Sea

I hear the sea
It's calling me
Visions of deep blue water
Maybe that's where I should be

Elly May

Elly Mae
Not enough words
We can say
She from back in da day

Those hard biscuits used as ammo
Hid in da trees
With her double barrel sling shot
Elly would shoot at me

Elly had a cousin
Jethro Bodine was his name
Being a double naught spy
Was his claim to fame

Then there was Granny
Cooked them vittles
Made her potions
Granny had possum in her kettles

Old Uncle Jed
From the hills of Tennessee
Struck that black gold
Move them all to hills of Beverly

The cement pond
Ghosts in the walls
Neighbors Drysdales and Miss Jane
I sure miss them all

Jack and Jill

Jack and Jill
They climbed that hill
Jack had a plan
So did Jill

Jill had a gun
A 357 mag
Oh that bad Jill
She had took some pills

Poor ole Jack
Know what Jill did
Shot Jack in the back
Just for a thrill

Well Jack died
Jill didn't even cry
She was found guilty of murder one
Now poor ole Jill they did fry

Moral of story
I don't have one
I wrote this
Just for fun

We grew up

November 1963
I remember the day
Man named JFK
They blew him away

A Friday I was 11
About 2 pm in the day
Principal came on loud speaker
This is what he had to say

The place was Texas
Dallas was the town
Things we heard made us frown
Since that time US been going down

Innocence was lost
End of Camelot
We grew up
We learned alot

57 Chevy

57 Chevy
Oh so cool
Always wanted one
They make me drool

57 Chevy
They where great
Make mine a 4 speed
With a big V8

Life

Life is precious
Life is so short
Life so dear
Life we do abort

Little babies in the womb
Little souls growing strong
Little babies never a chance had
Little babies did nothing wrong

Grandma Grandpa past their day
Grandma Grandpa they raised us
Grandma Grandpa we should honour
Grandma Grandpa we put them away

People we kill
People we cheat
People we hate
People our life's are bleak

Come a day we repent
Come a day Jesus will be back
Come a day we will answer
Come a day we resent

Those dead eyes

Those dead eyes
That blank stare
When you have it
It's more than I can bare

That no speaking
That quiet house
When you do it
Feels like fire I've been doused

The slamming of the door
The room does shake
When you leave
It's more than I can take

When you lie
It does hurt
I won't worry
Cause I did try

Born down here

Born down here
Hold it against me
Got my ways
Don't miss them days

Born down here
Got my way of talking
Have a way of thinking
Don't like it start walking

Born down here
I love everyone
Not like some of you
Down here way it's done

Born down here
Got my customs
Got my past
Them things didn't last

Born down here
Time we change
We could do better
Right here in LaGrange

Blame

I hear them cry
Some of them die
It's a shame
Who is the blame

Didn't anyone care
No love to share
Was it so hard
Why couldn't you be there

What goes around
It comes around
That's what they say
Worry about judgement day

Free

I look around and see
People in drama
I'm so glad it's not me
Really I'm not doing bad
Worse times could be had
No one to hassle me
I like just being free
Out of sight
Out of mind
Thank you very much
I'm doing just fine

I bet

Here I lay
On this day
Nothing to say
Need to pray

Thinking of you
Nothing else do
Things that true
Not getting blue

Not trying forget
Nothing to regret
Will not fret
This I bet

Bridges

Bridge over troubled waters
Burning your bridges
Bridges way up high
Bridges that swing
Bridges that touch the sky
Bridges over deep water
Bridges scare me

My friend and me

That time of day

Almost night

All is good

I can have my say

Peace comes to me

Life as I want it

Way it should be

Wish it would stay

Now free to think

Write what on mind

Quiet way I like

Wish this way all time

Not missing anything

Where I should be

This is for us

My friend and me

Done and over

Things in brain
Can cause pain
Memories of past
Things didn't last

Wish could forget
Those things regret
Need to change
Lose that pain

No use crying
Done and over
Just keep living
Don't quit trying

Change

First day fall
Start new season
Time to reflect
Time to redirect

Warm days
Cool nights
Leaves changing
Beautiful sight

Change here
It will happen
No use fight
Try as you might

Chosen few

Momma and Daddy worked in the mills
My belly always filled
Never went barefooted unless I wanted
Never was I taunted
Lint heads we where called
Some sure had gall
Poor but proud
Never boasting or loud
I had love and a name
My only claim to fame
Poor and never knew
Maybe we where the chosen few

