Hats are like faces
When you put one on
You become someone else....

If the road is long and treacherous

Your legs feel like lead

Put one foot in front of the other 

Never surrender  

Persevere instead...

Each day the airwaves brings an expert
Leaves one in awe a trifle inert
There they are on the telly
Advice on setting a jelly
Enough to put one off their dessert.

Here we are
  fully vaccinated
wearing masks
  like we've done something wrong

Seeing a good friend
  without a mask at the super
nudging him lightly to put one on
  Read the sign, he says, it's ok now...

What you must do
to have a Happy New Year
is simply to put one foot
in front of the other
being kind to 
one another
try your
best at work
and rest
follow the
Golden Rule
You will
have a 
Happy New Year!...

Time passing life spending itself.
I spent another day of my life again today,
I can't manage to save at all,
I wish I could put one or two by,
But I mean how much is a day worth these days
What's the price to see time fly?...

Lift a ten pound bag of potatoes over your head
Next lift a twenty pound bag over your head instead
Finally a fifty pound bag
You performed like a stag
Finally put one potato in each bag you'll probably dread...

Instructions for walking, listen very carefully
Put one foot in front of the other, it'll feel like ecstasy
If you step sideways
You'll wind up in driveways
Owners will think you're a felon and beat you unmercifully...

Someone put one in my pocket 
I was hoping it was you 
It would have been so wonderful 
An answer to my query, who?
I'm not sure why necessarily 
But I'll tell you from my point of view:
I'd be honored to know that you think me so
Meaning you think that I am sweet too...

If the stars that shine in heaven
Counted our moments together,
I'd want more than all that number,
More than a heaven of stars.

And if every day that I'll love you
Will put one more star up above you,
When our days are at their twilight,
We'll have a heaven of stars....

I sit here 
Writing my poetry, 
A tray of atomic fireballs 
Sit in front of me. 

I put one in my mouth 
It feels like my tongue's on fire, 
Feeling like I walked 
Across a live wire.

When I travelled to London Town
I never expected this to go down
Artful Dodger came out of the dark
Smiled at me, as if I was a lark

He was rumpled and crumpled, this tallish boy
I did not know what to say, so I said “ahoy”.
He put one finger in front of his mouth and faded away.
I was glad I had come to London Town on this day....

Sternly said.”Listen Up-You”..
It won’t ever work..get over it.
Amazingly spineless in this case,
This is really not like me at all.

Over, never really was, OVER
Damn fate brought his face in view.
One sided..always knew it.
Now, Put one foot forward, then the other….
                MOVE ON . ORG

It may seem a trifle to the horde -
Or perhaps mere mordacious wit.
But I, wizened more than most afford,
Was not shackled by some rhyme unfit.

He let his brain loiter as he wrote -
Hoping his pen would elicit praise.
"Cartridge", said he, "is a bird of note"
But I've put one in guns all my days

HOPE
Sometimes it is hard to have hope
Some days it is hard to cope
Remember, hope is always there
There’s always hope, someone who cares
Live your life one day at a time
Otherwise, the mountain is too hard to climb
Put one foot in front of the other
One day soon you will discover
Hope is there to help you through
Don’t give up, whatever you do.

I'm just looking for a way out
But I don't always see the red illuminated exit sign
I think every door I see is an entrance
I think it's a sign that it's not my time to leave
So, breathe
Stop
Calm down
Just breathe 
Pick yourself back up
Put one foot in front of the other
And know you are always in the right place no matter where you are
p.s. don't worry the cure is you...

The deepest sleep

 He had been sleeping deeply
 woke up tried to be awake before the sleep
 took him into the depth of death.
He struggled to open his eyes, couldn`t.
Knew he had to make it, was able
to put one foot on the floor, the coldness 
of the floor made him open his eyes.
He inhaled intensely it had been a close call
had he slept five minutes more 
It had been too late....

I produce old silk flags to undulate the mist-
I”m just another Torturated Body from the East
I take the Medicine and try to resist
among Big Mammals, fighting with a spoon
I put one foot on the Moon for a catatonic walk
and the other foot on the street
to sustain the back
under a yellow skirt
wearing an orange shoe
that gives a great stability
by throwing out sweet glue.

How do you get to there from here
How do you wrest the untouched fear.

Why you just put one foot in front of the other
And never look to the rear.

Its just a matter of time they say
One step is further than none.

Before you know it, you're way ahead 
of the place You once begun.

How do you get to there from here
No one surely knows,
As the best in life is on the road
That no one often goes....

I put one foot in front of the other
Has I found myself walking above the ocean
Magnificent feeling running down my spine
I can touch the sky, view the world

Smell the flourishing smell through the air
For I do not dare, spoil this dream
I'm singing with the birds, floating on clouds
Collecting all the stars, one by one
As, I lay my head on the moon
Fall myself to sleep and hope I re-dream
This same dream...

There’s this place in New York City
Where I buy my pizza piled high with ziti
Now I admit it’s not too pretty
But just one bite and I’m in a tizzy

Pasta on pizza may not sound real great
But put one slice upon your plate
You’ll need a fork and perhaps a knife
And you’ll be hooked for the rest of your life

Just one slice a meal does make
But I always come back for more
Then two men it does take
To roll me out the door...

Its times like this when I sit and think,
Who would really miss me if I left for good?
Would anybody care or just shrug it off? 
It feels like I can barely breathe.

So I will get liquored up and go for a walk,
And I will end up in the same place like I always do,
Standing on this roof looking at the view.

There is no way out for me.
This is my last breath.

I put one foot over the edge and the other follows suit.
I’m finally free....

Wheels in her mind turn left and right, they twist
and turn while controlling her sight,
If one wheel stopped working then her body would
to, she would become nothing and that just
wouldn't do,
So she functions them correctly to make sure she doesn't
mess something up, till one day she thought of her
maker and put one wheel in a strut,
It fell from the others into the dark and the girl stopped
working from the loss of that part....

The gas has gone, gasp,
walk, and walk fast 
the pump drips drops 
and the drops don't last 

what a bloody disaster, 
gotta run to go faster, 
hope your lungs still function 
or be dead in a casket

just put one foot down
move the other one passed it 
feel the nostalgia, remember it now, 
before you were a fat lazy bastard 

the days are so cold, 
now the heating's gone too 
put some clothes on 
stop walking around nude...
