Once Glad Tiding

Once Glad Tiding We thought what he did was only experimental But turns effects he had were monumental On whole world and what it would experience And regarding plan now is running interference. Absolutely no one could do better than that I even remember once when to go scat What you had been doing really bothered me Which was not the way for things to be. He utterly, literally went into seclusion And many people found this to be amusing But he would wallow in work and continue on Until all of his energy was spent and gone. Relief from any problems is no longer in site Until according to things heard the other night A permanent power system had been put in So all problems would never be back again. He then trudged on because duty did call And one day dressed himself up as a doll Which we all thought to be quite ***** All of a sudden into dark night did disappear. When we left and visited place much later Close to shore we say another alligator That you rind in Florida where they now remain And we ended up having a horrible hurricane. Both the hurricane and alligator had it out Then about Brady they ended up with doubt And Brady's twilight was about to near When in Miami they discovered all of his gear. Being such a rule breaker and even a poach Who else would really want him as a couch After that, he turned into a beach bum Where he is the only one who was welcome. When what he did had been over and done And he ended up having to go on the run Now all of his time he has been bidding The once glad tiding disappeared into hiding. Will he ever come back again is the question. James Thomas Horn, Retired Veteran and Poet

Maybe they should start playing in Denmark where things that are rotten seem to happen. I should also add crutch along with couch. Back to typing which I hate doing. Writing up in my composition book if fine but typing, FORGET IT. Buttttttt, it has to be done. Jim Horn
