(269)▪︎[ It Is Time For A Way Back Sunday … 2025 ]

[ There Are Days When You Put On Your Boots ]
[ You Need To Walk Around ]
[ Looking For A Working Phone Booth ]
[ On Your Side Of Town ]

[ When All You Get Is A Dial Tone ]
[ It Reminds You Of The Days ]
[ When It Only Cost $.25 To Get A Single Scoop Of Ice Cream Placed On A Cone ]

[ When You Get Back To Your House ]
[ You’ll Give A Kiss ]
[ To Your Loving Spouse ]

[ You Will Walk Over To Your Roll Out Desk ]
[ Put On Your Rolex ]
[ & Find Your Rolo-Dex ]

[ You Will Spin It Around & Around ]
[ Stopping It ]
[ Only After You Are Satisfied With What You Have Found ]

[ The Search For The Card ]
[ Was Extremely Hard ]

[ Searching For The Card That Just Said, “L.S.L.” ]
[ You Needed To Call Them On Your Really Old “Motorola Flip Phone” ]
[ You Really Needed To Go The “Fabulous Family Of Five” House Because They Have Always Treated You & Your Wife So Well ]

[ They Treat You Like Part Of Their Family ]
[ We Treat Them The Same ]
[ Ever Since The Matriarch Said, “This Is The Way That Things Will Be!” ]

[ We Hop In Your VW Bug With Your Full “Man-Pack” ]
[ Then Open Your Bag ]
[ & Pull Out A Tape So You Could Put It Into My 8-Track ]

[ You Love Watching The “L.S.L.” Just Experience Life ]
[ The Sentiment Is Also Felt By Your Beautiful Wife ]

[ The Love Has Always Been Sent ]
[ To Sir Dan & Ms. Teacher ]
[ The Wonderful Parents ]
[ & Elizabeth Let’s Us Borrow All Of The VCR Tapes That She Rents ]

[ S. Seems To Be The Happiest Just Sitting & Drawing While Listening To “Duran Duran” ]
[ On Her Walkman ]

[ L. Is Putting Beads On A String That Will Obviously ]
[ Turn Out Really Groovy ]

[ L. Comes Out Of His Black Lit Room In His New Parachute Pants Sporting A Brand New Pair Of Chucks ]
[ When S. & L. Quickly Turnaround & Ask, “What The F#@k?” ]

[ Dan Comes Down The Stairs Sporting An Afro ]
[ Ms. Teacher Is Wearing Neon Leg Warmers ]
[ Tossing Her Big Hair To & Fro ]
[ Dan Quickly Runs Over To His CB Radio ]
[ Because The Families Name On The Radio Is “The Charmers” ]

[ Dan Almost Tripped On L.‘s Slinky That Was Forgotten On The Brightly Lit Bottom Step ]
[ It Was A Good Thing That He Moved To His Right Instead Of His Left ]

[ When Nicole Saw Ms. Teacher, She Was Wearing Knee High “Go-Go Boots” ]
[ Your Wife Gave Ms. Teacher (2) Brand New Movies Called “Tootsie” & “Roots” ]

[ Everyone Grabbed Some Jiffy Pop Popcorn & Their Favorite Bean Bag Chair To Watch ]
[ The Movies ]
[ On The 1967 Magnavox ]

[ With The Amazing 2-Speaker Sound ]
[ The Music Was Profound ]

[ Goodnight, Good Dreams & Love To You All ]
[ If You Ever Need One Of Us ]
[ Please Do Not Hesitate To Text Or Call ]

(020)▪︎[ The Four Horsemen … 2024 ]


[ Be Careful About What Is Being Said ]
[ Hurtful Things Can Ping-Pong In The Other Person’s Head ]

[ When One Is Flooded With Emotion ]
[ That Is The One That Dips Their Feet In The Ocean ]
[ So Nothing Is Said That Works Against Their Devotion ]

[ Avoid The Arrival Of The (4) Horsemen ]
[ When Treating Others With Contempt ]
[ The Question Would Not Be (IF THEY COME …) ]
[ It Would Be A Matter Of When ]

