i knew a bee that could sing

it worked for a queen and king

but they preferred honey

and paid it no money

now it sings backup for sting.

Insisted 
tight-fisted
hard fisted, too.

Resistin' 
when necessary
or, hey, when not.

Assertions without backup facts
get votes.
Disappearance when overwhelmed
whole 'nother story....

I am tired of saying it!
Never ever delete unbackups doc
As in a nano you have deleted them,
You should have done more than a backup
In a nano too.
So backup and save or
Leave them alone! In their place....

After Flynn Was Fired

After Flynn Was Fired he suffered much wrath,
And would end up going down the wrong path;
Each  condition,
Much suspicion;
Containing conflicting ideas and backup math.

Demented hall of dream crashers 
scented thick with calamity; 
Disoriented visitors can’t bolt, 
tormented by a lack of serenity; 

Swirling thoughts sit overloading 
looming darkness calls backup; 
Beckoning for you to quit, 
forgetting idealists never give up....

Travel day is what’s on tap
Two-year-old is in my lap
Doesn't seem that far to go
Just six inches on the map

Flying tantrums, status quo?
Not for parents in the know
Benadryl - voila! a nap
This ain’t my first rodeo…

Our back cupboard, the one which lies above 
the microwave, houses backup coffee
cups, with faded image of turtle doves
or like the camel cup just unwieldy.
Others with flaws, cracks or broken handles 
patiently waiting for someday repair
holding memories some might say shambles
patiently waiting for someday repair....

Inside the flames stir with fury
Outside my smile covers the pain
My mind running on backup
To many thoughts to fit one place 
Taken over by emotion
Hatred fills my veins
Captured by the lies of life
And those I love and hate
Hope loses meaning
Love exists no more
Torn to pieces deep inside
Curled up on the floor...

Building,
deepening the colors;
Dreams embrace lingering;
Break of day uncovers 
desires of the willing;

Beguiled,
bathing in the sunrise;
Washed in spun gold I smile,
anticipation flies;
It hungers for a while;

Backup,
sunshine and a soft breeze;
Sipping slow from your cup
flying on a trapeze;
Be gentle, pick me up....

Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup—
Sugar, spice and everything nice…backup.
Chemical X created the perfect little girls
with kicka@@ powers and whirls.

Professor Utonium
created his perfect kindergartners…um,
one with sugar, one with nice, one with spice,
all with Keene-eyes, superness, no advice.

I remember after about 1990,
 i was using a computer xt type, speed 1o megahertz, 
screen used to burn me eyes, so i used dark glasses,
 i had just put some story on the hard drive and it died,
 leaving me stranded with no back up of a few hours of work...
always make a back up hey....Don

ps..S C B love the flow an rhyme of this poem..."Bumpy Cyber Space" Carol Brown

My mother loves me 
with all of her heart and soul 
she keeps me so safe 
when she holds my tiny hand 
the little child she wanted 
my little heart bursts with love.

I was looking through a CD with backup poetry on it and found many different styles of poetry I used to write. It's time I tried writing them again.

Golden beams peeking,
songs of blues by the seashore;
Aghast jaws of life 
rebuild an eroded beach;
The solace of the sea stills;

At peace you marvel 
this melody can’t be real;
Nautical backbeat 
a compass for the broken;
Soothing sorrowful band aid;

Lush foam matches drums 
keeping such a sweet shuffle;
Sunshine sings backup 
a gentle nudge on your mood;
Turquoise waters raise a smile....

He leaned on his sword
They had asked for backup
He had arrived in time
The bloodied waters..
Was all he could now fathom
Summoned to avert..
A crises of epic proportions
The price was but too high
The cry ascending 
To the very heavens
Whispers of mercy..
Angels descending..
The battle had raged fierce
But now they had a lull
The worst was over
Yet why did he feel so empty
To hope and trust..
His calling was but just...

Listen to poem:

Free Bird's last flight 

I Need You
Midnight Rider
Tuesday's Gone
Simple kind of man
Caught Up In You
Gimme Three Steps
Hold On Loosely
Call Me the Breeze
One Way Out
These Eyes
Blue Sky
Free Bird

Dedicated to Ronnie Van Zant, Steve Gaines, and backup singer Cassie Gaines, and the flight crew who died October 20, 1977 on a chartered Convair CV-240 bound for Baton Rouge, Louisiana, five miles northeast of Gillsburg, Mississippi....

Fifty feet away 

On the other side

It sits

It's the moon that I want

But how?

How do I get it?
...
Reach

Reach far 

Reach hard 

Reach long

Reach best
...
Say it can't be reached

Well

It wasn't meant to be

But I always

Have backup stars 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note-Reach for the moon.  Even if it can't be reached, you will always have the stars....

I can’t help but chuckle when I see
dashboards cluttered with statuary –
the virgin Mary, Jesus, St. Christopher,
and dangling from the rearview mirror
(no doubt as backup for real harm),
a rosary, a rabbit’s foot, a scarab charm.
Yet the car’s banged up beyond recognition
when drivers rely on superstition.
What assurance can a driver have for hope
if he drives with no insurance, the dope?
Put more bluntly, what peace of mind
when statues are deaf, dumb and blind?...

You're as bright as Education
Straight but bendable
You think with backup
You can recycle and retrieve memories
You define bravery
And your emotions speak
Your desire is classic deliverance
For you swim in deserts
And plant wisdom fruits
You climb space and find impossibilities
As you massage thousand of hearts.
You're a folded situation
With an inside out beauty
Your hand is a Miracle
That offers deliverance through writings
You're the white spot, in a dark room....

No longer can you plan a trip
When driving is the means,
For calculating ETA’s
Is like a hill of beans.

Construction doesn’t help things,
Though it keeps the traffic slowed,
But the problem is how many
Cars and trucks clog up the road.

To cross a bridge this morning,
Where the backup was a mess,
Added fifty minutes to our ride,
As well as lots of stress.

At times we cannot help it – 
Cars can take us door to door,
But it certainly takes longer
Than it ever did before....

Prosecution Opens It's Case-Eight Word Challenge

A horde of illicit cartridge was brought into evidence
drawing a trifle smirk, albeit mordacious, from the 
defendant, elderly and wizened, who's past crimes include 
loiter, but was now inducted on child porn by the prosecution
throwing the proverbial shackled book at him, that elicit pages 
of justice protecting the young innocent.
