Au Naturel

Au Naturel

I doused myself with an ice bucket pail
and ended up in the county jail.
"Do it au naturel",
said my nominating pal!
You're challenged to donate and pay my bail!

The ALS Challenge

The ALS Challenge

The participants deserve our applause
but I might be in trouble because
it is likely considered negligent
comparing it to a wet T-shirt event
when the ALS Challenge is for such a good cause.

Grandpa's Advice

Grandpa's Advice

I'd like to fool around with my cousin
but Grandma says,  "It's a sin."
Grandpa says, "Fornicate
before it's too late
and erectile dysfunction sets in!"

Grandpa's Rhyme

Grandpa's Rhyme

I eat my peas with honey.
I've done it all my life.
It makes the peas taste funny
but it keeps them on my knife.

My mother attributes this one to her Dad, my Grandfather, Merlyn Guessford.

Governor Robert D. Ray

The Grand Obstructionist Party Part 2

I hope and I wish and I pray
that Republicans would just go away.
Since the days of Ike
there is not one I like
except for Governor Ray.

A Few Regrets

A Few Regrets

I missed seeing Elvis Presley live
and the moon launch of a Saturn Five.
Some words that I said
Should have stayed in my head
and I no longer have my Camaro to drive.

Some of my Aero E. classmates from Iowa State took a motor home to Florida to see the nighttime launch of Apollo 17 on the final lunar mission.  I did not go.  I had tickets to see Elvis on one of his last tours but had to go on a business trip.  I  missed the show.  I did not really need to trade in the Camaro when we bought a larger more practical new car.  Oops!

Global Warming

 

 

Global Warming

Global warming may come to be
along with a rising sea.
If it will assuage
the next ice age,
it will not bother me.
