A Thought

Yesterday I had a thought about something in particular
This morning I woke up with it and it felt quite familiar
I can't recall the details which seem rather peculiar
but I know that it was all rather spectacular
Something which we all should add to our vernacular 

Today I will go forth and try to recall this important gem
Perhaps it will come to me while singing a certain hymn
Who knows when it will it or with what vigor and vim
There's so much info in my brain it's filled up to the brim
All I know is if it doesn't return I shall just feel a bit grim

Words Get In The Way

Words get in the way
creative concepts don't stay
Not sure exactly what to say
words get in the way

Plenty on my mind
But it's as if I'm flying blind
because I just can't find
how to say what's on my mind

It'll be easier as time goes by
to find the reason and the why
to find the words and make them fly
All I have to do is try


But for now I have to say
creative concepts just don't stay
All my ideas are out to play
And the words get in the way

Good Morning

I have clothes to wear
I have shoes for my feet
I slept in a warm bed
Woke up to enough to eat
I have some place to be
and eyes with which to see
Luckily for me
I breathe quite normally
Monetarily rich is not my ability
My riches come from friendships and family
If given a choice I would still be me
So it's a good morning
Quite a good morning to be

Patience

Patience is a virtue
I've been told time
and time again

Even still
my patience is
wearing very thin

I'm running out of
patience for a
Saint I truly ain't

This patience thing
is truly trying
but again it's
what I must do

For patience is a Virtue
and I shall be
patient for you

No, No, NO

No No NO
I don't care to go
out of the house today

With this advanced technology
they have to have the ability
to send in the clones for me

I will stay home warm in bed
no need for sugar plums  in my head
just sleep and movies instead

No No NO
I don't care to go
out of the house today

There must be a way
I can stay home and play
and still earn a daily wage

With all this advanced technology
they have to have the ability
to send in the clones for me

Lights Out In My Neighborhood

Lights Out in my neighborhood
Total darkness
That's not good
Luckily candles
I have plenty
Luckily flashlights
I have many.

I've no computer
And no tv
Sitting in the dark
It's just me
and of course
my sweet birdie.

Listen to the neighbors
cry in dismay
Some were making dinner
Others had games to play
Some are missing favorite shows
For me it's just the way it goes.

Watching flames flicker
Listening to the night sounds
Realizing once again
How the world astounds.

Forced to sit still
Forced to stay silent
All in a way
That is quite non violent.

Lights out in my neighborhood
Not spending my night as I should
Lights out in my neighborhood
Maybe it was something good.

My Colorful Companion

Little, loud and lovely
My colorful companion
Shedding feathers everywhere
making noises without care

Little, loud and lovely
My colorful companion
Every time I open the door
There's seeds scattered on the floor


Little, loud and lovely
My colorful companion
Gnawing on a favorite perch
another way to make me work


Little, loud and lovely
My colorful companion
peeping like an electronic toy
doing tricks that I enjoy


Little, loud and lovely
My colorful companion
Makes my world a better place
Thanks for sharing time and space

Beyond the Fog

Beyond the fog
A mystery
I try and try but
cannot see
What lies ahead I long to know
Which way to travel
where do I go?

Stop trying to see so far ahead
Enjoy the current moment instead
Some things are better left unsaid

Sometimes you don't need to know
Enjoy yourself, go with the flow
Beyond the fog will still be there
But will you even care?

Flexible Without Losing Yourself

Flexible without losing yourself
Compromises within yourself
Let's do it all my way
is not an option.

Seek the sunshine of your true being
regardless of those initial feelings
Demonstrate a willingness
to bring your world into his.

 Seeing how you fit together
The roads you seek aren't just for pleasure
Knowledge and adventure
are also quite the lure.

Don't forget yourself along the way
Bend don't break is what I mean to say.

Dawning of a New Day

Too content to feel dismay
Enjoy the dawning of a new day
Trying to get work done
in order to go out and play
Luckily work can be fun
Hopefully it is today

Enjoying  every moment in time
No life is one hundred percent divine
Making the most of what I have
Is that really such a crime
Life doesn't have to always feel bad
in fact it can be quite sublime

Enjoy the dawning of a new day
Enjoy every moment in time
Working hard to enjoy your freedom
O happy days here I come
No life is one hundred percent divine
but it can be quite sublime

Valentine's Day

Making favorite foods and treats
Cleaning up after stinky feet
Washing clothes
and wiping noses
Sure I'd love it 
if you give me roses.