Blast from the past

Blast from the past.My cousin Gail sent me this photo.I never had seen it before.I'm the dorky kid in the middle with Momma and Daddy.I must have been about 13 or so.This was taken at the old home place at East Newnan,Georgia.Many a summer night was spent  camping out in this backyard.My best friend Doug lived next door and that was a fun time in my life.On the left you can see the start of a tree house.The year was most likely 1965.What a time !

Sun's rays

I'm not supposed to feel this way

At times hard to face a new day

My eyes are blinded

By the sun's rays

I do know better

But it's the real me

I keep sliding back

Never will I be really free

Put on a show

Try to act

Let no one know

That you're ready to crack

Smile even if fake

Do what's expected

Try to please

Even if it's all you can take

Sometimes

Sometimes I forget

Life's been a trip

Sometimes been fine

Met some who where kind

Sometimes I want to forget

Things that where bad

All them things that sad

Those times had

If I do forget

You always remember

This is true

I did love you

God call home

Mom and Dad

They are gone

Here I am

All alone

Will come time

To gather again

Wait till then

All be fine

God call home

A family again

No more tears

No more pain

Try to forget

Visions of places past

Memories that didn't last

Another time

Another place

Life once had

Try to forget

All those regrets

Come home they saying

Pines swaying

They waving

Come home they saying

There wish I staying

Fly

Birds in the sky

Way up high

Sometimes wish

I could fly

One extreme follows another

Laying here at night with the big window open is nice.I like it.AC is off and the cool fallish air blowing on my face feels great.The night sounds I like also.Cars and big trucks on US 29 and last night I noticed something never heard before.Crows fussing about something.They where upset or maybe just enjoying the weather.Mornings they are the first things I notice but never have I heard them late at night before.

Days are still warm but these nice nights I can live with.The trees are starting to change now.They have that dull green and brown look to them.

Winter skipped Georgia last year it was so mild.I have always heard one extreme follows another.So if that is true maybe this is going to be a cold winter for Georgia.That's ok and maybe throw in some snow also.That would be different and enjoyed.

Beautiful day

Cool fall morn

Crows they cay

Sky so blue

A beautiful day

Pine trees sway

No sound heard

Everything being still

A beautiful day

Day is over

Day is over

Did I do my best

Did I try

Did I just get by

Did I smile

Did a kind word say

Did I help anyone

Did I make their day

Sleep

Sleep wasn't easy

In deep thought

Of things done

Of battles fought

New day here

Time start over

Peace I have

Hope it last

It's that simple

I probably don't fit the idea of what some people would call christian.Suits and ties is not my style.I can honestly say I'm not a church goer even though I'm a member of one.Not proud of that.I have opportunities to go but I don't.Some might be shocked at the music I like.My sense of humor might not fit in with others.I have what some would call a dark side.Far from perfect and asking for help and forgiveness daily is me.At times I feel like a hypocrite.Unworthy of God's love and His forgiveness.

But He has.God has set me free.Not free of struggles and hardships.Not free of sickness or sadness.Not free of broken hearts or loneliness.Being christian doesn't guarantee a life free of any of this.But I am free of eternal death.Don't get me wrong I will die.But I have the promise of God that I will live in His Heavenly home for eternity.

Why do I tell you these things about me?Maybe it needed saying.If a sinner like me can find God's love,forgiveness and grace anyone can.

It is simple.Just ask God for forgiveness and believe that His Son Jesus died for our sins and was resurrected from the grave.It's that simple.

