These random thoughts, often scribbled on the corners of pages during meetings or via email ramblings, are my own. Some are old, some are new, and none have been published before. Undoubtedly, these are not professional structured verse. I hope you find them amusing and possibly even thought provoking.

The Hill
A long time ago on a hill far away
Lived a man that strived to enjoy every day
Each day was a gift of joy
To be spent with his wife, his girl and his boy
The children lived and grew big and strong
The world was their playground each day a song
They climbed trees and ran from bees
And slid down the hill when the snow was at their knees
Time passed as it always will
The girl and the boy moved away from the hill
The old man and the old woman chose to stay
And smile and laugh of days gone away
Cromes
Cromes cromes balding domes
Crusty old men complain about their homes
They bitch about kids, wives, and jobs
They badmouth neatness freaks and slobs
They eyeball young women with perverse intent
Each one to the young just a gross malcontent
No topic escapes their complaints
They continue demeaning without self-restraints
Why
Your beautiful green eyes, how they used to shine.
Now your eyes are spider webs of red lines.
They show the pollution of drugs and wine.
There was a time when your parents were so proud.
At games of skill and sport they shouted your name aloud.
Now your parents are broken hearted and ashamed.
They feel your sins and assume the blame.
Your family and friends silently cry.
And ask themselves.
Why?
Why?
Why?
Just a Temp
I’m just a temp. Yes, I’m only a temp.
And I make just enough to pay the rent.
I work hard all day, so I can get paid.
I need money for my honey so I can get laid.
The regular employees, well they screwed up
And I’m here with a crew just to clean it up.
I’ve got no insurance to cover my ass
So I better not step on some broken glass
