It's that time of year.
We all dread but wait for.
Tax time has come once more.
The mind goes in to number mode.
Deductions and credit
What do they mean.
I feel a headache coming on.
Social security numbers are in the right spot.
Now to the bank for a refund I hope.
Oh no, No refund this year
There goes my house
For Obamacare gets it all

The Painting
In the old house, there was a painting.
It hung over the fire place.
There were trees and a house.
A few birds in the sky.
The old well look as if there was no water there.
Horses in the barn with their heads out the windows
Made the painting so real.
Then I looked out the window there it was. Just as the painting told.

I was going to the south.
As i crossed the mason Dixon line.
I saw in the bright southern sky
a little sled.flying fast as it could.
When I looked down the road.
There it was in a field of grass.
Reindeer all over the place.
A larger fat man in a red hat, sunglass and shorts was standing near.
When i got to Charlotte town. at a motel 6 you could see
Santa claus in the swimming pool.
on the back of the sled parked right near, I saw a sign it read to me
these merry words.
Heading south ya all see you on Christmas day

Hot dogs hot dogs the man yells.
he pushes his cart up and down the street.
All day long to sell his meat.
Hot dogs hot dogs two for a dollar he hollers
soda pop just $.25 a can
nice it is to go with these dogs.
Hot dogs Hot dogs the sound on the street.
As people come to eat what they can.

Walking my tiger home is a job.
She pulls me down the street for that food at home
She runs like a rabbit pulling me right behind.
It becomes a tug of war she pulling me and I pulling her back.
No cat or dog can stand in her way.
For being only 2 feet tall shes a real tiger when
I walk my tiger home

No love like a puppy's love
There is no love like yours.
Sweet kisses that I"ll miss.
The dancing of joy when you missed me.
The rides we took together with your head on my shoulder.
A sweet kiss before you went to sleep.
There is no love like a puppy's love
Your heart may have stopped but your love will live in my heart forever.
So sleep tight my little pup in the arms of God.
For I'll miss you.
There is no love like the puppy's you gave me

Who's knocking at my door?
I hear someone at the door.
But when I go I do not see one there.
The sound comes there once more.
Still no one there.
The door bell does not go off.
A knock I do hear.
I watch out the window once more.
And there to my surprise.
Was the old rocker hitting the shutter and the old cat rocking away.

They place a flag up on his casket.
One to honor his life he gave to his country.
It will not fly today on a building.
Only in the hearts of those he left behind.
Stars and stripes an American flag.
Give to his family to honor him.
with the stars up facing heaven
As he is called to another place to serve a higher power.
May we bless those that left and those that will
For this flag will only fly for them

I go to bed at night. I lay my little head in my bed.
I start to dream the day away.
Bacon in the morning, oh what a smell.
The red ball I chase down the hall under the table it goes.
Then out doors are my greatest thing. The neighbors cat is my target.
Around the house and through the follows I go.
Up the tree, the cat does run.(one of these days she will be mine).
Then it's suppertime for me a stake bone might be nice.
Then to the bathroom I go. Water in the tub is just for me.
A rubber duck I find is great.
Then it's to bed I go.Oh, what a dream.
This is my puppy dream and it is GRRRReat!!!

Pizza again
The turkey was placed on the table.
Pies in the oven baking.
The football game on TV.
Grandma yells"dinner on"
Went all of a sudden the turkey is gone. Can't be found nowhere.
The back door was open, but no one was there.
When grandpa yells pizza again!
There was no Thanksgiving dinner this night.
For the dogs on the corner had a joy.
While we sat and gave blessing for the pizza boy
It's pizza thanksgiving not turkey this year.

At night do you wonder what goes on after you go to sleep.
It is the dance of all dances.It's the teddy bear dance.
At the stroke of midnight. The bears line up to start the dance.
Big bears, little bears are marching to the beat of their music.
Bears with hats, bear with ribbons all in a line.
Around in the table and by the bed. You see them there.
The other toys watch so quiet. No movement from the trucks.
As your bears dance everywhere.
By the stroke of one of the bears they return. At the spot they stay at.
The night has ended and all is still.
Not a bear is moving you just think it's a dream.
As the night goes on the bears are ready for the next dance
As they dance the teddy bear dance

Halloween
The pumpkins are all grown at a pace.
They are waiting for those funny faces.
The witches are getting such a itch
To ride those broom sticks.
The ghost will be the host of the party.
As the trolls fills the bowls with candy.
So now it's time to beat it to the streets
To yell trick or treat for Halloween.

I want to run for President.
When I grow up I wanted to be a race car driver.
Then I saw a big wreck on TV.
Then I thought of a fireman.But I'm to shot to carry a hose.
I said to myself how about being President.
If i was president I could travel the world and talk to other leaders.
About peace and joy among all races.
I could help to make laws that everyone would like.
So I want to run as president so I could have the power of a great service.
Of men and women at my feet.
To see these Soldier fights for our freedom.
I want to run for president. Would you vote for me?

