Fun at Work

You are not suppose to have
Fun at work
Because you are working
And not having fun

But what if your work
Is what you think
Is fun for you
And not work at all

My Dad's Home

My dad's home
From the hospital
But, he's not happy
Going to the nursing home

It's only for a while
Untils he gets stronger
And can better handle
His basic needs

Isn't it Funny

Isn't ot funny
How we seem to
Get upset about
Things that aren't important

We get worked up about
Things like money or fame
And don't think about
Family or friends

Giving a Handout

Wouldn't it be better
If we would start
Giving a handout
Instead of running someone down

They don't know
That someday they might
Be in the same boat
As the person they're running down

Helping to Calm Down

Isn't it funny
That my poetry
Has an effect
Of calming me down

It seems like
I should have
A clear mind
To do my poetry

But it's almost funny
That when I write
A clear mind
I can't write very good

A Friendly Note

It's always nice to get
A friendly note from someone
That you really didn't expect
For something that you did

It's always nice to see
A nota of thanks to me
A line or two of thanks
A message for yourself

Sometimes I just Love It

Sometimes I just love it
When I stop to think
Of all of the education
That I have gotten through the years

And, after all of the schooling
In business and in ag
I turn out to be
A building designer and a poet

The Sound of the Wind

Oh, I love to get up to hear
The sound of the wind
In the early morning hours
When nothing else's around

And then, you'll hear the howl
And how it seems to sound
Without the light to see
How strong it really is

Stomach Ache

I have a stomach ache
From the food I ate last night
The food was so rich
That it seemed to go right through me

I grew some in the garden
And bought the rest in the store
I should have known better
But, boy, was it good

Turning on the Heat

It seems kind of odd to me
When you have to start
Turning on the heat in August
In the middle of the summer

Is it just a cold snap
Or a precurser of things to come
It just seems so odd to me
Turning on the heat in August
