Celebrate life! Love, laugh, live it up,

The homeless shout out senseless vowels
Whilst seniors suffer from loose bowels
Public toilets are closed
Just because its supposed
Someone might infect absent towels?

Words to the Graduate

Seniors, pause to thank your teachers
for helping you make the climb.
Life's most precious creatures  
rise to the reason and rhyme
for words on the leaves of time.

Spring’s budding, branching arbors,
saplings to sappy seniors,
are all stalwarts with ringed hearts
and life giving leaves.

Even though years ago, they cleaned

Premium Member Violence, Phishing, Scams

      Violence, phishing scams
        if no guns, vans are battering ram

        defraud seniors of their life savings

Across the Memory Pond

A Candlewick bedspread,
it must be Blackpool or Paris.

A towering sadness,
for she is lost between the waves
of there and now.

Moonlight above the 'Golden Coral',
Wednesday is half-price for seniors.

Premium Member Uncle Didi

Uncle Didi stays in abbeys and churches.
Ministers, nuns, monks gather.
Group of seniors, veterans lurches.
He was never a minister -- a butcher.
Behind the church is a shop,
  where he used to work and chop.

The Final Bell

my last day
bell rings
seniors scream
seniors cry
today is our last day
today was our last day
its over
finally over
we move on
we separate
we grow
we leave
we graduate
its over
I can't believe its over

SSA

I’ve worked for years and 
Had to put up with being
Mistreated, favoritism and
Unfairness in order to 
Make a living and pay my bills
I am now of retirement age
To find out the money
I paid out is now in jeopardy
It’s my money, don’t touch it

SENIORS

Seniors should be
Care for and protected
Not upset and having
To worry about their future
Wondering where they're going to get
Their next meal, how to
Pay for medication or
Even their bills, even Germany
respects and cares for their seniors

Boys To Men

As boys when at dances when at dances 
when a girl gets close we look at the grow.
As teens at school dances we cant keep
our eyes off their headlights.
As adults when at dances we cant take our
eyes off of sports on tv.
As seniors at dances we cant keep our eyes open.