A trip to Mars will it be really far? Should I bring something? Should I take my roller skates? Or just some more close to wear. How about a change of underwear? When I get there will I see a pink man. Or just someone that stinks. Will i see anyone i know from a far? On this trip to Mars

Sunrise Sunset
Pink sky at morning sailors takes a warning
Pink sky at night sailors delight.
The morning sun gives way to a pink sky mixed with gray clouds.
To let the sailors know a storm may be brewing at sea.
As the sunrises high in the sky, the storm has left high and dry in the clouds that son will fall to night.
As the sun does set the sky is pink once more this day.
To let the sailors knows that the day will be delightful for them at sea.
As they go out to sea the dark gives way to just a pretty pink
Which is a wink for the sailors to see

Every town has a main street.
Some Short and some long.
But in this town on main street
We once saw clowns.
They dance and ran around as they went up the main street.
We saw the bands coming from all around.
Play a Yankee doodle tune.
All the way downs our main street.
No more do we hears that band.
For in some towns, they have forgotten the good times on our main streets
U.S.A

Kids are crying.
Dog is barking
Phone is ringing
Someones at the door
Lawyer is on the phone.
TV is too loud.
Car won't start
Bike has flat
Husband yelling
Fell and broke my foot.
Tell the doctor i'm stressed out
He yells code blue.
Dam it's quite here in my grave.

In school, the other day. We had to make a Christmas wish list for Santa I wished for a doll for my sister I wished for a rattle for my baby brother I wished for a better job for my daddy. I wished for my mom to stop her crying I wished that all the soldiers would come home. I wished for the country to be safe for us. I wished for the president to love our country and not to rip it apart. So this is my wish list I gave to my teacher. And with a tear in her eyes she asked me what I wanted Santa to bring me. I said with a smile on my face I just want him to answer my wish for all

I have flown for over 200 years.
I fly high on buildings and on poles.
I wave to those that sing pretty songs for me.
I fly each and everyday somewhere.
Men and women salute me proud.
To say they love for who I' am.

Up in the morning, I due dread.
Running and screaming I hear in bed.
Back to school what a joy.
Reading, writing and no toys.
The roar of buses I hear them come.
Schools days prepare to begin.
Buses here and buses there.
When is the buses going to end?
I hear someone one shout "is it summer yet"
And It's the first day of school

He kneels down on the ground and looked to the north.
A bright star he did see.
He walks away and found another shepherd standing looking at the same star.
A third man then joined the other two.
And they walked. God stopped them and said, behold a king has been born on this night.
And they walked, they found the king in an old barn.
They knelled before him and they prayed.
This is now a Christmas prayer only we have many more to say.
So God behold I take your son and you in my heart
Let no man change this my lord for you are king of all.

The old man stood so quite outside the church.
He stood there for a long time.
Then he walks a little closer.
He said to no one
Can't you hear the sweet music coming from inside.
They sing so loud and what a pretty song.
Now the preacher is given his best service.
The church had faded paint on it. The doors were old and ready to fall.
But the old man stood and smiled, as I said to him.
The old church is abandoned these days.
Then the old man laughed as loud as he could. Then said to me.
No church is abandoned as long as it has been blessed with God loving people

Early in the morning traveling down I-77
I saw a young soldier in uniform.
I stop to choose pick him up.
We talked a awhile he spoke of the war.
How he lost so many friends.
We parked in the dinner. I ran in to get something to eat.
When I return to the truck.He finished his story.
He said that he loved America. And the freedom it stands for.
How he fought for each American.
He then told me this was his exit.
So I stopped. He said thanks to my friend
I said no thanks you my hero.
For fighting for me.
I drove off and I looked back and he was gone.
I thought I just had breakfast with a hero ghost

i saw a rainbow today.
It was high in the sky. shining through the clouds.
Right next to the sun.
Pretty colors of yellow, pink, green and red.
I couldn't see it touching the ground.
But I saw a rainbow next to the heaven.
It bought a smile to my face. As I watched it traveling across the sky.
As the rainbow disappeared out of sight.
i looked for another rainbow

Does Santa live at the north pole
Or does he live at Walmart?

I go to the fire hall he is there with the fire dog.
I meet him on the streets handing out candy canes.
Then I go to Walmart there he his sitting on a chair with a friend that my picture.

I see him at the dinner area eating a sub from subway.
I want to know where he sleeps if he lives at Walmart.

I was headed to buffalo, NY,
On a sunny day.
I got to the start line then a nightmare took me by surprise.
I started to snow a flake here and there.
The closer I got the more I thought.
Oh No Snow in Buffalo.
Then I got to the city line I could see a wall of snow.
I turned around and headed back.
But oh no buffalo snow hit me like a ton of brick.
Now I'm stuck in Buffalo.
Dam and it's only the 4th of July.

