Getting old
In the winter

I cry from up my nose
My eyes always , red and blurry
If I get cold my toes fall off
Where they go I am at a loss
Never find them in my shoes
And my boots rub my ankles
Feels like rubbing them with sand paper
To a lovely rose gloss
In my day
I was. Road runner baby
I’m a road runner
And you sweet
Are the one I like to use
...

Not sure I will write more.

bugsy
so the days slipped by, each one so alike I barely noticed the months pass.

He was the smoke
After I started the fire
And his smoke took forever
To go away his sense
Of touch lingered on for
Over a month
Wishing this smoke evaporated

I saw her sitting at the table
Eating with her friends
I got up to go on over
It was if I had the bends

I saw her later having coffee
With a friend sitting outside
I went to go on over
And my mouth got all tongue tied

One chance baby, that is all you get
Don't blow it when it comes your way
Once chance, that's all you get
Make a good impression
Say something they won't forget
One chance baby, one chance is all you get

I went in for an interview
I was nervous as could be
When I was asked a question
Would you hire you if you were me?

I thought for a few seconds
I thought that I would rolf
Then I said "I'd hire me"
"you'd then have time to go play golf!"

I saw the woman of my dreams
She was drinking at the bar
I knew I had to talk to her
But, if I was gonna get that far

I'd have to down my courage
Put the right words in my mouth
For if I blew it up right then
My love life would go south

One chance baby, that is all you get
Don't blow it when it comes your way
Once chance, that's all you get
Make a good impression
Say something they won't forget
One chance baby, one chance is all you get

We'd been dating for a while
It was time to make the leap
I had to show her parents
I wasn't just a creep

I knew the words I needed
I would ask them for her hand
But as I got closer to her father
My mouth was filled with sand

One chance baby, that is all you get
Don't blow it when it comes your way
Once chance, that's all you get
Make a good impression
Say something they won't forget
One chance baby, one chance is all you get

"I hate lies" it can be heard anywhere
but for me lies are important
If teacher asked to a student about his
Course learnings and due to fear or hesitation He told lessons than his learnings.but if he said teacher must will be ask
So the student will have to learn these incomplete lessons
We know he lied but being free to called lier infront of teacher
and learnt lessons also a plus point for him

It's based on a true story for full story you can visit

"https://openthoughts1-0.blogspot.com/2020/07/i-lied-many-times-but-i-am-not-lier.html?m=1"

I am sure it can change your views on somethings

Up fell down
The other day
Did not land well
Now he is known
As upside down.

Did I say what they said I said
Some I said, not all
If I said the things I'd said
I'd have no time to play ball

I said some things I think I said
Some things came right from me
Some things I said, I wished I said
But those things, let them be

I said some things I said I saw
Some say I didn't say
Some things I saw, I didn't see
I just looked the other way

Some things I said I didn't say
I know, because it's true
I said some things I said I saw
The choice is up to you

There's things I said, that people like
Those things, I know I spoke
The other things I didn't say
Were just written as a joke

If I said the things I said
And you like them, say them too
But the things they said, I didn't say
Some are old, but most are new

I know I didn't say as much
As people said I said
There's more from me, I didn't say
At least that's what I've read

So, sue me if I say I say
Some things I said, but heard
I know it wasn't me that said
I don't know all those words

So, if I said the things I said
Instead of going out to play
I ask you now, to tell me please
Exactly, What'd I say

If the music doesn't grab you
You will not hear the words
If the music doesn't grab you
The story's never heard

If you want to tell a story
And you tell it in a song
The music has to grab them
Or you're doing it all wrong

A melancholy melody
Won't get the point across
If the music doesn't grab them
The story will be lost


If the music doesn't grab you
You will not hear the words
If the music doesn't grab you
The story's never heard

The music must be catchy
It needs to have a hook
The story will just lie there
Lost deep inside a book

The music is just background
The story is the words
But, man, if you don't grab them
You're story won't be heard

If the music doesn't grab you
You will not hear the words
If the music doesn't grab you
The story's never heard
