I do all of my traveling on line
eating my favorite foods while I dine
close to my kitchen and comfy chair
spending no money on any plane fare
traveling to Florida or Georgia today
without paying a single dollar to stay
fearing no big cats on my rainforest walk
not hearing any parrots giving a squawk
between the internet, texting and zoom
I can travel the planets, go to the moon
eating what I want, sitting comfortably in my chair
roaming among alligators and pumas because I so dare.

Energy is useful if you are real.
Leaving no mark of inhibitions,
Be consistent in using your light.
To the truth and to the needy people.
Share your thoughts, call and explain.
Part of the journey is arriving the line,
Deep appreciation of courage and strength,
In passing the ordeal of life as vector,
It always come out once in pursuing goals,
And if you are an ocean, I'll give you a hug.

if you hold the ocean up to your ear
an old empty shell is what you will hear
a creature long dead that once called it home
his belongings sent to charity, all his stuff gone
sold by online auction or by family taken
but he’ll always be there as the sound of the ocean

Good luck, if you are searching for love on line
Love cannot be brought or sold, real love is found
Haphazardly. There is no pattern, no real bound
No formula, no history, no cup and no special line.
On the internet, one can find countless problems
And hazards. Love can be like a dream, an illusion
Few are blessed and lucky to find exceptional gems
Sparkling on the busy boulevard or on the horizon.
Love, on line, ain’t love. Puppy love is for amateurs
Romeo would have never gone on line searching for
Juliet. Old time lovers used to write romantic letters.
We know that it’s another time. There are beasts that roar
Even when they’re happy. Searching for love on the internet
Is like playing Russian roulette. This is a warning not a bet.

Wouldn't it be nice to order
the weather on line?
All of the days could be
filled with sunshine..
Must I sign up for Amazon clime?
Days would be warm.
People would feel fine..

Oh, latest iPad, may I hang thee,
From the nearest garden tree!
A Grinch, thou art and nothing more.
Causing me, endless problems galore!
As always, Safari is to blame?
Almost a tune, that puts me to shame.
Why is it I , who is always at fault?
I dream of joyful days of saddleshoes
and malts.
Of humanity speaking, face to face.
And of being social, was of no disgrace!
Typewriters and mail, oh how I love!
This electronic age, hardly hand in my glove.
I miss the aroma of fresh, pencil shavings.
Thus goes, my off the wall nightly ravings.
People no longer look at the beauty of one
another.
Pasty- faced countenances adoring their beloved,
electronic other !
A ghost faced, global society?
Which dreams a worthless vaccine
can save humanity?
I despise propopganda with my entire being.
And on our devices, is all right we are seeeing.

Were clothes blowing in the wind...

Frightening virus never heard and seen
A big stumbling block to learning domain
Fixing the student to the gadget’s screen
Throwing challenges on learner to attain
All other alternatives went in vain
Mentors and learners are at their own spots
Wi-Fi brings both together for their slots
Learn on their own effort is horrible
None for them to clarify afterthoughts
Pray the Lord, for them make it possible.

A social network is how we communicate
Personality determines our appeal out of the gate
Appearance is not a factor
The heart drives the tractor
Seven AM to eleven PM to talk with your mates

To order groc'ries easily
You'll find it best to shop on-line
Just touch the numbers on your phone
To order groc'ries easily --
No parking in no-parking zones
Don't wait in line for hours on end --
To order groc'ries easily
You'll find it best to shop on-line

And...
I need 24 quarts of 2% milk;
Okay, "6 gallons of milk!"
No, sir, I want 24 quarts, it stays fresher that way!
But lady we only have that in Silk.
Then I want twenty four plastic containers,
Will you pick them up all in blue;
And then divide up those six gallons,
Just like I want you to do.
Well, I must ask my supervisor,
For I am very confused,
We don't usually offer that service,
I must ask and get back to you.
[I can put quarts up in my freezer;
Those big gallons just don't fit.
Then I can feed my kittens one at a time;
It just takes a little bit.
How many kittens do I have?
I thought you would never ask.
I have 48 on my property;
I'm known of the lady of cats.

LOVER ON LINE

I've taken the time to concentrate
on poems I read that they highly rate,
and how poems from poets believed to be great,
are also the poems of those interacting like a mate.
And I've noticed good poems get disqualified from competitions,
and this is because they didn't put the host name on their submission.
This is a very sad state of affairs,
as you delete their name after this competition of theirs.
People saying this poem has been done before,
then writing Jesus poems.....
Jesus how many times do they get repeated,
two thousand years of poems on an individual,
how on earth are these poems original,
libraries full of these preaches,
how is any of it new pieces.
I find it funny,
the lack of nun poems or the easter bunny,
but Trump poems rain in piles like the Eiffel Tower,
and most are vile and crummy.
Poems on the internet are dictated by politics these days,
it is not about you but the game you play,
and everyone on-line is a player,
it's just that not all know they're playing.
