Here'ssss Johnny....

One by one my icons are tumbling,falling
Fading so gently into the night
Remember when their star shone so bright?
I remember so many nights where laughter
would fill my gloom with the mimicking of
comedy's calling.

Lord in heaven must need some comic relief
"Karnac" reigns again and foretells some
future belief.
Our time here on earth is brief, we have
had the best of the lot...Gleason, Benny,
Hope, just to name only a few, now add
the name of Carson too.

Sayng goodbye to a friend is hard, no matter
how you try.
We'll be saying "Goodbye Johnny" with tears
as we cry.

Bye....see you again my friend....

Signs Signs Everywhere A sign

Signs, Signs all the time, directing our way
Making it easier to frolick and play
There's one to STOP and one to GO - its
unbelievable the variety - WOW look at so an so....

Now they say that everyone's born under a
distinct, separate sign....
Used to be a Yuppie thing..walk in a bar
and get asked immediately what you are.
Natal horoscopes, full Sun Signs..oh my!
For playful fun I think they are fine.

The reason I chose the sign above is simple.
I was born on the cusp, meaning I have to
combine two signs which is more than ample.
So showing a sign going in both directions
portrays a very definite personality trait that
needs correction!

Given a problem with two solutions, gee is it
hard to choose.

Trying To Do A cowboy Poem Giddy Up!!

Howdy Pardner....pull up a rocker & set awhile
You are a long tall drink of water in my eyes
Just you sit yourself down and put your boots
up on the rail...nothing fancy about your style
I see that you have a Colt 45...

The boy will take your horse to the stable,
here, have a slug of what's in this jug...
It will cure what ails ya and if it don't
you'll still feel that you are able.

Moonshine certainly does the deed...coming in
from the range all hurting and such
Boy, go to town on that stuff and you won't
feel much!
The hotel has a room & bath for ten cents
a night...and they put on a pretty good feed.

Now, remember we don't take kindly to strangers
making a fuss
Mind your manners and behave else the sheriff
will have you in jail with or without a cuss.
Yep, that's a picture of our good sheriff, he
keeps peace and order in our town
It makes good horse sense not to make him
frown....

Just the same enjoy the town....

Changes

Sometimes Changes come around
Doesn't always mean that they are sound
Humanity being what it is cannot refrain
From making changes that are a pain

Okay, sometimes we can be in a rut
And we find that we need change in order to strut
But when something works very well
You have to stop and say "What the h  ll!"

You think by now that people would know
that what you reap is what you sow
So much nonsense set in words causes a flurry
so much so that now the future is blurry.

Martin Luther King Day

We always fall back on quick sayings, as if they will take
the edge off the pain
They say "The Good Die Young" but what do we gain?
He lived his life, spoke his mind and told the truth
Before God & country he swore that he had climbed
the mountain...to see the "promised" land...his belief
his only proof.

That someone filled with hate & rage could end such a life
is really an awful shame.
Forty years have slowly passed, his message still lasts
freedom rings, the mountain top is closer still...we turn
inwards to look for blame.