[ None Of The Four Horsemen Is A Positive Sign ]
[ That Would Be Like Walking The Opposite Direction ]
[ When Trying To Go Dakine ]

[ Stop The (4) Horesemen With Their Antidotes ]
[ Causing A Commotion ]
[ Out In The Middle Of Nowhere, Amongst The Huge Boats ]

[ Do Not Try To Think That Your Partner, Can Read Your Mind ]
[ Let Them Know Every Night ]
[ As You Unwind ]

[ Ask “HOW CAN I HELP YOU COMPLETE THIS CHORE?” ]
[ When The Chore Is Complete ]
[ Ask “CAN I DO ANYTHING MORE?” ]
[ Before The Day Is Over & When You Want To Get Off Of Your Feet ]

[ The Antidotes Will Help You With Criticism & Blame ]
[ The Discussions Won’t Be The Same ]
[ You Will Stop Saying The Problems & Then You Insert Their Name ]

[ Everynight You Must Put On Your Mask ]
[ Do Not Wait For Your Partner To Ask ]
[ You To Complete That Task ]

[ Be Open & Transparent ]
[ If You Are Not ]
[ Years Later You Will Wonder Where The Love Went ]
[ & When Talking About The Relationship That You Sought ]
[ You Wonder About The Time That Was Spent ]

[ Nothing Seems To Make Sense Anymore ]
[ During The Last (3) Years, The Stress Had Been Immense ]
[ Since It Was Burning You Clear To Your Core ]
[ You Were Having Days Full Of Stress ]
[ That Is Why & When You Walked Out The Front Door ]

[ How Was This Mess Going To Get Resolved? ]
[ & Get The Problems Solved? ]

[ Sometimes The Problems Stay ]
[ Day After Day ]

(024)▪︎[ The Mood … 2024 ]

[ To Say That If You Are In A Somber Mood, You Would Be Minimizing Things ]
[ What Happened Last Night, Still Stings ]
[ You Wish The Whole Night Could Just Fly Away ]
[ On Magical Wings ]

 
[ You Do Not Know How, Why Or When It Went Off Of The Rail? ]
[ Sometimes You Wonder When Civility Set Sail? ]
[ If That Was An Attempt To Stay Civil ]
[ It Sure Did Fail ]

[ Sometimes The Worst Thing That You Do Is Be Alone With Your Thoughts ]
[ Then You Start Thinking About Them ]
[ & It Ties You Up In Knots ]

[ What A Vicious Circle You Are Leaving ]
[ You Are Not Doing Anything Worth Believing ]
[ You Are Not Relieving ]

[ Any Stress ]
[ So That Creates An Even Bigger Mess ]
[ But Then You Start To Digress ]

[ Trying To Get Through Quirk After Quirk ]
[ You Are Trying Your Hardest To Figure Out What Will Work ]

[ So Far, Not So Good ]
[ If You Think That It Should ]
[ Everything Will ]
[ Everything You Say, Seems To Be Misunderstood ]
[ Just Like You Thought That They Would ]

[ You Really Need To Get The (COULD & SHOULD) Out Of Your Mind ]
[ Start Having The Positive Kind ]
[ Of Thoughts ]
[ This Way, You Might Find ]

[ That In The (60+) Years That You Have Under Your Belt ]
[ You Have Yet To Find The Secret Where You Have Felt ]
[ That Your Problems Will Become Like The Snow Outside & Melt ]

[ Is There Such A Secret ]
[ That You Have Not Yet ]
[ Met? ]

[ There Is Nothing Out There That Has Been Found ]
[ That The Fountain Of Youth Is Under That Mound ]
[ Of Ground ]

[ If There Is, Could You Please Raise Your Right Hand ]
[ When Given The Command? ]
[ You Feel That If You Do Not Come Up With An Answer ]
[ You Will Be Forever Damned ]

