You Are The Old, Father William

You are old, father William,” the young man said,
“And your hair has become very white;
And yet you incessantly stand on your head;

Do you think, at your age, it is right?”

“In my youth,” father William replied to his son,
“I feared it would injure the brain;
But now that I’m perfectly sure I have none,
Why, I do it again and again.”

“You are old,” said the youth, “as I mentioned before,
And have grown most uncommonly fat;
Yet you turned a back-somersault in at the door

Pray, what is the reason of that?”

“In my youth,” said the sage, as he shook his grey locks,
“I kept all my limbs very supple
By the use of this ointment ; one shilling the box;

Allow me to sell you a couple.”

“You are old,” said the youth, “and your jaws are too weak
For anything tougher than suet;
Yet you finished the goose, with the bones and the beak;

Pray, how did you manage to do it?”

“In my youth,” said his father, “I took to the law,
And argued each case with my wife

And the muscular strength, which it gave to my jaw,
Has lasted the rest of my life.”"You are old,” said the youth; one would hardly suppose
That your eye was as steady as ever;
Yet you balanced an eel on the end of your nose;

What made you so awfully clever?”

“I have answered three questions, and that is enough,”
Said his father; “don’t give yourself airs!
Do you think I can listen all day to such stuff?
Be off, or I’ll kick you down stairs!”

The Little Black Boy

My mother bore me in the southern wild,
And I am black, but O my soul is white!
White as an angel is the English child,
But I am black, as if bereaved of light.
My mother taught me underneath a tree,
And, sitting down before the heat of day,
She took me on her lap and kissed me,
And, pointing to the East, began to say:
‘Look on the rising sun: there God does live,
And gives His light, and gives His heat away,
And flowers and trees and beasts and men receive
Comfort in morning, joy in the noonday.
‘And we are put on earth a little space,
That we may learn to bear the beams of love;
And these black bodies and this sunburnt face
Are but a cloud, and like a shady grove.
‘For, when our souls have learned the heat to bear,
The cloud will vanish, we shall hear His voice,
Saying, “Come out from the grove, my love and care,
And round my golden tent like lambs rejoice.”‘
Thus did my mother say, and kissed me,
And thus I say to little English boy.
When I from black, and he from white cloud free,
And round the tent of God like lambs we joy,
I’ll shade him from the heat till he can bear
To lean in joy upon our Father’s knee;
And then I’ll stand and stroke his silver hair,
And be like him, and he will then love me

Do Re Mi Fa Sol La Si Do

8 Tangga Nada yang mulainya di Do rendah dan berakhir di Do tinggi..

Menurut gue (yang masih awan didunia musik) bermakna tentang lika liku hidup..

Berawal dari yang rendah jika kita berusaha menaiki tangga yang tinggi maka akan sampailah kita pada hidup yang KAYA!

Gue pun kalo belajar vokal untuk mencapai Do tinggi ada usahanya, usahanya yaa suaranya agak teriak (suara gue mezzosopran) tapi hasilnya enggak pernah bagus *mungkin emang harus stak dimezzo*

Do rendah…

Awal hidup atau langkah ketika saya bukan manusia spesial (martabak kali) dan masih merangkak

Re..

Saya bisa berjalan! ibarat balita yang lagi lucu lucunya saya bisa menghasilkan sesuatu yang saya pelajari

Mi..

Saya berlari…lariiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii… dan saya mulai mendapatkan sedikit dari apa yang saya kejar dan terus menjadi bukit

Fa.. Sol..

Ketika ditengah perjalanan saya berlari saya pun diterjang tornado DAHSYAT! Menangis pun saya lakukan, dan rupanya Sang Maha Pencipta ingin kita bersyukur dan terus berlari

La..

Ketika tornado usai saya memutuskan untuk berjalan saja, santai. Saya lelah berlari saya ingin bernapas. Saya berjalan

Si..

Ketika berjalan ada setitik pencerahan dan ternyata itu diaaaaaa!!!!! saya berlari lagi

Do..