A calling for me

I think maybe there is a calling for me.The need to write.Not for fame or fortune but to be a voice for those no one hears.A voice for the disabled,the helpless and the hopeless.A voice for those forgotten and thrown away.A voice for people who don't fit the norm.

This is on my heart tonight.The Bible teaches us that those who believe in God and follow in His son Jesus footsteps have a calling.

Maybe I have found mine.

Goat named Billy

Once I rode a goat named Billy

The terrain sure was hilly

Only three years old

At that age we are bold

Grandpa and Daddy

Set me on that goat

Down that hill I did float

That goat threw me off

I lost my shoe

Ended up black and blue

Everything said it is true

Oh so flirty

Cute as can be

Oh so flirty

Makes me wish

Again I was thirty

Yes your fine

And so kind

It's no jive

You make me feel alive

You so pretty

Anyone can see

You make me stutter

My heart do flutter

Close my eyes

The world is bad

It makes me sad

Of things that go on

Close my eyes

Shut my ears

Can't stand their tears

I hear people cry

Some want to die

I just want to hide

Please Lord help

Don't want to end up that way

That is my prayer today

You won't know

Here I am

Lost my plan

Times need a hand

Took wrong road

I'm not bold

Don't have to be told

Which way I turn

Wrong I burn

I did learn

I did try

Tried not to lie

To you goodbye

My feelings never show

You won't know

Keeping things low

Smile be glad

Even if mad

Never look sad

I'm am through

With you

This is true

Laying low

Laying low

Going with the flow

Flying under the radar

Doing good so far

Try be cool

Don't act a fool

Don't hesitate

Just cooperate

It will be fine

Good in time

Don't ring any chimes

Walk that line

Burger and fries

Burgers and fries

Such a delight

Burgers and fries

I do like

Burger and fries

Put some on the grill

Burger and fries

Guaranteed to thrill

Burger and fries

Such a treat

Burger and fries

Can't be beat

Burger and fries

Loved by many

Burger and fries

Cook up plenty

Burger and fries

Love burnt red meat

Burger and fries

Come on now lets eat

Little puter

I must clean my screen

It's looking a little green

Keyboard sure is dusty

So dirty it makes my fingers rusty

Speakers sound scratchy

When listening to Molly Hatchet

My poor little puter

Only thing can do is shoot'er

I surf the net

It sure is fun

This I bet

Seen it all and all I done

From A to Z

What else can there be

Only look at the stuff that's free

Some nights keeps me up to three

Have you ever

Have you ever been used

Have you ever been abused

Have you ever been amused

Have you ever been confused

Have you ever been happy

Have you ever been sad

Have you ever been glad

Have you ever been mad

Have you ever cried

Have you ever lied

Have you ever tried

Have you ever died

Don't try this

Fun things to do when you're an only child.Don't try this at home kiddos but it was fun for me.Raised with no siblings I got bored alot when I was a kid.Never was anything done that was mean but the word would be mischievous or curious.A favorite thing was to mix all the things in the bathroom medicine cabinet to gather in the sink.Sometimes you get a good smoke and that question from your Mom what are you doing in there.Another fun thing is taking your Mom's hairspray and a lighter and making a blow torch.One word for that.Cool.Take a thermometer put it in the fridge and sooner or later they will freeze and bust.The dangers of mercury poisoning I knew nothing about then.I put to gather and collected plastic model cars.Every so often after a big collection was on hand I had well putting it lightly wrecks.Lighter fluid makes big fiery crashes and when the plastic is hot you can mould all sorts of dings into your models.

There are more things I could mention but I'm afraid some impressionable kid might try it and you know that wouldn't be pretty.

So being an only child is not all that bad.Gives you a chance to use your imagination.

Blue moon

I have a saying.Wait till the next blue moon.Well it's here that blue moon so all them things promised guess today is the day to get busy and do it.By the way blue moon for those who don't know simply means two full moons in one month.It happens but not very often.So with that said I will say see ya or wait till the next blue moon.

