Helpful Rooster

There once was a farmer named Joe.
Who knew how to handle a hoe.
     A nice feathered cock,
     Who knew how to rock,
Did help him his nice seed to sow.

This young farmer who's first name was Joe
Could hoe quite a bit in a row.
     He had a great shock.
     While feeding his cock.
The chickens his seed helped to sow!

Premium Member Unsolicited Advice

Unsolicited advice
against its storm I brace
Showing no fear or shame
as they get up in my face

In other words ...

They tell me to zig
when I'm zagging
"Hurry up man!"
when I'm lagging

"That's not the way
I'd do it!" they opine
"Better listen to me,
get to it!" every time

Hmm, if that's true
then I'll know
just what to do
when I am you!

More precisely ...

When I do what you say
in my own peculiar way
You stand
beaming with pride
taking credit

If I dare to complain
you declare me insane
then expose me to
ridicule on Reddit
(You don't regret it—
there, I've said it!)

Now I had my say
what will you do?
Hopefully MYOB
not misconstrue

"We just told you
the best way to go
You must listen to us
don’t you know?”

Thanks! If that's true
then I'll know
just what to do
when I am you!

As odd as that sounds
it must be true
I'll be doing sooo much better
when I am you!

A Helpful Person

If you are crying,
I won't leave you lonely.
If you are crying,
I will make you happy.

If a poor is in hunger, 
Don't leave her to die.
If a blind is helpless,
Don't say her goodbye.

If a helpless ask a question
and the words are in sky,
Please CLARIFY!!!

Helpful Rain

The rain that falls on this cold spring day
Makes me grateful for life, makes the blues go away

As I get older, life is more clear
Rain doesn’t mean sadness, but that a newness is near

Drip Drop, Drip Drop: puts me at ease
The sun behind the clouds, and the green in the trees

You shouldn’t let rain be the gloom in your day
Let it be the reminder; flowers are coming in May

Heavenly Laurie

Eternally Lovely now,
The Bride of my Dream of Gold.
And rolling down grassy slopes,
Whose smiling heart ne’er grew old.

Eternally Helpful, too
The Braid in my burgeoned beard
That round my loquacity ropes
And sees that I’m rightly reared.

Eternally wise and kind,
The Bread of His Life and strength
The Child of the King of Hopes
The Lifeline of endless length.

She rides through the ethers now
E’er calling forth clouds of snow
The crying child, helps, as he copes
Wherever his troubles may go.

And so, I have finished my tale,
Except the Divinest part
The poor fool who grumps and mopes,
She JOLTS by her Heavenly Art!

Helpful Covernsation

Only for tonight if only for moment for only for few seconds would you be mines,

If i am to wait what moment process that court in section it was all motion,

I can see the list file up on the desk the next the next miss me note,

Only for tonight if only for moment for only for few seconds you where mines,

Crowd the passion of joy passing me,

What direction empty shadows to believe,

Moment surpass decimals what upsetting to believe,

If I am to witness patterns out day time then name the date,

If a river had a currents how would it flow?

Only for tonight if only for moment for only for few seconds would you be mines,

Ride of a spin a deep in a spin to take off this rocket love,

Darkest of day love felt on the low hope of hat cater me home.

Some Helpful Counsel During Hard Times

Some Helpful Counsel During Hard Times

By Elton Camp

If a financial emergency should unexpectedly arise
There’s an easy solution right there before your eyes
Payday loan stores are everywhere and do what’s right
To get you get out of whatever is your own fiscal tight

As to the interest the places charge, don’t make a fuss
You will have to pay what they ask, so no need to cuss
If your debt you can’t pay in full as soon as its due.
The place will make it very easy the loan to renew

Maybe some of your extravagant goods you can drop
For a loan at the friendly neighborhood pawnshop
You can always excuse it with the hopeless dream
That your loan you can repay and articles redeem

You claim that you paid five thousand for that ring?
 At the pawnshop though, only a hundred will it bring.
If you arrive even one day late to redeem your gold
You are likely to find that for a profit it has been sold

So, my wise advice is, to stay out of financial water deep
The help of payday loans and pawnshops you must seek
My friend, if this writing you have very carefully read
I hope that you have decided to do the opposite instead

Helpful Rain

If I could cry, I would today
Like the rain that falls on this cold spring day

Drip drop, drip drop: puts me at ease 
The sky is soaking up my sorrow and crying for me

Why can't the sun be just as effective?
Soak it up and dry it out, like a sorrow soaking towel

Instead of soaking up and pouring down
Right back on top of my brow

So pour me a hot cup of honey tea 
And I'll sit at my window and watch my sorrow rain over me

The Closet

Is there a place where I could go
Where no one else would ever know
A place to share my all when I pray
And no one could here what I say

Yes, I have come to know of such a place
Where God extends His amazing grace
When you enter, you may shut the door
And share your heart of all you have 
in store

Premium Member Helpful Sounds Redone

Tinkling, twinkling, violin picking, harp stringing, 
 light the blue sky, the snow on rocky cliffs
 the heaviness of his lies weigh like the rocks
 on a cold empty hill in winter 
 the sounds thick and sticky
 how the tinkling violin strings call out
 the harps lightness raises my heart 
 and lightens the heaviness of his  
 spiteful soul stinging, while hearing News
 twinkling sounds drive away his angry darts

Premium Member not helpful honey

My dog smells like sewer
He runs toward me like a freight train
Jumps into my recliner and lollygags all over me

Now we both smell like sewer
I coax him into the bathroom
He is stronger than I am

No way I am getting him into the tub
my husband is yelling not to let him stay in the house
help I do not need
