His kids are home schooled
They march up and shake your hand
It’s nice to meet you
Thinking requires
Language. If you think it doesn’t
Try not using it
I’m out more than in
Realize the value of time
How little there is
Can you turn it off?
Just to get your bearings and
Know what to do next?
I can do it all
Better than anyone else
Don’t tell me I can’t
There is no Santa
You put gifts under the tree
And reindeer can’t fly
There’s plenty of time
To goof off and have fun when
You’re just winging it
Don’t believe in ghosts
Except for the one I must
To be accepted
Have fun tonight and
Pay for it in the morning
Story of our lives
Going out of town
Braving snow and open roads
Want the time to think
There must be a way
To lead without managing
And achieve big things
I do what I want
It’s a fact when you’re the boss
That’s the way it works
I never said that
How dare you imply I did
Now do what I say
Ate too much turkey
Let out a notch on my belt
And slept on the couch
Should we give thanks for
The things that happen by chance
Or what people do?
Dollars to doughnuts
And credits to navy beans
What does it all mean?
Effortless haiku
Flowing through my mind from the
World outside to you
Some things are silly
Other things are just stupid
Embrace A not B
North Carolina
Has five syllables. So does
South Carolina
Want to get more done?
For others or for yourself?
Answer that then do
Drinking my coffee
And going through my email
We know what comes next
More security
More screening and suspicion
For your protection
Four kids with the flu
And all of them with head lice
Both funny and not
Just tell them what’s what
How things look from your chair is
Close enough to real
So unproductive
But also satisfying
No work and all fun
You can speak your mind
Say whatever you believe
But don’t anger me
We’ll pray to Jesus
To keep our animals safe
God wants what we want
Another chance lost
Another night of excess
And day of regret
Put it together
See the trees and the forest
Only you know how
We want what we want
Until we don’t no more and
We’ll never tell you
Is it a mandate
When forty-seven percent
Voted against it?
