To Be Snow Or Not To Be Snow
To be snow or not to be snow
That is the question
Whether tis noble to go out and try to make it to the hockey game
Or stay home and be out 32 bucks for two tickets
And by going out into that frigid mess and die
To sleep no more
And by a sleep and say we end
The frostbite and a thousand little pins of pain shooting across my foot
To consume overpriced pizza and Mt Dew
To dream of an income that will allow me to partake in souvenirs
When I will shuffle off this wild hockey puck
To die, but I know my chances to sleep no more are better at a baseball game
Or if I was in England, at a football(soccer) game
Those hockey players are fit and brave, and there's the rub
For they practice many long hours and they have my utmost respect
They will bear the boos and scorns of the crowd if they fail to score enough goals
The other team will be consumed with pride
And in that pride will be consumed with lost love
Of their few fans who made the perilous trip from Chicago, the windy city
To go back and grunt and sweat under a weary life'
A life like the Chicago Bears and the gun-toting cowards that live there
And lose once again in the name of pride and inaction

About this poem:
This is a parody of To be or not to be from Hamlet by William Shakespeare. I may go to a hockey game tonight.2020 Resolutions
Use less plastic straws
Use less plastic bags
Save the planet
Eat more fruits and vegetables so less cows and pigs are raised in factory farms
Watch Dr. Phil so i can be a more sensitive man
Walk more so my car doesn't spew out harmful toxins that cause global warming
Continue to have no kids so the world won't be overpopulated
Don't hunt so wild animals can live in peace
Don't drive after dark in rural areas so I don't hit deer with my car
If the water's yellow let it mellow, if the water's brown, flush it down
Follow and support Greta Thunberg
Eat foods that arn't wrapped in plastic as much as possible
Keep myself informed on global warming and polar bears
Use less plastic bags
Save the planet
Eat more fruits and vegetables so less cows and pigs are raised in factory farms
Watch Dr. Phil so i can be a more sensitive man
Walk more so my car doesn't spew out harmful toxins that cause global warming
Continue to have no kids so the world won't be overpopulated
Don't hunt so wild animals can live in peace
Don't drive after dark in rural areas so I don't hit deer with my car
If the water's yellow let it mellow, if the water's brown, flush it down
Follow and support Greta Thunberg
Eat foods that arn't wrapped in plastic as much as possible
Keep myself informed on global warming and polar bears

About this poem:
I was watching a docomentary called Plastic Planet.
WILLIAM WINTER 1792 Last man to hang in Northumberland
Fear gripped his heart
ripped it apart
His trembling limbs
had knowledge of his sins
Hanging was the game
Survival was plain
nonsense he knew
So right on que
he the last one
swung on the gibbet
until his bones and flesh rotted.

About this poem:
The gibbet is still there for all to see, the two ladies with him were hung in NewcastleKeeping America Beutiful
There are many things you can do to keep America beautiful
Reuse plastic bottles and fill them from the tap
Don't throw garbage out of your car onto the side of the road
Instead put it in the trash when you get home
When hunting, fishing, or trapping, only take what is legally allowed
So the future generations can have an abundance of wild life
If you camp, be sure your fire is completely out, even the coals
If you must have children, have only one
So the future won't be overcrowded and the animals lose their habitats
Vote for candidates that believe in strong immigration laws
So the future children will have jobs and safe streets to play in
Recycle so we don't use up all our resources
Be kind to your neighbors so they will have peace in their hearts

About this poem:
Watching an old informative commercial from the 70's with the Indian crying over the bag full of fast food containers thrown out of someone's car.President Mike
Trump is in trouble
Could he quit or be taken out of office?
Is it going to be Nixon all over again?
If it does then we will have a Mike for president
Mike is a good name
Heck, it's a great name
President Mike
He seems like a nice guy
He seems smarter than Donald
So some day soon maybe, just maybe
We'll have to say
Hail President Mike!
Hail President Mike Pence!

