Happy Mother's Day!

She was with us from the first breath we drew
And from us great honor is due
And part of her plan
Was to be our best fan
Our mothers, this day is for you

A Public Service Announcement

Orange barrels are now in full bloom
Please give highway workers some room
Please leave a bit early
And don't be so surly
Use defense and please don't assume

Bear Cams

When you strap a camera onto a bear
You see what they're doing out there
You might get the goods
Of what they do in the woods
Or if they are eating a chocolate eclair

Afoul of the Law

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

Intimidator Day

Seven times we know he won the Winston Cup
At the right time he would fire the number three up
Today's his birthday
Sixty two they do say
If he drove today, the crowd would start to erupt

Intellectual Properties

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

The Eagle Squawks

Random Act of Poetry™ 04/19/2013

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

A Great Snack Takes Flight

At one time those chicken wing parts
Were cheap at the super marts
Some thought they were hearty
Then became great at your party
It's popularity then got it's start

Spring Has Sprung

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

Stress Buster

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

Classic Post: Orange Barrel Lament

Orange barrels are starting to bloom

And on the roads they make less room

The evening rush will take more time

Minutes stolen are such a crime

Back in the time the roads were bricks

The streets would always need a fix

But in these times when roads are made

They all receive a failing grade

And now they want to add a lane

And make our ride a bit more sane

But nowadays when home we go

Construction makes our journey slow

It's time for this short poem to end

No more time on this to spend

Don't think of me that I am sour

Orange barrel is our state flower

Smile Awhile

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

April Showers....

When in April, you're getting those showers
In May, you be getting the flowers
If you're not a big fan
It's all part of a plan
To enjoy things in Summer for hours

Pump It Up, Pump..Well, Maybe Not

This year in the hall of fame
There was no one elected by name
They need a section
For those with the injection
Then steroids will not be to blame

Need To Take This Call

The cellphone has just turned four oh
It's popularity has not become slow
It's brought things to enjoy
Also stuff to annoy
It can help you stay in the know

The View From You

When you're considered one of the good sports
May be time when you get out of sorts
You may need a lift
Since your mood needs a shift
And your view of life sometimes distorts

Tune in Yesterday

The programs on television today
They might have a message to say
They may make you sigh
For shows of days gone by
Then you look for recordings to play

But Wait! There's More!

The sign says "As seen on TV"

On commercial breaks that we will see

It's always the latest

It may be the greatest

"But wait! There's more!" is their plea

Weather or Not

When we look at our weather report
We sometimes need to be a good sport
Will it be snow or rain
Someone needs to explain
Do we go outside or stay in our fort?