Chicken pot pie

Chicken pot pie night

How I hate the sight

Never mind the taste

I think it's a waste

Change coming soon

Hurricane in the Gulf Of Mexico heading for New Orleans.Seven years to the day since Katrina devastated N.O.Here in west Georgia just a steady rain coming down.I've only been through one hurricane and that was Opal in 1995.It was something to see.Trees and power poles bent over like a big strong giant's hand had just push them over.It was more of a pest than any thing.No power for a week.Instant coffee for that time.One word will describe it and I wont say it here.

So just looking out the window at the steady rain coming down and I like it.The view of busy Highway 29 and the trees is very relaxing to me.The trees have that look to them.Washed out green color and yesterday I seen a lone yellow leaf floating to Earth.A sure sign of a change coming soon.

Days of cooler weather and nice open the window at night time.Sounds of crickets on a fall night will relax you into a deep sleep.Smell of burning leaves and wood smoke from a fireplace are a favorite of mine.Thoughts of homemade chili and vegetable soup with cornbread a part of the cooler weather.Crisp cool mornings that make you feel alive.

Yes fall is on the way.Never have I met anyone who disliked the season.

5 by 4 by 3

Nothing to write

Can't shed light

Things are tight

I'ts a fright

Nothing to say

On this Monday

Here I stay

Want no fray

What to do

Won't hurt you

I am true

At times blue

Love I miss

It was bliss

Like the kiss

Me you dis

Like a snake

Kill with rake

I can't take

All was fake

Red cup update

Update on red cup.Yesterday as I was eating breakfast I noticed a red plastic cup in the road.Eating with one hand and typing with the other my feelings on the cup where wrote.

All through the day I noticed that red cup.It finally made it to the sidewalk out of the road in plain view of me still.

This morning the end of the red cup came.I noticed someone wearing an orange vest picking up trash on the side of the road.Someone doing community service for some crime they had committed.

Now the red cup is gone.Gone to where ever the red cups of this world end up.Once new,shiny,useful and needed it is in away like what all of us will end up some day.

Discarded and thrown away like that red cup.

Works for me

Oh boy.Headache time today.I've had this cold or something for a week now.Always heard a cold settles in the weakest part of your body.Mine always in up in my head.That means something what I don't know.

Anyway the cure is on the way.A fresh hot cup of coffee.That always helps me.I read that why it does is that caffeine opens up the blood vessels in your brain and the blood flow is better.So if that is true or not I have no proof but it works for me.

Dream

I knew it was a dream as I was dreaming it.Least I think so anyway.I was at this old house,run down and really ugly to me.People I know where living there with me some I could see their faces others I could not but they where there.Some where living and one I know,my cousin who died a few years ago was there.She was on top of the house doing some roofing work with another lady not recognized.I could hear people talking but a tall hill had to be climbed to reach them and every time I tried down falling I would come.

I wanted to tell them about the most beautiful sight I was seeing.Looking out from the yard at the old run down house I could see this.The waters edge came right up to the edge of the yard.It was a perfect view I was looking at.It was an extremely large harbor with ferry boats and smaller ones headed in the same direction.Away from the house and towards a big city.I could see tall skyscrapers and lots of buildings.I knew the name of that city.It was New York City.

What this all means I don't know.I just had this feeling to write about my dream of last night.

Human way

Whats old now new

Guess ideas are few

The tried and true

Are things we do

Afraid to break away

Scared to take a chance

Save the hard things for another day

That is the human way

Don't be a hog

Butter scotch hard candy.At one time it was one of my favorites.I remember laying in the alley behind the house one cool fall evening eating butter scotch candy from a bag.Like every thing I did as a kid it was over done.My fault no else to blame.About 8 years old and not to smart I ate the whole bag.It was a Thursday evening and I remember thinking it was the the night one of my favorite TV shows came on.Whirlybirds.I barely made it back to the house.Talk about sick I was.I had OD'ED on butter scotch hard candy.Till this day if I see,smell or even think of that candy I feel queasy.Just writing this makes me well sick.The moral of this story is don't be a hog and share your butter scotch hard candy.

