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
