THE WEEKEND

Waiting all week for the weekend
To spend time with you, my friend.
Set for these forty-eight hours
To see what our freedom devours.

Exactly what will be in store?
Laughter, fun and so much more
Because there are so many ways
To make the most of these two days.

Working away the other five 
Towards when we can start to thrive
And enjoy such good companies
Of our friendships and families.

Moments which consist of these
Make up the forest for the trees.
So let us spin another tale
Before age sees us old and frail.

Time is precious - life is short
And goes so quickly, we are taught.
The weekend is one time as such
We can gather and keep in touch.

Taylor Swift Is Stalking Me

Why yes, I dated Taylor Swift
And no, she didn't write a song on it
I'm not quite sure what that means 
Unless it is she still likes me

That might be the explanation why
I catch her out of the corner of my eye
It makes perfect sense now I believe
That Taylor Swift is stalking me

When she found out that I like to rock
She went straight from Country into Pop
Any country bumpkin can plainly see
That Taylor still has eyes for me

When I'm out shopping at the Grocery store
And I catch her sneaking down isle 4
Taylor girl you can't fool me
Your not only here for the Pickled Beets

The other day my car dinged low on fuel
So I pulled in for Petro and to check the oil
You'll never guess who's pumping gas
Do you really even need to ask

And when it is I'm home alone
There's that ring of the late night call
With heavy breathing on the end of the phone
To the tune of Shake It Off

I'm a bit more worried than I am flattered
She seems these days Mad as a Hatter
Who after all this would not believe
That Taylor Swift is stalking me

Taking Off My Demon Shoes

Firstly the alligator belt has to go.
The highly polished pearl handled pistol
should not be on my slim hips 
in a kindergarten.
I’m swearing of sugar and rum.
Blue suede shoes were never that cool anyway,
I have left several pairs at the back of a thrift shop
with a five dollar bill.
Wearing shades in February is not working for me anymore.
I’ve taken off the tassels of my dude cowboy shirt.
I have moved into Ohio
filling every available space with my yellowing soul;
have filed my fangs down to the size of gummy bears.
We (my huge prosthetic breasts and I),
have joined a Pentecostal church
and now babble eloquently in an angelic tongue
only fully known to rabid squirrels.
Constant prayer has turned my **** eruptions
into pure helium
and am now gainfully employed blowing up party balloons 
in a local Dollar Store.
When the good Lord calls me I will be found
balancing precariously on the head of a pin
at last fully masked and surgically prepared for 
my heavenly colonoscopy.

Attributes of Being Average

(alternately titled one me silly more till manufactured 
from go win addle American 
non refundable private parts) 

each set of twenty three chromosomes 
the basic biological building blocks
of life came out cervix 
when second hand of analog clocks 

barely and scarcely swept across dial,
wrought offspring appearance 
as a pier a docks
closely resembling a monkey 

perhaps...hmm...
maybe mother mated with a chimp 
assimilating chromosomal flox 
genetic combination brought about add hocks 

viz bouncing baby boy skinny and fair game 
as a pluperfect future target for jocks
when I took first gasp of air sputtered 
like an old engine that knocks,

now just easing into ma deuce score 
and xix year with hair reed locks 
twittering, snorting, rattling nonetheless 
became precious human dependent 

with mat chew anti body mox
see for father and mother 
to care despite expelling nox
shuss gas out derriere, which profuse flatulence 

natural immunization 
kept away infected kids with pox
nicknamed little buttock blaster 
now sits in a comfy chair and rocks

reminiscing about boyhood 
and a pooch named Socs
who told time applying faux paws vox
like ­tum make sounds resembling tick tocks

Nowadays every potential mom and dad 
disappointed unless offspring(s) feverish follow fad
decreeing qualified as gifted birth of lass or lad 
go wing great lengths to prod and push 
progeny until a genius to be had
rather tubby thankful and gratefully glad

regaling robust surprise 
packaged traits of yore 
inheriting genetics descended 
when early apes did de tour 

terrestrial virgin earth 
anatomically complete store 
reed awesomely astounding miracle from spore
sized fertilized ovum (healthy 
and sound baby boy or girl) hood roar 

if lionized, which feline bellow mew might mean 
change my dye ya pore
and pamper me sum more
gnome hatter wailing mama or papa ignore
thence nurturing baby pipes por favor
kinship knits omnipotent bond evermore
where tis instinctual to adore.

Premium Member A Korean Appliance Store

I own a Korean appliance store
  Protestors smashed my front door
broke all the windows, trashed the floor
  then stripped the shelves, but there's more

to this story than meets the eye
  I've always been the friendly neighborhood guy
hiring drop-outs, ex-cons, some drunk or high
  extending bad credit to help folks buy...

The damage done just breaks my heart
  to pick up the pieces, make a brand-new start
at my age makes no sense; it's not so smart 
  This neighborhood's signaled: Leave! Depart!

But before I go, I'd like to ask
   a question that my brain does rack --
Why don't they jail criminals in this country
   Where's justice for shopkeepers, like my wife and me?