Red cup

Red cup in the road

Car comes by it's blown

From a car it was thrown

Red cup now gone

Stormy mood

I have this need to write today.But the subject escapes me at the moment.Can't focus on one thing all these thoughts are going through my brain.I'm going a hundred miles per hour and spinning my wheels.

I'm just taking in everything around me.Hummingbirds outside my window have took up a lot of my attention today.Two of them flirting around the feeder doing what who knows .Are they fighting,flirting or just playing.Reminds me of a pair on a seesaw back and forth.

My mood today I would call stormy. A good day for a rain.That would be fun just laying back watching it come down.Might get that chance next week because some tropical storms are down south and headed this way.No floods or hurricanes please thank you.

Oh well maybe later something interesting will come to me.Till then this will have to do.

Daddy just stopped by

Daddy just stopped by.Guess he was checking up on me.He didn't stay long but it sure was nice him visiting me for awhile.

Daddy has been dead for 20 years now.Before you start thinking I've gone completely wacky let me explain.

Daddy always used Lucky Tiger hair oil that he bought from the barber shop.Every so often I get this strong smell of that tonic.When I smell it I always feel like he is checking up on me.Sorta like being my guardian angel.It is a nice feeling.

Stop by anytime Daddy.Love and miss you.

Caught in a phase shift

The natives are restless today.Short tempered and fussy.I woke at 5am and noticed it real quick like.I think the butter has slid off a lot of folks biscuits.Could be a full moon is on the way.Maybe people are caught in a phase shift and their good side is being blocked.What ever the reason I'm laying low going with the flow today.Help us all we may need it.

The red badge of courage

Red badge of courage.I think we all have suffered from it at some point in our life.For those who are not familiar with it this explains it.There was a movie and most likely a book about a solider who was in the Civil War.During the heat of battle he deserted his post and was running away.On his flight from the fighting he struck his head on a low hanging tree branch.Knocked unconscious and bleeding from his accidental head wound he was found by his comrades.

His fellow soldiers thought he had been shot while fighting the battle.They where treating him as a hero.The solider did not confess his real reason for being wounded.He was told how brave and fearless he had been while other soldiers confessed of being terrified and had run away from the battle.

Ashamed of his actions the solider went along with the with the praise he was receiving.But all this had a profane affect on him.He found out that he wasn't the only one who had been afraid and deserted the fight.In the next battle he rallied his comrades and led them into battle.Still afraid but now not ashamed of being afraid because he knew everyone else was also.

So the red badge of courage he wore.We all have at some point in our life.Taking credit for things not earned or deserved.Not telling the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

Our little conversations

Hello how are you my friend of friends?Hope every thing is going great for you today.And how is my day you ask?I can't complain,every thing is going good.Great so we all are doing good,having fun and enjoying life.A red letter hokie dorrie day we can call it.And if I may ask how are you feeling?Great that's what I wanted to hear.Me? I'm fine also thank you for asking.You know what?I sure enjoy our little conversations.We must do it again real soon.Bye for now!

