3 for one!
The panda got his two black eyes by saying things that were not wise. So it should come as no surprise that we all tell so many lies. ******************************* Getting cancer by cell phone is certainly alarming. But even worse is Rachel Ray when she is being charming. *********************************8 I try to remain positive and [...]
Buckaroo!
The cowboy rides a horse to work. He punches cattle as a perk. He twirls a looping lariat and at saloons will tarry at. As a youth I thought his stance was all adventure and romance. In my mature, considered view . . . I wish I were a buckaroo!
Children
Children who are seen, not heard, are rarer than the dodo bird. Shyness does not seem to be part of their philosophy. Louder than a tugboat horn from the day that they are born, volume is their one concern; up and up the knob they turn. Then about the age fourteen the noise grows absolutely [...]
Public Television
When I’m watching Channel Two seems I’m always at the zoo or it’s British comedy, mumbling incessantly. When the good stuff does arrive, it is for their own fund drive, which goes on forevermore, causing me to sit and snore. No hard feelings, but I want culture not so much to flaunt. So adieu to [...]
Swimming
Heading to the local beach, I find the water out of reach; placards quickly come in view, telling me what not to do: No inner tubes. No scuba gear. No pets allowed. You can’t drink beer. No piggyback. No high dive leaps. No sun bathing. No driftwood heaps. No volley ball. No outside food. No [...]
4 poems for one price
In-laws are funny breed; every marriage has ‘em. You will be at peace if they live across a chasm. ******************************* When you turn the other cheek be careful, heaven knows, it doesn’t leave you open to a punch right on the nose. ********************************* I’ve read the Bible, so I know my enemies to cherish; but [...]
Minnesota Land
Don’t prate about your lefse here in Minnesota-land, or the lutefisk and stuff on sticks that you think is so grand. I’ll tell you who has bragging rights, no matter what the dips, is Old Dutch with their choice of flavored great potato chips. Totino’s Pizza is okay. Creamettes can do no harm; but nothing [...]
The Bagpipe
The bagpipe makes a brazen sound between a groan and bleat. Old Brahms himself could not compose a note for it that’s sweet. The bagpipe comes from Scotland where they feel no shred of guilt in playing it the live-long day in nothing but a kilt. Playing one takes lots of air and even more [...]
Economists
Economists do not get sacked, outsourced, downsized, or fired. In fact the worse finances are the more of them get hired. They have no money of their own but ours they can direct to market shares for bulls and bears ’til we are derelect. Don’t ever turn your back on one or they will pick [...]
Charity
Charity begins at home so do not be a slouch; fill your pockets with spare change and sit upon my couch.
