"Somebody once told me..........
Yep what a concept......
We could all use a little........"
I'm just saying the world is changing fast. And so many folks I can't imagine a world without have already up and left..
So merry late Christmas happy early new year
To all my friends and family I wish you joy and beer I mean cheer.
If there is a talk we planned im still coming I sware
If you need a hand I'm getting older I need at least a week to plan ......the escape.. I mean the date
If you are trying to party for the new year
That has not been me for sometime
Why go swimming when water is chummed
I can set on the sand and drink fine
So heads up chest out, always forward never back
And if you come to a rough part on the path
Don't slow down hit the gas the faster you go
The smoother it feels it may pop a tire but
You be through the fire before you start to slow.
If you come to the end of your trail
Smile, and show no fear. this was the agreement
And we must all honor the deal
But God bless you and all your achievements
Each and everyone of you is loved and lived and that my friends is how we close the deal.
The Elected
Sharks leave the water to campaign on land
Drink Champagne at political parties
Draw blood; circle around, troll for enemies
Take contributions with a wink
Tease young girls, kiss babies, follow rules
To the point of razor sharp teeth
Follow schools of fish
Delicious to eat
Sharks don’t just swim. They float
Rainy days don’t help the votes
Bait dangles on hooks
Sharks steal it when no one looks
Change to gentlemen in a gesture
Genuflect when given gifts
Run, (though they have no feet) at the smell of money
Chummed up by buddies in muddied waters
Pray for a cause to chew the fat
Call Jaws if all else fails
Sharks fly when not swimming to victory
The media counts on them to lie
They lie in wait to strike
At the elected hour
When they rise to power
Sharks love the taste of cowards
