2. 2. A man was an avid gardner... Saw a small butterfly laying a few eggs in one of the pots in his garden since that day he looked at the egg with ever growing curiosity and eagerness. The egg started to move and shake a little. He was exited to see a new life coming up right in front of his eyes. He spent hours watching the egg now. The egg started to expand and develop cracks.. A tiny head and antennae started to come out ever so slowly. The man's excitement knew no bounds he got his magnifying glasses and sat to watch the life and body of a pupa coming out. He saw the struggle of the tender pupa and couldn't resist his urge to HELP. He went and got a tender force to help the egg break, a nip here a nip there to help the struggling life. And LO! The pupa was out the man was ecstatic! He waited now each day for the pupa to grow and fly about like a beautiful butterfly, but Alas that never happened the larvae pupa had a oversized head and kept crawling along in the pot for the full 4 weeks and died! Depressed the man went to his botanist friend and asked the reason. His friend told him the struggle to break out of the egg helps the larvae to send blood to its wings and the head push helps the head to remain small so that the tender wings can support it thru its 4 week life cycle, in his eagerness to help the man destroyed a beautiful life! Struggles help all of us, that's why a wee bit of effort goes a long way to develop our strength to face life's difficulties!

4. 4. My therapist had quite a lot to say When I explained I was unmoved by chocolates and bouquets. What are you looking for in love, she asked, that you cant find? I said, The smell of cordite would brighten up my day. Does he wear his jacket loose to hide the holster? Does he keep his schedule free to cut and run? Im the girl dressed in black in the Lotus Elan And Im looking for a man of action. She says I long to nurture secretly, But sensitive and sweet gives me a case of ennui. See, I want a hero from a Hong Kong action flick With a brand new Smith amp; Wesson and a taste for irony Does his hair smell like the smoke from burning buildings? Does he have a dragon tattoo on his arm? Im the girl on the train with the timer for the bomb And Im looking for a man of action. I could be happy with a man whos built for speed A heat trace like an F-16, a ruthless sense of style Strange clicking on his phone line, scars he cant explain Who never takes the first cab and who doesnt often smile. Afraid Im gonna have to miss our session Hope youve got another patient due to make confession Ill be at the airport in my trench coat and my shades Looking for a long-legged dark-haired indiscretion. Does he drive like hell-hounds know his license number? Does he always sit where he can see the door? Im the girl on the bridge with the bag full of money Im the girl at the stick of the black helicopter And Im looking for a man of action.
