Caution - Trick Question

 

Is it harder to scrape doodoo from your shoe or to keep politicians off your television screen, out of your mailbox and off the posters along the road.

Trick question.  You can never get rid of the stench of either.

 

Dear people of the Future,

 

As you read this Blog, you may notice it is sprinkled with some negative comments about politicians.  Our current society is rampant with them.  Most have learned to not scatter when the lights come on, although some still scurry along the baseboards, behind closed doors. 

At this time, I have neither a suggestion for their replacement, nor do I have the ear of anyone in authority who might impose a change.  I am simply one of the sheep following along, although refusing to drink the Kool-Ade.  (Old Reference) 

If you are reading this, let me say here that I’m surprised it has survived.  I may not have.  Those swimming against the current tend to wash up on shore further downstream.  

Being aware that people don’t read this for my opinion, I am attempting to avoid adding such comments on future posts.  Here’s the thing, it is election time and the idiots are in full bloom.  That is what prompted this particular blathering.  But I shall stop now and let you continue on your way.

The Game Saving Play

 

It was at the 50-yard line, the wine makers were desperate to increase profit but reluctant to raise prices.  One enterprising young man said, “It’s time we punt.” 

By pushing the bottom of the wine bottle up and into the bottle, we can add less wine but charge the same price.

 

Now you know the rest of the story.

 

I didn't have any of these

 

A friend of mine knew I collected tiny shadows, so he gave me these for my collection. 

 

Now I See

 

New in town and a stranger to glass, I was impressed both by windshields and candy dishes.  How clever this invention.  You can curl it for holding a beverage, or it can be flattened over a hole in the wall and used for looking out or looking in.  In small bits, some put frames around them and wear them on their face, wrapped around their ears and dangling off their nose.  Tiny windshields for the eyes.

Strike 3

 

How arrogant the humans

to think they can repair

all the damage they have done

to the oceans and the air,

 

The game is all but over

with humans still at bat

you cannot see to center field

the air is so darn fat.

 

Conservation - is a swing and miss

Recycle is an out –

The weather, it has stopped the game

acid rain – no doubt.

 

Landfills and Cemeteries

lay just beyond the gate

quiet spins the planet

plastic bottle at home plate.

    Perhaps a little dismal.  Somewhat bleak, albeit viewed from the stands. 

Disappointed

 

When you advertised Pelican Rock
I was expecting something a little bigger.

What if...

 

The long-legged Turkeys

bending down to eat

Pecking around for snacks

down around their feet,

 

Short legged birds

never have to bend

Not like an ostrich

more like a hen,

 

Long-legged birds

seems so unfair

life would be great

if food was in the air,

 

How great to see a burger

floating in the sky

a levitating soda

a flock of passing fries.
