Neil Armstrong in nineteen-sixty-nine
Moonwalked on the moon, the first in line.
There have now been twelve
Humans, no elve.
Don’t you think this is mighty fine?...

Actually saw the elusive Yeti last week
At Walmart buying a new pair of skis
Not at all out of place
Next to an alien from space
Let Yeti go first in line as survival I seeked...

As I get older my needs and wants, 
Seem more of a match,
And no longer compete for my attention.

Going without no longer a big deal,
Small thing make me happy,
And being first in line I can pass on....

Hmmm self driving cars... kinda scary
It'll take some getting used to for the very wary
It'll certainly take trust
Open mindedness is a must
Won't be first in line, seems kinda hairy

There are twenty-six letters in the English alphabet.
They haven’t added any others as of yet.
Consider yourself lucky today
if your name begins with the letter “A”
In alphabetical order, you are one of the first in line.
My name begins with “P”.  You are well ahead of mine....

The
sale
today
starts at nine.
I was first in line.
The doors opened and I was gone,
I looked up and down the rows and rows and saw nothing.
I asked a clerk for my item, oh, he said, we are sold out. Darn it! How can that be!

Impatience of the proud


The proud and the selfish always need to be first in line
They cannot wait for anyone their self- importance is so sublime
They even pray to God 'Oh Lord please help me to be patient and be kind
But, can you hurry it up please, I'm really out of time'!

busybodies might help catch criminals
if they write down every type of car and license plate
parked on their block and the blocks around their blocks
it would be helpful too if they jotted down the drivers descriptions
they could then be elevated from arm chair detectives….
to real detectives.
I would be the first in line
if I had any neighbors
which I do not.
None close anyway...

The lord is my shepherd but I am not one of religions sheep
Show me a religion that adheres to Gods divine laws
Then may I will be the first in line to sound my applause
Effect and cause I believe is what is written on heavens gate
Gods everlasting walls
What you believe in whatever you choose as your faith
Wont opens heavens gate  
Your actions should if the God you represent is good...

Rolling down the highway
coming back the next day
No bag to pack
it was down and back
Drive overnight 
too nervous for a flight
Never failed to arrive in time 
to always be the first in line
Take a test and pay in cash
on the road with their stash
In a hurry couldn't wait
went around the crossing gate
Now he dreams of walking again
can't comprehend
he killed those two friends

It's all fun and games
until it's not...

I won t f  olllllow rul3s
Thunder so superior
because hes first in line
but equal both in time
Want to understand me
Please hold
Never meant to off the end
Backwards line this wrote i
Try to freeze the ice cube
Licking tongue with air
You have just walk by me by me twice
like i wasnt even there
Frustrated by the rated frust
put the dent in confit
Potatoes or gently pets otto
What is the difference between?
All the pity used...

What if people put others needs before their own?
Would it be condoned?
What if everyone helped those in need?
Would it make us bleed?
What if we let someone be first in line?
Should we not be kind?
What if we share with others?
Are we not all brothers?
What if we find that someone is poor?
Should they be ignored?
What if we praised the lord out loud?
Should we be scowled?
What if we sang songs of praise?
Should our homes be razed?
What if we showed others love?
What if?...
