Space pilot extraordinaire,
Each week in the Eagle flew,
Against Mekon and his crew-
Dan's technology later came true....

Each week at the store,
When the pandemic was here.
We always bought more.

We Relied So God Supplied

On God Himself, we have relied;
Food for thought us He supplied;
Am mild and meek;
Worship each week;
Do end up with great feeling inside.

We’ve a long time friend named Shirlene,
between first meeting and now is umpteen.
She phones each week,
and is quite unique.
She’s not left or right but somewhere between.

I'll place some poems,
Upon this site,
Some will rhyme,
Some will not,

Catch your eye,
Tickle your ear,
Make you laugh,
Nor cry,

Each week,
I'll wipe the chalk away,
But the words will stay,
Forever I remain....

Hap, hap, happy day, it's Friday once more
Look forward each week, my work was a bore
Same old grind
Going outta my mind
Hope this weekend I don't get too many bedsores

Make your presence felt 
The children need you
Without your guidance 
They would be clueless as to what to do 
Be their voice
When they cannot speak 
Always show them that you care 
Give them encouragement each week...

There once was a fair swanky maiden
Who each week at Weight Watchers weighed in
    Her whole new attitude
    On her arm fresh tattooed 
Heaped desserts no more for her laden

There once was a dog by name of Tiger
She belonged to Kendricks who acquired her
Doris brushed her teeth each week
With Jr.'s  tooth brush so meek
When he learned, said, "Why?"..(She)I did not want mine dirtied sir..

In honor of Brian Strand.......

Priest is fuddy duddy wearing clothes that are cruddy,
And we had decided to invite him to our Bible study;
Told us God,
Is not a fraud;
Now each week he has been our Bible study buddy.

This is written with tons of tongue  in cheek

   But I loved watching Mickey Mouse each week

      He was my favorite star

         Outshone Donny Duck by far

            A talking mouse ne'er to utter a squeak

LUCKY HEATHER

The Gypsy offers a posy of heather
Each week as I walk by.
“Be lucky love,” she always says.
And every week I wonder why
A bunch of heather would bring me luck.
So, today, without slowing my pace,
I said, “I’m already lucky love”
And tripped and fell flat on my face....

Doctors have connected the dots:
COVID-19 balloons blood clots!
Avoid aftermath
Just soak in a bath*
To send blood clots sailing like yachts!

* A Japanese study reports that
soaking in a tub 2-4 times each week
reduces clots and blood pressure plus
coronary heart disease by 25% and 
strokes by 13%...

A coupon clipper named Carla
Has a pile of coupons in her parla'.
      She clips more each week,
      Treats each like an antique,
And guards them against any burgla'.

I remember years ago
when we had no heat
It was just so awful
we had  frozen feet
The floors were cold
each and every week
When we ate dinner
it was rarely a treat
Everyone would huddle
it was no easy feat
You ate very quickly
left the table in defeat
Now things are different
and there's plenty of heat
Even though expensive
we have heat each week....

Yes, you shut me down.
But I'm rebooting.
I start again, for this is my destiny to begin again.
I will do better than ever, to make one laugh, cry and celebrate.

Yes, I will come alive, with Hope, Joy and well being.
You will love me even more.

So, check on me each week for something new.
Maybe even exciting. For I m rebooting....

It's nice to walk in a room
and see someone still working the program
It helps to get through each week
of insanity
Going back reminds me
how everything felt right
and the close connections I had
because we all understand 
Over the years
you get around to different places
and it all doesn't look so foreign
Here's for another year
to fight to break the cycle...

Clouded
Weak
You wake before dawn
The daily routine
Making you forlorn
Struggle through each day
To pay the bills
Its the daily grind
That tests your will
Security in your life
You defend
What is the purpose in the end
The only consolation is the end of each week
So desired 
No reason to speak
Think It
Dare say
Your almost there
Know this my friend,
It's 5 o'clock somewhere!...

Grandma knitted me and my brother,
he is blue and I am pink.
We fit snug in Sally's shoes, 
off to school or to play we go.
Each week we get a warm bath,
then go round and round in the dryer.
Life was so much fun,
until my blue brother took off.
I sit all alone in Sally's dresser drawer,
now the odd sock out....

It's always full with pages of you
Each week adding another few
You tantalise and taunt me with pride
Cupid unrelenting at my very side
Ever so present, I'm obsessed
Desiring, wanting, love is a high
I dare you to tease me at your will
Awakening me with all your light
To see and feel the love you give
Learning to love me, myself and I
Its not until then, not a day too soon
That I can love with all my heart...

Remember all the adventures we had Mrs. Peel?
Emma, they seemed like fantasy, but they were quite real.
Each week, we were retributive against crime.
In all our escapades, we had a hell of a time.
The years passed by for both you and me.
Our episodes were proudly displayed by the BBC.
I believe I still have enough vigour and energy.
Let’s get back together and reappear on the telly.

If you are at a crossroad, try the church with that name.
Sinners and saints are all glad that they came.
You can feel God’s presence in this southern place,
And friends come each week to bask in His grace.

With voices like angels, each week the choir sings,
To prepare for the sermon the preacher will bring.
Sharing the good word, he keeps you on the edge of your seat.
Hearing the gospel has never been such a treat!...

One more thing, he told me
She rocks eighties hair
Eighties hair! I had to wrack my brain trying to remember eighties hair.
The second I saw her it all came flooding back.
Teased up, pulled out, fluffy, puffy, poufy goofy eighties hair!
How had I forgotten buying a can of hairspray each week?
How had I forgotten Farrah Fawcett?
How had I forgotten that when we had our hair cut like Farrah ……
None of us looked like her?...
