Those who are dull and those with quick wit
Those who are sickly and those who are fit,
A delicate fabric is uniquely knit.
Some are quiet and slow to be seen
I think of soft spoken willowy Kathleen
with her desire for an interactive community scene
everyone supporting; young and old and in between.
The speed of life today is enough to make her scream,
Where people don’t think about people, just “keeping up” is the theme.
Survival through technology has become supreme
Kathleen favours a more holistic regime.
A place where people serve one another
and don’t keep up with the Jones’ to be a mother
and certainly don’t take unfair advantage of a brother,
Or allow fast food and the fast life to smother.
To this end she encouraged those she knew
a community mind to imbue
with markets and meetings and good virtue
a simple life for herself and hers, she does ensue.
Here again, alternative medicine she will seek
instead of something quick and chic
and get back to basics, so to speak.
She is tough, saucy, determined, yet somehow meek
as a compassionate vegetarian she seldom eats meat
yet interesting food she gives all to eat.
Every blogs, a new innovation she brings to heat
Without her imagination, a logs meet would not be complete
In fact each occasion gives her a chance
To invite us to take cognisance
of getting back to basics, with it’s nuance
And of making us go backwards, so that we can advance.
