7 Questions I’d Like To Ask You

Why is there always one clown in a crowd who asks people witnessing an entertaining, strange, or scary event, “Did you see that?“

Why do some men and women wear pants so tight they rip if they bend over? And, for God’s sake, why are so many of them huge?

Why would anyone buy a wristwatch that just tells the time?

Why do some Evangelical Christians today get to pick and choose which of the 10 Commandments to follow?

Why does America have more people in prisons than any of the other top industrial nations in the world?

Why don’t train boxcars only carry boxes?

Why are you taking the time to read these silly questions?

One More Step

so near, yet so far away

the goal of greatness

led astray

the bulk of work undone

fettered away

while having fun

the deed incomplete

unfinished business

doomed to repeat

finally

reaching the prize

with one more step

to watch it materialize

Tongue in Cheek Chic

the internet is on fire

with satire

websites create memes

with satirical themes

trolls stalk the web

like an invisible celeb

mocking everything said

tongue-in-cheek instead

being the chic way

for netizens to say

their piece every day

Who Cares?

c’mon, let’s be real

who cares about trivial facts

that are supposed to be a big deal?

a Hollywood star has a baby

whose name fans say is crazy

the royal family visited a park

and the children thought it a lark

the latest study found

that marmots are proud

the trending activity

is oversensitivity

c’mon…who cares

about millionaires?

or conspiracies?

or political memes

with hateful themes?

Who cares what others do?

As long as they don’t hurt you?

or ruin your day

and take something away?

who cares about others

unless their brothers or mothers?

who cares about anything at all

however big and however small?

Hats Off To Hats!

we cover a bald or hairy head

with every conceivable material

from metal to heavy thread

some hats are the best way

to show power

and make underlings cower

some people say

hats show the world who we are

whether normal or bizarre

still others say

it’s the best way to shield your head

from the sun which can turn it red

hats are always going to be around

they’re very much part of society

and there’ll always be a variety

so hats off to hats in history

may they always be

important and silly!

Searching For What To Say

like a bloodhound on a safari of scents

I relentlessly stalk each moment of the day

searching for something new to say

I let my animal instincts lead the way

when seeking story’s to share each day

eagerly searching for mysteries

and histories to proudly display

I hope my hunt for knowledge

all these days, never goes away

Udder Nonsense

the cow never even tried to jump over the moon

that story was made up by a common loon

waiting until the cows come home

is a motto that’s completely overblown

there’s one claim that won’t lead you astray

you should never kick a cow chip on a hot day

sacred cows have been known to bullshit

if they can see the benefit

it’s really all udder nonsense

and the opposite of common sense

Experience

you can’t go to a store and buy it

it doesn’t come neatly prepackaged

like a commodity

Experience comes with the school of hard knocks

like a scratched knee

there’s no magical pills to replace it

it’s a matter of your history

Outside The Box

I climbed out of the box one day

unafraid of what people would say

leaving behind conventions

with good intentions

gone astray

Vino Veritas

with the god’s favorite libation

there is much celebration

led by a smiling Bacchus

and his observation

that there is truth in wine

that imbibing is fine

and it’s okay to drink anytime
