A Lovely Day
Is here to stay
Another date
Fresh start, clean slate
Choices we make
Turns that we take
Not always known
Dealt on our own
We plan, we hope
We brace and cope
And often doubt
How life plays out
Have trust and faith
In Day’s embrace
And keep it cool
Play by the rule
(The glass - half full)
We can’t foretell
Our fortune’s spell
As timelines chime
Day at a time
I simply say
Have a Nice Day!

Humanity has banned swearing
i don't know what the coitus to do
Stubbed my toe
Blancmange does not seem to do the trick
The mammary gland in my work
such a coituser too
This plaster born out of wedlock
Doesn't give a phytoplanton
Manures hit the fan
Cannot understand
Nobody tries
Even beneath the gentleness of words
the truth sometimes lies
just call to say
as you go your way
work or play
HAVE A
NICE DAY
as you go
take it slows
to you too
i say
HAVE A NICE DAY
you all lovey too
love all you do
this i won't say
as you go your way
HAVE A
NICE DAY
I went to school,
Learned the stuff;
Did my residency,
Suffered enough.
Got my license,
Put up my shingle.
Can I pay my loans?
Will the register jingle?
Six patients an hour,
Ten minutes each;
Assembly-line medicine:
No time to teach patients
What to do,
So they can benefit
From what I learned in school.
Gotta move on
Into the next room;
Another case of sniffles!
For this was I groomed?
I'm not saving the world,
Just saving myself;
The wolf's at the door,
My dream's on the shelf.
So it's back to business,
Better not tarry;
Gotta make a living:
I plan to get married
Before I am buried
H-A-N-D!
Ciao!
Always Have A Nice Day
A Birthday Card did decide to send
But his life had already reached an end
For heaven what will be the address?
Am not sure or know I must confess.
Why should a card only have sadness?
About person I loved and now do miss
Better life they found and are leading
What in my card should I be pleading?
Thank you gracious God for accepting him
Lights are bright and never do grow dim
Oh, and one last thing I forgot to say
In heaven they always Have A Nice Day. (HAND)

hope everything well
you ring my bell
as you go your way
HAVE A NICE DAY
to you and all you do
as you go your way
this i won't say
HAVE A NICE DAY
hi this not goodby
just won't say
as you
go on your way
have
a nice day
cursing and swearing
with a mouthful of burnt toast
I put my foot to the floor
but it's no use
it's raining
both headlights are brocken
an indicators missing
and the wipers don't work
"START DAMN IT, START", I scream
turning the key
dressed in my cleanest dirty shirt
ketchup on the sleeve
old faded green tie
and a freshly wrinkled pair of pants
I see Mr Rogers sitting on the front porch
all the buttons on his shirt are missing
exposing his fat belly and ripped shorts
he smokes a cigarette
and yells at the kids
who run about the yard screaming
I keep turning the key
but it's no use I'm late for work
I've spent five years working for the company
long hours, migraine headaches, stomach ulcers
no shift allowance or medical coverage
and now this
short-term contracts and a cut in pay
suddenly the engine starts
I back onto the street
and slowly drive away
Mr Rogers stands up scratches his crotch
then gives me the finger and yells
"Have a Nice Day"
