Lets meet
My treat.
She died
We cried.
Trapeze
Don't sneeze.
Lent fast
Wont last.
Blown leaves
Bare trees.
Roulette
Place bet.
Strip tease
Weak knees.
Sunday
You pray.
Babe Wakes
Sleep breaks.
Work shy
Bye bye.
Contest
Who's best.
Jobs done
Now fun.
Bewitched
Nose twitched.
Team wins
Big grins.
Mask off
Don't cough.

Self Improvement
1/29/2018
Work-shy men spend a lifetime operating in a hole,
Having let go of the rope of sacrifice they can’t climb out.
For every encouraging thing another might offer,
Come three adverse reasons why they can’t.
Self improvement isn’t a pipe dream that you just wish for,
Some choose the path of least resistance
Having frequent “woe is me” moments;
Continuous self improvement always requires setting goals,
A burning desire and a commitment to sacrifice;

Idle and aimless, living on the dole
Going in circles like fish in a bowl.
