A Storm Hits Milton CreekA 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...

When It Hits the Fan RememberSometimes 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 HitsI don't know why I don't show my feelings

Hits and Misses7/4/16
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 NorthHeat 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...

Henpecked Harold Hits BackDoreen 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...

Even though his wife nowadays
Is lamb dressed...

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,...

But this one is different on so many levels
It mutates, it breeds amidst cultural surrounds
Spreading like wildfire infused in it's revel
Once it hits you, there's simply no turning back
For it's not from this Planet we've now been...
