Why do some aspire to be, on the screen of your TV? Doesn’t matter what the reason, they are there in any season. Sounding dumb for questionnaires, speaking proud of their affairs. Competing for a treasured prize, losing weight to half their size. Most move on with no regret, shameless on the Internet. From stupid … Read moreWhat folks will do just to be seen

People come And people Go, now it’s People that I Know. Dying off at Record Pace, reality that’s Tough to Face. Wonder when it’ll Be my Turn, the Time and Place I cannot Spurn. Hope I leave with Grace and Class, and Someone’s left to Mow my Grass.  

Weather is a wonderment, often causing discontent. Changes plans and other things, yet at times pure joy it brings. Forecasts we wait patiently, but the truth is basically, I can often just learn more, yes, by looking out my door.

Comfort in my coffee mug, steaming Java down I chug. Greatest way to start the day, is there any other way? This old mug has been my friend, and will be until the end. Many times its been worth more, than I paid at discount’s store.

Riding in my bucket seats, no where near a bench it beats. Was a time when my old wreck, did me proud in my young trek. Nothing better than a miss, sitting close so we could kiss. Snuggled near and dragging main, keep those memories in my brain.

Some old songs sure take me there, to a time without a care. Before the service drafted me, and innocence began to flee. Remember when my biggest fear, was getting caught just drinking beer.

What’s good today is bad tomorrow, a source for so much grief and sorrow. Coffee, Salt, and mere Popcorn – even Chocolate held some scorn. Spuds and Eggs that once were out, common sense is paramount. When choosing things to polish off, think more a thimble than a trough.  

There are those who stretch the truth, I’ve seen it happen since my youth. Embellish here – enhance it there, evolves until it’s just hot air. I doubt they start it out to be, the end result we come to see. No matter how you slice or cut, a lie will bite you in the … Read moreStretching the Truth
