Poem Title:
Poem
I like to watch skeins of geese flying in the autumn sky, And I like the smell of frying bacon and luscious cherry pie! I like to see the sun tinting Pikes Peak's crown in the early morn, And the glorious Colorado sky as the sun ends its daily bourne! I like to feel the tug of a rainbow trout on my fishing line, And graceful garlands of snow adorning a ponderosa pine! I like quiet evenings with my spouse nigh a warm and glowing fire, Where we reminisce and dream of things for which we would aspire! I like family reunions with my kids, grandkids, uncles and aunts, And this may sound curious, but I like sharp creases in my pants! I like to sit on the patio to muse and watch the squirrels at play, And I like to go to church for inspiration, fellowship and to pray! I like to listen to classical music or bury my nose in fascinating book, And take leisurely evening strolls along a rushing mountain brook! I like ice cream, tater chips, meatloaf, Brussels sprouts and chicken fried, And I like the American flag that I shall always salute with pride! I like it when the Denver Broncos and the Colorado Rockies win! (But, alas, neither team is doing that well, much to my chagrin!) I like to hear the rolling thunder and rain gently falling on my roof, And the rhythmic clip-clop upon the pavement of a horse's hoof! I like barbeques and fireworks in the park on Independence Day, And the mulitude of stars winking at me from the Milky Way! I like the smell of roses and the rejuvenation of April showers, And I like work - I can sit and watch it for hours and hours! I like the charm and beauty of a little child's beguiling grin. I like Laurel and Hardy and Jack Benny with his squawking violin! I like to socialize with folks with can-do attitudes and high ambitions! (I like most everything I reckon, 'cept sloven schmucks and politicians!) Robert L. Hinshaw, CMSgt, USAF, Retired © All Rights Reserved
