Poor Sense

P erception, direction intention, ( lets make spiritual ) earthly..' 
O wow..' saving their strength maybe? well maybe..'
O utlaw carriage rides, in N Y C, horses would have more time; 4 T V..?
R egulation in school legislate against.. Against.?  hazards in play..?

S ave the wretched flesh from toil, ( really ?) (really?) 
E gregious intervention, yes that's it..' let people stay months in their bed
N ot to long till the muscles waste in legs, (hey why not live without living)
S ave mankind from any labour, obesity... Is just the resulting flavour
E quine mammals enjoy moderate labour, D N A I'm sure will agree..'

Funom Makama Date: 10/13/2015 7:24:00 AM longest time friend. You've just exhibited to the highest quality exactly what I have missed in here for months. Your lines are so exciting and your words are each having that second hand of drawing me back to them again and again and again irrespective of how many times I have gone through them. Its nice to be home and you are part of the reason I have this refreshing feeling. A definite 7. Cheers! Login to Reply

James Peranteau Date: 1/23/2015 11:45:00 AM Hey Joe, great Acrostic! I just want to throw my 3 cents in, in regard the plight of our equine friends who labor for our enjoyment. And please don't get me wrong here; I am from Philly, and we have carrage rides as well, yet recently my thoughts have taken a drastic turn. I just learned yesterday that three mammals suffer from,emphysema; humans, bovine and yes, you guessed it,horses ! That carbon monoxide cars produce, cause much of it in horses. They just get shot,no oxygen like us. Much love Login to Reply Joe Maverick Date: 1/24/2015 12:28:00 PM Thanks for the heads up James, writing this I was thinking of the primary route being through central park, correct if I am wrong my friend.' I would also consider the Horses being valuable to the owners would have 'care' as par 'f t c' I speaking as a man of 'former' strength, enjoyed exertion and had one morning woken to 'salt grit' on my forehead and content.' from a prior days heavy exercise, so I would think the horses would also relish flexing muscles, many thanks for the visit dear friend..'

Daver Austin Date: 12/30/2014 10:40:00 AM Obesity. A real modern problem - not only health wise but mind wise also. Are we a society that must be entertained, and by loud music as well. Good to hear from you Joe. Love, daver Login to Reply

Harry Horsman Date: 12/28/2014 5:41:00 AM Love your take on today Joe...Happy New Year Login to Reply Joe Maverick Date: 12/28/2014 7:23:00 AM Hey there Harry thanks for the new year wish, and for the comment, I find peoples ideas of What's for the better quite misguided (sometimes) I dashed this off after seeing the plight of the horse cab owners in central park N Y C, Its a bit thrown together and I changed a few words, yet its a honest enough off the cuff appraisal..'
