4/17/24Death poem cc 1/20/2020

Death poem

I came I saw I did a lot

But now I know it don't mean squat

The few things I found that have real meaning

Are gratitude, love  and friends convening

My wife my kids my friends my dog and cat

It don't make no difference if I die fat

The final message is short and sweet

My trip through time is been some great treat

Yesterday we went to a memorial service for 

My friend Tim  

The message came across loud and clear

Be kind and grateful before you disappear

We spent some time together the day before he died

We laughed and joked and question why

I said there's a chance that we'll meet again

He said if not so what stay well my friend

4/13/24 It takes as Long As it takes cc 9/13/17

It takes as

Long

As it takes

I can't wait till I'm through

There's so much to do

Then 50 years flew by

As the end draws near

There's nothing to fear

 I'll finish the plan

Whenever I can

If not              So what

Dead forever

Never to remember

All is well

It takes as

Long

As it takes

4/10/24 The brain is not Designed For so much Use cc12/17/17

The brain is not

Designed

For so much

Use

Computers, smart phones, Internet

Newscast, podcast, national debt

Concerts, movies, sports events

Hackers, protesters, malcontents

We are creatures designed to survive

And procreate to keep the race alive

It's no wonder we have these ills 

The most used drugs are crazy pills

Be kind and peaceful think and sit

Turn off the screens and don't transmit

The brain is not

Designed

For so much

Use

4/7/24God please Don't kill me Yet 11/14 /17

God please

Don't kill me

Yet

This voyage that you have sent me on

It is one incredible phenomenon

It only took me 80 years

To give up all my stupid fears

I learned a lot in the last decade

It makes me even more dismayed

Now I know I'll never know

What I don't know but before I go

One thing I can now say clearly

Be grateful kind and love life dearly

God please

Don't kill me

Yet

4/3/24/ Do less get more cc 7/10/34

Do less

Get more

Busy busy all the time

Never anytime to rhyme

This day ahead will be gone forever

I'll choose carefully what I endeavor

Good decisions change things fast

Days fly by but outcomes last

Where in 5 years would I like to be

Rich and famous, thin and free?

I'll set my sails and stay the course

And time will kill me without remorse

Do less

Get more

3/30/24 Stay balanced In both Praise and censure cc 5/13/24

Stay balanced

In both

Praise and censure

If I want to keep on learning

I'll give up all my silly yearning

To stand out and be really cool

Not just one more ignorant fool

So time is short and life is good

Why care if I'm miss understood

I'll take a stand and do my best

And forgo my concern about the rest

Stay balanced

In both

Praise and censure

3/27/24The unexpected Lurks gleefully In every instant c

The unexpected

Lurks gleefully

In every instant

The same old thing keeps coming up

Sudden-death or just a broken cup

I stumble around in my last days

In the same old self-deluded hays

Life has never been this good

Because I never understood

It's not what happens that makes the day

But how I react and what I say

So from now on I'll pay attention

And give up all my apprehension

The unexpected

Lurks gleefully

In every instant
