Noah! I Say NOAH!

And God said: NOAH!

You gotta WHOA!

Stop what you’re doin’

And pay strict attention

I say, Noah, you’re the only one I trust

But don’t sit still or you’re gonna rust

Let me set this firmly in your brain,

Soon I’m gonna send a mighty rain

‘Cause all the folks down there

Are screwin’ up just everywhere

So, I aim to leave’em behind

In a great big bind

And it’s up to you to save the rest

I’m counting on you to do your best

Here’s my plans, now go build me an ark

Fill it with animals starting with aardvark

It’ll be a floating menagery bereft of style

But you won’t even care after a while

You see, it sure beats treadin’ water in tights

After my punishing rain of forty days and nights

Humanity

Some people's humanity
Is tied to their vanity
Where's the sanity?

Beauty is Skin Deep

"Ya know, honey, beauty is only skin deep."
she said as she piled her stuff in a big heap

Lets see, there was a wig and eyelashes
Hearing aid, falsies and stylish eyeglasses

When her dentures hit the floor
I asked, "Is there anything more?"

She said "What ya see is what ya get"
I said "After all these years, I love ya yet!"

What it is...

In Real-estate it's:

Location, Location, Location.


In Racing it's

Timing, Timing, Timing!


In Life it's:

Live it, Live it, Live it!!


So, live it to the hilt!!!

The Sun

Even from 93 million miles
The sun still brings plenty of smiles

Living

Haven't you heard?
Spread the word

Live's more worth living
When you're giving

Need a Boost?

Tell someone something
Truly nice about themselves

And watch their
Positive reaction

The Old Veterans

These men are some of a special breed
They come to the hospital in time of need

These are the guys who fought in WWII
Many times they bring their faithful wives too

And sometimes it's only the wives
Who tell of the men in their lives

They tell of hardships their men endured long ago
So that they and each of us, that evil, could forgo

The wives speak with tearful concern
Over husband's poor health they discern

For they know their gallant guys still pay the price
For the horrors of war they endured in fire and ice

We honor their service, behind, or at the front
We wish we could fulfill their every need or want

But mostly we thank them for what they've done
As we remember their sacrifices in a war they won

They were a part of our nations might
As it fought against evil to keep things right

And so to them we continue to say
Thank you, each and every day

This was written for a WWII vet that came
with his wive for an Echocardiogram. But it
honors all those who have fought for our country
from the Revolutionary War through our current
conflicts. Know a vet? Meet or see a vet?
Thank him.

A Single Day

You have just one day to live.

Will you use it to take or give?

What is important now?

Not your furrowed brow!

Appearances fade from view

With this challenge so new.

And so give it sincere thought!

Now, consider what you ought!

A single day can have an impact.

And that, my friend, is truly a fact.

Would you be John Wilkes Booth that day,

Trying to change a nation in his own way?

Or Bob Hope, still using humor as he lay,

On his deathbed through his very last day?

Each one’s life made a difference.

Neither one straddled that fence.

You don’t have to be great,

And it may not be your fate.

But today’s thoughtful decision

May lead to a great new vision.

So, remember, if you will:

To use each day to its fill.

About Life

The longer you live...
The shorter it gets

God designed our bodies
With built in wear dates

So we'll be ready and willing
To leave them

When He calls for us.

The Morning Was Cool...

The morning was cool... There was a heaviness in the air
It was almost like a cloud had dropped in and settled there

But it was only fog that had drifted in overnight from the bay.
Stealthy tendrils were starting to dissipate in the light of day.

A cat prowled quietly around its edge
Like she was traversing a narrow ledge

A garbage truck lumbered from can to can
Tended by one solitary carefree man

The scent of bacon wafted from an open window
As the first rays of sun cast a beautiful red glow

And though you could cut the fog with a knife
These were the signs the city was coming to life

And thus began a spring day
Down on San Francisco Bay

Life Comes At You

Life comes at you
One day at a time

You can make the
Most of it that way

Nuevo Old Age

When you get those first
Sprinkles of Wrinkles

A Tribute To Bob Hope

His fists were powder puffs
His punchlines were deadly

His name was Hope

He came, he saw
He conquered

His name was Hope

He left 'em rolling
In the aisles

His name was Hope

Now in the perfect hereafter
There'll be perfect laughter

His name is Hope...

Thanks for the memories!

Free Your Feelings

You keep your feelings in a box
Protected with big ol' locks

No one gets in without a pass
Not even a great lookin' lass

For the world is tough
It'll treat you rough

But you won't be scared
If you're well prepared

So take a good look
See what makes you cook

Examine your issues
See what lights your fuse

Find out what you can do
When someone pushes you

You may well find
When you prep your mind

Your feelings are controlled
When your thoughts are patrolled

There is One you can trust with this part
But you have ask Him into your heart.

And just like me
It will set you free

Coffins

Mini hotel rooms for infinity
Expensivly built for you and me

Providing solitude for just
Our final return to dust

A monumental waste of money
That seems ridiculously funny

When I'm gone I won't care
What happens to my hair

And that tattoo on my chest
Will disappear just like the rest

So spend my coffin money on a party
For them as is still hale and hearty

The Noise

I heard a noise early in the day
That made me cringe as I lay

Right in the middle of a yawn
I heard the cracking of the dawn!

What I would seek... if.

Ah! Sweet repose!
If I could only doze!

A bird in the hand
was too slow!

Fog

Fog is God's way of telling us
to slow down!

Over There

The grass may be greener
But ya still gotta cut it!

Low carb is here
Check the beer

Most diets are a fad
Some say they're bad

Simon sez "All things in moderation
Could result in a thinner nation."

When your garden, looking so new,
Says with pride: "This bud's for you!"

Character

Character

Char-acter

Let us consider what makes up a word.

Char… well, that could relate to care or charm,

Something that each of us has a measure of,

And that we should dole out liberally with each encounter

Acter… (or actor) how we act on a daily basis,

Not just because we want to impress others,

But because we want to protect what we perceive as us,

The internal person

Character… our true character is more important than money,

As has been said by various icons in many fields

And so,

As we go through each day

Let us be careful to say

Words that will be true

Not just out of the blue

Ones that will not damage

Our character or our image

For once a word is uttered

It can no longer be shuttered.

Simon Stargazer III

Life

To get along in life
Avoid Strife

Imagination

A picture may be
Worth 1000 words
But the imagination
Is endless!

Luck: There's Good and Bad, But...

The fact is, it’s serendipity

That affects you and me.

So look ahead, be prepared

And from luck you might be spared.

Time to Burn?

Time to Burn?

Tweedlee Dee and Tweedlee Dum

Were doing their daily ‘ho hum’

And by that I mean to say…

It was their bored time of day

You ever get that? When work slows down

And you’d much rather be out on the town?

Why don’t you take a spell to think…

Is there something to set down in ink?

You could think of a routine for down time

Something that wouldn’t even cost a dime

You could get ahead of the game

By doing something so very tame

A glass half full
Or half empty

Still has enough left

Human Nature

Human Nature


Sometimes
it's

Less human
and
More nature!


In the heat of the moment
we need to slow down

and think before we
engage the mouth

We need to remember that
we are supposed to
be above

the animals that attack
with their teeth and claws
in order to survive

In order for our relationships to survive
we need to do this.
