[ I Have Missed Your Professional Touch ]
[ You Are Always So Nice ]
[ & You Don’t Let Me Slack Too Much ]

[ Now My Circumstances Have Changed ]
[ You Are Always So Smart ]
[ You Have Probably Already Rearranged ]

[ Of What I Can Do & What I Can Not ]
[ My Neck Is Not Doing So Well ]
[ & My Back Is Not So Hot ]

[ With My Surgery Two Days Ago ]
[ You Know ]
[ That Is Why I Was Moving So Slow ]

[ You Let Me Lay On Some Ice For My Back ]
[ Then You Put Your Cold Hands On My Neck ]
[ & I Thought ( OH, THERE’S ANOTHER ICE PACK ) ]

[ The Way That You Break Down The Problems &
Terminology Amazes Me Everytime ]
[ The Way That You Are, The Way That You Do
Things ]
[ Gives Me Plenty Of Reasons To Write You A
Complimentary Rhyme ]

[ Every Session With You, You Are So Sweet ]
[ When Ever You Are My P.T. ]
[ It Is Such The Treat ]

[ Whenever You Treat My Neck ]
[ You Give & Get ]
[ So Much Respect ]

[ Ms. Pope Is Very Good & Nice, But She Is
Not You ]

[ When & Where Credit Is Due ]

[ Next Time I Want To Hear About Your Wedding
Ceremony ]
[ I Hope You Have For Me ]
[ Lots Of Pictures To See ]

[ Hello To Your Husband & Young Son ]

(427)▪︎[ The Waves … 4•28•2020 ]

[ The Sounds Of The Ocean Are Soooo Relaxing ]
[ Being In The City Is Overly Taxing ]

[ Imagining The Waves Is Very Soothing ]
[ It’s Your Stress ]
[ That It’s Smoothing ]

[ Wave After Wave Comes Crashing In ]
[ You Know Where It Ends ]
[ But You Have No Idea Where They Begin ]

[ Is It Way Way Out There In The Middle? ]
[ If You Were Dumped In That Water ]
[ You Would Be As Visible ]
[ As A Thimble ]

[ In A Pile Of Hay ]
[ You’d Never Want To Die That Way ]

[ Back To Soothing Your Mind ]
[ You Will Think Of The Waves ]
[ When You Are In A Bind ]

[ & Remember The Sounds ]
[ But There Will Be No Boats, No Sailing, No Cruises ]
[ You Feet Will Be Planted Firmly On Dry Ground ]

[ Waves Are An Amazing & Oftentimes Frightful Act Of Nature ]
[ If There Ever Would Be A Time That You Turn Your Back
To The Ocean ]
[ You Would Not See, Hear Or Sense The Danger ]

[ That You Put Yourself In ]
[ You Will Not Know That You Were About To Fight For Your Life ]
[ With A Force Of Nature That Usually Wins ]

[ Sneaker Waves Can Come In About Three-Stories High ]
[ You Wouldn’t Even Have The Time ]
[ To Wave Goodbye ]

[ When It Crashes Over You & Pushes You Down Into The Sand ]
[ All It Wants To Do ]
[ Is Pull Me Away From Dry Land ]

[ As You Frantically Struggle To Survive ]
[ Your Will To Live ]
[ Keeps You Alive ]

[ When You’re Able To Run To The Sand That’s Dry ]
[ & Say That You Weren’t Scared ]
[ Your Eyes Would Tell Everyone That Was A Lie ]

[ Then You Thought (WHAT SHOULD I HAD EXPECTED?) ]
[ (WHEN THE OCEAN FELT DISRESPECTED?) ]

[ Then You Sat There, With A Tear In Your Eye ]
[ That A Careless Mistake ]
[ Almost Caused You To Die ]

[ As Memories Of Your Life Flashed ]
[ You Heard The Water Splash ]

[ You Just Thought ]

[ It’s Kind Of Sad As You Watched The Waves Come To An End ]
[ The Waves Really Showed ]
[ That Water Can Break & Bend ]

(903)▪︎[ Will She Stay? … 10•27•2020 ]

[ What Do I Find Irritating About This ABC? ]
[ Just Maybe ]
[ She Doesn’t Act As Respectfully ]
[ To Me ]
[ Like She ]
[ Should Be ]

[ She Acts Like She Is All Hard & From The Hood ]
[ & She Tries To Impress Others ]
[ Because They Think That Is Good ]

[ I Don’t ]
[ & I Won’t ]

[ I Can Literally Say Never ]
[ Ever! ]

