On a media article and two new joke/poems
On Bruce Willis (from MarketWatch)
“Willis, well known for his roles in movies like ‘Die Hard,’ ‘The Fifth Element’ and ’12 Monkeys,’ was diagnosed with aphasia, a cognitive disorder that affects a person’s ability to speak, write or understand language. The 67-year-old actor rose to fame in the ’80s as a co-star with Cybill Shepherd of the TV series ‘Moonlighting.’”
A few thoughts. I have always been impressed by actors’ ability to remember lots of dialogue, so it is understandable that someone losing facility with language would quit acting. (and almost no one wants to be a mime. Haha). I like Willis as an actor because he has been good at action, also could be funny, and smirk without being annoying.
The other is almost everyone has memory problems by his age. My own problem is mainly short-term and especially the organizational problem of where I have placed things. Acting never appealed to me because, after 13, I had problems with both memorization and stage fright.
“Pop” by yours truly
“Jalapeno poppers.”
“Yes, peppers are good for you,
But your jokes are still floppers.”
“Jalapenos have fallen on the ground:
Call the moppers.
Or someone may call coppers.”
“Windows” by yours truly
Computer windows.
Please no more dates with hos.
Heaven knows.
Comes and goes.
Violent throes,
Regain repose.