[ What Would Be The Difference Between That & This? ]
[ Take A Look All Around ]
[ Then Could Somebody Tell You What You Would Miss? ]

[ Is There Something? ]
[ Or Is The Answer,
(NOTHING!) ]

(128)▪︎[ When Your Time Is Up … 2•15•2022 ]

[ You Might Be Able To Manipulate Mother Nature, But You
Cannot Do A Thing, To Father Time ]
[ You Cannot Borrow, An Hour ]
[ You Will Not Always Find ]
[ A Lost Dime ]

[ There Are Some Extremely Tall Mountains, Where Nature Does Not Welcome Everyman To Climb To The Top ]
[ She Plays Guessing Games, When Some Men, Do Not See Where The Snow Stops ]

[ The Higher Up The Mountain, The Air Gets Thin ]
[ That Could Be The Point That Trouble With Your Breathing, Could Begin ]
[ You Must Have Total Control Of When You Breathe In ]

[ 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 ]

[ Before Even Starting To Pack, You Need To Think About Your Climbing Skills ]
[ You Have Heard That Bad Judgement, Kills ]
[ Making Your Kids Hope That They Were In Your Most Current Will ]

[ Something That Is Not Very Fun ]
[ Avalanches That Occur On Mountains ]
[ That You Cannot Outrun ]

[ You Can Never Fool Father Time, @ All ]
[ You Cannot Ask For More Time When You Get Your Final Call ]

[ You Cannot Punch Back, When Your Ticket Gets Punched ]
[ Nobody Has Ever Seen Someone Taking The Grim Reaper Out For
A Last Lunch ]

[ When Your Time Is Up, You Never (GET ONE MORE … ) Anything ]
[ It Would Not Matter, If Your Title Is That Of The Queen ]
[ Or The King ]

(426)▪︎[ Finger Pointing … 4•28•2020 ]

[ What To Do, What To Do? ]
[ If Your Foot Was In The Other Shoe ]

[ Would You Be Singing A Different Tune? ]
[ Even If It’s Before The Afternoon? ]

[ It Doesn’t Feel Good To Be On The Wrong Side Of The
Pointing Finger ]
[ When There Is An Allegation ]
[ In A Lot Of The Public’s Mind
[ Accusations Longer ]

(252)▪︎[ Today’s Scourge … 2•25•2021 ]

[ Sometimes You Should Climb Up On A Tall Ladder &
Look Down @ The World System ]
[ & See That It Is In Fact Broken ]

[ Go To The Beach & See The Broken Coral ]
[ Then Go Downtown & See All Of The Broken Morals ]

[ The Kids Do Not Got ]
[ Any ]
[ Because Their Parents Never Taught ]
[ Them Many ]

[ Now It Is Legal To Stay In Their House ]
[ & Get High ]
[ That Is How He Lost His Spouse ]
[ Because All He Did Was Tell Lie After Lie ]

[ Because He Was Always High He Lost The Ability ]
[ To Tell What Is Reality ]

[ That Kind Of Thinking Gets Handed Down To Their Young
Children ]
[ That’s Why Their Grades Start To Tank ]
[ But The Parents Never Knew Since When ]

[ Children’s Brains Are Nothing But Sponges Ready To Soak
Up All That They See & Hear ]
[ Who Do They Go To When Things Are Not Very Clear? ]
[ If Their Parents Are Always A.W.O.L. Or High ]
[ They Turn To Their Peers ]

[ The Problem Was The Peers Did Not Know More Than They Did ]
[ Because It Was (1) Kid Asking Another Kid ]

[ The Lone Parent @ Home Is Aways Foggy ]
[ Or Groggy ]

[ Making Marijuana & Mushrooms Legal Has Been Like A Curse ]
[ & Made The Family Structure Even Worse ]

[ The Gap Between The Haves & The Have Not’s Is Growing Wider
& Wider By The Year ]
[ Because The Crime Rate Is So High ]
[ People Are Living In Fear ]

