The Bag Lady

Seeing a photo of Pikes Peak, this was an obvious choice: John Denver with “Rocky Mountain High”

No sleep again as I thrash and complain

Throw off covers to grab them again

Everything bothers, arms, legs–I’m asking why

Like a fish out of water waffling in the dry

Feeling hot, but parts are chilly

How do others rest so willy nilly?

“Well look at it! What’s gonna happen now? He told us never to touch it, and look what’s happened!” Joe and Jack, two enterprising young lads, decided to pack up some items they found in the garage to sell to their friends. A new video game had just come out for sale and they were dying to have it.

Joe thought they could find some possible sale worthy items among their dad’s garage stash, but knew they were forbidden to touch the bike. The bicycle was dads’s baby, and he kept very good care of it. The boys had two old clunker banana seat relics passed down from their dad’s brother.

Jack unwisely decided that the untouchable bike would get them to the park faster and easier, since the basket would hold the sale items. Packing everything up, off they went, not realizing the two of them plus the items would be too much.

Bypassing the road, they started through the woods to the park and ran over something that punctured a tire. Landing on the ground as it suddenly stopped, they realized their mistake. It was only a matter of how much and how long they would be in trouble for this escapade.

She, remaining chaste

Sideways glances saw bad taste

Judgment was her choice

White peaked heights

Against bluest skies

Over red grounds

This movie isn’t for everyone, but I liked the story and enjoyed it. I can’t believe there was only one Oscar handed out to the role played by Nick Nolte. If you watch it, let me know when what you think. “Warrior”, starring Tom Hardy and Joel Edgerton.

I have this affliction and it is a pita for sure! Looking around for a song, my first thought was “Slow Hand” by the Pointer Sisters.

It’s about time to nix

All the injustice–the fix

Seems like it’s always in the mix

Used by a presidential worm

Just makes me want to squirm!

Cold icy waters

Quiet tumble over stones

Embracing the moss

Flow freely now it’s warmer

Spring is welcomed in the brook.
