i did have to comb
what had been left of my dome
while i would be home
had been lead astray
God told us we should obey
Use underarm spray
much sugar with spice
had been found in paradise
without sin or vice
with great precision
biden did make decision
need more religion
rather than trashing
biden gave out compassion
which he would ration
when in pinch would feel
needed to have sex appeal
biden be big deal
we know God is wise
and have heard to our surprise
bible did devise
God would break the code
our sins were a heavy load
make sure lawn is mode
(gifts on us bestowed)
after taking knap
God said we should cut the crap
also shut big trap
God gave me big broom
so i could sweep off my tomb
flowers bloom by bloom
when in chair would sit
by lightening bolt had been hit
needed first aide kit
saw banged up fender
had been made by male gender
quite a big bender
The beauty of this nation is enhanced by the Unicorn,
Captivating kilts are here made and worn!
Encyclopedia Britannica was born here,
You cannot find King penguin Nils Olav elsewhere!
The invention of modern kilt was done here by Thomas Rawlinson,
Beautiful tartan cloth is used for it and admirable pleating is done .
Golf's birthplace is Scotland,
It shares the border of the south with England.
Scotland's Knap of Howar is a historical tourist attraction,
Must visit the place once for its amazing tradition!
With a slight glow of early morning sunlight
a single flower-bud unfolds bright
from its green protective wrap
to serrated knap
revealing
soft pink
appealing
velvet petals of
a carnation, Mother's Love
with a fresh spicy clove-like perfume
coursing through benignly and at last, consume

Could Never Train or Teach Trump
Trump, we could never train or teach,
Communicate to or ever try to preach;
Wit who is dim;
Always so grim;
What we did decide was him impeach.
Jim Horn
Just finished taking my knap and
woke with a poem in my mind.
I woke and poem was in my mind,
Which I thought I had left behind;
Moving moment,
He then sent;
What I wish was Trump did resign.

About These Three Things I Pray
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWQEUzOACm4
Clearly about these three things I pray. They are
fear of falling asleep and taking another knap,
writing poems without personal pronouns and
of course being a man Mother's Day. These
are the three things that this poem was
written about.
Will I ever conquer my fear of taking a knap?
To me, it must have been a total mishap
Causing many people to have cried and cried
Because my poems might not be personified.
Why would I be a poet who is world renown?
And write poems without a personal pronoun
Where will my poems start at and finally fall
If either never used any or even none at all.
Another day for many mothers God has made
And as I sit in shade and also frequently laid
Why should my bright God again really bother
He let Adam be born first before being a father.
If you didn't laugh at this one you have to be
totally nuts or still trying to figure out where
you lost them at.
James Thomas Horn, Retired Poet
Oh and one more thing I pray
My poem will be poem of the day
each and every day.
Oh, and another PS.
Add another category for cute and clever.
For A While
Heavy rain again has started to fall
In outside furniture will have to haul
And find missing things I may want
For several hours may have to hunt.
How hard lately it has been raining
And down my spouts it all is draining
While clouds in the sky are gray and thick
Are all so wet whichever you will pick.
All animals lavish and love rain thoroughly
Even friendly frogs make music merrily
Whole world appears to be on arduous trial
So I'll fall asleep and knap for a while.
