(500)▪︎[ What To Bring To The Table … 6•17•2021 ]

[ There Comes A Time In Your Life When You Have To Pull Up
     Your Big-Boy Pants ]
[ There Will Be A Time & A Reason ]
[ It Would Not Be By Chance ]

[ Either ]
[ Nope, Neither ]

[ There Was A Time When You Had To Stop Acting & Being A Child ]
[ There Was A Time During Your Twenties ]
[ When You Had To Stop Going Out To The Clubs Getting Drunk
     & Acting Wild ]

[ It Is Not Like You Have Stopped Living ]
[ You Will Find That What Is Fun ]
[ Is When You Are Able To Bring People Together & Enjoy Gift
     Giving ]

[ Giving Is The Best Thing ]
[ The Worst Feeling ]
[ Is When You Catch Someone Stealing ]

[ You Hope To See People As They Really Are ]
[ You Don’t Get Impressed When They Drive Up In An Expensive
     Car ]

[ It Would Be Nice If People Would Take Each Other @ Their
     Word ]
[ Sometimes It Is A Nice Thought That Later In Life You Would Be
     Able To Travel The World ]

[ Trust In & From Others Is A Very Important Thing ]
[ When People Are Trusting That Is A Wonderful Quality
     To Bring ]

[ To The Table When You Meet Someone New ]
[ The Most Important Trait To Come With ]
[ Is The Ability To Just Be You ]

[ Not Someone Older ]
[ Not Someone With Bigger Shoulders ]

[ The Biggest Gift ]
[ Is When You Can Give All Of Yourself ]
[ Without Causing A Rift ]

[ Things Are Good ]
[ When You Are Understood ]

(573)▪︎[ Almost Moving Day … 7•13•2021 ]

[ Well, Tomorrow Is The Big Day ]
[ & What Can I Say? ]

[ Good Luck! ]
[ Go Ducks! ]

[ I Don’t Really Know ]
[ This Day Took A Really Slow ]

[ Time, Getting Here ]
[ & Now It Is Near ]
[ & The Date Is Marked So Clear ]

[ I Am Not Jumping Up & Down For Joy ]
[ Like A Wind-Up Toy ]
[ Because He Will Always Be My Boy ]

[ But There Is The Fact ]
[ About How Dangerous He Acts ]

[ To Me & Others ]
[ Even Towards His Mother ]

[ Clear To His Soul ]
[ He Has Become Out Of Control ]

[ When He Gets Confronted, He Clenches His Fists ]
[ & That Shows That He Is Pissed ]

[ Off ]
[ & All Of His Common Sense Is Lost ]

[ So, Yes It Is About Time That He Takes His Groove ]
[ & Move ]

[ See How He Deals With Others After The Honeymoon
     Stage ]
[ Is Over ]
[ & He Acts (4) Years Younger Than His Actual Age ]

[ Than They Will See The Actual, Real Him ]
[ & He Becomes A Problem ]

[ I Was & Am Tired Of The Rampant Disrespect That He
     Shows ]
[ & How He Thumbs His Nose ]

[ @ Whatever I Have Said ]
[ & Does Whatever He Wants To Do Instead ]

[ Just Like It Is Almost Moving Time ]
[ This Is The End Of This Specific Rhyme ]

(393)▪︎[ A Sad Boy … 5•8•2021 ]

[ This Is For That One, Sad Boy ]
[ Living Lonely, Without Any Toys ]

[ When You Go To Your Closet, For Some Fun ]
[ You Don’t Find, A Single One ]

[ They Were Taken From You, About Two Years Ago ]
[ For Reasons That You Still, Don’t Know ]

[ One Day They Were Here & The Next Day They Were Gone ]
[ You Don’t Remember What You Did, That Was So Wrong ]

[ To Have Them Taken, When You Were Not There ]
[ & If You Were Asked, You Would Gladly Share ]

[ That Day, Plays Through Your Mind ]
[ Time, After Time ]

[ You Went Down The Street, To The Park ]
[ To Play With Your Friends ]
[ & Then, You Made It Home, Before Dark ]

[ Do You Go To Your Mom Or Dad & Ask ( WHY? ) ]
[ Is It Even, Worth Another Try? ]

[ You Still Have Welts ]
[ From The Last Time, That Your Dad Got Mad & Used His Belt ]

[ You Never Thought ]
[ That He Was Ever, Going To Stop ]
[ All Because, You Drank A Pop ]

[ Without Your Dad’s Permission ]
[ & After Your Admission ]

[ Were The Toys Being Taken Because Of That? ]
[ Being Taken Because Of That One Bad Act? ]

[ Or Was It Because Of The Bank, That You & Your Four
     Friends Robbed Over Two Years Ago, Last May ]
[ Your  Little Group Of Friends, Just Wanted To Get Paid ]

[ You All Got The Cash ]
[ By Going In & Out, Really Fast ]

[ But Then Your Dad, Caught A View ]
[ Of That Evenings News ]

[ After Stashing Some In The Floor & In A Crawl Space, In The
     Hall ]
[ Your Dad Said That He Wanted It All ]
[ Or He Would Make A Call ]
[ So We Had To Give It To Him ]
[ But We Kept What I Bundled Up & Hid In The Wall ]

[ He Had No Clue ]
[ & Neither Did You ]

[ Know That The Story Would Twist ]

~ The End ~
