SENIOR CITIZEN BOOST
preservationman Nov 2014
Live your life to the fullest
Don’t let it become the dullest
Forget about those aches and pain
As long as you are able to move that is what should remain
Also at the same time, don’t let anyone drive you in sane
You worked hard to see your retiring years
You have wisdom, but have no fear
Those are your years to preserver
Tell the rocking chair to rock itself
You are not like everybody else
Being a senior citizen doesn’t mean you are the forgotten one
It means you are experienced and no how to get things done
Perhaps you loss your true soul mate
Get out and enjoy and find another romantic date
Get involved in hobbies that capture your interest in relate
Don’t even bother on thinking in hesitate
Nursing homes are for people who have given up
Act like a Broadway musical and stump
Doctor’s are more interested in your provider of health care
Yet keep your eyes open and always beware
God has opened your mind
You were given knowledge with everything combined
As a Senior, you were meant to live
You are the opportunity in give.

THE DARKENED LAGOON

An Alligator that looms the lake
The evening affair being a fate
A Two Year Old Boy being the Alligator’s date
It all happened in Disney World’s Florida frontier
It was supposed to be fun where one could preserver
A Family coping with a loss
The Alligator was simply using force
The family shouldn’t have went to the lagoon while it was dark
Now that certainly wasn’t smart
Yet the eye of the Alligator was timing his mark
Danger in the midst
The story sounding more like a thriller movie, but with true accountable reality twist
The Magic Kingdom could be seen in the background
But in the distance was a lonely lagoon
The sad fate being a little boy’s doom
So young, but Death became an immediate tomb
However, signs and a fence should have mentioned beware of Alligators
This is something all can relate
But we have regrets that are too late
June 15, 2016 will be the remembered date.

Why does a TV series, Bat Phone, Villains and Gotham City have in common?
Batman played by Adam West
Adam West, you fought a good fight
Your name will continue to shine written in the Batman light
Villains always felt they had you trapped
But along with Robin you give them a tough lesson of smack
Your thinking plans were always sharp as a tack
But leave it to the Bat computer to figure villains out
It was words of POW, KABOOM and CRASH
But you were Batman and it was business as usual in justice in Gotham City
Yet to the villains no one had a pity
The RIDDLER always had a plot
The JOKER tried to tie you in a knot
The MADHATTER in look into my hat
MR. FREEZE with his chilling detail
But throughout was always a villain fail
Justice always triumphant and the villains went to jail
Who could forget a voice, “Will Batman and Robin make it through their fate, but is too late. Be sure to find out Same Bat station and Channel
Commissioner Gordon and Chief O’hara all sadden in having a loss
But Batman and Robin you a team being a force
You will be missed in your acting ability ways
Yet the remembrance is here to stay
Acceleration in my mind being the Batmobile and Bat Cycle
Crime Fighting TV will never be the same
However, the thought of TV Batman and Robin will continue to remain
Your mission going forward in Heaven will be to recruit faithful Souls
But it will be the face of Adam West that will be the behold
Commissioner Gordon says, “Thanks for being Gotham City’s Protector and always being on call”
Adam West response is “To My Fans, Thank You All”.

But wait!
Why don’t you invite some friends?
Pepto Bismol, Tum’s, Imodium, Kaopectate, and then a moment in thought, “I only have one life to live for my country”
I don’t think so
I would also make sure I have my legal document in placed and a Bed Pan if I just can’t make it
Well the Bake Off is on
But let me stand back where I belong
The competitors are baking with all their secret ingredients
I wonder what’s their secret?
I don’t want to know
But on with the show
Just don’t tell my stomach in advance
Now back to the Bake Bake Bake Off
The competitors are now ready to place their cakes into the oven
The oven is set at 350 to heat
This might be a good time to retreat
But I might have to be the Judge
However, why do I feel like I am being nudged
It’s a ***** job but someone must do it,but why me?
The cakes are ready for the taste test or garbage bag
There were five competitors:
COMPETITOR# 1  - Cake went flat like a tire

COMPETITOR# 2  - Cake couldn’t be cut, and the only words that came
                                       out of the Competitors mouth was “BUT”

COMPETITOR# 3     I am not sure if it is a Layer Cake or Pancake

COMPETITOR# 4     Shouldn’t be in the competition as cake had nasty
                                       all over it.

