Premium Member A Storm Hits Milton Creek
A storm had rolled in off the Sierra Nevada and hit Milton Creek
Townsfolk were dashing all about town for shelter they did seek
Freak storms like this were a rarity and puddles were everywhere
Some folks had never seen the like and all they could do was stare.

Most...

Premium Member When It Hits the Fan Remember
Sometimes stuff happens,
Sometimes caused by fears,
Sometimes by mistakes we make,
That put us in arrears.

No matter what caused it,
No matter who,
Pointing fingers won't help things,
Get better for you.

It won't help to argue,
And fuss and fight,
To lay blame on others,
Won't make things right.

We may lose some sleep,
And...

When Reality Hits
I don't know why I don't show my feelings
Sometimes i wonder if i have them anymore
Or am i just trying to even out the score
People treated me like nothing for so long 
I am just trying to show them how it feels
To be broken for...

Hits and Misses
7/4/16


Got to take care of business
From the start to the finish

Hits and misses
Above below and on the ridges

An unbelievable amount are religious
And superstitious

How much evidence and material lies among the fishes
And in some of the harshest conditions?
It piques curiosity and is rather suspicious

On the road...

A Heat Wave Hits the North
Heat Wave Hits the North

By Elton Camp

Heat makes the Yankees scream and shout
But they don’t know what weather’s about

For those people, who in the South reside
It can be unpleasantly hot and humid outside

But that’s the reason air conditioning is made
It’s not enough to sip mint...

Premium Member Henpecked Harold Hits Back
Doreen acted like the brain of Britain
Answering questions on the TV quiz show
She would sit and shout out the answers
Her face would have a smug rosy glow

Her poor husband Harold could do nothing right
She would moan at him all night and day
Belittling him with her...

Whinny, whinny, moo, quack
Whinny, whinny, neigh

What Reindeer clocks might say)

Even though his wife nowadays
Is lamb dressed...

Santa Hits The Snooze Button


Santa went out last night dressed as mutton 
drinking too much at the costume party.
Being a glutton woke up with a hearty 
hangover.

He turned over
and hit the snooze button one more time. 
Mrs. Santa gave him a cup of lime,
tomato juice,...

 well nearly….. of The Beatles in the UK,

Like many other viruses, they came and they went
But this one is different on so many levels

Spreading like wildfire infused in it's revel

For it's not from this Planet we've now been...
