Majority Leader

Mitch McConnell just missed the boat
His elephant said - and I quote:
"It seems rather clear
The suckers are here
Giving Amy McGrath the vote!"

Premium Member Lunchtime In The Dark

When you find yourself stuck in a corner
You will turn and see rules spread all over
Soon be lost in the shuffle
Up the creek with no paddle
Missed the boat like a fish out of water

My teenage years were filled with dreams Being a sports star, missed the boat it seems A couch potato I am Eating bread and jam Cheering from the sidelines but bursting at the seams

“Win Some, Lose Some, And Some Get Rained Out” Miracle Man 4/24/2024 Sometimes my investments cause me to gloat, but not those times when I’ve missed the boat. Some days I cruise, On other days I lose. It’s then I feel as helpless as a tied up goat.

Sea of Green

One spring morn

A boat set sail

Sailing away

On a sea of green

All the flowers

Were on board

Traveling forth

New sights to see

All the snails

Were too slow

Missed the boat

Didn’t sail

Gophers too

Left behind

Staying out

Of bright sunshine

Sail away

On a sea of green

Going forth

In the new day


Premium Member Skittles

I missed the boat. The cat senryu contest was sitting in the bay. Now I watch from the shore. As I was late for my date. The sun shines on the 35 campers who set sail early, and rightfully so. I'll never be a swan. And Skittles, who tries so hard, will never know if she won.


my cat can shashay 
she takes the catwalk, star-struck
dinner time prelude

Timing

Timing is the key to whether
Many things pan out.
We wait too long, we’ve missed the boat;
We know what that’s about.

Procrastination may cause
Opportunities to fade
And then regret kicks in
For the decisions we’ve not made.

The timing of a venture
May determine its success.
Too soon or late may wreck it,
Thereby adding lots of stress.

Comedians are criticized
If they can’t nail their timing,
Like rhythmless musicians
(Or a poet bad at rhyming).
