Join marching band!
It’ll be fun they said
People will cheer and applaud they said.
The bass a good choice if you’re a big guy,
but a small girl? Ask her why
She chose percussion
And hear her discussion…
Be prepared, she’s a talker!

Can You Tell A Story In…
He started the day with “honey…”
Knew what was next… “bunny”
Speaking this way
He starts every day
And I really don’t think it’s funny.

A man I once knew a few years ago
Remarked he thought I was slow
“I thought you loved me, liked it that way”
Next thing I knew he was walking away
I guess if you think hard enough you realize

“Oh well” I replied, “at least I’m no longer slow!”

Listening to nature was also a dream, after being in pain, in a colorless room, laying in a white sheeted bed, a long time, too long, and she dreamed of just this setting, and now here she was. Finally she was in a painless rest.

A well known wise man once remarked
Get educated! It will spark
A brain that was kept in the dark
He was only trying to shine a light.

A doltish man eschewed wisdom
Thought only he should rule kingdoms
Begged on others for his income
Lost support with his arrogance.

Jim Croce sang it best I think, “if I could put time in a bottle”…how many of us have wished that at one time? Or many? Personally I can think of many now, but a few months ago I was asked if I could relive one moment from my past what would it be? I answered none. That’s the mood I’ve been in the last few months. Not really a bad mood but not my usual funny self. I think my humor is drifting to the dark side…ooooo! Here is the man himself:

Vitality shows in not only the ability to persist but the ability to start over

One-Liner Wednesday – Am I the only one?
Super highway
Colors whiz by
Fuel endless
Radio blaring
No passengers
The trip of a lifetime
Or
My lifetime trip.

Smouldering
Steam rises from the sidewalk
Children bask in water
Fireplug sprays cool
Dance in waters
Heat relief

Quatrain (4 lines, ABAB)
sunset colors glow
moonbeams lose sharpness
flowers bowing low
midsummer darkness

Shardoma (3,5,3,3,7,5)
humming drone
cutting the grass time
lawn duty
teenage job
sit back and enjoy wafting
soft new mown grass scent
