is cooked
it is never too late to
honk and be happy!

Rennie Ellis caught the Hollywood sign in much rougher shape in 1978.
Jack and Jill went up the hill
To fetch a pail of #gravy.
Jack fell down with eyes of brown,
And Jill ran off to join the navy.

Zitat des Tages:
"Was ist Kinderliteratur? Ist es nicht in ihrer reinsten Essenz eine Welt von alptraumartiger Phantasie und erschütternder Grausamkeit, ohne Sinn und Zweck?"

This nursery rhyme was clearly written by a cat owner:
"Pussy-cat ate the dumplings, the dumplings,
Pussy-cat ate the dumplings.
Mamma stood by, and cried, 'Oh, fie!
Why did you eat the dumplings?'"

“The name’s Mother Goose. ‘Silly Goose’ is my job title.”

Some say the original Mother Goose was the wife of the French king Robert II who was known as "Goose footed Bertha" and was famous for telling children incredible stories.

Some relationship advice from Mother Goose.
“I do not rhyme
All of the time.
That’s just a rumor
Spread by a groomer.
Or maybe a dog
Whose brain’s in a fog.
But what I’m trying to say
Is I don’t talk that way.”
— Mother Goose

“I’m a beautiful cat,
once a beautiful kitty,
and I don’t need two eyes
to see that I’m pretty.”

Musical Interlude: Here's something pleasant and calming. Ravel composed this as a piano duet for two children, using fairy-tale motifs, but later did an orchestrated version, which we are now listening to.
"Ma mère l'Oye (Mother Goose Suite)," composed by Maurice Ravel, performed by the Orchestra of the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields.
Taking the family to the Bristol Hippodrome to see the Mother Goose panto, starring Ian McKellen as the Dame.
Or, as it's known in the US, a crime against the poor defenseless children who will surely come out of the experience traumatised.

On this side of the pond everyone's suddenly terrified of drag queens, while over in the UK Sir Ian "Gandalf" McKellan is touring the UK as Mother Goose.
#MotherGoose was excellent at Sheffield. I hope the cast were having as much fun as they appeared to be. Third time seeing #IanMckellen on stage - I've been very lucky. He really is a legend.
@fulkery1 How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? Or is that a totally different thing? #mothergoose
One misty moisty morning,
When cloudy was the weather,
I chanced to meet an old man,
Clothed all in leather.
He began to compliment
And I began to grin.
How do you do? And how do you do?
And how do you do again?
Starting 2023 off with some rain. The Galiuro Mountains are still just visible across the valley.
Weather like this makes me think of the old Mother goose rhyme:
One misty moisty morning,
When cloudy was the weather...
How very far away this landscape is from the place that produced that rhyme!
Pardon my musings please!
And have a very happy new year!
