The antecedent at a juncture.
Your face laying on my timeline.
A just God somewhere....

When my ex wife cashes her alimony check, all tellers shoot her a hard glance.

Did you get the memo from the boss

Stocks are way down they took a big loss

Now he said he can't afford our pay

Looks like unemployment's on the way...

Pretending So Am Spending

Trump has been person who is pretending;
Another ignorant memo he started sending;
Outrageous;
Contagious;
What he prefers must be lying and spending.

Another book misplaced,
another search through piles 
of bills. My car keys dis-
and reappeared. Was it 
the cat who hid my glasses?
Why, here’s that memo
I’ve been missing!
How things get shifty
with the years....

Nunez Nonsense Memo

Phony Bunch of Bologna

Trump is sure to win another Tony, 
For all of his big bunch of Bologna; 
Up to his ears, 
Drawing tears; 
Proves that he is putrid and phony,
And squishy as some salty abalone.

Interval over,the shamrocks,had their say
Two tries blew the reds away-
Fear of winning led to mistakes
Until O'Gara's drop goal
Lifted every Irish soul


Memo: Ireland won the Rugby Grand slam yesterday 21st for the first time since 1948...

In a warm morning in Colombo
There is a package in a bow
And a letter say, "Love, I'll be home tomorrow"
A gift and love memo, what a perfect combo

*Since Im living in Colombo, it will be rude to not mention it, atleast once ;)...

Power of a mom 
Keeps everything calm 
Busy as can be
With no fee 
Holding a hand 
Being a fan 
Having answers when in a jam 
While frying dinner in a pan 
There is so much caring  
Mom trusting and sharing 
As a driving force 
Mom is the number one source...

It has reach its destination
When a plan you thought would work, does not
And a plan you thought would not work, does
It makes you think, does is it
Definitely

It has reach its climax
When the puzzle keeps unfolding
And the pieces follow the sequence
It leaves the mind at ease
Proudly so...

Manipulating measurements, marking misguided memos

choice of the day 
was 
clear 
when your voice
ran against my ear

soothe any aching 
tension that comes from 
the air 

removes any vision 
that don't need to 
be here. right 
where you are 
 i need to be there
no note 
no letter 
no memo 
but whats in my 
heart that set fourth
my love unconditional....

Here is some great advice to help you through the day
The whole world was meant to laugh and enjoy life
It's just that some of you didn't get the memo
Well that's okay, it's never too late to start
What is happening with these lines
They keep on getting shorter
I've totally lost control
I am possessed
I... uh...

Memo to self: eat the sun
Money don't run down ski slopes
Human breathe might be cosmic
There's no telling what we'll do

Telegram to flag:
Patriotism is native like tobacco leaves
Stars will always shine
Streaming through marching ballads

Dreaming time to waking eyes:
The sound is not the form
It's just pleasure on the tongue
Make your kitchen a devil palace...

Beasts, foul and great famine
It happened just as we had feared
There was no noise
There was no sound
We could not hear..
The Word had promised angel voices
Rejoicing fervently and true
For the ones who missed the memo
Their senses mute..
We'll make it back everyone said
We'll join God's army, re-enlist
But God's great army and His chosen
Walked away into the mist...

I said, “No.” and I meant it.
There was a memo. You know I sent it.
No...it's not something you can deny
And I have no interest in hearing why.
Your read receipt’s right here.
And the memo’s meaning was quite clear.
Despite that memo, you failed to comply.
So, for you, I’ll further clarify. 
I have faith that you will surely understand,
When I put this ‘pink slip’ in your hand....

I cherish every raindrops which dance upon my face
Occasional piano accompaniment drift along my pace
On the trails which tickles my fifth sense of taste
Millions molecular beam saved every curt memo as a lace
Which knitted through every single wink of my grace
Again, I cherish every raindrops which dance upon my face


Love the moment, love the drizzle 
Love the ambiance which showered in a dazzle...

Words unsaid
Loss is laid


Gone too soon
Ere next noon


Dead on time
A lost chime


In life brief
Echoes grief


State too late
Empty plate


Loss feels deep
Final sleep


Sad looks bleak
Knees feel weak


Eyes droop low
Last light glows


Farewell then
Loss knows when


End game woes
Time to go


Pay cheque paid
Jobs waylaid

Memo times
My Momma always told me
when a Star falls from the sky 
tis means a believer past away 
Gone to be by our Lord's Side

But when a New Star apears 
in the atmosphere 
New babe in Christ
someone recieved Eternal Life-

But when you see
Shooting Star across the sky 
tis God's Angel Flying by.. using God Speed
to help whomsoever in Need

Oh.. how I miss her 
loving heart.. ways
God Bless her Soul...

Nature didn't get the memo.
The weatherman said sunny and bright.
According to what I see now,
I suppose he got it half right.

The sun is no where in evidence,
conspicuous by it's absence, at best.
It's bright all right, that's for sure.
With a layer of white we've been blessed.

I really don't like the winter.
Cold weather just isn't for me.
But even I can admit it's pretty,
this blanket of white that I see....

Calendars and note cards,
Labels by the score,
Memo pads and bookmarks,
Wrapping paper, sometimes more.

Every single charity
Reaches out to see
If any of their offers
Unlocks generosity.

For some I get the checkbook
(Yes, old-fashioned, but it works)
And send in a donation
To offset those little perks.

But after I am dead and gone,
My family, bereft,
Will be shocked at just how many
Address labels I have left.

I see the small flashes of the last remaining fireflies in the dark September sky. A couple of stragglers, unaware that even in the warm night, that summer is drawing to an end. Apparently they had not received the memo the rest of their brothers had. Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one aimlessly flying around, clueless to the enviable change. Goodnight lost little fireflies. Goodnight kindred spirits of the warm September night......