COMPETITOR# 5     Well done with their cake in bake. It was moist and
                                        Tasteful. Now that was a cuisine.

Well I managed to get through the whole ordeal as I am still to tell the tail and aftermath.
This concludes a moment of bake
As how does my stomach feel in this journey, let’s just say “Give or Take”.

The story of a defined bus
A description of the 1954 Greyhound Scenicruiser that reminds us
A coach bus with its own design
A long distance bus that comes to mind
The Scenicruiser had all the features
Air conditioning to help passengers relax
Picture windows so the passengers wouldn’t feel perplexed
A full equipped restroom at your disposal at your elect
Then a dual half floor with a big window in the middle of galore
The view from all angles at the top
The traveler’s enjoyment that just wouldn’t stop
The famous Scenicruiser being that revolutionized bus
It involves the slogan, “Leave the driving to us”
A bus of the past
The memory that will certainly last
The workhorse of the fleet
The reclining seats that add to the treat
I almost forgot, every seat had a place for your feet
Scenicruiser of years past
I almost hear the echoes of the wheels that turn
History in the making of a long lasting urn
Hauling passengers and freight
The idea is don’t be late
The motto, “Don’t miss the bus”
The Scenicruiser’s history involves all of us.

A poem with a lot of jive
Surfing over the waves with a couch
Being an absolute slouch
Just went over a small wave
As a Couch Potato, I must behave
But I am hoping my couch will stay afloat
Hopefully I won’t drown and choke
But Hi Fiving on a couch might be considered a joke
Yet I am standing on my couch being ready for the big wave
Come on wave and show me your best shot
I am waiting for you wave at the right spot
Now I am riding the wave out
I am on the water wave making a frightening shout
However, I have landed precisely on the shore
Being a couch potato, it will be sleep I can’t ignore.

MY REMEMBRANCE OF IRENE

Irene being a woman I worked with long time ago
She is my spotlight and the content of my show
However this is what you don’t know
Irene was a woman who had Cancer
When I think of her, it is as if it was yesterday
But I worked with Irene 32 years ago
Irene was my Boss as the Assistant Manager at Raven Press, a major publishing house
A company that got its name from “The Raven” by Edgar Allan Poe
Irene was the one that gave me opportunity
Her strength being my inspiration
Irene’s Cancer opened my eyes in valuing life
For me that is good advice
I will never forget Irene
A woman who was truly serene
I never ever saw Irene to ever be mean
I use the word opportunity strongly
Once when I applied for a job in the publishing house within the Promotion/Advertising Department
The Department needed a Clerk Typist and I took a typing test
Well I must confess
I was quite nervous when I took the keyboard test and anxiety set in
But Irene felt and believed in me and hired me on the spot
It was not a plot, but an opportunity in giving me a shot
Irene really left an impression on me
It’s a conversation about Irene for 32 years, but her spirit still lives within me
Irene I will never forget and I have no regrets.

Posing with assurance
It was the muscles being trained filled with endurance
The Muscle man walked along the beach
His muscles illustrated fitness and let me teach
He had a body no women could ignore
But do women really want to explore?
He no sand hitting his face
His Muscles took up all the space
When at the Muscle Beach Pit, he lifted the weights with intensity up and down
He was pumped but not bound
Built with detail
But what would happen his muscles did fail?
The Muscle Man thought he had a body that wouldn’t quit
But had to have clothes altered for his muscle fit
So Muscle Man keep thinking muscles are it
Hold up to your enthusiasm a bit

Where ever the action went it was driving into adventure being far
It could be a mountain trail
It might be across the globe with anything but fail
But the Knight-Rider car with the nickname “KITT”
However, the car being energized and totally computerized was it
I had the opportunity while vacationing in Downtown Los Angeles to visit Universal Studios Hollywood
This is the place where all the Oscars stood
But let me fill you in a little secret
There were several other Knight-Rider cars
I will call them “Stand in Autos”
When the original Knight-Rider car crashes beyond repair
You can always depend on many many spare
Yet the Knight-Rider car was always on the move
There were thrills in action to prove
But for the moment don’t move
For example, a racing car in competition that thinks it is more Tech
But wait, the Knight-Rider car having flips and tricks being the Knight-Rider car having effect
Eye on technology in having its own elect
I almost forgot, I met the man behind Kitt’s wheels, David Hasselhoff
We actually spoke in person one on one

