Premium MemberDog Chases Tail

Dog chases his tail round and round,
was he spell bound?
He looks very funny,
like a wound up dog bunny.
Did you ever feel like this crazy dog?
Are you living in a fog? 
Maybe you are asking where am I going?
Is life unknowing?
Could we be chasing our own tail?
Take a deep breath and have a cold ginger ale.

Premium MemberDear Federal Senators, I am asking you to protect Medicaid because

our home care workers would lose their essential care taking jobs and their
clients would also lose their necessary services.

If you are on Medicaid, you should send your own cards to your Senators.
They are more interested in providing unnecessary tax cuts for billionaires
who don't really need them instead of protecting the very best interests
of lower income

Premium MemberAsking My Granddaughter About Her Major in College

I do not have a smidgeon of an idea
Speaker is my teenage granddaughter Rhea
I thought you were a senior in college, I say.
She nods her head, agreeing straight away.

Don’t you have to declare a major before senior year?
If I knew you would hound me, I would not have come here.
Seriously, Rhea, what is your major?

Oh, you were asking yourself too?

Now, when one of you asks questions, 
I observe what is on the desk, 
if there is something left already from someone else.

Slowly I grabbed my book intentionally, 
but still looked in deeply.
Smile? I didn't feel like it.
What was there to smile for?

Suddenly you said:"It's alright, he can have mine", while smiling.
Now I understood why

Upon receipt of this paraphrase whenever it visits upon your person--free of dire straits and in trepidation, its infamous adage, "Anything that can go wrong will go wrong," subject to limits. 

I've equivocated or tossed-up similarities of circumstances and their eventual outcome via two terse verse coursing, about a couple of other postings below this

i've got a tattoo of a butterfly on my right cheek

Premium MemberAsking of You

How do you view the world ?

    Is your sight through eyes of your own ?

        Does the vision come by clear and sober ?

            Or is it cluttered, needing sharpened & honed ?

Why are bush babies eyes open wide?

Why do lions live in a pride?

Why do Elephants have long trunks but short tails?

Why is there a blow hole on top of whales?

Why doesn't a snakes blink?

Premium MemberAsking Me For Directions

Where is the twisted human club?
I did not know, so here’s the rub….
I saw them crammed in a cranny down the street.
Their petootsies were showing, it was not sweet.

Now when people ask I send them there.
But they left years ago, without a care.
I still like giving them a wild goose chase.
Serves them right for asking

These are some things as a child you might ask.

If batman is good why wear a mask.

Where do babies come from how do planes fly

Do people know when its their time to die.

Why do birds fly when penguins have to walk.

Do animals understand the conversation when
Humans talk

This is the last thing thats confusing me

If santa
