Footnotes are funny

Try to explain what it means

Don’t lose the holy

1,152

Obey without thought

Commit the cruelest of crimes

No reward offered

1,151

The first is benign

Absent the control and shame

That drives the second

1,150

Two creation myths

Placed side by side in same book

How can both be true?

1,149

Tweet once and tweet twice

Tweet until your tweeter breaks

Then ask why we flee

1,148

A slew of bad choices

A life of pain and sorrow

Wish for something else

1,147

Always more to do

Pick your tasks with care because

You won’t get them done

1,146

I get more done when

I’m out of the office but

Still things pile up

1,145

Kid needs a haircut

More often than you would think

Like the Beatle look?

1,144

Tiny problems will

Grow into colossal ones

If you don’t mind them

1,143

Waiting to connect

Stop thinking on things to do

Start on things to be

1,142

Ask questions to see

If they know what they’re doing

That’s deeper knowledge

1,141

Days full of meetings

Deadlines and tough decisions

With no time to think

1,140

God wants you to pray

For the things He won’t give you

Keeps you coming back

1,139

My nights without sleep

Are becoming like old friends

They know my secrets

1,138

Right before you post

Forces creativity

To bow to pressure

1,137

Can we still have a

White Christmas if it doesn’t snow

‘Til January?

1,136

Make sure you control

Without you they’ll run amok

Create things undreamed

1,135

Now I understand

Why we must distract ourselves

Truth is too painful

1,134

The book is now done

Wrote it twice and will again

Will you please read it?

1,133

Signs of growing old

More and more with each new year

At least still growing

1,132

It always takes time

Don’t be in such a rush to

Become what you’re not

1,131

One less thing to do

It’s minor and didn’t take long

But still a relief

1,130

A chance to reflect

Ninety minutes of calm in

A turbulent life

1,129

Pain in my stomach

Don’t know what it is and no

Time to speculate

1,128

In order to win

You must understand the game

Learn the rules then play

1,127

First day back to work

And hundreds of things compete

For my attention

1,126

You know you are old

When clearing an inch of snow

Counts as a workout

1,125

Two thousand and twelve

A year full of meaning or

Devoid of difference

1,124

Going back to work

After a long winter break

Feels like going home

1,123

No longer afraid

To go down big water slides

Forwards or backwards
