A LOT OF SCAMS OUT THERE!

Leave a reply

Beware of all those scams,

And gods who claim they’re “I AM’s”…

Saying the bible

Isn’t so vital,

And all Christian service pans!

–

If one SAYS one is Christian but not,

One is liable for judgment “hot”…

Deceiving Man

Is the Devil’s plan,

Are you a part of his plot?

–

Other religions taking our cues,

Decide to help–that’s news!

The wrongs they claim

Are often their main

Modus operandi, too!

–

Rather than putting us down,

Rather help all work strong…

Bitter exchange

Is beyond the range,

Of charity work and is wrong!

ETSY STORES/DESIGNER GOODS

Leave a reply

Blogger-established stores,

Offer trinkets and more…

Handwork to mugs–

Things with heart tugs–

Neat merchandise to explore!

–

What I would do, I don’t know–

Too many directions to go…

Fashionable trains

Or scientific brains,

Or blessed Trappist bread to go???

MAYBE A GOOD JACKASS KICK?

Trump said most recently,

Congress must see reality…

Force their spending

Like ours–unending,

Without taxpayer subsidy!

–

Republicans want to give up,

Business as usual stuff…

THEIR coffers full–

Why should they pull

For anyone when they’re ensured enough?

–

Check what I said earlier*

FEW POLITICIANS are pure…

Blind to our needs

While their guarantees,

Set them up royally for sure!

SEASONAL VESTIGES

1 Reply

Do not cry for Christmas,

It lives within our hearts…

The elves atop the water cooler

And its wreath have yet to depart!

–

Orthodox Catholics

Celebrate January sixth…

Perhaps these elves are Orthodox (!)

Not wanting it to miss.

–

It looks like all the trees are down,

Put away here at work…

Poinsettia plants take their place

A minor sort of perk.

–

In stores…candy fifty percent off,

Decorations and toy sales too…

We used to go to Scranton, PA.

Where toy departments made me blue!

–

But now they’re up and running

Toward Valentine’s Day…

It won’t hurt if they put out

Some things for Easter, by the way!

INTERNATIONAL GAMEMANSHIP

Leave a reply

Proponents of war are roaring,

Are we going to drop every mooring…

That hold back knives

When poked in the eyes,

Much better seeing leaders touring.

–

Complex webs underneath,

Actions and tensions are chief…

Reasons why

A poke in the eye,

On the surface, strains belief!

HALF-A-TANK OF GAS…

Leave a reply

He’s down to a half-tank of gas,

How’d it go down so fast?…

Wandering ’round

Til connections found,

He’ll pay for his fun…and has!

A GARDEN STATUS REPORT

Here at work the gardens

Look fine while the soil hardens…

In cold air

The mums are fair,

The rest of the plants reach their life margins.

LIMERICK EXPLOSION! THE CAR’S STATE INSPECTION…!

Leave a reply

Nervously  waiting–

For the calibrating…

Labor costs burst

Would be the worst,

This is all inner debating!

–

Waiting at the dealer,

Putting out a feeler…

Thus to know

“How does it go.”

With our lovely four-wheeler?

–

Beautiful day outside,

Perfect for a ride…

But have plans

That life demands,

Have to put some things aside.

–

Rode in together to stop,

At the Inspection shop…

We prattle on

Til words are gone,

SO…look at those tree colors pop!

–

Sitting all glassed-in,

Safe and secure from din…

From the traffic

Going at it,

Running more heavy than thin!

PASSKEY ON TWO LEGS

Leave a reply

A passkey on two legs?

The concept  naturally begs…

Evidence

With confidence

It’s all according to “regs”!

–

That security is,

A vital part of “biz”…

We open doors

(With smiles, of course)…

Or watching traffic whiz.

–

We often do walking rounds,

Inside and outside in bounds…

Facilities

Relies on these

To check out those awful sounds!

–

Knowing Security does

All this excites because…

A simple job

Secures the door knob

And doing with little fuss.

EIGHT DOLLARS BUYS A MEAL???? Image from dreamstime.com

Leave a reply

Eight dollars left in the purse,

Losing bank card makes it worse…

Must give tips

To drivers bringing it,

Is there even enough for one course?

–

He normally tips twenty percent,

For pennies would they consent?…

Where I often trade

May provide the aid,

Without my person…being rent!

–

OR…if I could wait…

Stores still take checks, even late…

I could buy a feast

With a check book at least,

As long as I’m careful what I ate!
