Premium Member Bouncing Gazelle

Thomson gazelle bounces as she runs
showing predators chasing her would not be fun
she’s pretty common in Africa these days
Bouncing around in her usual happy ways

Premium Member Tough Times

"Judge I just don't get it pleaded Pete,
Owner of Heavenly Escorts Elite,
  Given the economy's plight
  And with no relief in sight,
We’re just trying to make ends meet"

What are we to make of five over three improperly?
Ah, convert to one plus two over three, properly. 
Yes, but what now of one plus two over three?
‘Tis a most proper one over three of five you see.

Premium Member The Unlit Candle

"The light of the world.” 

Those who carry out the Great Commission 
Are 'oft mistaken in their hopeful persuasion 
That truth once spoken will ignite faith outright.
Yet, ‘tis the unlit candle must come to the light.

Regressing to the mean

Mortality seemed "out there", a long climb; 
A somewhen to think about another time,
A cloudiness too distant from my prime.
Too quickly have I regressed to the mean
And my end time no longer a dream.

You don’t pick radishes. 
You pull radishes, bent over
Workin’ backwards, ten hours. 

Rubber band ‘em by the dozen
Bushel full, boss pays eight bits. 
Twenty bushel good day. 
Band 99 cents at the Kroger.

Make it to America, land 
Of opportunity. Walk for 
Your children, pull for your
Grandchildren.

The Baby We Never Knew

The baby we never knew                                          R.I.P 2008
Is the one we made together
The baby we never knew
Is the one we named
The baby we never knew 
Is the one we will never 
forget
The baby we never knew
Is the one that will be watching
over us
The baby we never knew 
will live on in our hearts forever

L.R Thomson
we will never forget you


love your mother

Claytonia 

How God ignited the living continuum
No mind can fathom; nor therefrom,
How we sparked to flame.
 
Yet, some Sparks must beget Starbursts-
Not Stars; Ephemerals, in their fleeting bursts, 
Are needed not less than Oaks. 

I kneel in prayer to lift up her small light
Against the dark, not to mourn what might,
But illuminate the birthright of the briefest life.

Premium Member Thompson and Thomson

Thompson 
Identifies himself with ‘p’ for a reason
He has a moustache that is straight
And investigation is his trait. 
 
	
Thomson 
The other of the duo makes a clear division
By growing moustache with turns in ends
Associates with his identical and creates new comic trends.
