A Lack of Rein

While being dragged by a runaway horse,

I found it is good to know

When to hold on to the reins 

And when to let them go.

Friends

Of all the friends throughout our lifetime,

None can be compared

To those among that fellowship   

With whom our youth is shared.

The Bends

Some folks claim to have the power

To bend spoons just by thinking.

Well, I have bent more than my share

Of golf clubs just by stinking.

As Noses Go

Having escaped from the rest of the face,

The nose went skipping along.

Taking delight in every place

Where it knew it didn’t belong.

15 Items Or Less

The sign says “15 Items”

And he has ninety-eight.

As anger burns,

My ice cream turns

Back to its liquid state.

Express Love

It’s difficult to conjure up

That “Love thy neighbor” feeling,

When they beat you to the express lane

With their cart stacked to the ceiling.

Phases

My phaser had two settings,

But I installed one more. 

When “STUN” and “KILL”

Won’t fill the bill,

I set it on “IGNORE”.
