My Very Dearest Sigmund

Neville

My Very Dearest Sigmund

 

Dear Ziggy,

though

never a real fan

and much

less a disciple ..

I now

feel obliged

to confess ..

And to get off

my chest

once and for

all that is ..

My quest for

some kind

of catharsis ..

You see,

I always much

preferred

Hannah who

managed

to massage my

ego and id

so very often

and so

delightfully ..

Over the bows

of her old

Viennese piano ..

    I probably never knew ego and id could be massaged that way! Best not explain it further to me, or I will swoon! heehee.

    • Neville



      If you only probably didn't, then the chances are you never shall ..

      Beautiful, and powerful dear Nev, I have always found people with ego are the ones we should avoid. 🌹

      • Neville



        my metaphorical cup runneth over Teddy .. cheers🍷

        Yer old Sigmond, while decried in some (many?) circles, certainly had a few truths which have more than lingered… so, guilt free, go tickle them ivories…no, ignore the ivories….

          Did you know that there are parts of his model that he declined to name .. I speak the tusk the whole tusk and nothing but the tusk .. so help me gawd .. Neville

            My edification here at MPS continues apace.... I'll never be quite the same again.....

            May your quest be granted Sir N. 😉👍

              ............. Consider it doomed Sir Poet .. N 😎👍

              I'm sure your ego and id were quite refreshed after such a cathartic massage. Good for Hannah, and more so for you. Just wondering what she was playing, Chopin, Mozart? You are the funnest!

              • Neville



                in a world full of charades .. tis good to be so well regarded .. bless you Bella & truly .. Neville

                  That piano obviously played all the notes in the right order Neville.

                  Andy

                  • Neville



                    it helps to have a bunch of pass keys handy Andy .. cheers .. Neville

                    You describe happenstance? Or perhaps inevitability like knowing water finds its path but even that is A v B , knowing or projecting where that landing spot will be ? Or the B side where wonder , faith, and goodwill await that landing spot and greet be surprise. OR IS IT ALL just for taking another shot at Ziggu under some plaudible veiled Device tantamount to shaking a rivals hand in public , smiling and gripping tightly with purpose,? the part that makes you so good is it works in Austin scenarios? You’re the man now you’re the man.

                    • Neville



                      I am near lost for words Bobby O .. truly honoured but unworthy .. Still I now plan on cutting and pasting, or at least copying your kind words & sneaking a peek at them on bum blank days and I swear I won't Neva delete .. Neville

                      I read Sig in High School. The keyboard music definitely more soothing

                      • Neville



                        Cool ... for a micro moment, while you were hovering .. I thought you were referring to Mr. Stardust 🙂