Alhamdulillah saya sampai ditempat puncak tertinggi yang saya impikan!

Sekian dari tulisan kotor saya..

Katy Perry-Part Of Me

Days like this I want to drive away
Pack my bags and watch your shadow fade
You chewed me up and spit me out
Like I was poison in your mouth
You took my light, you drained me down
But that was then and this is now
Now look at me

[Chorus:]
This is the part of me
That you’re never gonna ever take away from me, no
This is the part of me
That you’re never gonna ever take away from me, no
Throw your sticks and your stones, throw your bombs and your blows
But you’re not gonna break my soul
This is the part of me
That you’re never gonna ever take away from me, no

I just wanna throw my phone away
Find out who is really there for me
You ripped me off your love was cheap
Was always tearing at the seams
I fell deep, you let me down
But that was then and this is now
Now look at me

[Chorus]

Now look at me I’m sparkling
A firework, a dancing flame
You won’t ever put me out again
I’m glowin’ oh whoa
So you can keep the diamond ring
It don’t mean nothing anyway
In fact you can keep everything yeah, yeah
Except for me

[Chorus]

This is the part of me
No
Away from me
No
This is the part of me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me…
No
Throw your sticks and your stones, throw your bombs and your blows
But you’re not gonna break my soul
This is the part of me
That you’re never gonna ever take away from me, no

The Featest Cyclist

There was a loud cheer. A big group of boys were standing in a circle, watching another boy cycle round and round. The boy was Henry. One of featest cyclist in school. He was in a contest against James, another good cyclist. The contest was to see who was the faster between them. Each boy was given five minutes to do as many turns round a circle as he could. James had done twenty-two turns. “Come on, Henry ! Come on! “the boys shouted. “Yes, Henry ! You can do it ! “his friend, Simon, called. Yes, there were still a few seconds left. Henry had already done twenty-two rounds. Now he be dalled very fast and completed another round, just as the five minutes were up. He had beaten James, twenty-two rounds by one. “Well done !” all the boys, including James, yelled. That was what Henry liked. No matter who won or lost, his friends were nice about it. That was the way all sportsman should behave.

Then suddenly Henry noticed one boy staring at him. He was Benny, a new comes to the school. “Your cycling is all right, “Benny said”. “But I’m sure I can beat your twenty-three rounds”. Henry’s friends stared back at Benny. You see, they knew he was a boaster. His own bicycle was the best in the world, and so were all his other belongings. Everyone was tired of Benny’s boasting, including Henry. “Well, Benny , if you think you can beat me, why don’t we have a contest ?” he said. “I’ll see you in two days time”. Then he walked off. “I hope you teach him a good lesson”, Simon said. “He needs one”.

Henry decide to have a good rest the day before the contest so that he would feel fit. However on that day he had some bad luck. As he was coming down the stair. Case in his house, he slipped and fell. He bruised his knees. So badly that he was limping. At school the next day his friends looked worriedly at him. “Do you think should race?” they asked. “You can put off the contest”. “No”, said Henry. “If I do that, Benny will think I’m afraid to race against him. I’ll be all right”.

After school the boys gathered in the field at the back of their classrooms. There was a big crowed, all eager to see who would win. Benny cycled first.

The boys watched in silence as he went round and round the big circle. He was good, better than they had expected. Some of them began to wonder if Henry, with his bruised knees, could beat him. In five minutes Benny completed twenty four rounds !

Henry looked very serious as he jumped on his bicycle. He had a difficult ride ahead oh him. But he wanted to teach Benny a lesson. At first his knees hurt a lot. But soon he didn’t seem to feel the pain any more. All he thought about was beating Benny. And do you know something ? He cycled twenty-four rounds and still had thirty seconds left. His friends cheered loudly as he finished off with twenty-five rounds ! He had beaten Benny, even though his knees were hurt. From then on Benny never boasted again. And Henry and his friends began to like him better for that.
