Pardon me, Sir, Ma’am
I believe I’ve made your acquaintance
Why, yes.
Aren't you the chap who always detains us

floating over the forest trees
was for my nephew a breeze
as he floated past
a shadow he cast
I promptly yelled “put down your knees!”

President no more
while we had been waiting for
who next is in store
morning seems so still
made by God who always will
all our lives fulfil
heard cardinal call
now spring and no longer fall
from tree which is tall
God is never late
we always appreciate
knowing our each fate
more mulch may put down
made of hard wood and dark brown
smile and no longer frown
way America will lead
profits do stampede
which is what we need
what we have to do
is no justice without truth
which is what God say
when we are prepared
let Jesus be our savior
will forever more

Put Down The Gun
Put down the gun,
It's had it's day,
A very primative way,
Ain't you got a brain, anyway?!
Put down the gun,
It's no fun,
What good's it ever done?
Except for killing,
Adults, children & animals,
And making some jerk rich,
Put down the gun,
And get a life,
Instead of taking one.

Hang tough little ones
as you walk
through the gauntlet of scorn
and the fists of the bully.
Hang tough and you will
come out the other side.
And when you do
you will think and feel
more deeply
and see life in a way
that others cannot.
And when you think
and feel,
and see more deeply,
your hearts will beat music,
your brush
will splash rainbows,
and the words
you put down will be magic.

She is a liar! I scream.
The nurse tries her best to shush me.
FAKE NEWS! I holler, biting her on the arm.
I cannot stop shrieking now. I am damned mad.
I see her write something down on a tablet.
“What did you write?”
She refuses to show me.
I chase her past closed doors.
The doctor comes out.
“I told you to stop weighing her,” he tells his staff.
Just put down TTT
The only reason he is alive today is because
it took me a week to find out from my nurse sister
that TTT means Two Ton Tilly

A badge of great honor
We wear it with pride,
They say it’s an insult
But we’ll let that one slide.
A boomer’s a doer
A person with Pep,
Marching alone
To their own special step.
The children of Giants
Who lived through a war
Instilling in us
The passion to soar.
They call us great bores
Whose opinions don’t count,
Incongruous has-beens
Our words they discount.
Little they know
It’s a wheel that does turn,
With each generation
Another to spurn.
Suffice it to add
We’re fine in our skin,
Whatever is said
They’ll still be our kin.
Millennials are brash
They message and tweet,
But most just innocuous,
In-fact rather sweet.
They look at their parents
The way we did ours,
With fresh consternation
Like brief summer showers.
When all’s said and done
For boomers like us,
There’s nothing more pleasing
Than life without fuss.

G-ood girl cannot be put down,
I-n spite of criticism;
N-either frown nor scorn is
A-ble to make her day dim.
D-espite the other's trash talk,
E-vil deed and humiliation;
V-ictory smiles at her
I-n the midst of mortification.
D-iscomfort is truly felt before winning the crown;
A-pril twenty-third Sunday, good girl cannot be put down.

Autumn put down me bed
In the grass and the leaves of yours
Cool me I’m hottest lad
But don’t freeze hands of mine, of course.
Make me marquee in wood
Frail but only mine
Autumn I wish I could
To sleep in the bush to be fine.
Give to my fallen soul
View of the forest’s shade
I will be dead for all
I will be deaf for fate.
Hairs will not be white
Sadness won’t come as troop
Put down the bed with light
Weave endless dream in loop.

I know he has her in his arms, always flaunting her charms;
‘I need you he says’, I don’t understand this;
Yet the promises to knot her he speaks.
He comes close, breathes on me
Holds me tight for hours; and she calls
Gets up and walks to the door, “I’ll be back love he states”
Fooling himself is a big mistake!
I read his posts, roaming all around the town;
“I don’t care” he ignores…
I feel hurt for I’m chosen cos I understand
But nevertheless I have my life planned!
Oh boy! Hell with you I say
He knock the door the very next day
There are the options he can choose; Without doubt he will continue
Where I will have no value!
When I think of her, I pray
Truth will make her life grey.
Safe he feels; playing with emotions
Life takes a toll losing loved ones!
I sit and watch him go down
For he chose his way to be put down!

HUMAN BEINGS MAN...don't tell me it was necessary!
Couple hundred thousand people obliterated in a few seconds is beyond the realms of scary.
Truman you musta' been sniffin' glue man...you know you didn't need to do it.
I can hear ya' today giving the A-ok to the Enola Gay, "Kill 'em all...men screw it!"
And not only did you pull it once, but you saw the need to do it twice.
It wasn't like the "Little Boy" you deployed landed in a field of rice
No sir, ya' went and sent the "Fat Man" to devastate the city of Nagasaki even faster!
Just three days after the blaze reeking disaster plaster casting Hiroshima in disaster!
Now before ya' good old boys start raisin' yir' voice about December Seven!
Ramblin' off at the mouth racist claims and who is or isn't gonna be in heaven.
Half a century to think about whether or not two wrongs makes a right.
and ya' still can't see the sin in bringin' NUKES instead puttin' two dukes up in the fight?
Are you kidding me? Someone please tell me the rationale in evaporating innocent women and babies.
when the question arises of taking harmless family's lives....the answer is NO...no IFS, ANDS, or MAYBES!

Put downs work the best
For deflecting unwanted attention
But try to be amusing
As this relieves the tension
A best with animal magnetism
Is what he will probably think
Just say to him
"So you're the missing link"

As this relieves the tension
If he sugest he is your prince
Come to rescue you from your plight
Just say to him
"You live with your mom still, right?"

If he offers you champayne
And celebrates like a winner
Just say to him
"Are you drinking your dinner?"
