Premium Member Ignoring Ignorance

There wouldn't be haters if you ignored negative admirers
Are you really expecting honesty from a person who's a liar 
Stay positive and expect the unexpected 
Ignoring ignorance keeps you unaffected 
You leave the house knowing you good in that dress
Yes the insecure are going hate so just ignore that mess
If most of us ignored ignorance road rage wouldn't be a success 
Those who do things just for attention would fail in their quest
Ignorant people fuel their fire when they gain the attention of others
Why else does a spoiled child act out in public with it's mother
If you don't like ignorance then why do you stare at it
Listening to a person talking to himself knowing he's a drug addict
Have you seen the way people talk too loud just to be noticed
They would feel like a nobody if you would keep your focus
Ignorance becomes outraged when it doesn't get the attention it wants
Violence can't ignite or escalate if you ignore someone's taunts
Half the ignorant are defeated when you don't show a reaction 
I ignore ignorance because i cant stand it with a passion

The best medicine is laughter


Not on your nelly is telly better than laughs from your belly

That roar rocks you to the core before long you’ve a sore jaw 

Stand up tour or panto to the fore has always worked before  

Not just one more but an encore in store of many a guffaw

Pure & raw soul does soar but appreciate I’m no Shelley

 
Feeling down through thick and thin then best way to begin 

Wriggle from a frown your mouth wiggles become a giggle

Head in a spin again after too much time with your ken & kin

Things get under your skin it’s not a sin to well crack a grin


Tipple & tucker don’t buckle me ol mucker succour to suckle

No sandwich of the knuckle nothing as pukka as a chuckle


While we all know the best denial to rile vile bile in style

A sage’s way to turn the page engage with road rage

To bewitch & beguile for a wee while is well just to smile


After a rafter of everything dafter whether grafter or drafter

Din of chagrin within a guffaw, smile, giggle, chuckle, grin 

Will always win as it is shoe in the best medicine’s laughter

The Benefits of Retirement In Winter

I am happy to be a retiree in Winter,
It couldn't have worked out better,
With no need to feel bitter,
When it starts to get colder.

I can go to bed before the heat goes out of the Sun
And not get up till the heat comes back again,
So I can feel as right as rain.

I can drive at times when road rage,
Is off the page,
And traffic flows at this stage,
So I can get home before I age.

I can stay on the phone and complete a transaction,
To my satisfaction,
And negate any company inaction.

My shopping is done when the fast lane is open,
Staff give me lots of attention,
And car parks not usually taken.

I can enjoy a cup of tea when not on the run,
While sitting in the sun,
And watching others not having fun.

I can plan my day,
With no boss having a say,
Or worrying about traffic delay.

I can have my breaks anytime,
And can even go overtime,
Without fear of a fine.

So why wouldn't I find winter,
A perfect partner,
For a short Encounter, 
Before the temperature gets any colder.

Winter is the perfect time to feel guilt free,
In not rushing out of bed for a fee,
Until I feel like a cup tea,
With a newspaper or a book on my knee.

New Years Revolution

New Years Resolution?
Heck no, I don't care

Making time to suffer
I see no reason there

Eat a little less
lose the sugar and the salt

Eat a good dinner
that's what i was taught

Try to get some exercise
maybe lose some weight

Really, I have no problem
with my plus size waist

Slow down with your drinking
it's really not that cool

How do I have a real good time
if I don't act a fool

Stop that crazy driving
cut down on the road rage

If they don't want to drive
they better get out of my way

You need to stop smoking
it's bad for your health

You need to stop talking
and worry about yourself

Journey To Tranquility

Journey to Tranquility

As I nestle into the seat of my
Far from new mode of transport
I steel myself for the journey ahead
In my mind I plan out the route for this day

I'm sure bumper to bumper was invented here
There will be that slow crawl up the parkway
This will turn into the raceway as we hit the expressway
Where I let her go

Road rage is the new adage
So one must be aware not to stare or glare
This gauntlet must be run to arrive alive
Success here brings relief 

As we turn onto a highway of only two lanes
Gains can be made though watch for deer
Home after home turns into farm land
As the lights of the city disappear

Another left, then one more with pavement
Becomes gravel for many a mile
Don’t go too far there it is on the right
A smile appears as it comes into sight

The scurry of a fox across the driveway
The chirp of birds as you exit the car
The smell of a lake and its shore
You are at the cottage and tranquility galore

It is worth the drive every time.

