(472)▪︎[ It Is Too Hard To Tell … 2022 ]

[ The Cars, The Bars & The Stars ]
[ All Ending In Lower Case (R’s) ]

[ Everyone Trying To Figure Out What They Should Do ]
[ With What They Know ]
[ & With What They Knew ]

[ It Is The Roll Of The Dice ]
[ If Anyone Would Listen To Something Twice ]
[ If It Started Out As (ICE, ICE … ) ]

[ (BABY!) ]
[ Would That Be An (IF) ]
[ Or Would That Be A (MAYBE?) ]

[ Either Way, The Song Will Last Past My Ring Finger ]
[ & Even Though You Are Not A Singer ]
[ The Background Tune Will Linger ]

[ Way Back In The Recess Of Their Minds ]
[ It Would Be One Of Those Tunes That Reminds ]

[ You Of Better Days ]
[ Beter Waves ]
[ Times When Everybody Behaved ]

[ In A Way That Did Not Make Society Frown ]
[ Or Burn It Down ]

[ Either It Is Or It Isn’t Good ]
[ Some Say That Means That It Is Misunderstood ]

[ That Is Just Another Mistake ]
[ That People Make ]

[ So & So Did This Or Did That ]
[ Some How It Turned Into A Multi Generational Spat ]

[ That Is No Good For Anyone Involved ]
[ Because It Has Taken This Long To Be Solved ]

[ Good Intentions Do Not Mean Squat ]
[ Even The Ones Where There Was Alot Of Thought ]
[ Those Are Thrown Down Into The Pot ]

[ Those Are The Ones That Should Be Voted On ]
[ In The Event The Majority Has Gone ]

[ About Their Ways ]
[ Because There Are Times Where You Might Not Hear From The
Majority For Days ]

[ No Bonfires, No Tikki Torches ]
[ No Leaving The Light On From Their Back Porches ]

[ They Do Not Keep In Touch Very Well ]
[ When’s The Next Time? ]
[ It Is So Hard To Tell ]

[ Everything That You Were Saying Was Being Disputed ]
[ Every Suggestion You Gave Was Refuted ]
[ Would She Rather You Be Muted ]
[ Once You Debuted ]

[ You Would Want To Go To This Place ]
[ But The Suggestion Would Be Thrown Right Back ]
[ In Your Face ]
[ Were They Trying To Knock You Off-Track? ]
[ In An Effort To Change Your Pace ]

[ It Drives You Up The Wall ]
[ So Much So ]
[ You Don’t Want To Say Anything @ All ]
[ It Should Matter ]
[ That You Were There In Person, Instead Of Being On A Call ]

[ What Is The Point? ]
[ Physically ]
[ To Get All Out Of Joint? ]
[ Emotionally ]

[ It Makes You Tired ]
[ The Amount Of Time When ]
[ You Proved That They Were Liars ]
[ Like The Blowing Of The Wind ]

[ Liars Are Not To Be Trusted ]
[ A Lot Of Times People Find The Truth ]
[ Then They Get Busted ]
[ Because They Pulled That Last Tooth ]

[ But Trust ]
[ Is A Must ]
[ & Trusting ]
[ Is A Bust ]

[ But, For The People Who Do Not Like That ]
[ They Should Look @ The Stats ]
[ It Is As Obvious As Being Thrown Down On The Mat ]

[ Well, That Is Too Bad ]
[ They Are Not Supposed To Be Glad ]
[ Or Mad ]

[ If They Want It To Be ]
[ They Should See ]
[ Things, Once They Get Up Off Of Their Knees ]

[ Mary Woznewsciak Had A Little Lamb Who Was As White As
Snow ]
[ Everywhere That Mary Went ]
[ That Damn Sheep Was Sure To Go ]

[ Mary Was Becoming As Big As A Bitch ]
[ As Fast As She Was Getting Rich ]

[ She Found Out That Wolves Would Pay Top Dollar For Little
Lambs On The Black Market ]
[ She Heard This From A Wolf Named Chet ]

[ He Used To Be In The (HUFF -n- PUFF) Business, Blowing Pigs Houses Down ]
[ But Now All The Pigs Live In Condos ]
[ Right In The Middle Of Town ]

[ So It Seemed That Those Wolves Put Themselves Out Of The Business That They Had Since They Were Young ]
[ They Found Out Through The Years, That Either You Are Born With It ]
[ Or You Don’t Have Strong Enough Lungs ]

[ Now Chet Was Trying To Get Mary To Sign A Contract ]
[ When Mary Saw All Of Those 0’s ]
[ Chet Knew How She Would React ]

