When I saw the no bingo
Sign today, I yelled GREAT–
I hate that game! People
Sitting around playing for
The chance of winning
Potato chips or soft drinks,
When I would rather win a
Big, fat bacon cheeseburger!

People something to do at
The senior center.
The archer stands at the edge
Of the forest looking out over
The field. The wind is blowing,
The birds are taking off from
The fields. A deer stands within

Looking for, he’s looking for
His lost love.

We dance the dance
The joy is in the love,
The process, the
Eternal now.

Sports there is. You hook
Yourself into a harness and
Attach a rope which is fixed
Securely to an anchor and
Start at an unhurried speed
Over the side of the cliff,
Playing out the line slowly.
Some rappellers get their
Thrills by going over the
Sides of tall buildings.