What can I say about you

What can I say about you

About all the wonderful things you do

Things that are nice

You don't mind doing twice

What can I say about you

Things that are good and true

How you go far far out of your way

So I can have a wonderful pleasant day

What can I say about you

How proud you are

To me you are a star

I have faith that you will go far

On a star lit Georgia night

Sound of a whipper will

On a star lit Georgia night

Always been to me a delight

Croaking of bull frogs around a pond

On a star lit Georgia night

Always a sound that's fond

Wind through the pines

On a star lit Georgia night

Always a sound I think is fine

Fire flies filling the sky

On a star lit Georgia night

Always a beautiful sight

Places

Places I know

Sugar Hill

The S curve

Skeeter Flats

Places like this

Bacon Level

Population fifty

Places that are nifty

Eagle,Alabama

Yes it's a place

Standing Rock

No bigger than a city block

These places are real

There are many more

Naming them all

Would be a chore

Exposing my heart

Where should I start

How much should I say

Without exposing my heart

I have things to say

Should I keep them to myself

These feelings I deal with every day

I think a lot

Early in the morn till late at night

It does nothing but trouble it got

Leave things alone

Don't rock the boat

Keep the burden inside it I can tote

Even if alone

Fall is coming soon

I feel it in my bones

Times like that

Wish I was home

Where I felt safe and secure

Where the memories are so dear

Wish I was home

Even if alone

Cooking and cleaning

I don't mind

It was a good way

To past away time

Yes to be back home

Life was good

Felt like it should

Even if alone

Stroke of good luck

A stroke of good luck

Has come my way

Twenty dollars twenty bucks

I did find today

How should I spend it

What should I do

If you where here

I would spend it on you

We could eat some tacos

Maybe a pizza to share

That sounds good

Oh yeah we should

Yes that I would do

I would gladly share with you

Yep twenty bucks found

Get yourself ready lets go to town

Guess I'm getting old

Snap crackle pop

Think I'm getting old

Least that's what

I've been told

Hair getting gray

My beard to

Yes I'm getting old

What can I do

My memory is fading

This is true

Guess what now

I can't remember you

Guess this happens to us all

Now I'm just old

If I may say so

If I may be so bold

Call me lazy

You can call me crazy

But I must be getting old

Because things are a little hazy

Life as it should be

If life was like it should be

I would like living in a tree

In a tree house way up high

The roof almost touching the sky

If life was the way I wanted

All children would be happy

Never to be hurt or taunted

Every child would know their Daddy

If I had my way and had a say

Everyone would be free from hunger

Enough for all every day

That should be the American way

If life was fair

Everyone would really care

Free from fear and pain

There would be no injustice to bare

I feel crappy

I feel crappy

I need a nappy

Woke up at three

Sick as could be

Head was hurting

Sore throat to

Took a Tylenol

What else could I do

I feel better

Just light headed

Think I will make it

If not I'll just fake it

Heaven or Hell

Heaven or Hell

Choice up to you

What you believe

What you do

I don't know

But I've been told

Hell is hot

There your soul will rot

God is all

Jesus is his Son

Where we go

Depends on what we done

If you know you know

Where you will go

Jesus is the light

He will save your life

All things southern

Things all southern

I know alot

Them old things

We never forgot

Things like grits

With buttered biscuits

Taters piled high

Gotta be fried

Co Colas and peanuts

Moonpies they fine

First class cuisine

Richard Petty

Love that blue

Red Georgia clay

In we play

Watermelon we eat

On summer day

Born and bred

Full of strife

We are here

Full of fear

Some days good

Lot are bad

Do best can

With what have

Take in stride

Our time abide

One at time

On my mind

Enjoy each minute

Time will come

When there none

Life then done

My Dear Jane

Walking on thick grass

Don't stump your toe

Watch those splinters

Shoes in house

They not needed

Never made sense

Wasted money spent

Walking barefooted

Way to go

Them ole shoes

You can throw

Salad day

What to do

What to say

Where to go

Where to stay

Today is Friday

My salad day

Big and tall

Eat it all

Stacked fully loaded

Salads be fine

Eaten all time

Fine way dine

Great with tater

Good with pizza

Salads they are

Dressing from jar

Only thing wrong

Don't last long

My excuse

Well. Today what I wrote probably didn't make much sense.Excuse me but writing was a little bit hard today.This is the story why.I like tomatoes.Home grown tomatoes to be specific.Little small tomatoes just right for snacking on and snack I have been doing.I think maybe I over done this snacking on tomatoes.I have an allergy of some sort and maybe tomatoes are the cause.My face is red and blotchy and it stings.For the first time in my life I took an allergy pill.Well guess what?They make you sleepy and dozy and that I was and still am for that matter.So if what I wrote today sounded a bit off the wall that is why.That is my excuse and I'm sticking by it.

