Ode to Leap Day

This year we have an extra day
Enjoy it all, this much I say
Don't waste it all with all your fears
We get this day once in four years

Put this day up on your plate
This day is really more than great
And why I think it is so fine
It's February twenty nine

We may have rain we may have snow
The coming things we do not know
I really think it will be fine
The extra time, it will be mine

A holiday is not this time
But killing time is still a crime
Enjoy your day while it is here
An extra day to bring in cheer

Late 500

All right, the guys at NASCAR

Can think outside the box

Last night I watched the boogity man

Start the race on Fox

Lap one it went around okay

But lap two were several cars

Involving in a pileup

Including some big stars

I listened as I'm driving home

They're near the halfway point

The weatherman might have his say

Who wins inside this joint

I went to bed after J P M

Set his car and a truck ablaze

Blaney was now the car to beat

To win would be the craze

I wake up and I find that Matt

Had won another race

And this is one of thirty six

And he can set the pace

Mild Winter Limerick

It's been a real mild winter so far
There's not too much frost on my car
No temps way too low
No shoveling snow
A fortunate bunch we all are

Rain Delay Blues

It's raining in the sunshine state

To racing fans, it's not too great

A soggy start to begin the season

We can't rejoice, you know the reason

The blowers went around the track

To help us see the drivers back

It rained again, and made us sad

And people there they may be mad

Tomorrow they will start at noon

The engines will all hum their tune

Green flag will drop, then starts the chase

Turning left, the cars will race

Skipped Day Poem

Today I owe you two

I don't know what to do

I need to post a rhyme

I need to find the time

Sometimes when you set goals

You seem to get in holes

I guess I'll type it out

And post it here, no doubt

Friday Poem

Today is Friday

End of the week

Another one over

Continue a streak

Were able to rise

Able to move

Counting my blessings

These thoughts can soothe

When this day is over

I get time to rest

For next week get ready

To give it my best

Excess Pound Lament

When looking down
I know my fate
I need to go
And lose some weight

My bathroom scale
Does not lie
I step on it
And then I sigh

Some exercise
A needed cog
I need to walk
But cannot jog

I can't lose weight
By sitting here
Go to get up
While thoughts are near

You think alike?
You sing this song?
We'll both get up
And move along

Good luck to you
Good luck to me
Pounds will go down
We'll watch with glee
