And Whoo's Birthday is Today?

Today's a birthday
Can't you see
And I will tell you
Now with glee
I know you want
To hear some more
This birthday man
Is Theodor
Who is this man
This Geisel guy
He now writes poems
Up in the sky
I will tell you
It is my plan
I will tell you
About the man
Growing up
You heard his rhymes
They are the greatest
Of all the times
All the rhymes
Wrote by the man
We all did read them
A dandy plan
But if you're puzzled
And need a clue
You might be stumped
And wonder whoo                                                                                               If Horton comes
And eats green ham
The Grinch might come
And hit you-BAM!
If red and blue fish
Will hop on pop
You'll guess this man
And you're on top
I now will say
I will let loose
This birthday guy
Is Doctor Seuss

A Freebee

I'm not on the clock
This one is free
I exceeded my goal
I say with glee

I proved to myself
I still can rhyme
Last ten days proved
Test of my time

Be back in the morrow
Some things to say
Be back to observe
A special birthday

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