Crow Hop

Bush Head shoals

Crow Hop to

Places never got

You're to young

I was told

It's to rough

Places on river

There you fish

Now I'm old

I no wish

Them places fish

Them dirt roads

Them dirt roads

Dusty and muddy

Smell of clay

On summer day

That red dirt

Will ruin shirt

Bluejeans it stains

Cleaning a pain

Them dusty roads

Almost gone now

They from past

Hope some last

Broken heart pain

Close my heart

Open never again

Long time heal

Broken heart pain

Nothing to lose

Nothing to gain

Broken heart pain

Best being alone

When love gone

Men do cry

Some even die

It no shame

Broken heart pain

Not about you

Don't be vain

It be about

Broken heart pain

Down to ocean

Down to ocean

Where I belong

Crashing of waves

Sand under feet

Grass hut live

On the beach

Life I need

Life I want

Setting sun see

Beautiful to me

In another time

Maybe this mine

Happy and carefree

Life for me

Down to ocean

Down to sea

Took a pill

Took a pill

For my knee

Now it feels

Like should be

I did sleep

Only little bit

Last night I

Didn't sleep none

That no fun

Feels pretty good

Still can't run

But that ok

That pill did

Save the day

Wait and see

The trees have that look.Changing now it seems.They are not that deep dark green.Their color is washed out green.Could it be because of the extreme hot weather this summer or is fall going to come early?Sunday reminded me of an early fall day.It was so nice.I have heard that one extreme follows another so if that is true guess this winter will be a cold one.

We will just have to wait and see.

