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!
Oh well, it gives elderly
People something to do at
The senior center.
The poet is lost, he wanders
All over town, even going
Out to the countryside. He
Is sure he has left something
Somewhere but forgot
Where. What the poet is
Looking for is the perfect
Word to finish his poem.
Everybody wants to be
Thanked when they do
Something good for
Someone else. Or if they
Have worked hard at
Something and finally
Achieved their goal.
Giving thanks is more
Important to the person
Than a monetary reward.
Some things are easy to
Accomplish, some require
A huge amount of effort. It
Puts a strain on anybody’s
Resources to get a hard job
Done. The key to succeeding
To anything hard is something
Called perseverance. It will
Get the job done.
Every one flocks to
The Dollar Tree every
Day of the week. They
Grab the bargains and
Save a lot of money.
There is something
For everyone. It does
Not get much better
Than this!
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.
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.
I’ve been to a lot of different
Places, I’ve roamed the world,
Lived in different countries and
Been to every state in our country.
I haven’t been home for a long
Time, but I feel something
Pulling me back and that
Something is you.
