1. Shakira "Objection"(Tango) 
It's not her fault that she's so irresistible
But all the damage she's caused isn't fixable
Every twenty seconds you repeat her name
But when it comes to me you don't care
If I'm alive or dead.

Objection I don't wanna be the exception
To get a bit of your attention
I love you for free and I'm not your mother
But you don't even bother
Objection I'm tired of this triangle
Got dizzy dancing tango
I'm falling apart in your hands again
No way I've got to get away

Next to her cheap silicone I look minimal
That's why in front of your eyes I'm invisible
But you gotta know small things also count
You better put your feet on the ground
And see what it's about.

So objection, I don't want to be the exception
To get a bit of your attention
I love you for free and I'm not your mother
But you don't even bother
Attention the angles of this triangle
Got dizzy dancing tango
I'm falling apart in your hands again
No way, no no no no. 

I wish there was a chance for you and me
I wish you couldn't find a place to be
Away from here......

This is pathetic and sardonic
It's sadistic and psychotic
Tango is not for three
Was never meant to be
But you can try it
Rehearse it
Or train like your horse
But don't you count on me
Oh don't you count on me boy

Objection I don't want to be the exception
To get a bit of your attention
I love you for free and I'm not your mother
But you don't even bother
Objection I'm tired of this triangle
Got dizzy dancing tango
I'm falling apart in your hands again
No way I've got to get away.

Get away.. get away hey hey hey get away
Uh huh uh huh hooooooo 
uh huh uh huh... Uh huh oooooo
Oh Im falling apart in Your hands again.
get away hey hey hey.
Im falling apart in your hands again.
Get away...... Get away

3. Sir Walter  Raleigh (1564-1593)

               Her Reply

IF all the world and love were young, 
And truth in every shepherd's tongue, 
These pretty pleasures might me move 
To live with thee and be thy Love. 

But Time drives flocks from field to fold; 
When rivers rage and rocks grow cold; 
And Philomel becometh dumb; 
The rest complains of cares to come. 

The flowers do fade, and wanton fields 
To wayward Winter reckoning yields: 
A honey tongue, a heart of gall, 
Is fancy's spring, but sorrow's fall. 

Thy gowns, thy shoes, thy beds of roses, 
Thy cap, thy kirtle, and thy posies, 
Soon break, soon wither-soon forgotten, 
In folly ripe, in reason rotten. 

Thy belt of straw and ivy-buds, 
Thy coral clasps and amber studs,- 
All these in me no means can move 
To come to thee and be thy Love.  

But could youth last, and love still breed, 
Had joys no date, nor age no need, 
Then these delights my mind might move 
To live with thee and be thy Love. 

4.Quotes and Proverbs: 

 A wise man never knows all, only fools know everything.

Only a fool tests the depth of the water with both feet.

The sun at home warms better than the sun elsewhere.

Don't put gold buttons on a torn coat.

No woman can make a wise man out of a fool, but every woman can change a wise man into a fool.

A dog that barks all the time gets little attention.

5.Anecdot:
Four doctors are discussing who's the best.
 
The British doctor says, "Medicine in my country is so advanced that we can take a kidney out of one man, put it another and have him looking for work in six weeks."
 
The German doctor says, "That's nothing, we can take lung out of one person put it in another and have him looking for work in four weeks."
 
The Russian doctor says, "In my country medicine is so advanced we can take half heart out of one person put it in another and have them both looking for work in two weeks."
 
The American doctor, not to be outdone, says, "You guys are way behind.   We just took a man with no brain out of Texas, put him in the White House, and now half of the country is looking for work and the other half is preparing for war".
