Happy Jack is back on track
Had a rough go of it for a week or so
Wondered if it was really ever going to end
I'm almost back to normal but it's slow
Wasn't totally sure I'd make it through
Felt like my head was about to explode
Slept for about ten hours every night
And six hours every day on overload
I don't wish this on my worst enemies
But maybe just a small dose could strike
Perhaps a wee bit couldn't hurt methinks
I'd just like to share and share alike
It's been like an out of body experience
I'll behave myself from this day forward
Promise to behave from today till tomorrow
Trust me, it's just what the doctor ordered
Happy Jack is back on track
Had a rough go of it for a week or so
But all's well that ends well they say
I'm almost back to normal but it's slow

Why are so many humans bent on destruction
Why are we always seeking stuff we don't have
It is so inconsistent with our loving nature
Share and share alike sounds about right to me
I'm talking about the average joe
Actually we're a bunch of happy old souls
I'm sure if we were to take a worldwide survey
The overwhelming result would show
95% of us guys would be happy old souls
So next time it feels like the sky is falling
Smile and sing a happy song and the world
Will feel like a big happy place again

Vaccine this and Vaccine that
Anyone can make a vaccine, surely
But does yours actually work
As surely my vaccine is better than yours
Because I have so more many scores
And my percentage is higher than yours
Plus I made it all myself
And I can keep it safely on my shelf
So maybe I will keep it all to myself
Yours though is better so you say
But you bought a few million more than I can pay
Shusch.. Schh..
The only way we can get out of this
Is if we all really give a sxxt
Never mind who made it happen
The vaccine should be for all
So as I stand here on my soapbox
I really hope we have all not lost the plot
So whatever vaccine may just be the way
To find our way out from the global malaise
We need to share and share alike
Especially with those who just might
Have absolutely nothing..
Including spending millions of pounds
For I have found
Its better to share and care
Best wishes

IF YOU PULL A LONG FACE - Part III
IF you pull a long face
As long as two thousand years, you say
Think someone looked after your place
Now is he the one who must the price pay
Now that you pull a long face
Just because you lost your way
Why shouldn't someone take your place
For you're bound to lose face anyway
Now if you pull a long face
Forced, as you say, to go away
Come not back to a land to say grace
Turn not Allah away from Yahweh
So if you must always pull a long face
Pull not a gun to make him do as you say
Pay him the rent you owe, ne'er him displace
Share and share alike none will you slay
Yet if you must pull a long face
At some kin on whom you prey
You should really fear losing face
For, from you, the World'll turn away

May God bless this house
Where all abide
Love and care for one another
Tolerate and accept each other
Share and share alike
Lift each other's burdens
Help each other with household chores
Smile when we see each other
And care for our animals
Lastly volunteer to put the bins out!
Have Another Haiku
What would a worm do
If there never was some soil
For him to play in.
Color I like best
That in a flower is found
All of them to me.
God told me again
Like all the things that I give
Be sure to pass on.
Share and share alike
For best results to occur
Again and again.
I wrote these for you
Do have a happy haiku
Write some for yourself.
James Thomas Horn, Retired Veteran and Poet
The Chick
Under the shelter of the mother’s wing
a baby chick can hide,
nourished and safe from the cares of this world
as long as there he will abide.
Yet, he has to be able to
learn to share and share alike,
for he has brothers and sisters who want what he has
like, for instance that pretty new bike.
Consequently, the wise chick says to himself
why, I am going to strike out on my own,
why I’m too big for the wing stuff
and what would my friends think back home.
What the chick doesn’t know won’t hurt him?
Hey, I’m sorry my friend that just isn’t so,
why there are devilish weasels waiting out there
when they see him alone after him they will go.
So, my son, I mean dear chick
the time comes so soon that you gladly will fly away,
but wait just a little bit longer
and under momma’s wing learn to trust and obey.
Written by: Marilyn S. jennings
Concerning friends, on this, we all agree.
The face of things of which delight and feed,
the friend does most completely fill the need.
Yet, having friends, you are no longer free.
You share and share alike the things that be.
The give and take, starts as a tiny seed.
Soon trust becomes ‘your common friend in need’.
You start to think, “what has become of me”
Then you can see your choice was but to love.
One does not lose themselves, in truth of thought.
You give your heart freely, now rise above,
to claim your place among your friends thereof
with whom bad thoughts of you are never sought,
and wrap esteem around you as a glove.
