Sometimes, even when the power is off, it takes my mind time to slow to a stop.

 

A man sitting upon a horse

is called – a cowboy.

 

A boy sitting upon a cow

is asking for trouble.

 

A businessman out on a ledge

is going to jump, and is already 

in trouble.

 

While a car on the street below

requires a jump, and is causing

trouble.

Someone with two left feet

can't dance,

are a medical marvel, 
and hard to buy shoes for.

Overall, not all farmers wear them.

The squirrel has running’s full of jumps

Poison Ivy causes bumps

Bosses always turn to chumps

While mashed potatoes can have lumps.

 

A hunter’s wall is full of heads

Before were live, now are deads

I’m thinking hunters all would dread

If deer had all the guns instead.

Okay, I'm done now.

 

With a pinch of Salt

 

It is in life

I’ve muddled through

and now

that I’m retired –

I’d like to say

a thing or two –

before I am expired.

Back-up cameras

I think they’re great

not crazy

about the drones –

Stop walking

in the city

while staring

at your phones.

I’m glad there’s no

Report cards

For when we are

Retired,

When every day’s

a holiday

It’s hard to get

inspired.

Leave your shoes

outside the door

be happy

and be kind,

Be careful with

your pennies,

generous

with your time.

Never believe

the things I say

don’t treat them

like they’re true,

Remember

as it was in life

I barely muddle through.

Acme Glass Company

 

accidently installed shower door glass

in my front room window.

Waiting for a Nibble

 

Uncomfortable seat

Cloudy

Cast a line away -

Quiet lake

Bobber floats

Waiting most the day -

Stupid fish

Doesn't bite

Yet it swims so near,

Mosquitoes

they begin to lite

I'll have another beer -

A friend of mine

he catches fish

once caught

he sets them free -

though not before

he takes a pic

and shows the thing to me.

 

Thanks for a fun year

 

Feeding Frenzy

Insufficient Fun

 

If I were to receive mental notices from my memory about my time in school, each notice would be marked insufficient fun.  I’m thinking school could be so much better than it is.  Most of my instructors were way too serious.  I’m thinking, less Albert Einstein and more Alfred Newman is called for. 

People striving to become teachers should first spend a month as a stand-up comic.  Making the transition from a smoky nightclub to the front of a classroom could make them more aware that there is more than one way to see the world around them.  Losing your audience has less devastating effects than losing a group of students.  One affects just you, while the other has far reaching ripples.

Creating an environment conducive for learning has gotten pushed to the margins of the curriculum.  If not glossed over, it is forgotten altogether.   Although technology has become interwoven, it should never take center stage.  The human condition will always remain, no matter the endeavor, and when it ceases to be fun, test scores and robots will be all that remain.