[ Mary Said That She Would Sleep On It ]
[ That Almost Made Chet Have A Fit ]

[ Chet Was Supposed To Bring (5) Lambs To (CHANGS CHINESE RESTAURANT) By 1900hrs Tonight ]
[ He Pleaded With Mary ]
[ Because He Did Not Want To Start A Fight ]

[ She Told Chet (I WILL GIVE THE (5) LAMBS AS A SHORT TERM
LOANER) ]
[ (I WILL DO THIS, JUST TO APPEASE THE OWNER) ]

[ Chet Delivered The Lambs To The Owner, Stan ]
[ He Ran A Clean Restaurant ]
[ [ He Seemed Like A Good Honest Man ]

[ He Always Said (Chet, SINCE THIS IS YOU) ]
[ (I WILL PAY YOU 27% ABOVE MARKET VALUE) ]
[ & He Always Came Through ]
[ Even The Time He Could Only Bring Him One Ewe ]

[ The Next Day He Went Over To See Mary’s Flock ]
[ When He Got There He Balked ]

[ He Went To Her Door ]
[ Knocked, Then Walked In ]
[ & There It Was On The Floor ]

[ The Contract Was On The Floor, Stabbed With A Knife ]
[ After He Read It, He Feared For His Life ]

[ He Ran Home & Hurriedly Packed ]
[ He Ran To His Car ]
[ But He Was Attacked ]

[ Who Ordered The Beating ]
[ What Was This Creating? ]

[ A Grudge ]

(268)▪︎[ The Worst Day In August … 4•13•2022 ]

[ This Is A Story That Happened (1) Hot, August Night ]
[ When You Write Or Talk About This Event ]
[ It Makes Your Chest Go Tight ]

[ There Was Nothing You Could Do ]
[ But Sadly, This Did Happen To You ]

[ It Was Just Supposed To Be A Regular Shift ]
[ When The (1) Staff That Was Disliked & Disruptive Called Out ]
[ You Thought That Was A Gift ]

[ You Had Another Senior Staff, So You Thought That The
Night Would Be Good ]
[ Because Without That (1) Staff, Nothing Would Be
Misunderstood ]

[ When The Kids Would Get A Directive From That (1) Staff ]
[ Most Would Disregard Him ]
[ While The Others Would Laugh ]

[ Your Other Staff Partner Decided To Take The Positive Kids To
The Gym ]
[ Were You Worried Something Dangerous Would Happen? ]
[ It Might You Thought, But The Chances Were Slim ]

[ You Were Left With (13) Kids That Had Their Privileges Taken Away ]
[ But You Did Not Feel Threatened ]
[ Or Had The Feeling That Something Was Going To Happen That Day ]

[ You Took The Kids Out Back To Get Some Exercise ]
[ You Were Always The Shortest, In Comparative Size ]

[ The Air Was Getting Hot, Heavy & Sticky ]
[ When It Came To Kids Pairing Up ]
[ Some Were Being Really Picky ]

[ Most Kids Would Pair Up With The Same ]
[ Now Kids Paired Up With Different Names ]

[ Something Was Up ]
[ But You Just Couldn’t Figure Out What ]

[ You Got All Of The Kids Back Inside The Unit All Safe & Sound ]
[ You Went Into The Office So You Could See All Around ]

[ A Voice Distracted You To Look In The Dorm ]
[ After That ]
[ Nothing Was Ever The Norm ]

[ Jack And Bill Ran Into The Dorm Wielding A Fire Extinguisher
& A Wooden Cribbage Board ]
[ It Was Bryan That They Were Running Toward ]

[ You Immediately Pulled Your Duress Pin That Was On Your Waist ]
[ Then You Got On The Phone & Called Security ]
[ Telling Them That This Was Not A Mistake ]

[ Securty Told You Not To Engage ]
[ & Stay Safe ]

[ The Unit Went Crazy With Noise ]
[ It Drowned Out Your Voice ]

[ They Were Swinging & Hitting Bryan In The Head ]
[ You Were Hoping That He Was Not Dead ]

[ A Fire Extinguisher Or A Cribbage Board Makes A Distinctive
Sound When It Hits Someone Above The Shoulders ]
[ He Covered His Head ]
[ So They Only Hit His Head Holders ]

[ (1) Securty Showed Up @ The Front Door, Starting To Come In ]
[ Jack Sprayed Him With The Fire Extinguisher, So He Would Back Out ]
[ You Did Not Know That It Would Be Over (3) Hours Later, Before Anybody Would Try Again ]

