Charlies Schedule
Diane’s dog Charlie is her baby; more than her son ever was.
He likes me better than Stewart did too, she tells me.
Charlie’s therapy appointments are on Monday.
On Tuesdays he has his nails groomed or his teeth flossed.
Wednesdays are open for luncheon engagements with other pups.
He gives me a break on Thursdays, Diane tells us. It’s

Ralph - You Are Behind Schedule
Before the marathon began,
I walked First Avenue,
Aware 100,000 feet
Would soon come pounding through.
The do-not-cross tape waited
And the police were getting set
To control the hordes of cheering fans
Who hadn’t gathered yet.
Since some apartments face the street,
Their balconies supply
A place for friends to stand and shout
As runners hurry by.
From one such place, I saw a sign
To jokingly

we are not on the same schedule
I call my friend Linda at nine a.m.
she is probably sleeping
I leave her a couple of messages
get no reply
she calls me around ten pm
this wakes me up and irritates me
I do not answer,
not wanting to encourage her to call me this late
we are not on the same schedule
I doubt we ever will be
I cannot imagine

Schedule
So I shall go, if you don’t mind
You’ll probably stay home
Last time we met I can’t rewind
Since then I’m on my own
I need to buy some fish and bread
And paper towels too
Until the heat will rise, instead
One pouring rain or two
You likely need some chores to do
Some garden work as well
Yesterday’s buds evolved a few
Fine

Bells
Multitudinous bells secern the tones
as may resound sharp bamboo xylophones.
Pulchritudinous bells have rhythmic ding,
others that linger with tedious ring.
Some little bells can echo a jingle
that surely bestow a Christmas tingle.
Quite many bells ting melodious chime
prompting our schedule's punctilious time.
A carillons' unique, harmonized bells
swing from gentleness to overtone swells.
Suspended bronze discs reach resonant gongs,
characterized by gregarious

Silly But I Still Over Schedule
I knew I was going to overschedule myself
It was as sure as the piccolo played by an elf
Still I promised, too many I would help, which is silly I know.
Painting myself into a corner, with nowhere to go.

What Dreams May Come
I startled awake, early Sunday morning,
fraught - my mind, darting like a panicked animal
because my assignment calendar
is wet, smeared and illegible!
Total darkness - I fish for my phone by it’s cord - it reads 3:08am.
I flop back onto a cloud of thick, memory foam.
Ahhh, jeeez, it was just a DREAM.
Of course, my assignment calendar

My Summer Vacation Schedule
I am on my own schedule.
Sleep two, up three.
Sleep one, up two.
Sleep three, up two.
This was ridiculous when I was working.
Today, my first day of summer break, it makes sense.

Fall Schedule Released
Weekly appointments are being made
Realizing luring bargaining chips after many trades
Hoping they will make the grade
When opposing home offices are expected to invade
What will be discussed?
Important issues a must
Flagging the busts
No holding or off sides are rules on the table
Running plays that are able
To score and

The Schedule
The Schedule
Written by Tom Wright
8-2-2016
A schedule isn’t just to get things done,
But for accomplishment in some sequence;
We begin doing things at the rising of sun,
Some done without thought of frequence.
First on our list should be God’s time alone,
For his guidance on how we should walk.
Thanking Him for blessings and love shown,
And for steering

Poetic Schedule
Monday ... hit ‘em with a hard ballpoint slam
Shake the weekend ‘nish out of their veins
Tuesday ... hot comb straighten out the political wigs
Give the trough lap dogs some cynicism pain
Wednesday ... make their pen ride uncomfortable on the hump
Tell a shorty stuck backhoe mole ditch is looking big
Thursday ... turn the sundial back ten