[ There Are Plenty Of Students In College Hitting The Books ]
[ Plenty Default On Their Student Loans ]
[ Because They Can Only Get A Job Being Cooks ]

[ The World Needs Cooks Because We All Need To Eat ]
[ Some Of Us Cannot Afford To Buy Pork, Chicken Or Beef ]

[ There Is Something That Is Good To Know ]
[ The Government Says That Unemployment Is @ An All Time Low ]

[ The Public Either Wants To Quit Or Create A Union ]
[ Religious Shows Have Many Followers ]
[ Because There Are Millions Of Catholics Wanting To Take
Holy Communion ]

[ But They Will All Find That It Does No Good ]
[ & That Is Not Thinking That Things Are Misunderstood ]

[ Good Is Bad ]
[ & Most Children Do Not Grow Up With A Loving Dad ]

[ I Guess You Could Say That Men Are The Scourge Of Today’s
Earth ]
[ Some Have Been Evil Since Birth ]

(402)▪︎[ On Your Birthday … 6•6•2022 ]

[ So I Hear That You Wanted A Poem On Your Birthday ]
[ I Told You That I Would Come To Your Help In Any Way ]

[ I Was Not Given A Warning Days Ahead ]
[ It Would Have Been Nice To Gets A Heads Up Instead ]

[ You Should Be Doing Nothing But Smiling ]
[ Nobody Has You Tied Up In An Office Filing ]

[ When It Comes To Being My C.G, You Are Quite New ]
[ I Wished That You Had More Hours Than A Few ]

[ So You Went Riding ]
[ On The Beach ]
[ Did It Feel Like You Were Gliding? ]
[ On A Part Of Your Body You Just Could Not Reach? ]

[ I Have Always Heard That A Horse Is The Biggest Piece Of
Meat That Women Can Get Between There Legs? ]
[ Does All Of That Pounding Affect Your Eggs? ]

[ I Found It Funny How You Came Here Walking Bowlegged
Like A Cowboy ]
[ I Guess You Can Say That Riding A Horse Is Not An Adult Toy ]

[ The Main Thing Is That You Were With Your Man ]
[ As You Were Riding In The Sand ]

[ You Said That You Had Sore Muscles That You Thought
You Never Had ]
[ Maybe Next Time Your Birthday Will Be Really Mellow ]
[ While You Get Yourself A Cowboy Hat ]

(399)▪︎[ Eye In The Sky … 6•6•2022 ]

[ You Could Say That In The Bigger Scheme Of Things ]
[ My Love For You Is Not Attached By Strings ]

[ I Do Not Need To Be Tethered To You Or You To Me ]
[ That Gives You The Freedom To Walk Away Free ]

[ If That Is Where Our Relationship Should Go ]
[ If That Is The Case ]
[ Then Only You Would Know ]

[ We Try To Have Good Communication Going Back & Forth ]
[ We Always Need Our Heads To Be Headed North ]

[ We Have Far Surpassed The (26) Year Mark ]
[ We Are Still In Drive ]
[ As Opposed To Being, Stuck In Park ]

[ We Sure Have Hit Our Share Of Potholes On Our Narrow
    Road ]
[ But Every Year We Carry A Heavier Load ]

[ Will We Be Dragging Our Asses Across That (50) Year Finish
      Line? ]
[ My Problems Become Yours ]
[ & Yours Become Mine ]

[ I Am Ready To Learn Something New Every Day ]
[ Taught By You, In Your Own Special Way ]

[ Day In & Day Out ]
[ We Are Still Learning What Each Other Is About ]

[ Through The Years The Winds Change ]
[ That Does Not Give Good Reason To Go Out & Get Some
     Strange ]

[ But Then Again We Are Forgiving Pair ]
[ Would Walking Away Be Fair? ]

[ Ashes To Ashes, Dust To Dust ]
[ Finding The Right Partner Is A Must ]

[ Through The Years We Have Had Our Fill Of Turmoil ]
[ Maybe That Is When Our Joints Need A Little Oil ]

[ Joy Is What You Seek ]
