CONTEMPLATING OVERTIME

He knows
race/life results
before the race is run;
that's feeble excuse, in my book,
must try .....

Must try
to leave on time
at work day's end; There are
other things in life besides work!
Do leave!

why do we grow
old, when senility
turns us into first-step-taking
babies?

as some ducks might ex-pecked
but they’ll wing after a sweet-spread

Note:  "Shoobie" has long been the derisive term for a weekend visitor to the beach in New Jersey... I think 'cause they used to carry their gear in a shoe box... or something.

lunch time for shoobie

for toast
lie on hot beach
without suntan lotion
no spread?  start eating… seagulls will
drop in

from time to time,
relieve your writer's block
with friends around the world; you'll be
thankful.

it’s good to read last page

Hi All,

It appears I made the same mistake our Grace did, replying to one cinquain before checking to see if another page had come and gone.   blush21.gif So sorry!  Daniel, you've come through like the person I know you to be, a real trooper!  Thank you so much for saving my face... :pharoah2

Knowledge

that fact
alone is worth
knowing about someone;
can make stronger, bonding friendships
for life

it's best lived near no ledge
for less affect from those strange things

No way!