Steady like a tree

Sun is shining

It is raining

Devil beating his wife

What it's called

The Devil he's no good

Causes nothing but strife

Want to do good

Live life like I should

Temptations they are abound

Every where I turn they around

Try hard I will

Cause Jesus has paid the bill

He died for our sins

For you and me

Now we are set free

All born sinners that is true

How we act up to you

Life a hard row to hoe

At times need patience of Job

Jesus has set me free

I must stand steady like a tree

For the plan God has for me

You make it possible

Hulu

I thank you

You make it possible

With you I'm able

To watch TV without cable

All my favorites from the past

They such a blast

Back when TV was fun

3 channels black and white

That little dot on screen went out every night

Now TV on 24/7

Channels of every type

Hate to say most just hype

Back then them 3 channels black and white

TV was fun we didn't gripe

Talk with you

Nothing to do

So I will talk to you

What ya been doing

What ya up to

Hope things good

Behaving like you should

Know you are

Keep that up

And you will go far

Ok I enjoyed our chat

I got things to do

But later I be back

Just to talk with you

All over town

Stormy day

Rain looks like here to stay

But that's ok

Farmers they do need it

They been praying and pleading

All over town

This rain causing no frowns

That don't forget

I'm ok

So are you

We going to make it

That is true

You cheer up

Don't you be blue

Me and you

We be friends

Got each other

Till the end

Others will forget us

That I know

Sometimes it easy to get

Down and out

Your friend I will be

That don't forget

So long and goodbye

All is good

As Under Dog said

Never fear

I am here

No more tears

Time and the years

They do pass

Really it's been a gas

Enjoy least try

Time that left

No time to cry

So to you I say

So long and goodbye

Heartbreak

Heartbreak is a pain

I'm through with that game

Never again will I

Have to say good bye

Not going to trust

To much of a fuss

Them days over

All it got me was

Grayer and older

So guarding my heart

My love I keep

Never to part

I need a line

Into the blank screen I stare

Judas Priest on YouTube plays

Just here waiting on end of the day

Not much to do

Not much to say

Random thoughts I have

Some good

Some sad

None are bad

I know

That was a cheap rhyme

But it did save time

Didn't prep

Didn't think

Yep you guessed next line

This little dilly going to stink

What could I say

That will save the day

I need a line

That will make this dilly sound fine

Something smart

Something bright

Something that sounds just right

This could be a long one

How am I getting out of this

Hold on I've just begun

Now I have it

Know what to say

It's been fun

Have a good day

Hummingbirds

Hummingbirds I see

Things not much bigger

Than a bumble bee

Morn noon night

They in flight

Rain or shine

They don't mind

Things I see

Things I see

Some bother me

I see souls

That want to be free

Trapped in their misery

This can't be their history

But it's their destiny

Nothing can be done

For them no more hope

No more days in sun

Enjoyed by me

A pretty day

All I can say

Just came in

That's where I've been

Mid August it is

But felt like fall day

Enjoyed by me

I will say

Care to guess

More like this

On the way

15

15 on a summers night

Smell of Formosa

Fills the air

15 not a care

Doors Light My Fire

We do hear

Young hearts

Full of cheer

15 on a summers night

Everything is alright

Thought feeling would last

Only if could

15 on a summers night

Everything is sweet

All is good

You

You get me tongue tied

You make me blush

Talking with you

Gives me such a rush

You can make me mad

Make my blood boil

Around you I see double

Really you're nothing but trouble

You I don't like

Please leave me alone

Just take a hike

Go far away

Have a nice day

Inspiration

Come on inspire me

I need to write

Nothing sappy or sad

Something witty and bright

Let it be good not bad

Come on help me now

You can do it if you try

Don't make me beg

Don't make me cry

I need inspiration

End my desperation

Careful of my thoughts

Got to line my hat with tin foil today.This is the reason why.Last night I was thinking how nice a cup of chipped ice would be.I had a hot Coke and ice was needed.Never did I ask for a cup but would you believe that someone brought me a cup and I asked whats this.They answered and said the ice you wanted.So my brain must be sending out these signals and thoughts to people.I must be careful of what I'm thinking.Like the old joke they must have esp or is that ESPN.

Today

Today I write happy thoughts

Not about battles fought

Of cheerful nice things

Things that are sweet

Things that are bright

Look at things in another light

Today no fights

Love everyone

Peace to all

Talk to ya later

Take care y'all

World peace

World peace

My plan

Everybody do this

Pick a day

Everyone boy girl woman man

Have a weenie roast

All at same time

Hard to fight

With hot dog in hand

World peace

My plan

High on the hog

A good trade I think.This is the deal.Roommate had an extra sausage biscuit.A real pork sausage not one of those fake turkey things.I had waffles and sugar free syrup that didn't look so good to me. So we swapped.Now I'm all set with a real pork sausage biscuit and some OJ for a mid day snack.Guess you could say I'm eating high on the hog.

Easy

Easy way is

Sometimes not best

Stick through it

Even though hard

Pain is great

Tears do flow

Don't give up

Day will come

All is done

One of those days

Oh boy what can I say.Everybody is just sitting around looking like their best friend has died.Like the butter has fallen off their biscuit.Like their dog ran off with the mailman or something as bad.Is there a full moon tonight I wonder?Maybe it just one of those days.Bet you have a few like this yourself every so often

The hum drums.Bored outta your gourd type of day.The blues.A day where watching grass grow or paint drying on the wall would be a more exciting type of day.

First to cry

The first to cry.That was me.54 years ago,6 years old,1st grade,Southwest Elementary,Ms.Porter my teacher.

School had been on for a few months when this happened.Some background info.I had been hit in the eye with a rock thrown by a older neighborhood kid by accident least I hope it was.Off to the doctor I was taken and the eye was patched up and I looked like a pirate.

Sitting in class it started hurting,aching and I cried.Ms.Porter made the comment I was the first to cry in class that year.Embarrassed I was but it could not be helped.I was in pain.

What brought all this back was today is the first day of school and I overheard someone talking about their little boy's first day at school.

Sun in face

On a chopper I go riding

Great being free

From no one I'm hiding

Way it should be

Never same road I travel

Just stay off roads of gravel

My idol Then Came Bronson TV show

Fueled my need to go

Sun in face

Wind to back

Gone forever

Not a trace

Left to see

Way I want it to be

Dog days

Dog days.I never fully understood what dog days are.Momma would always tell me don't walk in the morning dew barefooted during dog days.The reason being if you had a cut or something similar on your foot it would get infected easy.Another explanation I've heard is that during dog days it's so hot that dogs go crazy with the heat.

So what ever the reason it's called dog days I think it is going on now.Sounds like a little investigating on the internet should be done.Think I will.