There is a flower that is growing
It has no stem but will grow big.
The center of this flower has the eyes for you.
No petals to hole the beauty in
Nevertheless, is the prettiest you ever seen.
You may have one or there maybe more
However, the flower is always there.
You tell the flower that it is pretty
But you really are saying, daughter, I love you.
Because you're my sweet flower and no one has one like you

Here I sit with no place to go
All are quiet but the windy outside.
No tv the lights are out
The snow is falling as fast as I type.
The ground is covered with just a little snow.
While the laptop power is about to go.
No cars on the road the police calls for a driving ban.
Now I pray that it will stop soon.
For it's getting close to June.
What a winter storm we did have.
Only a half inch on the ground

You write, you write till the words become a poem.
Long verse or short stories
You write, you write.
Maybe a song or a love letter to those that read.
You write you write it must be a joy.
To see the words you wrote in a contest to be judged.
You win a few you lose a few.
But you write you write till the ink runs out.

Baseball bats will soon be quiet.
As football season takes a kick
Golf ball will be put away so a president can go to work.
Hockey sticks will soon hit the puck
And baseballs will go in the net.
The summer season is scheduled to end.
Hello winter let it begin

True Love for Gramma
I said to my mother I want to go to Gramma's house.
She said, not today!
I was attempting to walk but with no luck.
I would ride my bike, but it's just a trick.
I can't drive a car it's too far.
I took a box and went inside to cry I want to see Gramma's house.
Momma heard the cry.
When she just opens the box, I said mail me to Gramma's house

Fell out of bed and broke my arm.
Cooked my lunch and burnt the soup.
Went for a ride and got a flat.
Went to the store and got a ticket.
Took a shower and slipped and broke my leg.
Went to bed and knocked the light over and started a fire.
Just a bad luck day and the week just began

May I stay with you my soldier friend.
May I cry with you till the last tear drop falls.
For may no soldier be unloved for the freedom that he gives.
May no soldier walks the heavens above. God will be you.
Let no soldier be forgotten, when the bell rings that no soldier will be left behind.
They all will return safe and proud

Heart, we will forget him!
You and I, Tonight and Tomorrow!
You will forget the warmth he gave,
I will forget the light.
When you are done,
Pray to tell me I may remember him

Setting here writing a poem.
Nothing much to say.
Do you have knee pain?

so the poem i write is so short that i forgot the words

Little girl she does dream. While a little Boy he does play.
While the angels do a dance to the song she does sing about a star They begin to to pray.
little grrl she begins to sim\g a song of a star so near but so far
The little boy he plays a drum yo the song she does sing
While the angels do a dance to the song she does sing about a star They begin to to pray.
They all pray for those that have died,
That are the star which are near but far.
The little girl far.does dream As the little boy he does play.
The Angels they still do a dance on the star which is so near but so far

You dream a dream
You search for that dream for a life request.
You ask yourself can that dream be real.
Then you search once more.
When you find that dream real or not.
It can make you happy or sad.
Just remembers it was a dream to start with.
So dream on and live your life to the fullest chasing those dreams

Am I Near Heaven.
A little boy and his went for a walk on Wednesday.
They came up on a big mountain that touch the sky.
The little boy said," we are going to climb up there today!"
                The dog barked.
They climbed for miles and miles. Up and up. Towards the sky
When they where almost to the top. He looked down to see the town.
As they climbed higher and higher the town became smaller and smaller.

When they got to the top. All they could see was clouds.
He could hear the birds below but no trees he could see.
He turn to his dog, a friend indeed, he asked with a look of need,"  Am
I near Heaven?"
  For just days ago his mother had died. and he wanted to be near..

The sound of the train is a song of it's own
a thump here and a thump there as it moves along the tracks.
a short blast of the whistle then a long one
make the railroad sound so sweet.
a thump a thump toot toooot as it moves along
then far away you hear the last toot saying goodbye until
you hear the railroad song once more.
thumpy thump thumpy thump toot toot tooot.

There was an old man who walked the streets.
Day after day. Giving pennies to the young and old.
A gray haired man with a kind smiles.
He would walk by you and if you said "hello " to him.
A penny was all your reward.
Now he walks the streets of heaven. With a smile on his face.
Telling everyone "I'm an angel and these pennies are from heaven."

We may be apart o'little one.
Not by those of yours or mine.
Too far to travel just to say hi and to far just to stay.
But with the question in mind we can find that way to talk.
You call and happy you become now you know we give love.
Lost love that has always been there from grandma and me.
A phone call away from love you'll be, so smile little one
You're not far at all

Beer bottle Blues
Here I sit all broken hearted.
She left and is not going to come back.
One beer might **** the pain.
Then my friends all say she was no more than trash.
That she really didn't love you.
Two bottles of beer to **** the headache..
The feelings that I had for her was so great.
That the third bottle of beer would do me in.
Now so drunk I can not remember her name.
The fourth bottle will say it all.
Beer bottle blues that's what I got.
Hey joe another round.
Then I'll quit dreaming

I sit on my pouch at night and hear the night owls hoot.
First one then another call back and forth
You can hear them far away.Another here and there.
Hoot hoot they cry just to see who answers them.
A coyote off in the far distance answers with a howl.
Hoot hoot at times I think they are talking to me.
The night owls up late like me