About this poem:
The entertainment industry really got a windfall with this guy. It has come to this. We are more interested in being entertained than getting things done. Just sit back with a cool beverage and a nice snack. I prefer Mello Yello and cheese curds.They're Great!
I saw Tony the Tiger in a commercial
He said for every box of Kellogg's Frosted Flakes
Kellogg's would donate money for sports in schools
I grew up watching this guy during my Saturday morning cartoons
Toucan Sam, The Leprechaun, Sugar Bear, Cap'n Crunch were others
Along with Snap, Crackle, and Pop, from Rice Crispies
What do any of these cereals have to do with healthy living?
They are bad for kids, but I have to admit, I still enjoy them
The advertisers are clever people
But why are they allowed to peddle this crapola on tv?
The drug commercials are the worst
A lot of them claim better health
When if you eat right and exercise, you don't need them, or the side effects
They're greeaatt! advertisements, but not good ones for people

About this poem:
Some of the advertisements I see on TV are pretty aweful. One of the worst is for ASPCA, who gives 1/10 of one percent to the poor dogs they claim to care about.

About this poem:
Policital Correctness is a Liberal Disease, ALWAYS tell and live within your truthsCar Repairs
The rear window won't defog
The wheel is making a grinding noise
The brake light is on and it's a mean looking red
The engine light is on
The brake light is on
The engine gasket is leaking oil
The muffler is making noise
The car got hit and the trunk has a huge dent
The car is rusting real bad where you fill the car with gas
The speedometer won't work
The windshield wipers won't go all the way down
The console is cracked
The car is rusty in spots, especially underneath
The headlights are foggy
The car doesn't get more than 24 miles to the gallon
The suspension is shot, so the tires wear down when it bounces
The radio keeps eating my tapes
But
I'm saving a few bucks by not buying brand new
The wheel is making a grinding noise
The brake light is on and it's a mean looking red
The engine light is on
The brake light is on
The engine gasket is leaking oil
The muffler is making noise
The car got hit and the trunk has a huge dent
The car is rusting real bad where you fill the car with gas
The speedometer won't work
The windshield wipers won't go all the way down
The console is cracked
The car is rusty in spots, especially underneath
The headlights are foggy
The car doesn't get more than 24 miles to the gallon
The suspension is shot, so the tires wear down when it bounces
The radio keeps eating my tapes
But
I'm saving a few bucks by not buying brand new

About this poem:
Another car repair, I figure total cost of this car 5,500 plus abut another 5000 in repairs so far. It is a 2000 Cavalier. I do love to drive it!
Not Fair And Stare
A poem that's not good enough
A brain that's not smart enough
A talent that's just not there
A pen in hand anyway
Helps to pass the time away
Whether mediocre or fair
Connections not good enough
Funds not rich enough
A social life that's just not there
A pen in hand anyway
Helps to pass the time away
And when I'm through I'll look at the wall and just stare
Not fair and stare
Not fair and stare
Not fair and stare
Not fair and stare
A brain that's not smart enough
A talent that's just not there
A pen in hand anyway
Helps to pass the time away
Whether mediocre or fair
Connections not good enough
Funds not rich enough
A social life that's just not there
A pen in hand anyway
Helps to pass the time away
And when I'm through I'll look at the wall and just stare
Not fair and stare
Not fair and stare
Not fair and stare
Not fair and stare

Post CommentAnother Debate
Twenty candidates for president are running for the Democratic party
Verses Trump
Which one will get the nomination?
We have all these topics
The big one this year is the border with Mexico
What should be done with these people coming from these poor countries
Their main message is to take care of them
So the rule is if you have kids you get to break the law
You are allowed to steal jobs from Americans and resources
This is fair for those who see their taxes go up and up and up
While their wages haven't doubled in over 40 years
While the CEOs doulble their wages every 12 years
So it is political suicide to suggest that we shouldn't reward lawbreakers?
I guess it seems that this stuff just gets recycled every four years
It's like the fat man who used to weigh 200 pounds and now is pushing 400
I promise if you elect me as president I will eat fruit and vegetables
Not my current diet of Mt Dew and McDonalds
But the moderator would ask, "Didn't you say that 40 years ago?"