Being asked "How was your Day."
listening to all you say
Sleeping late
as a Saturday date
telling me that "You look great"

Tiny surprises throughout the year
Just knowing that you are here
Every day you say you care
by the lovely smile you wear

Hallmark Holiday it may be
Happy Valentine's Day
to You from Me.

Ever Wonder Why?

Ever feel as if the world is passing you by?
Ever wonder why?
Get off your self doubt and try.

Ever sit and wonder why me?
Ever question why you're not happy?
No one said it would be easy.

Ever fear to take that first step?
Ever feel that you're just inept?
Failure precedes success;this you must accept.

Ever need a helping hand?
Ever wonder just where you stand?
Remember your life's at your command.

Ever wonder if it gets better?
Ever think it's a storm you can't weather?
Come with me we'll face it together.

Embrace Your Inner Child

Embrace your inner child
let the little darling run wild
experience the fire
love the desire
don't just grow old and retire.

Embrace your inner child
let the little darling run wild
remember the energy
how the world moved quite giddily
create perfect synergy
with your current reality.

Embrace your inner child
let the little darling run wild
never give up on dreams
that's a dastardly scheme
just keep shining those sunbeams

Embrace your inner child
let the little darling run wild
experience the fire
love the desire
don't just grow old and retire.

Birthday Reality

Having a birthday makes many upset
I haven't experienced that emotion yet
In my reality
A birthday is perfect
to celebrate me

Gather your friends and family together
people who love you and  think that you're clever
appreciate the life you've been given
show off your light
don't keep it hidden

It's one day of year you should
shout loud and clear
I'm proud to be me
I'm happy here

Be glad to be you
be happy not blue
invest in yourself
you're worth it
it's true

In my reality
A birthday is perfect
to celebrate me

Gather your friends
enjoy time together
life is quite short
birthdays make it better

show off your light
be brighter than ever
However you choose
don't stray away
for that one day a year
to let the world know
you're here
Do what I say and
celebrate your birthday

Pedestrians

Pedestrians have the right of way
works in theory but it's not okay
With all the technology we have today
that rule's a disaster is what I say

Look up from your phone
watch where your going
crossing without looking
your ignorance is showing


Pedestrians have the right of way
works in theory but it's not okay
With all the technology we have today
that rule's a disaster is what I say


How can you be certain
that traffic is slowing
Pick up your head
watch where your going


Pedestrians have the right of way
works in theory but it's not okay
With all the technology we have today
that rule's a disaster is what I say

Your conversation's intriguing I'm sure
but please remember to stop at the curb
Walking and talking's a fun thing to do
but remember the road's for drivers too


Pedestrians have the right of way
works in theory but it's not okay
With all the technology we have today
that rule's a disaster is what I say

Another, Another

Another day another rhyme
Perhaps it will make make sense
at another time

Another day another poem
Perhaps the start of a prominent tome
Perchance to dream is not a crime

Another day another letter
Perhaps in time it shall get better
If it's in the grand design

Another day another word
Something somewhere that I heard
or maybe read upon a sign

Another day another rhyme
Perhaps it will make make sense
at another time

Too Soon it all Begins

Morning Monday once again
Too soon , too soon it all begins
Monday morning once again
Monday Morning, not my friend

Off to the races we all take part
Sometimes it's even done with heart
For our respective businesses it's time to depart
Whether or not we wish to start

Weekend relaxation a faded dream
Time to make a dollar the daily scheme
Fulfill the lack luster desires of the management team
Put on those smiles it's time they gleam

Working for the weekend until we find a better way
Working for the weekend long hours and short pay
Working for the weekend trying to make it day by day
Working for the weekend where we finally get to play


Morning Monday once again
Too soon , too soon it all begins
Monday morning once again
Monday Morning, not my friend

Too Early

Too early to think
Where's a warm drink
to help open up my eyes?

I just went to sleep
Yet to ringing I leap
up from my bed in surprise.

It's some grand mistake
this ringing that takes
me from where I lie

Too early to think.
Too early too blink
Too early to open my eyes.

No matter which day of week
the early hours just sneak
into reality

Not a morning creature at all
but I must heed the call
that hastens me on my way

Might be too early
and yes I'm quite surly
but it's time to begin the day