But there is a spotlight giving it light

It would often be dark bearing no lights
But you had to be strong and use might
Sometimes Correction Officers look the other way
This could be on any given day
Being a **** is about having a stance
The mean streets were about taking a chance
As a **** you don’t advance
A ******* **** is about having control within the Hood
Showing no fear is how a **** stood
Crying is definitely not an option
Fright, but never showing it

Yet the focus is consistently on blame

At times it might sound like a forbidden trap
Hola if you know what I am talking about

It had no choice in being its strive
The woods were nothing but endless trees

The motion like a movie reel
But it was the baby Coyote maneuvering in survival being for real

The mystery behind why the crime is being committed

It is praise all the way
I can have all the overtime I want
My responsibility of salvation, glory and holiness
My experience is my witness
I don’t have to worry about being fired
It’s Jesus that helps me to stay inspired
If I do something that isn’t right
God doesn’t get all up tight
It’s divine understanding in plain sight
No money needed to satisfy
It’s guidance from God in every try
I can pray all hours of the day
It’s a permanent job here to stay
A new day is a new experience
Energy applied with plenty of endurance
I never forget to get my glorified work done
Jesus is Lord and is number one
When the job seems tough
God understands when it is enough
A Boss every one should know
The Lamb’s voice being the show
My hours never have to be complete
It’s God’s blessings keeping me from deceit
A Boss I am proud to work for
His teachings are what I want to explore
His praise and Mercy are what I applaud.

FAMILY FEUD FIXTURE
preservationman Jul 2015
How much do families know?
Follow me s its going to be a show
There will be laughter so keep it on the down low
A question I would ask, “Name something people should do, but don’t”
The number one answers being, TRY, MOVEMENT, CONFIDENCE, ASSURANCE AND PERUASION
Next question of my own being, “Name something people would do, but can’t”
The top answers, WRITE, TEACH, INFLUENCE, ENCOURAGE, EFFORT and EXPLORE
Many families would say all the wrong answers
It seemed it would be best if a Deer just pranced
All the families thinking on the wrong theory
A game show shouldn’t have its own mystery
Three X’s when a family loses
The other family being more enthused with the idea in being determined in not having a loss
Points awarded in what was on the Family Feud Board
Until next time with more fun
But tonight we are done.

An Aunt and a Nephew on an adventure to explore
It all happened at the Macy’s Herald Square Store
It was the marquee eyes and yellow buses that caught the attention in a little fellow being wise
As a tot, I picked up the yellow bus
I had to have the bus being a must
My Aunt saw the bus in my hand
She told me to put back at her command
But a tot determined to get the bus became my demand
I made such a fuss for that bus
My Aunt was forced to buy the yellow school bus
My persuasion in maneuver became a must
My passion for any bus became my reality with no fuss
Buses have become my hobby from that start
I have a complete 2,000 Bus collection in making my mark
From the start of the engine to the movement with exhaust
A bus hobby I love
The structure and wheels I think of
From a bus pioneers point of view
Here is a more detailed clue
My apartment is a like a bus collector’s paradise
Each bus I have represent themselves
Yes, they fit quite comfortably on the shelves
But it’s Greyhound ahead on the mount
I have so many busses you simply can’t count
It’s my Greyhound glass stretched hound
It doesn’t make a sound
However it stands on my bookshelf being sturdy bound
Buses have become what I missed
I don’t intend to ever dis
My buses have become my catch
They are my assortments like a batch
My buses are just for fun, but everlasting as the shining sun.

