Premium Member Shot Logic

    Adhered to by schools across the nation

An added blessing of kids in home school
    Not being subjected to these damned fools

Premium Member Billly Graham

A young North Carolina preacher named Billy Graham
Was filled with God's Words, and knew how to say 'em
All across the nation, many people came to salvation
Now heaven will be home to more than a few; how about you

Premium Member Saturday's Promises

Saturday's promises are
relaxation
exclamation
no hesitation
blogging across the nation
a-have-my-way-my-kind-of-day
sleeping in
staying up late
SNL
popcorn smells
dog walks
long talks
polish my nails
read from mail
Saturday's full of promises

Premium Member Carrie Nation's Temperance Crusade

Carrie Nation loathed saloons and whiskey,

And took some actions that were quite risky!

She chastised dudes who reeked of intoxication,

And used her hatchet to smash kegs of booze across the nation!

Premium Member Covid19 Vaccinations

Many of we oldsters have already received the covid19 vaccination.

Soon all who want it will receive the shot in states across the nation.

Yet, TV news keeps needlin' us showin' 12 inch needles pokin' the shoulder joint!

You would think by now that we should've all received the "point"!

Premium Member Edsel's Folly

Edsel Ford launched the Edsel auto much to his Pa's consternation!

He hyped it hoping his namesake would reach top sales across the nation!

Edsel touted it as the latest and greatest but it proved to be a flop!

Folks soured on this woeful lemon since it spent most of its time in the shop!

Mother Nature

Can you hear me?
Can you hear my call?
The call across the nation
through the valleys and to
the redwoods that stand so tall.

Echo's from history sting the wind
as each day goes on, again and again. 
Repeating lessons we still have not learned,
Will my human children heal our wounded world?

The Square Root of You

The square root of you
Is a simple equation
People all across the nation
Might not have a clue 
but the square root of you
Is you

You can't simplify what's already perfect
Science can say we're all flawed
ELA can say we're all wrong
Social studies can say, we're all discorded
But math states that we're all perfect

Once a Year

Happy Obligation Day!
A day that’s like no other,
‘Cause woe to any son or daughter
Disregarding Mother.

Buy those flowers, sign those cards,
Make a reservation;
Phones are buzzing, gifts unwrapped
All across the nation.

More important – call again
Before your bouquet’s wilty;
If once a year’s enough for you,
You should be feeling guilty!

Premium Member Carrie Nation

Carrie Nation and her cohorts stirred up all kinds of consternation,

   As they raided bars leaving a trail of broken glass across the nation!

      With hatchet and Bible in hand she preached hellfire and damnation!

         She deemed demon rum and those who drank it an abomination!

Anywhere

This world we live in is filled with so much sin
And no matter what we do we will never win
Even though the police sometimes create a hostile situation
It’s not just in Detroit; it’s all across the nation

There is even black on black crime
At the drop of a dime
That people are trying to move some where peaceful
So they can be happy and joyful

But it could happen wherever you go
And yes, even in Boise Idaho

Corona Pantoum

Corona pantoum

corona virus spreading death
as our politicians continue lying 
many people refuse to wear masks
so many people lie dying 

as our politicians continue lying
Spreading lies and misinformation 
 so many people lie dying 
With hatred spreading across the nation 

If only people did what they should 
corona virus spreading death
Our leaders say everything is good 
many people refuse to wear masks

Enrich appreciation to begin

Embrace all people far and wide across the nation and globe

Black Flag

The official name is 
Contrails
No more than condensation

The alternate one
Chemtrails 
poo pooed across the nation

I can't help notice
months go by
With none in sight

Are we to understand
that
No plane has taken flight

Yet, when they
Return
The skies are cross hatched

Such coverage in true
Journalism
Won't be matched

I've discussed it with
My brother who many
topics broaches

When they return
I call and say
There's sprayin the cockroaches

Premium Member A Zombie Holiday

“It’s the end of October time for vacation,”
said Mr. Graveyard Zombie, “it’s been a long duration
since we last went on a haunt across the nation,
and what should be our final destination?”
Replied Mrs. Zombie without any hesitation,
“I’m sure I know the perfect location;
back to the hood and haunt the next generation;
for it is they who gave us a life of vexation,
and this to be their consolation
for it’s we who are cursed with eternal damnation.”

A Schmutzy Day

The weatherman's announcement: "Hey,
It's gonna be a schmutzy day!
With howling winds and rain in sheets,
It won't be fun on city streets.

This news report just wouldn't fly
In other places; this is why - 
I live in New York's melting pot
Where Yiddish words are used a lot

And "schmutzy" is a word we'd use.
(It's not restricted to the Jews.)
To all of you across the nation
Who may need this in translation -

Schmutzy days you take in stride 
If you can snuggle up inside.
