Excuse? or Lifestyle Choice

Why do I put off things I think I want to do?

In theory the idea sounds great

In reality problems accumulate

When things become real

They are less than ideal

To preserve perfection, Procrastinate!

I wanted to get this done a couple of months ago, and couple of others to go along with it, but …

Stereotypes

For members of my High School class an insurance ad featuring Peter Pan prompted some comments from the women about cute, but ultimately undesirable, Peter Pan types.

He was always a boy, Peter Pan

Women hoped he would grow to a man

He seemed cute to them, first

But their opinion reversed

When he refused to mature per their plan.

A subsequent discussion somehow morphed into a story (carried on by the men) of how jealousy over a beautiful woman was the cause of many of society’s problems.

And then there was Helen of Troy

For her love men set out to destroy.

Did all that emotion

The love and devotion

Bring the beautiful Helen any joy?

Are these people anyone we know?

How? Why? and What are His Supporters Thinking?

Donald Trump says how great he will make this country, but doesn’t explain how.

When asked, the Donald dismisses

Details of his grandiose promises

The detail he’ll state

Is that Donald is great,

Sounds a bit to me like Narcissus.

So, why is he running?  It’s all about proving he’s the ultimate Winner.  Forget the Losers.

He’s a bully who belittles and taunts

With a bigoted view that he flaunts

By broadcasting his rants

The media grants

Donald Trump the publicity he wants.

Happy Thanksgiving

Call it dressing or stuffing, it tastes best when it’s cooked inside the turkey.

How much are you able to shove in

A turkey?  Can you get enough in

The bird’s cavity

For two helpings or three

So your guests make a verb out of stuffin'?

Harvest celebrations are ancient.  Thanksgiving became a national holiday by a declaration of Abraham Lincoln.  And before that?

Did the Natives sit down with the Pilgrims

To say grace, share food, and sing hymns?

It was so long ago,

That we’ll never know

But mythology grows as truth dims.
