Hope " Give it my best to be the best I can be"
You can't do better than to continue living that ethos love.

Courage, I hadn't heard that one. I love doggerel, and hate how some folk snobbish ly dismiss it. It is a talent in it's own right.

Thanks for the new thread, Dee.

i'm practicing non-attachment
i'm trying not to care
i haven't even showered
or changed my underwear

i'm practicing compassion
even for the jerks
i guess that would include myself
hey, whatever works

i'm putting up and shutting up
just tell me what to do
my opinions count for nothing
about what when why how or who

i promise not to boss you
i'm surrendering the lead
i'll follow you off your self-righteous cliff
no warnings will i heed

you could say i had potential
but demoted to a pawn
continuous improvement
seems oh so frowned upon

but no you wouldn't listen
you wouldn't lend an ear
maybe you were threatened
perhaps it wasn't me but fear

we'll all go down together
and it won't be my fault
i was only obeying orders
you can carve that on my vault

I can't find my focus
It's like I'm back to mocus
Except I've got these urges
To go on zany splurges
Not with online spending
Nor even drunks un-ending
But take a train to Cali
Or get lost in a dark alley
And find me a tall someone
A bad one or a fun one.
A tripping I would go.
But I must not do so.
So breathe, and breathe slow.

Sometimes my mind goes blank
From alcohol i drank
each day becomes more clear
I have less to fear
And many people to thank

zerothehero

Your sloth reminds me of your dog.

SnoozyQ

Lol yep , i see the similarities haha

I read that like 5 times looking for the secret meaning -- is it a Zen koan? An anagram? A coded barb? Finally....

I've got so much to do
And days to do it in- I only have a few
I'm so busy
I feel a bit dizzy
I sleep exhausted every night
And wake up no end in sight
Stress and worry enter my mind
It's hard to remember- 'One day at a time'

Elseware

Lost
Forlorn, empty
Searching, seeking, muddling
Nobody to listen, I need my pals
Supporting, cheering, caring
Funny, brave
Found

I lost the thread there for a while. Hi, everyone.. Missed you!

Welcome back to Limerick Land, my haiku-writing sweety!

So, I wrote this about my job. You know, the one I've been wanting shove for about seven years? Anyway, today I got word there is a really good chance I will get the transfer I requested into a new position. It's not 100% for sure, but my supervisor was asked to release me for parts of days for the next couple of weeks to start training me. If you pray, please put in a good word for me. I can't tell you how many times I've almost walked out, and I've hated hanging on for that coveted government pension. This will give me challenges as opposed to stagnation, learning instead of tolerating, growing instead of languishing, a new environment away from people around whom I have to walk on eggshells, and much more independence and independent work, which would be really good for my head...

i drank cuz i felt stuck
my job made me say yuck
they treated me like
so i'm asking...
wish me luck

courage2

Zero I wish you luck,
blessings from heaven wherever it is,
grace that surpasseth understanding,
that Dame Fortune smiles on you,
and you catch the evil eye winking,
a winning roll of the dice
and everything nice.

Hi everyone! About halfway done seeding, another 10 or 12 days to go then I can come back and get caught up! Just a little poem that came to me as I was seeding today...



Ten days of seeding has gone by
And I miss my friends on here
The stories, trials, and tribulations
But I sure don't miss my beer

No more mornings fuzzy headed
When we're filling up the cart
With fertilizer and the seed
Trying to get an early start

The noise of the equipment
Didn't help my pounding head
I just wanted to get finished
So I could crawl back in my bed

The boss says he is quite impressed
He sees a whole new me
Giving up the beer and whiskey
Has finally set me free

I just wish I'd done it sooner
All those years of wasted life
Finding comfort in a bottle
Not the arms of my darling wife

And now I wake up in the morning
Looking forward to my day
Fifteen hours on the tractor
But this year I'm worth my pay

And so my friends here on SR
You've had some quiet time
But I hope you've missed this old cowboy
My writings and my rhyme

It won't be long and I'll be back
And fill you with my words
You'll pray that harvest time comes quick
So that less of me is heard!

zerothehero

Always enjoy your poems, cowboy. Reminds me of my youth in Montana buckin bails...