It was June 6, 2015
This was a bus trip that convened
As I go along, you will see what I mean
It was the Metropolitan New York Bus Association Event
From New York City to Pennsylvania we went
We stopped in Lebanon, PA for a bus pulse stop
Timing couldn’t have been just right as seeing the buses kept our hearts functioning tops
Later, it was journey on to the Museum of Bus Transportation and the Spring Fling
However being a bus enthusiast was a good thing
There were all kinds of bus models for sure
Yet, there was plenty to explore
Viewed the Silver Eagle Continental Trailways, Golden Eagle also of Continental trailways, MC6 Motorhome Supercruiser and much more
Let the exploration go on
After that, we moved to the Annex, which was a drive away
There was a lot with more buses to see
There was the MC8 Peter Pan bus, MC9 Bonanza Bus Lines and who could forget a Capitol Trailways Buick car that travelled from Pottsville, Pinegrove and Harrisburg, Pennsylvania
Before buses hit the road, they started as a car in buses begin
Things started to change from when
Yet stagecoaches were put to an end
The only thing about that, your **** got sore and the pain you just couldn’t ignore
Being a bus nut s we hobbyist are called
We are the bus industry preservationist, and the buses we stand for all
Now I added 2 new buses to my large vast models collection
Buses are more than just over the road, they captured my heart in their behold
This is my own personal vibe being never told
I am being honest and bold
Buses have been my passion since the years of my birth
They will remain with me until my death on this Earth
Bus models have changed over the years
This is why I still preserver
Buses from past have become my memory that shall last
Museum’s capturing buses in still, but being determined has become my will.

The mighty storms that blow, but intervention you will stand
God’s true followers are under his command
The heavy rains that become a terrain
Yet with wisdom and understanding no need to complain
God’s word is the target of aim
The Lord follows us all in where and no one else can compare
Situation storms are made to force people to abide
But God sits high, and carry’s all above a meaning less stride
Struggles by and by
Yet it’s Heaven’s strength that keeps telling us to continue to try
However these same evildoers try to hide
But God knows where to put the tide
You have nowhere to run
God is faster than any firing gun
The Lord see’s and knows
He is his own show
Conflict doesn’t stand a chance
God’s praises in how you will advance
Yet the enemy wants to attack Joy in being a prance
But once again they don’t stand a chance
A storm is an ongoing test
But it is the Lord that says it best
“Through the storm don’t be alarmed, as I am the Lord God and will not harm”.

WHAT MODE OF TRAVEL?
preservationman Mar 2016
If you are standing you need to sit
But if you are sitting, you are at where you need to be
To start off, I am the adventurous type, but economical
I was planning a vacation to Los Angeles by rail
But continue to follow me throughout the trail
I called Amtrak to see how much a compartment would cost, but remember this was in 1983
Boy did I get a price surprise!
The Amtrak Travel Agent asked me if I was standing
I told the Travel Agent I am standing across going across country
The Travel Agent later stated, it’s not for your trip, but at the present state
Now that I can relate
I told the lady I was standing, but was informed, I need to sit for this
The round trip compartment fare in 1983 was $1,100
I responded, that can’t be the price as I am getting the entire car
But that wasn’t the case as it was the distance
One Room with a private toilet
Later I responded, the only thing cheaper was coach
I guess I would have to hop aboard a Freight train and travel low class in a caboose
Perhaps jump on a back of a moose
At that time, at least I was still in my youth
The train sounded too much
I figured, I may have to gallop on a horse
Of course Of course
I do know how to ride a horse
But that would take even longer
Well the Hound bus won out
The round trip fare was $99.00 in 1983
I did travel to Los Angeles being my route
There you have it, a railing thought being the highway end
However I was asked why didn’t I fly?
My question was simply why?
It was Cross Country with scenery to see
It was captivation scenery that had me
There you have my past vacation flow
I put you in the know
But for now, it’s time for me too go.

I wished hard and strong
It seemed like a dream lasting so long
So I wished on a star
My wish I hope will go far
I wondered more
My mind was focused in not being sure
A hoping approach
It might seem like so joke
My wish was the essence of long life
Perhaps a little more just like spice
But sometimes we don’t always get our strive
It’s not impossible to ask
But it is a thought you don’t let pass
Everlasting life is something that comes from above
It makes you think of a soaring dove
Yet it is beyond the stars to think of
Spirit that is far away
A man too whom I give praise every day
A wish that is in the almighty hands
It’s a vision at his command
It comes down to being a believer in the Savior’s caravan.