[ Jack Would Demand Your Keys Again & Again, But Whenever
You Refused ]
[ They Would Continue To Hit Bryan ]
[ Who Seemed Dazed & Confused ]

[ They Took Mattresses & Desks To Barricade The Front Door ]
[ It Was Barricaded From Ceiling To Floor ]

[ You Never Knew That A Toilet Or Sink Could Be Busted By An Extinguisher ]
[ It Can, It Did, It Could ]
[ The Dorm Became Flooded With Water ]

[ They Busted Every Window ]
[ Why? ]
[ Maybe Just To Do So ]

[ (3) Hours Had Past ]
[ You Did Not Know How Long This Was Going To Last ]

[ Then You Saw The Hallway Leading Up To The Front Door Fill Up With Very Large Men Who Were Geared Up Head To Toe ]
[ They Busted Through The Door With Weapons Drawn ]
[ You Ran To The Officer Who Was Waving For You To Go ]

[ Once You Were Outside, Was When The Enormity Of The Situation Hit You ]
[ & What You Just Went Through ]

[ That Was When You Had Uncontrollable Shaking In Your Legs ]
[ They Felt Like (2) Heavy Sleds ]

[ (27) First Responder Vehicles Waited For You In The Yard ]
[ To This Day ]
[ You Have Never Been Through Something That Hard ]

[ There Are Some Extremely Tall Mountains, Where Nature Does Not Welcome Everyman To Climb To The Top ]

[ The Higher Up The Mountain, The Air Gets Thin ]
[ That Could Be The Point That Trouble With Your Breathing, Could Begin ]

[ Or Exhale Out ]
[ When It Comes To Climbing One Of These Mountains, You
Better Not Have Any Doubt ]
[ You Could Fall Into A Deep Crevasse, Where No One Could Hear You Shout ]
[ Out ]

[ 1400, 1401, 1402 … ]
[ Are There Going To Be More Coming Through My

[ Why Has That Technique Never Worked For Me In

[ Maybe I Forget Which Number Was Last ]

[ I Think That The Morning Will Come Soon ]
[ Should I Take A (2) Hour Nap @ (12) Noon? ]

[ Then Once Again It Will Be A Fight ]

[ I Think ]
[ This Would Not Be The Reason ]
[ That I Would Start To Drink ]

[ Would I Had Gotten So Drunk ]
[ I Could Then Stand Next To The Bed & Go
(KERPLUNK) ]

[ Go Face First On To The Bed ]
[ Then In The Morning ]

[ (HO OH NO) Says Santa Clause ]
[ He Became Really Worried ]
[ Because The Icy Roof Tops, Made Santa Pause ]

[ Would He Be Able To Deliver, All Of These Bikes & Toys ]
[ To Put Under The Trees ]
[ For All Of Those Good Girls & Boys? ]

[ He Said (OH, NOW I KNOW HOW I CAN) ]
[ (I WILL GIVE A CALL, TO SUPERMAN) ]

[ So He Made That Call ]
[ But Superman’s Phone, Just Rang & Rang On The Wall ]

[ Santa Was Stumped ]
[ He Sat Down With A (THUMP) ]

[ He Needs Someone Who Has A Flying Saucer That Can Fly Above
The Clouds ]
[ Up So High ]
[ That It Won’t Attract Any Crowds ]

[ He Knew That Geoege Jetson ]
[ Had One ]

[ When He Called, George Answered It On The Very First Ring ]
[ George Told Santa That His New Van Sized Saucer ]
[ Could Probably Hold Everything ]

[ He Told Santa, That He Would Be There In A Minute ]
[ When Santa Hung Up ]
[ George Was Almost Climbing In It ]

[ He Checked His Gauges, Especially The Ones For Gas ]
[ It Looked Like He Had A Full Tank ]
[ So George Thought, (I HOPE THAT AMOUNT WILL LAST) ]

[ Off He Went, Into The Dark Dark Sky ]
[ If He Said That He Was A Little Bit Excited To Help ]
[ He Was Not Telling A Lie ]

[ His GPS Was Instructing Him On What To Do ]
[ Like Which Ways To Turn ]
[ It Eventually Told George To Come Out Of The Clouds, To Get
A Better View ]

[ George Started To Think, That Santa Ran Into A Problem ]
[ He Couldn’t See Santa ]
[ But Santa’s Sleigh Was Directly Below Him ]

[ So George Brought His Saucer To Solid Ground ]
[ Then He Started To Look All Around ]
[ Santa Was Nowhere To Be Found ]

[ Then Rudolph Said That He Wanted To Spill The Beans ]
[ So George Said, (BY ALL MEANS) ]

