PORTIONING CONTORTIONING?

PORTIONING CONTORTIONING?-

Relearning my food serving size.

Reducing the “big-ness” of eyes…

Once I overload

The other end slowed,

No need to complete this reprise!

Quartering  his big double portions

Requiring diet “forcing”…

Digging in heels

The mind starts to yield,

While blood sugar in him is coursing.

Being full faster is a break,

Setting limits on what one  can take…

Leaving stuff on the plate

A healthier trait,

Giving you in your health a new stake.

–Jonathan Caswell

A FOOT IN EACH WORLD

A FOOT IN EACH WORLD

Are you for the World or the Lords,

What material your binding cords…

Sacrifice

And obedience are nice,

So which master do you abhor?

We cannot serve two masters,

Straddling fences bring disaster…

A picket fence

Is danger hence,

You’ll need lots of sticking plaster!

Beware being double-minded,

Discovering you are self-blinded…

the World deceives

While God receives

Scripture declares Him the kindest.

–Jonathan Caswell

ARE YOU ON MAGIC TIME?

ARE YOU ON MAGIC TIME?

The creative won’t resign

Themselves to standard time…

In NATURE’S CLASSROOM**

One can assume

They’re using creative minds!

When days end in dark,

Who says one must play that part…

Use the sunlight

You have before nigh,

You may need a schedule chart!

They use so-called “MAGIC TIME”,”

Starts an hour earlier–that’s fine–

Get  that sunlight

For these kids are bright

And theirs is a short amount of time!

-Nature’s Classroom teaches,

A certain grade level reaches…

Having a full day

Plus an hour any way,

Makes then the darling of teachers.

RAILROAD POWER SURVEYS

RAILROAD POWER SURVEYS

The survey of current “choo-choo

Locomotives, how can I lose…

Featured older stuff

Is more than enough,

Making it worth my revenue!

A recent piece of news,

Indian Railroad plans using biofuels……

Powering commuter trains,

Environment strains

And air quality have been abused.

Advertisements are colored and great,

Seeing rebuilt engines move freight…

New passenger designs

A sign of the times,

Adaptable to regulations in each state.

–Jonathan Caswell

NOISES OUTSIDE—IS ANYONE THERE??

NOISES OUTSIDE—IS ANYONE OUT THERE???

The wind moves the refuse cans more,

Sounding like someone’s at the door…

I look and see

No one but me,

Except the wind and its roar!

The door opens up by itself,

Propelled by a wind kind of elf…

I jump and stare

But nobody’s there,

Of spooky things there is a wealth!!!!!

YES—HE’S SEEN A FEW…

YES—HE’S SEEN A FEW

“ADULT TOPIC”

Poets tend to step on toes,

As this one certainly knows…

Porn morality

Essentially

Is absent, I would suppose.

Looking at descriptions

Would give family conniptions…

Step mom and son

Plugging sister for fun,

Threesomes by description.

No wonder the family breaks

With such in video takes…

Normal taboos

Porn makers use,

Luring dreamers to their space.

Women chime in video feed,

Locals to satisfy need…

He left a new

E-mail for this too–

He was spoken for, thus in no need!

–Jonathan Caswell

PAYING DOWN A DREAM

PAYING DOWN A DREAM

Dreaming about a Chevy,

It’s financing is heavy…

But without delay sent

Out the first payment,

Seventy-six more for the levy!

The Impala runs great,

With six cylinders, not eight…

The wife is pleased–

My mind eased–

As long as we pay all the freight.

–Jonathan Caswell

TAKE HEED!

TAKE HEED!

(From a blogger’s own experience!)

If you have signature shots,

Of  your blog–lose them and pay lots…

Of time and details

If your search fails,

You’ll wish you’d kept those shots!

Pictures worth a thousand words,

Or hours if memory serves…

Reminiscing is poor

If you can’t find the spoor

That gave inspiration and whim.

I’ve searched and searched all day,

That one picture is hid away…

I let it go

And I should know,

It’s dropped out of sight, anyway!

A LAP TOP OWNER CRIES

A LAP-TOP OWNER  CRIES

Last night a friend put him on,

Tonight the WI-FI was gone…

Last night’s code

Had not abode,

So the blogger’s face hung down.

At he has limited access,

In the Common Room of his complex…

Writing ideas

Down drown fears

Of not remembering his text.

Tomorrow he’ll check with “I.T.”,

Would they allow access free…?

He  it once had,

But things went bad

So he had to reboot…don’t you see?

When he rebooted he lost

At substantial cost,

Most of his files

And functions and smiles,

The work WI-FI access it cost!

WALKING IN HOLY SPIRIT PATHS

WALKING IN HOLY SPIRIT PATHS

Step by step toward the Holy,

No part of you should get moldy…

More than mental

It’s fundamental,

Chosen obedience only!

One cannot magically change,

‘Though you’re within firing range…

Of firey darts–

The Devil’s dark arts–

One has to consciously self-arrange.

 The Spirit helps when we’re weak,

He constantly offers to tweak…

our functions within

To not act on sin,

And bring our performance nearer peak!

His Word is the light for our path,*

Following him avoids God’s wrath…

Letting Him in

To live within,

Helps us to stay on His path!

–Jonathan Caswell
