First Congress’ last act
Established U.S. Army
Before adjourning.
Oh! The Joy!
Oh, my friends, the joy
of unexplainable pain
leaves me quite speechless.
The Reader’s Power
When I was younger,
Before the hiatus,
I filled journals for fun
With poetic musings.
I did that for me
And no other reason
But one day I stopped,
It went “out of season”.
Now that I’m older
I can’t help but wonder,
Would I have stopped
Writing when younger,
If post-it notes penned
By some random strangers
Happened to appear
In handwritten journals?

At Pevensey Bay
William’s invasion takes root
Beachhead established
Ultimate Solutions?
Could it simply be
That this old social worker
Forgot all about
Electronic’s basic rule:
“If it’s acting weird, reboot”?
Wasting Precious Time
Hours really fly
While I bash my aching head
Here in frustration
Wondering
Now I must explore
Whether the fault lies within
Cursed iPhone app updates.
WTF with Likes?
What’s up with these likes?
Must I have validation?
Instant gratification?

Hearing the war drums
William sets sail for England
With conquest in mind
A Simple Question
Americans gave their lives in battle against all of these:
Which one should we proudly fly over our public buildings today?
Unlikely Dinner Chat
We need a mini-
donkey to protect our hens
From all them critters
Savage Sabotage
Progress comes only
Through honest self-reflection.
Neither denial
Of failure, nor wallowing
In every small fault
Will propel your performance
Toward the peak of pleasure.
To All Who Strive
Progress is the goal
Practice, the intervention.
Perfection is an
Imaginary trophy
Made from inobtainium.
