Wisdom From A Stool
You might think that I’m a fool, a-sittin’ on this stool, But I ain’t broke no rule, and I never have been cruel. Hard Knocks is my school, Bud Light is my fuel, and I’m as stubborn as a mule. I don’t know so very much, and I never had the touch, This barstool isContinue reading “Wisdom From A Stool”
Torches
They held their torches way up high, no one thought to ask them why. They rallied for their nation’s pride, they sought to put their loss aside. They disparaged those who deviate, but proclaimed they had no hate. They saw the world through their own eyes, and thought themselves extremely wise.Continue reading “Torches”
Leavin’ Outa’ Town
Leavin’ outa’ town, don’t know where I’m bound, ain’t no sense to frown, it’s been good to be around. Don’t call me on the phone, I just need to be alone, my cover has been blown, ain’t the first time that I’ve flown.

Unclimbed Mountains
Unclimbed mountains beckon me, to a place I once roamed free. Miller Peak and the Carr Falls, the echo off the canyon walls. Trapsing through an Aspen grove, such a place for me to rove. Red-tailed Hawk on lifted wings, listen as the wild bird sings. Pure spring water from aContinue reading “Unclimbed Mountains”
Thoughts and Prayers
He had a sweet smile, you could see for a mile. Her ponytail just danced, like pixies that pranced. Not a cross word, was ever heard. Their sanctum serene, away from the mean. Now cards and letters and prayers, tell us that somewhere someone cares. Flower bouquets so fragrant andContinue reading “Thoughts and Prayers”
Banned in Florida
Our library shelves are bare, with no books to share, don’t you say it’s not fair, ‘cuz we don’t even care. We won’t admit that our state waited so long to integrate. it’s not so bad that we hate, those who got here late.

Ketchup
Ketchup Ketchup on the wall. What a way to fall! He can’t get out of it, He threw a hissy fit. It’s never a good look, When they throw the book. A crying shame it is, False records for his biz. Stormy ain’t his type, After all the hype. If he don’t make his bail,Continue reading “Ketchup”
Half A Mile From Lone Pine
Half a mile from Lone Pine, a thousand more to go, This lonesome old highway sure makes time go slow. Crossed the hot Mojave and the High Sierra range, The scenery is different, but I still need a change. Waitress at the truck stop said the road ahead is good, Said somedayContinue reading “Half A Mile From Lone Pine”
