Late Nights
Clock strikes midnight
A time most begin to fright
But I alas is the time for me to hit the hay
Staying up late
Is becoming harder to take
When I was a young man I would start my nights late
As I grow older if find it hard to stay awake
Now midafternoon is my time
Not too early and not too late
Of course I try to prevent this fate
I try an afternoon nap
I sleep in late
All to no avail
As summer comes and the sun’s setting becomes delayed
My need to go to sleep will be downplayed
So I guess it’s time to lay me down to sleep
Until my bladder makes we wake
But that’s another story all together
Monday
The beginning of a new week
My head aches my body is weak
A weekend of rest and relaxation
Lying in bed until noon
Time with my wife we swoon
Staying up past midnight
Now Monday comes and I have to rise at first light
Crawling out of bed
Sleep still clouds my head
Into the shower I go
Shaving off my beard that has just begun to grow
Putting on my uniform and pulling on my boots
Heading out for another week of work
Somedays the weather is nice, somedays not so much
Monday comes and the only thing I can think of is
When will Friday arrive……

Friday Funnies…Hot Pockets
After watching this I dare you to go to the store, walk past the freezer aisle and not think of this when you pass some Hot Pockets.
Friday Funnies
Took my wife last year to see him for our anniversary, I don’t think I laughed so hard ever in my life.
Tick Tock
Tick tock tick tock
My thoughts are at a block
Ideas refuse to flow
Why, I just don’t know
Looking for words to present
My brain is completely spent
Tick tock tick tock
Times passes by
Into the ethereal my attention flies
Wasted away
My focus sways
Tick tock tick tock

Winter Wonderland
When I was a kid winter was a magical time of the year
Sledding, building forts, snow angels and so much more
A time to look forward to Christmas time and vacation
Looking forward to watching the snow fall
Heading outside to play till I was frozen to the bone
As I grew, the magic was replaced by just having fun
Snowball fights, skeetching behind the bus, and so much more
Getting our driver’s license and learning what fun it could be
Doing donuts in the snow, slide turns with the emergency brake
Going on ski trips, sledding until all hours in the dark
Adulthood hit and things began to change
The winter time was more of a pain
Driving to work, digging out the drive way and so much more
Yes there was times of fun
Playing with the kids, building snowmen and a few other things
What do I look forward to in winter now a days
I look forward to the first day of spring and the warmth it brings.
Itch
Creeping crawling under your skin
Not sure of where you should begin
Twisting turning trying to reach
Scratching clawing unable to find
Driving you crazy outta of your mind
Rubbing against a door frame for relief
Finding none but disbelief
Grabbing a stick if you dare
Rubbing it around without a care
Still no reprieve from that gnawing itch
It drives you crazy, son of a bitch
Asking a friend to dig in with their claws
Keep on missing the spot just because
Sweat forms on your brow
As you seek a respite
Trying to take a bite
Falling to the floor you try once more
Sliding yourself until your head hits the door
That itch, that itch
Ain’t it a bitch.
On Ice
Out I stepped
Slipping and sliding
On my feet I was gliding
Out of control
Feet on a roll
Up in the air they flew
I didn’t know what I would do
Down I landed
On my ass I planted
