Every once in a while you
See them out on the streets.
The car is packed full of
People with goofball looks.
They hang their legs out of
The car windows and cruise
Around and around singing
Off-key songs to blaring
Music. It’s been said they
May have come from
Another planet–of Goofs.
Sitting in the center of
The city stands the
Towering cathedral,
A source of faith and
Worship for followers
From all over the city.
It could be a finger
Pointing straight to
Heaven.
Let’s take a break today.
When we were teenagers
It was a custom to go to
Some abandoned property
Where there was a well.
We would drop a coin in
And make a wish. The
Funny thing was you
Wouldn’t hear the coin
Hit the bottom. Once
Someone thought they
Heard a voice deep
Down in the well
Saying help me, help
Me. A professional at
Rescuing people in
These situations threw
A rope over the side
And went down. He
Was never seen again.
There are many different
Kinds of cloud shapes
That can be seen in the
Sky above. Children like
To lie down on their
Backs in a field and look
At the big puffy curious
Clouds high in the sky
On a warm summer day.
Some people think they
See angel clouds, others
Think they see shapes
Of animals. When you
Look up at the sky
What do you see?
The weekend is a time to
Unwind from the stresses
And strains of the week
And do the things you
Want to do. You can be
Yourself, sleep late and
Not do anything if you
Want to. The weekend
Is your time. If work
Calls, let it go to
Voicemail.
To accomplish anything in
Life it takes enthusiasm,
Drive or passion. All great
Things people have done
For the betterment of
Humanity have been done
By lone individuals who
Burned the midnight oil
Until they achieved the
Breakthrough that gave
Humanity a great gift.
Of all the quotations I’ve known one jumps
Out at me most of all, that is love all the
People you have. Embrace them and tell
Them you love them. Love is strong but
Also fragile. When the day comes and
They aren’t with you anymore, physically
You both are still united in love.
Back in our younger
Days we all enjoyed
Going to the drive-in.
Several of us crammed
In a car eating popcorn
And enjoying soft
Drinks snuck in. The
Movies were weird
But we barely noticed
Because we enjoyed
Each other’s company
More.
Americans are always ready
To get on the highway and
Take a road trip. Going to
A different place every
Summer is something
Families always look
Forward to. Hook up a
Travel trailer and camp
Out in a new place every
Evening. These are
Vacation times to
Remember.