THE LEGACY OF MEDGAR EVERS
preservationman Jan 2015
A man who was involved in the Civil Rights Movement
A race against struggles with time
Fire and Beatings of opposition foes
It was be on defense or lose your toes
Medgar Evers being an educated man
His name and accomplishments known throughout the land
His voice being the statement of what society wants to label
But what theory of opposition is truly brought too the table
A taste of race feeling displaced and how long of the movement that will continue in the race
Medgar Evers and family house was once bombed
This set the situation in being harm
Medgar Evers was the utmost of dignity and recognition
It was a narrow escape being precision
One’s words being a multitude of several
One’s heart being a commitment too many
One’s desire to represent from start to finish
His introduction turning into a bow of finale
His life being distinguished
No matter if a man was shot down
The fight is on to continue in keeping Civil Rights sound
Medgar Evers College, a unit of City University of New York
An educational institution I am proud to say
It was where I graduated back in the day
Legacy history being part of my life
Inspiration to move forward being Medgar Ever’s advice
“Expel into explore, your shout outs that shouldn’t be ignored, but align at the bulls eye and ask many questions of why, and being idealistic in every try”.

Reflection in looking back
History in following being the educational track
Success from the past
Remembrance that will surely last
It’s about Afro-American strives
Historians having theories in how they derived
The month of February that has arrived
Inventions that brought historians fame
Recognition beyond in aim
Excellence that describes it best
Education in knowledge will always have a test
Struggles only Historians can confess
It was determination with endurance in every historian’s try
It was the true emotions and at times a cry

Giving viewers succeed tools in knowing how to proceed
Historians presenting their own creed
Learning being more than a lesson
Understanding in wise up in accelerating into wisdom
Actions having reasons to move
Illustrations having everything to prove
Where there is influence comes with assurance
Commodity coming later
Monetary value not yet seen
Yet never stay in darkness, but let your light bleen

Let no boundary hold you back
Abilities in talent construct is not a lack
It doesn’t what Race or even if you are Black
It means be triumphant and not uninspired
Be inspired at every minute into the hour
Don’t get discouraged when others want to sour
Feel your determination and that is will power
The timing is hour after hour
Let knowledge be what you have achieved
How your approach theories is what you will receive
Achieve on my Sisters and my Brothers
We as Historians made our mark
It’s your turn, follow our abilities, and let that be your start.

Inspiration to step out and let your involvement take flight
You got the education, but don’t sit back and take it light
CUNY MEDGAR EVERS COLLEGE is on the move

Vote wisely in who you think is capable in being fair
But there comes a beware, we need an election that won’t be false
We need the true solitude that won’t go flat leading to fortitude
Yet this should also include
Responsibility in one’s action
Dedication in one’s movement
Sound accomplishment in one’s efforts
Personal agenda’s being no way
Accountability we should all say
Your rights guided by the law
Remember Dr. Martin Luther King in the vision he saw
The laws are what stand for all
We are the vote in the call
Ask plenty of questions, but just don’t stall
Vote with your true heart and not gratifications you expect
Remember, it is about elect

Yet from my Accounting Professor motto, “Respect but also suspect”
A vote that doesn’t go we will be in the same continued flow

Adjustments of Evil minds
Think communicate
Add friendship being relate
The bottom line being the front line must be the focus of change Destination to reach a new range establishing life matters exchange Change, Change and more Change
Then follows of achievement in total difference
In order for change to come, we must make a change
Regardless of what’s happening in the world, change must be persistent
No it won’t come in an instant
But change must come
The way we think, react and anger from within with voices having an uncertain living approach
Negative thoughts must become positive inspirations
Having respect for one another
Don’t act negative for no apparent reason to the other
Frustrations don’t change a thing
It’s about realize, but don’t cling
Change comes when efforts within movements made
But don’t sit, hide and be comfortable in the shade
Protests are good, if change is definitely going to surface
But continued talk on change will have things remain
Then all talk and no action being plain vain
Past Civil Rights Leaders had the right idea, make change, but never have fear
Afro-Americans killings need to stop creating killings among other Afro-Americans, but this goes for all races as well
The world is revolving and it is becoming a tell
The answer in people’s mind is oh well
If we all don’t change, things will continue to be the same
All entities with no change becomes lame
There is no room for excuses
There is no time to blame
Peace and tranquility needs to be the bull’s eye on direct target at aim
A world that gathers

