Best It Stands To Reason Poems

If there should be a pot hole as deep as Satan’s pit
appearing as I’m driving, I’d run right over it!

My husband’s luck is worse than mine, but we’re a package deal.
So every bad thing that befalls him, I can also feel!

One day I lost my...

There was a time when tradesmen,
Like plumbers or mechanics, were all fulltime people.
But nowadays a tradesman has to do multiple tasks, 
Mainly because their number is dwindling.
When they are not available,
Householders have to do the job themselves.
It stands to reason. 

Similarly, occupations like thieving, robbery,...

I heard a little secret
I'm not about to tell
Then again, on second thought
I guess I might as well

The greatest gal that ever was
I'm sure you would agree
Sons and daughters everywhere
Would feel the same as me

Is one who loves without a doubt
Or any strings attached
And when...

Christmas – Then and Now

Back then in the Midwest
On a cool, crisp Christmas morn
We’d all celebrate the day
That Jesus Christ was born
Sure we all love dear old Santa
And the toys that he brings
But that day really still belonged
To the mighty King of Kings
We’d dress up...

Poetry is a tree that stands alone
Till it matures fully grown
Little by little it adds from birth 
Watered by emotions  full of worth
Nourished with  words simple and  complete
Creating rhythm and internal beat 

Capable of saying things quite profound
Sublime Rhymes and ideas abound
Early...

When a child is a child…while they’re still learning who to be…
the two traits I find most appealing…are their innocence and curiosity.

Like the young son who while being tucked into bed looked up at his dad and smiled
Then asked, “Daddy, do you remember what it...

There are things in this world that,
no one can explain or completely understand.
The human ego believes that it knows everything or will…
eventually.

Over a century ago, humankind knew that, 
there would never be people living in space…
perhaps they’ve deluded themselves 
into thinking that there are?

They knew...

I started nappin’.
How’d it happen?
I was really zonked.
The sun was beatin’
Temps was heatin’
And I simply conked.

It stands to reason
In this season
Weather can be drainin’.
And when it’s muggy,
I feel sluggy;
It won’t help complainin’.

Still, supposin’
I was dozin’
That is just confusin’.
Daylight hours
Give us powers
Never meant for snoozin’.

Guess with...

I’d rather live with terrorists or break everything in my skeleton than put up with the residents I currently share this terrace with

I think I’d find it more appetising, to spend Friday night comparing house prices with a member of ISIS

The things said by these...

While exiting the sanctuary, I commended                                       ...

I mentioned I am thankful for my house, my friends and how important they are to me…
Today I’d like to add how I’m thankful for my family.

I’m thankful for my parents, my brothers, my children, my grandchildren…my wife…
I’m thankful they have miraculously found their way...

In the three preceding poems I penned quite recently
I wrote how I was thankful for my house, my friends…my family.

But house and friends and family are mere words that by themselves have no appeal…
What gives them their beauty…their allure, their significance…is our ability to feel.

I’m...

If you were told this was going to be your last day that tomorrow you’ll be leaving everything behind…I wonder, after hearing that, what thoughts pop into your mind?

Is there one person…maybe more…someone you have known…to whom you might want to write a letter or...

Was Earth created by God’s hand as told in holy writ, 
when scientific findings seem to dash the thought of it?

Is it possible that all things formed the way they are by chance? 
The odds against are infinite so, it causes second glance.
For no one...

It stands to reason…although we like to think most days are good…
that some days will be bad.
Which means there’s a good chance someone we know
or some strangers we may meet are probably feeling sad.

Some people may be lonely…some depressed…
while other’s hearts are broken.
Some people’s pain...
