My eyes lit up
when I espied,
these local beauties,
said the ubiquitous fellow.

Most of us red blooded freedom loving Americans hate to take a vacation, not because we are fun-averse, but because when we come back to the Job, we have to work doubly hard to catch up with all the unfinished bizness we left behind.  I should know, having just returned from a three week road trip cross country to find all the backlog waiting open jawed. Read more 

High was the flame,
as it leapt through the grill.
I sucked on a beer
and guzzled it like swill

Up the old river,
aboard a canoe.
Don't just sit there
you must paddle too.

When it is time.
there are no more rays,
nor will it matter,
the number of days,
left in this sad life, ours.
Should have spent more money
on the flashiest of cars.

I turned on the faucet
until the water was hot,
soaking my hands,
for arthritis I've got.

Puzzles puzzle me,
no matter the type,
to answer questions,
to fill in the blanks.
We do all of this
with no gratitude or thanks.

A Lack of truth,
in our World today,
brings on the need
to begin the play
of words and acts
to set the stage
for one another.
Don't ask.me
I'm not your Mother

What light gleams
on a cloudy day?
Oh, it's the Sun,
hip, hip, hooray.

I see your face
and then a smile,
giving me a feeling
of your unique style.
A smile, gracious, I am
just a little smitten
by the lovely Bulgarian.

Flowers abloom,
they're everywhere
and when I sneeze,
pollens in the air.

When the last glass is emptied
And I am on the barroom floor,
pick me up by the scruff of my neck
And don't let me drink, no more.