[ I Have Some Concerns ]
[ Right Now There’s Something About Her That Rubs
Me Wrong ]
[ Through The Years I Hope That I Have Learned ]
[ That If My Gut Feeling Is Strong ]

[ I Need To Listen To That Little Voice ]
[ & Keep My Poise ]
[ Then Make A Good Conscious Choice ]

[ On Whether Or Not She Should Stay ]
[ Or Come Back Tomorrow ]
[ For Another Day ]

(442)▪︎[ Nobody Has … 5•2•2020 ]

[ Do You Know Who Is Stabbing Who? ]
[ While They Are Shaking Hands With Whom? ]
[ Will It Really Bother You? ]
[ To Know Who Just Left The Room? ]

[ When He Left, He Just Walked On By ]
[ He Neither Said (HI) ]
[ Or (GOODBYE) ]

[ Why Was That, You Wonder Out Loud? ]
[ It Is Not Like You Were In The Middle Of A Crowd ]

[ Then You Could See ]
[ How He Would Not Want To Be Seen ]

[ After What He Just Did To Someone You Consider A Friend ]
[ & Then That Friend Asked Me ]
[ (WHERE DOES THIS END?) ]

[ You Wonder Why ]
[ Did He Lie? ]

[ What Did He Have To Gain? ]
[ Why Was He Acting So Vain? ]
[ When He Was Inflicting Pain? ]

[ Why Did He Seem So Pleased? ]
[ When Was Pulling Up Weeds? ]

[ He Did Not Have The Willpower ]
[ To Learn The Differences ]
[ Between One Flower ]
[ & Another On The Other Side Of The Two Fences ]

[ Will You Ever Trust ]
[ Him Ever Again? ]
[ Though It’s Not A Must ]

[ It Is 430 In The Morning & I Cannot Sleep ]
[ I Guess I Could Lay Here & Count 1400 Sheep ]

[ That Had Never Worked For Me Before ]
[ 1400, 1401, 1402 … ]
[ Are There Going To Be More Coming Through My
Bedroom Door? ]

[ Why Has That Technique Never Worked For Me In
The Past? ]
[ Maybe I Forget Which Number Was Last ]

[ Maybe I Concentrated Too Much On The Number ]
[ & Forgot About The Slumber ]

[ 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 ]
[ To Squeeze Out Any Sleep @ Night ]

[ 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 ]
[ I Would Have To Deal With The Constant Pounding
In My Foggy Head ]

[ Would It Had Been Worth It? ]
[ When The End Result Made You Feel Like Shit? ]

[ Nothing Would Be Worth That? ]
[ Then … ]

(901)▪︎[ I Am Sad … 10•26•2020 ]

[ Right Now My Mood Is On A Downward Slide ]
[ My Best Friend Might Be Saying Goodbye ]

[ Her Priorities Have Completely Shifted ]
[ Thoughts & Worries Are Now A Huge Weight On
Her Mind ]
[ & I Can’t Help Her Lift Them ]

[ She Has To Go Back To Her Original Home ]
[ Her Leaving Day Is Not Known ]

[ It Hurts That Small Corner Of My Heart ]
[ That She Has Touched ]
[ My Level Of Sadness Is Off Of The Chart ]

[ I Need To Find The Courage ]
[ To Continue To Encourage ]
[ & Not To Be Selfish ]
[ & Say Things That Might Discourage ]

[ Family Is Everything To Her Family ]
[ That Is One Thing That I Could Always See ]

[ The Thoughts Sure Do Hurt ]
[ I Sweat Through My Shirts ]

[ I Admire Her Total Commitment ]
[ To Her Mom ]
[ & That Has Put Her In This Predicament ]

[ But She Does Not See It That Way ]
[ @ Least That Is How She Said These Things To Me
Today ]

[ I Have My Fears ]
[ That We Will Completely Lose Touch ]
[ & That Made Me Have Tears ]

[ I Have To Stand Tall ]
[ Against The Wall ]

[ & Put My Hands On My Hips ]
[ Make Sure That My Support For Her ]
[ Doesn’t Slip ]
[ & No Matter How Much These Thoughts Hurt ]
[ Continue To Bite Hard On My Lip ]

[ You Are So Done, Finally ]
[ You Are So Done, Financially ]

[ If Anybody Expects Any Thing More, They Will Be Wrong ]
[ Your Money Is Staying Where It Currently Sits ]
[ That Is Right Where It Belongs ]

[ You Should Only Concentrate On Who Is Really Important

(766)▪︎[ George To The Rescue … 12•24•2022 ]

[ (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 ]