Road Rage

I remember 
Your anger 

The way your neck muscles 
Stood out 
As you cursed my name 

You showed up 
Uninvited 
with your pants 
Lower than your hips 
Yet 
You somehow paced with self assurance 

You circled 
The parking garage 
Chain smoking 
Making the concrete ground 
Your ashtray 

Your heavy clothes 
In summer’s heat 
Made it easy 
To hide 
a closed fist 

As I allege 
The broken headlight 
With your name 
in the same sentence 

From my heart beat
My jaw popping 
My hazard lights clicking 
Your rap music blasting 
through my speakers 

I can’t remember 
what noise 
Stopped first 

Or why 
You held me close 
In your arms 
Afterwards 

But I drove you home 
quietly reaching out to you 
To hold your hand 

Desperately 
Wanting 
your warmth 
your affection 

Instead of suffocating  
The thoughts 
Of you 2 nights before 

Shivering under my sheets 
Against my body 
As the drugs wore off 

But I stayed awake 
To make sure 
You fell asleep

And also admire 
How much I loved 
Your company 

After I dropped you off 
I stared at your house 
While multiple friend’s advice
Playing in the background 

Their advice caused 
My brain 
And my heart to argue  
For hours that night 

And I kinda miss 
That part 

Cause when I 
think of you now 
I feel the effects of my insomnia  
Creeping in 

From consistent phone calls 
Every night 
At 3am 
Taunting 

Like you’re constantly poking 
At my wounds 
With a dull knife 

I keep my blinds shut 
And my lights off 
After work 
So you think I’m not home 

It gives me time 
To try to 
fall asleep early 
So I’m not startled 
As you call
From an unknown number 

I get ready for work 
The night before now 
That way I am prepared

To sprint through 
the parking garage 
To my car 
Every day 

And once I catch my breath 
And lock the doors 
I close my eyes 
Turn my headlights on 
And hope you won’t be there

The Road

Driving on the road to so called happiness 
Trying to stay off the shoulder of tears
Doing our best not to give lifts
To others who's welfare we hardly care

9 to 5 we most often drive
Down a one way street
With the only signal that we use
Is the one that blinks, it's all about me

Then it's off to Church on Sunday
To smile at those we weekly pass by
Shredding Jesus into pieces
Keeping the parts out that we like

We think we know the best roads
To take to where we're going
In road rage mistrust we scream and we cuss
By passing all the signs of love 

Stuck in this daily traffic jam
By impatience and bad habits
We see something better in another lane
But we're too far off to grab it

Then it's back to Church on Sunday
Trying to ease the pain of the coming Monday
Again shredding Jesus into pieces
In search of happiness along the way

Premium Member The Freeway

Why did they name it a freeway to begin with
Honestly it doubles your chances of getting hit
Drunk drivers and those with road rage throwing fits
Constantly driving defensively to avoid a near miss
Are the ramp meter lights really controlling the traffic
It causes more confusion when an idiot drives past it
It's on this road that the impatient show themselves 
Another reason the insurance comanies are high in their sells
People changing lanes like they're under the influence
Tailgaters are annoying and also drivers with no insurance 
If an accident happens anywhere on the freeway
Artificial traffic builds from the nosey looking that way
Then when lanes aren't moving but yours starts to
Someone always dares to dash right in front of you
You also have those who try to cheat the carpool 
Even break through the solid lines just to roll through 
That freeway business can be too much for me
To avoid that madnes I rather take the street

Horn Blowing Day

Today was a horn blowing day
Maybe it was the temperature
That made their mind stray.
Their frustrations are rising high
It seems they want traffic to fly.

These are the rage warriors with their road rage
Because of this , many a life will change.
When they run over a pedestrian
Or crash into another car
Because their rage had gone too far.

They all claim to be running late
That they have an important date
Maybe it’s to meet the undertaker
Before they go to meet their maker.

Then all the “ I’m sorriest” come out
Of that there is no doubt.
But will the “I’m sorry” bring back the
Life that was taken, or the damage done
To that person and families.
This is something that I can not see. 

Let’s think about it before this rage takes control
For it can not bring back that lost soul.

                CONTROL

My Modern Day Reality

My Modern Age Reality

The daily commute a daily grind
Bumper to bumper you will find
Asking “are you out of your mind”
Hoping to spot someone that is kind

Road rage is now the new adage
To get where you’re going at this stage
Maybe this can be forestalled with courage
Though that is wishful thinking at this age

My child in the back seat 
She’s my daily joy when I do pick her up and we meet
Her arms outstretched as if to greet
Though the morning drop off isn’t so neat

A woman in a job no less
That a man used to do my guess
Why does it feel so thankless
Although that paycheck is a bliss

At the end of a long day I just want to rest
But hubby dear has announced a guest
Shopping, cooking, cleaning is now my quest
After all we want to show our best

The closing of the door and a big sigh
Tells me that bedtime is nigh
But first tidy up both low and high
Maybe it’s worth a hug from my big guy

My head comes to rest on the pillow
A last glance out the window at the willow
And a snuggle with mine bedfellow 
Leads to a day’s afterglow

That’s all I have for today’s sideshow
