Just another woodland morning

Sounds of the woods
The birds flying by
The rabbits are hopping about
Cats moping about
Feral dogs howling
Foxes scampering
Insects buzzing
Just another serene morning

Not a difficult decision at all

When opportunity knocks
On your door
You have a decision
Follow your fears
Or open the door
Embracing what will be
That is the difficult decision
That you must make

Died a Happy Man after winning a pie-eating contest

One day, he entered a pie-eating contest

Came upon an old lamp
She rubbed it
And a genie popped out
Said she had three wishes
She wondered what

Is like a highway
You start your journey
At the beginning
And up at the end of the road
Wherever that happens to be
Is where you need to be

Sometimes
When watching the antics
Of our political leaders
Who often seem to be
Idiots in high places
Totally clueless and out of touch
I wonder if they are playing
With a full deck of cards or not?

Shoot the TV

Lately, when I watch
the morning news
I am restless
As I see all the doom
And gloom
And non-stop lies
Flooding the airways
Want to shoot the TV.

Apple Farmer's son

My father
Grew up
On an apple farm
In Yakima, Washington
He loved his garden
The only place he ever felt
Peaceful and at ease
With his apple trees.