Youre On Every Page Off My Life Story

Chapter one we met because of a twist of fate
Then we got together for our first date
As time went on your lack of presence I did miss
Then finally we had our first kiss

I love you very much so you don’t ever have to worry
Because you’re on every page off my life story

Chapter two as time went on the bond grew with us and we finally wed
We moved in together and naturally shared our bed
Now that we were together there was no place else to roam
So we planted deep roots and got ourselves a happy home

I love you very much so you don’t ever have to worry
Because you’re on every page off my life story

Chapter three and we are still as close as ever you’re a bright star that shines for 
me
But then you told me you were with child now were starting a new family
Boy or girl that doesn’t matter as long as it’s born healthy
You’ve made me proud to be to be your man I’m as happy as can be

I love you very much so you don’t ever have to worry
Because you’re on every page off my life story

Chapter four and the kids have grown up now we put them through the schools
Taught them the facts of life and made sure they obeyed the rules
Now its time for us to share special moments like we did before
I can’t wait to see what the rest of our marriage is like and what life has got in store

Store Scott

Alpha male
No doubt about it
It's in the way he walks
It's in the way he talks
Self confidence and presence
He knows he's in a powerful position
When women at work call him Mc Dreamy
I always ask "Who's That??"
They look at me like I'm from another planet
I'm laughing when I think about that
See, I look into the soul of this wolf
Not at his outer appearance 
I've got say, that I had to face him one day
I was running away from clearance
And the task at hand given to me 
by Co Scott 
My story of the Night in Shining Armour
with tasks at hand 
Lessons in growth and understanding
How to be self sufficient and self reliant
And I was so overwhelmed and crying
But he ever so gently put his foot down
and said people are jealous of success 
That clearance is stressful and I'd be good
for this task
So I  went back to clearance and went back 
under the guidance of both men
And I don't regret it one bit
Store Scott ever so gently guided me
in the right direction for my success
I asked him one time if he valued me
as an employee
And he immediately said yes
I was a problem solver he said
I took those words and cherished them
in my heart
And he was right
Through his wisdom 
I'm applying these problem solving skills
in my personal life
And I'm growing and flourishing
Thanks to this alpha males kindness
And belief in me that I can succeed
See I'm fiercely loyal to those who are loyal to me
And I can't wait to show him I can shine
With a little more guidance and patience
I feel safe with his presence in our pack

Running Life Away

Running Life Away



  We run around in this race
    This race we run around
      Around this race we run
        This rat race in our town

          We run uphill then run down
            Then we run circles around
               Around the town then back up
                 Covering every inch of ground

                 We run ourselves, we run our kids
                 We run every single chance we get
                 Running for this, running for that
                 So much running but we're still unfit

                 We run errands, we run to the store
                   We run our mouths even more
                     Across sand beaches to distant shores
                       Sometimes on two feet, others on all fours

                         Why is it that we run so much
                           Why is the world in such a hurry
                             Why can't we just relax a bit
                               Why is it we all have to worry

                                  Life is good...
                                      Everything will be just fine...

Premium Member Blessings From Heaven

All blessing great and small come from God in heaven above. Many we see, know and love. Many just pass us by in life like a flying dove.

 

Abundance even when we were poor
Blessed everyday with much more
Cupboard you filled when I went to the store
Daily prayer upon life's shore
Enthusiastic for you I went to the bookstore
Finding a new book I adore
God sometimes I feel like I am in a war
Happy when you bring peace to my seashore
I know you have all the answers I am looking for
July you married us my Lord
Knitted us in one accord
Love kept us from Satan's sword
Many days life was like a checkerboard
Never stopped blessing me and I was floored
Over and over you were my reward
Praying for things we could not afford
Quick we could now pay the landlord
Remembering Thee I will never flee
Singing heavenly songs to Thee
Thee has brought me much more than brie
Us with you brings glee
Very happy I wish God we could have some tea
Weaving God's life with mine on my knee
Xmas I could not wait to see
Your blessings grow like a mighty oak tree
Zeal with thanks to the tenth degree

Word of mouth

Word of mouth is the best AD but sometimes it can make you feel very sad. I walked up the street to get something to eat, but a human loudspeaker in the street disrupts my heartbeat. Come to my discount store you can get bargain galore, you can get protein powder for a hundred dollars a pound and cashew nuts for a thousand dollars per tin, all in local currency, let the bargain begin.

I was curious to see what was going on, so I followed the crowd to the corner and join the line that stretched across the street. The line was moving slow and I had a good way to go before I reached the door of the store. Within an hour I reached the door and an altercation began about the space in line; two men fought fist to fist rolling on the ground; they were both bound. With bloody nose and broke shoulder, the ambulance came and wheeled both men to the emergence room; they were both unconscious; blood spilled all over the place forcing some shoppers to cover their faces  

Word of mouth is the best promotion; word of mouth can cause lots of commotions. You spend a million dollars on TV and radio Ads, but nobody come to the store, and it really makes you feel bad. Word of mouth can break your business down and it can make you frown; it can spread rumor in the street, and it can turn the universe against you in seconds. People often believe what they hear and they are quick to share.

A stranger open a business in town and one person starts spreading rumors around and nobody went there because of fear and the store closed down and the stranger disappeared from the town. It’s like sowing a seed in a thorny field and the bird come along and scatter it around. 

Politicians get bruised too for they know little about the community they choose; the people create a story about you and sell it with their mouth and when you hear it you start to shout. If it is good, it will build you up and if it is negative, it will tear you down. You cannot get a job for someone has a gossip and out you and everyone in the street knows about it, while some people do it for profit. The competitions are strong and the word of mouth is how the get along.

“A thousand men were buried at the cemetery”, the word-of-mouth promotions said, but when I got there, just one tomb that says, “a soldier is buried here”. Word of mouth can make you and word of mouth can break you.
