Find Your Own Way

Don’t like what I say? Can’t stand the way I play? Maybe it’s your turpitude That gives you such an attitude! Get up off your back And clean up your own act Don’t like the way I do it? Come on!  You can intuit! Find your own way to do Right. You can dream and […]

Mephibosheth Fell on His Face

(2 Sam. 9) Mephibosheth fell on his face Said to David, “Here is your servant!” And Dave said, “Don’t sweat it my man! Any one from the House of Saul I can serve?” “Jonathan,” they said. “But he’s crippled in both feet” “Well, where is he?” said David, “Bring him here for me to meet.” […]

A Plumber’s Got to Do

A plumber’s got to deal With the dung of another. May not like the job, But he’s got no druthers. “Got to do, got to do What you got to do!”Talkin’ right here ’bout some do-do! Everybody got to do it When you get ’round to it Got to go, got to go, go, go! […]

Ikeman the Eggman

Ikeman the Eggman spreads that grease All over the stove every morn’ But I don’t mind a little chore Been doin’ such since before he was born. He’s a good lad, we know, always on the go Teaching school and coaching wrestling, If not for him and Petra, we’d be empty-nesting. And I don’t know […]

On Elli’s Birthday

Forty years ago we didn’t want any! Hard to think on it now with plenty, And yet the start is always with that one And she did bring lots of fun Breaking that ice and leading the way For all to follow in her sway. Yes, there is that influence, good or bad, And it […]

The Gathering

Celebrating champions for life, We come together to remember And promote that action which saves The lives of the innocents begotten Under cover of a woman’s choice. Yes, we rally to remember and celebrate Knowing that for each is assigned a date When he will meet with that fate Planned for every sinner of every […]

To Various “Platforms”

To various “platforms” I do goDispersing Wisdom to and fro.Many ears are made to tingleBy words that give a jingle,But without substance leave one dryTo look elsewhere to give Truth a try,Wandering here and looking thereFinding nothing everywhere.I put it out, my words to see,Yes, the words of God, to set them freeFrom foolish notions […]
