Kayak

If I had a kayak – I’d put it on my back – along with a full pack – and travel to Nyack – to look for a big shack – to fix me a small snack – it’s true I’m a rhyme hack – and that is a fact Jack!

Enough Already!

Take a pill and watch it swell, so many ads they make me yell. Just tired they are always there, enough to make me want to swear. Not sure if I have all the skin, to match the hype and all the spin. What good is it except to gawk, if after four you call … Read moreEnough Already!

The Penny

Remember the “Penny” when it had some clout, now it’s near worthless – what’s that all about? Used to buy candies in jars from the stores, and other small treasures I’d stuff in my drawers. Now 100 pennies buys little at all, and what you get for them is so very small. It costs more … Read moreThe Penny

Booger Blast

Be it cold or allergies – it’s for certain you will sneeze. Running beak and aching limbs, in pure hell your body swims. Drink your fluids – take those pills, nothing works then comes the chills. Bundled up in layered clothes, no air getting through your nose. Grab those tissues – wad them up, ’round … Read moreBooger Blast

A piece we own of our great earth, means more to us than it is worth. Quite small but thank our lucky stars, because no debt and it’s … Read moreOur Deck

My Own Sanity

There once was a time when I wished life along, racing to win or just to belong? From teen to adult not speedy enough, the waiting, alone, was really quite tough. From Army to jobs caring little about, my purpose in life I really did doubt. I searched and I searched but really in vain, … Read moreMy Own Sanity

Read

There was a time when I hated to read, my mind would wander with blinding speed. Assignments were torture – a poke in the eye, exception for me that Guy in the Rye. Dreaded the books required to pass, and foolish reports as part of the class. Took many a night and morning sun, to … Read moreRead

Just Turned Three

I see her now just turning three, still can sit her on my knee. Pictured in her sandbox now, even there she brings a “Wow!” Won’t be long she’ll be in heels, driving ’round in her own wheels. Time might stop but not for long, wish it would be I’d be wrong. She’ll grow to … Read moreJust Turned Three
