The Sage invents Bingo


Once upon a time, in a land far away,
Lived a wise old Sage, known for his wit and his sway,
He sat and thought until an idea to him came,
And he said aloud, “Why not invent a new game?”



With a spark in his eye and a smile on his face,
He set out to craft a game that was fun and embraced,
He pondered and thought, then he grabbed his quill,
And began to write, the rules of a brand new thrill.



He called it Bingo, a name that was bright,
A game of chance, where luck was the light,
With numbers and letters, and a card to mark,
It quickly became, a game that was hot in the park.



And so The Sage sat, and watched with delight,
As the players shouted “Bingo!” in the warm summer night,
The wise old sage had crafted a game,
That would bring joy and fun, with no one to blame.


The wise old Sage with hair of grey,
Has landed a fabulous new job today,
His wisdom still true, no longer just a Sage,
As a bingo caller, his voice will now engage,



With microphone in hand and a smile on his face,
He takes to the stage with a new found grace,
He calls out the numbers like a seasoned bard,
That players can’t help but respond and mark their card.



“B-7, N-35, and I-26,” he’ll say,
And players will shout, “That’s my lucky day!”
With every call, his reputation will grow,
And soon, he’ll be the best bingo caller you know!



So let’s give a cheer, for this wise old Sage,
And wish him all the luck that he will engage,
In this new career, he will never waver,
He’ll bring joy and fun for us all to savour!

Thought of the Day: Murder

Left handed people are less likely to get away with murder.

Oh, but it is not true that left-handed people are less likely to get away with murder! There is no scientific evidence to support the idea that left-handed people are more likely to commit crimes or be caught for them.

In fact, handedness has no significant correlation with criminality or criminal behavior. It is a common myth that left-handedness is associated with negative personality traits or criminal tendencies, but this is not supported by scientific research.

Handedness is a biological trait that is determined by genetic and environmental factors, and it is estimated that about 10% of the population is left-handed. Left-handed people are just as capable of committing or avoiding crimes as right-handed people, and any claims to the contrary are unfounded.

It is possible that the direction of a stab could be established based on the wound pattern and the handedness of the assailant. If the stab wound is angled in a particular direction, it may suggest that the assailant was left-handed or right-handed.

However, this does not necessarily mean that the number of suspects can be cut down. It is possible that more than one left-handed suspect could be involved, or that the wound pattern could be influenced by other factors, such as the position of the victim or the angle of the knife.

In any murder investigation, the police and forensic experts will consider a wide range of evidence and factors to identify and eliminate potential suspects, including physical evidence, witness testimony, and motive. The handedness of the assailant may be one factor among many, but it is unlikely to be the sole or decisive factor in identifying a suspect.

Advice of the Day: Bad Grades

When you get a bad grade in school, show it to your mom when she’s on the phone.

Showing a bad grade to your mom while she is on the phone might not be the most effective way to communicate about your academic struggles, as she might be preoccupied with her phone conversation and not able to give you her full attention. It is better to wait until she is available and can give you her undivided attention, and then discuss the grade with her in a calm and respectful manner. Together, you can come up with a plan to improve your grades and work towards achieving your academic goals. But, hey, we all like to try to get away with not getting a telling-off!

The Sage and the Polar Bear

There once was a wise old Sage
Whose wisdom knew no age
He roamed the land, so free and wild
His knowledge great, his nature mild



One day, he met a polar bear
Whose strength, he couldn’t compare
The bear challenged him to a race
Across the ice, at a rapid pace



The Sage smiled and took the bet
He knew he’d give his best yet
With his steps so light and quick
He set off on the icy slick



The polar bear, so strong and fast
Was sure to be the first to last
But The Sage, he had a plan
He used his wit, and his mind ran



With his mind so sharp, and heart so true
He knew just what he had to do
He found shortcuts, and took the lead
The polar bear, he couldn’t succeed



In the end, The Sage won the race
The polar bear, just couldn’t keep pace
So let us learn from this wise Sage
With knowledge and wit, will always engage.
