NATURE V NURTURE ๐Ÿงก ANGELA & BRIAN ๐Ÿ’œ AN ACROSTIC 6 1 7 SONNET

ANGELA & BRIAN



AS ADULTS WE ARE ALL SHAPED BY BOTH OUR GENES & ENVIRONMENT

 

N ATURE ~ It seems depends on our GENES

A PTITUDES got from your MUM & your DAD

T HE way that we look ~ things that make us Spook

U NUSUAL things make us sad ~ make us Glad

R EMEMBER we cant pick our MUM or our DAD

ACH if us suffers ~ if our folks are BAD ! If nothing is

 

V ENTURED ~ nothing is GAINED ! Life deals us unequal strokes

 

N OUGHT left to chance ~ so please compete ~ with all other Blokes

U NEQUAL Genetics ~ Unequal in Life

R E*LISE MEN can change their FATE ~ if they Marry a WIFE !

T RUE opportunities ~ despite Trouble & Strife !

U PSET your CRITICS ~ amp-lif-y your LIFE

R EALISE you*re unique ~ so please aim for the TOP

E X-ER-CISE your output ~ and dont STOP til you DROP

 

Thanks for visiting ~ comments welcome ~ LOVE A & B ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿงก

 

I have chosen ELVIS because he was born @ the right time

1935 and moved to the right place Memphis Tennessee ! His

Parents were POOR (visit his Birthplace in Tupulo Mississippi)

but he was blessed with a Film Star Profile and an amazing

VOICE 2.5 Octave Range ! He could sing everything & did !

He earns much more DEAD than most of us do ALIVE ! He 

made lots of mistakes ~ Wrong Manager ~ Wrong Crowd ~

Bad Diet & too many Prescription Drugs. He died of Heart

Failure & Polypharmacy @ 42 (1977)  mourned by a World

of Teenagers & adoring Adult Fans. Hes still as popular TODAY.

NATURE dealt Him a GOOD HAND ~ NURTURE killed HIM !

    I'll be dead then. Will I do more than now? I might be dead now, in fact. Eh?! Fido says - enough of my talking rubbish! heehee. I know a guy who collects all Elvis stuff. They call him Elvis, but he looks nothing like him. Doh!

  • ANGELA & BRIAN

    ANGELA HERE - HI UNCLE STEVE ! We*ll all be DEAD sometime - so we have to CARPE DIEM while we have some time left ! I know ELVIS fanatics and also some who make a good living as ELVIS IMPERSONATORS ! There are 1000s of Elvis Impersonators in the WORLD ~ The first one started in 1954 when ELVIS was only 19 ! ELVIS would have been 84 had he lived ! Tony Bennet is 93 and still does about 100 concerts per year in the USA !

    Thanks for all your advice !
    Blessings to You & Your Dopey Dog !
    Love in the SPIRIT A & B ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿงก

      Erm, by the time I found out want Carpe Diem meant, I had not much day left to seize! Doh! Such is life. Well, this 'Elvis' goes to church. One suggested having a word with him, in case he makes it into idolatry - Whoops! But seriously, no point in making a dead hero into the main focus of our life - not that this 'Elvis' does so.

        Thnaks MICHEAL ~ We are well aware thet our style of poetry is itual etc for some ~ BUT as you know it is all from our HEARTS as you know ! We are used to criticism in our JOBS ~ Angela ~ For using ACUPUNCTURE and ME ~ for being a Prophet of Doom in respect of Global Warming ! We are always gracious to our CRITICS ! We will of course keep on POSTING ~ POSITIVES must always prevail over NEGATIVES ~ AMEN !

        Peace & Joy to YOU & YOURS
        Love ANGELA & BRIAN ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿงก

        • ANGELA & BRIAN

          HI MICHAEL ~ We omitted to say our style of POETRY is TOO Juvenile ~ Acrostic ~ Concrete & Scientific (deals with facts & not fantasies) & too openly Spiritual for some ! This seems to invite criticism ~ but we ignore it ! Working in the Field of Science we ar both very used to criticism.

          Blessings & Peace to you & yours
          Love ANGELA & BRIAN ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿงก

          Great job on this Angela and Brian! Wonderful. God bless!

          • ANGELA & BRIAN

            Gracias Christina ~ con muchos apreciacion ! It is a very intersting subject and I am sure you can see a bit of both your natures in your lovely CHILDREN ~ aint GENES wonderful ! We are praying your muse will move soon ~ but in your own time ~ OK ! We thought ELVIS was a good example of the effects of NATURE & NURTURE did you ?

            Abrazos y Besos por Todos
            Con Amor Angela y Brian

            First rate acrostic dear duo and as for the number -a fave of mine - - what a voice .............. our genes are something we cannot alter.

            • ANGELA & BRIAN

              Thanks for your comment FAY ~ Pleased you enjoyed it ! Rhyming acrostics take a lot of fine tuning but easier when theres two of you ! MY WAY is more associated with SINATRA but we love the Elvis Version and personally we feel HE is a good illustration of NATURE & NURTURE. Born with incredible good looks and a perfect voice (850 tracks each one perfect) but the pressures of Fame & Society caused his premature DEATH @ just 42. I feel that like John Lennon ~ Jime Reeves ~ Buddy Holly ~ Nat King Cole and Patsy Cline etc ~ Elvis had much more to give ! He would have been 85 in January ! Tony Bennett 93 is still singing as good as ever in the USA ~ AWESOME !

              We are the product of our GENES forever !
              Blessings & Peace & Joy

              U PSETย your CRITICS ~ amp-lif-y your Life. Bam what a line, this is a very delicate subject and will forever swing one way then the other.

              You did well to stay around the middle but each to the own and I feel we will always need to nurture our nature ๐Ÿ˜‰

              Great stuff!

              • ANGELA & BRIAN

                THANKS DAN for your positive response. We are all born with latent tallents in Intelligence ~ Sport ~ Music etc and our Family ~ School ~ Community & Employmnet etc give us a chance to develop ! As you say it is to our advantage to to sieze these opportunitie and NURTURE our NATURAL GIFTS !

                Peace & Joy
                Yours A & B ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿงก
