Premium MemberGet this show on the road

Let’s get this show on the road,
The car's still empty and we can't seem to load
Susie's applying makeup, Jake’s playing video games,
Mary’s scrolling her socials, where friends call her names.

I want to get to the airport, I want to be
clambering into an Impressionist painting of the sea
Ride the chestnut ponies, get back to something real,
My kids are in a rabbit hole, they forgot how life can feel.

(Chorus)
We're on an oven burner, like a doomed toad—
So let’s get out of here, get this show on the road,
We'll ride wild ponies, neighing by the sea.
We'll go back to living, we'll go back to free.

It helps sometimes to leave a comfort zone,
Children connected to the whole world, but to me they seem alone.
The old ways had their wisdom, and a simpler moral code,
Let’s flip this circus upside down; get this show back on the road.


The Arcade

Saturday morning
It's a beautiful day
Walking towards
my favorite hangout
A local arcade
Tons of video games to choose
I find what I like
A action-shoot
I add somes coins in
And off I go
Shooting aliens left and right
Gaining high score
I haven't lost a life yet
My score goes higher
I have a audience
They're all impress
I've reach the final boss
Time to get serious
I'm sweating, I'm focus
I lost a few lives
Only one life left
It's now or never
Boom! I did!
I've beating the game!
Everyone cheers.
I win a coupon
Coupon for a free pizza
Today, is a great day

Premium MemberOur World of Yesterday

   Petal-pushers and hula hoops
     ‘Greasy Kid Stuff’ – smear on the goop
   Baseball card gum that tastes like rubber
     That amazing stuff called ‘flubber’  

   Dino the Dinosaur and the Texaco Man
     Mumblety-peg and Kick the Can
   Sky King and Wyatt Earp
     Slowpokes you loved to slurp 
  
   All that’s gone now, replaced by video games
     ~ They all seem the same

Video Games

Oh boy, video games are so fun.
So fun, I think I’ll play another one.
To some people, video games may be boring.
But to me, they’re a world of exploration.
Sometimes, video games make you rage.
That’s when we must learn to stop and flip the page
But we don’t stop playing even when we’re mad.
And the cost of time may be bad.
But that’s when we need a break.
But just think of the world that we could make.

red tempers
lizard brains come forth
rage
too many video games

Premium MemberWe All Have Devices

We all have devices the eight-year-old happily said.
My whole family plays them through supper until time for bed.
Video games? Sure! I play Farmer Fruity Furlough Fred.
No communication with my family and no books are read.

Brains

Cool Video games 
have circuits like brain neurons,
that shock and amaze!

Recreational Hour

We will watch video and play games together, 
Using not media as a baby sitter.

Video Games and Hallucinations

After grueling sessions of
 
Guitar Hero 3,
 
I would often look to the mirror
 
to my right
 
and marvel at how
 
my vision was affected by the game,
 
with the mirror becoming twisted
 
and augmented,
 
slithering across the wall in my living room.

Premium MemberHula Hoops and Pedal Pushers

Hula hoops and pedal pushers
Baseball cards and Slinkies
Penny loafers and bobby sox
Pony tails and a dime jukebox

Where are all the fads today --
But for video games we play --
Electronic devices all the rage
Hi-tech gadgets, center stage

Look In, Look Out

i look in
they all love me
i’m surrounded by hopes and dreams
all gathered there on the screen
they all look so happy

i look out 
the sky is blue
it’s a sunny day, a lovely view
i wonder if they were here
would they be happy?

looking back down 
the window into a world that doesn’t exist 
and they walk out of frame, into the swirling mist
if they could be here with me
would we be happy?
 
I am told i am adored
empty words upon deaf ears.
because sometimes
it feels like those who know me truly
are stuck behind a screen
pixels of people who don’t exist.
i can never be with them.
so without them
with only what i have outside
can i be happy?

Yester Daze

when young I rarely played alone
many friends visited my home
among the many in my company
were heroes, cowboys. and fantasy

video games and an old arcade
I seldom went but often played
games of chance that tested me
my aim, skill, and tenacity 

I traveled to space riding a cardboard box
took an imagination minus locks
kept butterflies for a little while
with ants for friends in a domicile

then came a steel Erector set
that daddy gave, and I did sit
building cars and Ferris wheel
seeing that as a mammoth deal

riding a birthday bike
I rode the trails of a little tike
traveled the alleys sidewalks and roads
looking for pets like turtles and toads

Childhood Memories

Atari, Sega
Nintendo, Playstation One
Just reminiscing...

Premium MemberThe Relegation Review

Something happened that shook the ground 
The Hammies were victory bound 
Two goals up late in the game 
They thought the words of relegation would be tamed 
Suddenly, the seagulls started to pest 
Not allowing the Hammies a rest 
Finding the net, a goal closer the Seagulls did get 
Only a few minutes later a bright move was made not using a hand 
And the incident put more leverage into the relegation plan 
This review situation scene made West Ham yell and scream 
What is this said the marooned fan another video replay scam? 
All level and if this keep up the Londoners will spend a year with the British futbol devil 
Relegation haunts those who play at the Olympic home and this situation is like being biblically stoned 
On the bright side 
And this is no lie 
A whole new league could invade, and they could have much EPL information to trade 
Also, if West Ham makes the drop 
The losing may stop 
Leaving West Ham England Champion on top

Premium MemberUpon Watching Goals Being Taken Away

Where were you last year 
Back in relegation I did hear 
Have your beer with your cheer 
West Ham will level it soon 
Under this Friday Night moon 

Hammies gave it a try 
And it would have worked if someone did not let out a cry 
First time that the ball went into the net 
The boss on the sidelines dropped a flag it wasn’t time yet 
Offsides was the call there was a violation in the futbol law 

With one on the board the Blades needed not another score. 
Hammies played them tough trying to draw even feeling that would be enough
And then it happened, an aggressive move on the enemy side 
With a nice kick the ball was giving a ride. 

In it went and the players celebrated knowing full time was almost spent. 
Once again there was a complaint 
And after a review the athletic feat was not done by a saint. 
The Blades player had physical contact 
Which told the Hammies it was time to pack 

After watching this I must say 
It was 2-1 Hammies if the goals were okay 
But fouls were committed and the Hammies bit it 
Now that the match was done, and The Blades won 
It should be noted it was the Hammies who were the ones that made the two hours fun
