No need to have a Facebook account, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/actsofpoetry?ref=hl">you can just go there and check it ou</a>t. If you do have an account, find it and like it. the page is called <a href="https://www.facebook.com/actsofpoetry?ref=hl">Random Acts of Poetry</a>.<br />

<br />
When your car has to come to a stop<br />
And the man walking up is a cop<br />
What is your excuse<br />
For unlawful abuse<br />
Is it good or will it be slop<br />

When I get up to start my day<br />
I go and find a song that I can play<br />
Then I go find a quote<br />
That people can note<br />
Then a poem and a question to say<br />

When payday has finally come<br />
You take your working sum<br />
Some go pay all their bills<br />
Others go and seek thrills<br />
Some go out to dinner and say yum<br />

At one time those chicken wing parts<br />
Were cheap at the super marts<br />
Some thought they were hearty<br />

Today as I was mowing my lawn<br />
The thoughts of good weather would dawn<br />
It occurred as each pass<br />
Of cutting the grass<br />
The excitement didn't cause me to yawn<br />

<br />
There are days when you start feeling stressed<br />
It leaves you not feeling your best<br />
You need more than a minute<br />
With you alone in it<br />
Relaxing, not part of a test<br />

What is a smile, you may ask<br />
An answer is part of this task<br />
For some, it may begin<br />
With a broad, toothy grin<br />
For others a glow where you bask<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
On commercial breaks that we will see</div>

It's always the latest</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It may be the greatest</div>

"But wait! There's more!" is their plea</div>

From all the ones who post<br />
From those who use it little<br />
To those who use it most<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: right;">
Some there just post music</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
And others post some news</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
And some are not too bashful</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
As they go and post their views</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Some go and post their business</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And problems with their work</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
But when some go and then respond</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
They act just like a jerk</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
We go and search for old friends</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
And folks who went to school</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
And some we didn't like too much</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
They now seem very cool</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Sometimes this social magic</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
With which we make amends</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It helps up to reach right out</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And make some great new friends</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
And now with this sixth stanza</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
It will become the last</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
Thank you Mr. Zuckerberg</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
Your Facebook is a blast</div>

In the endless quest for motivation<br />
You search all over creation<br />
But you never suppose<br />
It's up under your nose<br />
What causes the greatest sensation<br />

February is more than half done<br />
And sports fans are about to have fun<br />
Baseball and racing will bring gladness<br />
And soon there's March Madness<br />
And many sports yarns will be spun<br />