[ All Of A Sudden, George Thought That The Night Air Felt Crisp ]
[ When Rudolph Started Talking Really Fast ]
[ He Was Hard To Understand, Because He Had A Severe Lisp ]

[ Especially When He Got Really Nervous ]
[ All Of The Reindeer Started To Get Antsy ]
[ Because They Were All Brought Together, To Provide A Service ]

[ Rudolph Said A Bunch Of Super Hero’s Came By In A Very Large
     Car ]
[ Santa Told Rudolph That They Were All Going Down To The
     Neighborhood Bar ]

[ George Was Alot More Than Miffed ]
[ Santa Had The Nerve To Leave All Of These Reindeer Just
Standing Around ]
[ Hooked Up To A Sleigh Full Of Gifts ]

[ (3) Hours Later They See A Drunk Santa, Walking Towards Them
In The Middle Of The Street ]
[ He Was Carrying His Boots ]
[ Because He Said, That They Hurt His Feet ]

[ George Knew That He Had To Sober Santa, Back Up ]
[ So He Went About Giving Santa Some Starbucks Black Coffee ]
[ Cup After Cup ]

[ Then, It Started To Heavily Snow ]
[ Santa Told George That They Were Way Behind Schedule ]
[ George Said (WE NEED SOME HELP)(IS THERE ANYONE YOU
KNOW?) ]

[ Santa Then Let Out A Big Belly Laugh ]
[ He Took Out (2) Really Big Stacks Of Business Cards & Handed
     Some To George ]
[ Santa Said (I WILL CALL THESE GUYS & THEN YOU CALL
     THAT ½) ]

[ In An Hour There Was A Line Of Amazon Trucks, Maybe (2)
     Miles Long ]
[ Their Supervisor Got Out Of The First Truck & Told Santa That
     He Was Doing This All Wrong ]

[ Santa Was Told That He Should Have Faxed This List To Amazon’s
Main Wharehouse (3) Weeks Ago ]
[ He Told Santa (THE OLD WAY THAT YOU DO THIS, IS WAY TOO
SLOW!) ]

[ He Said (AMAZON CAN BE HIRED) ]
[ To Do This With 2nd Day Air, Once The Family Signs Up For Their
Amazon Prime ]
[ Once The Sleigh Was Empty, He & His Reindeer Finally Retired ]
[ For The Last Time ]

[ Santa Thanked George Jetson For Coming To His Aid ]
[ Santa Felt Good About The Friends He Just Made ]

[ Julie Was @ The Till ]
[ So She Could Add Up The Steak, Soda, (3) Candy Bars, (4) Cases

[ She Pulled Out A Giant Bag ]
[ That Had A (MEIER & FRANK) Store Tag ]

[ Scooby-Doo Dropped His Dishes To Come Over To Lend A Paw
Or Two ]
[ He Looked @ Sweet Julie & Asked (IS THERE ANYTHING THAT
I CAN DO?) ]

[ She Told Him To Bag The Drinks While She Bagged The Food ]
[ Scooby Laughed & Said (THOSE (2) WILL BE EATING GOOD) ]

[ They Started Walking Down The Street ]
[ When Jack Stated (I’m TIRED & I WANT SOMETHING TO EAT) ]

[ They Saw An Open Diner ]
[ & Jill Said (WILL THIS DO, YOU BIG WHINER?) ]

[ Jack Said (YES) ]
[ & Then He Told Jill That (SHE LOOKED LIKE A MESS!) ]

[ That Only Angered Her More ]
[ That Was The Reason Why She Did Not Hold The Door ]

[ Jack & Jill Were Clearly Mad @ Each Other ]
[ The Smallest Pig Got In Between Them & Said (HEY JACK, JILL
IS YOUR SISTER) ]
[ (& JILL, JACK IS YOUR BROTHER) ]

[ All (3) Of Them Went & Got A Booth ]
[ The Little Pig Said (HEY LOOK, I JUST LOST ANOTHER TOOTH) ]

[ They Had A Good Meal & Then Went Their Separate Ways ]
[ Jill Said She Had Been Kind Of Short With Others These
Last (3) Days ]

[ Jack -n- Jill ]
[ They Finally Got Back Up The Hill ]

[ Right Before He Got To The Door He Turned To Jill & Looked
Pale ]
[ He Forgot To Pick Up The (3) Buckets Of Water & Three Weeks
Worth Of Mail ]

[ Jack Turned Around & Ran Into The Night ]
[ Jill Told Him That She Would Leave On The Light ]

[ That Was (2) Years Ago ]
[ Jill Needs To Know ]

[ Whatever Happened To Jack ]

[ If Plausible ]