Well, have I got the lawn mower with a powerful gut
That is my interpretation being well put
However, this lawn mower went out of control and entered onto the New England Thruway
Now that is what I call a getaway
Leave it too Mike
So what was he thinking?
So who is Mike?
Mike is your average Home Owner with having dreams of establishing a house
He was married and had a spouse
Our story starts when Mike’s wife, Marilyn said too Mike that the grass needs to be trimmed
Well a little encouragement as Mike had to be primed
Now Mike never owned nor knows how to drive a lawn mower
That means Mike must borrow from a nearby neighbor
Big mistake
It wasn’t going to be a piece of cake
Mike was trying to figure out on how to start the lawn mower
The start button was pushed on
This adventure could be long
So the lawn mower starts to move
But what will Mike prove?
For starters, Mike just cut through several neighbor’s gardens, and grass cut in half traces
This experience can never be erased
Well the lawn mower is heading down Maple Drive
Look out Motorist and pedestrians as who will survive?
So the lawn mower goes up the ramp onto the New England Thruway
But how far will the Lawn Mower be on the highway stay?
Astray as been labeled getaway
Traffic now is all back up
Everyone seems to be wondering why is a lawn mower on the Thruway
Well Mike can’t even explain himself
Later, Police pull the lawn mower aside
Now the Police and Mike now reside
The Police asked Mike what was a lawn mower doing on the highway?
Mike’s response was, “I was attempting to mow my house lawn?”
But the Police suggested to Mike, you definitely went the wrong way
However, why today?
Mike, the next thing he knew, the lawn mower moved out of control
Pure behold
Now the Police told Mike, you know where the lawn mower belongs
Lawn Mower Express
Don’t take it lightly nor less.

A cemetery with a name only known as “Lost Soul”
Sue who no one really knew
Assumptions but nothing really thought through
Sue was often considered to be a Witch
It was spells enchanted into a wave of hands like a switch
Evil that was always on Sue’s mind
Darkness with no lighted moon in having people think in being blind
But within their own subconscious being sublime
It was in the Old Craven’s house
There was nothing moving, but some lonely mouse
This was the house where Sue dwelled
But as the hour glass turns, it was her wizardry being the tell
Sue was in no way related to previous owners of the house
But some considered her to be a spouse
Spouse or not but mysterious indeed
But please allow me to continue to proceed
Sue lived in the Craven’s house all alone
Why she did in the house wasn’t really known
It wasn’t until a fierce stormy night where spirits were seen disembarking from the Craven’s house
The lightening provided the video screen, and the thunder of evil in what it all could mean
Loud moans and a witch’s ***
Eerie emotions that would be definitely hitting the spot
Sue was pursuing she was a witch
But having no music not needing any pitch
Spells that would tell forgetfulness like a drift of a well
A night of breathless life
Mythical or fiction
The fact remains this was a condition
The unspoken word that was never ever told
Her powers were like a curse from hell
To many doubters, it was a thought of oh well
It was Sue’s forces combatting the evil from within
It was a moment of revenge
But it was no tricks being treats
It was becoming a night that won’t be entirely complete
Heaven holding the answer and hell being the firer ashes
Sue raised her hands to fight the Heavenly skies
But her fate that wasn’t really thinking wise
A lightening bolt having full charge
Sue was struck and died instantly
She was later placed in a grave only known as Sue
The evil was finally over
But did it really come to an end
Hidden spirits vow to come back on the hour of when
Sue’s grave reads, “ Hell has become my home, but I will return to once again roam”
Hell opened her gates, and sue became the fate
But the hour had come, but was it too late
Sue’s last name having no word
You now know and have heard
Utterance having a patient silence
Light guided by the moon, and darkness remembered as only a forever gloom.
