How would you prepare for the Mayan apocalypse Friday?
Me and Elvis
Gonna take a ride
In a silvery ship
With little green men inside
Pick up Morrison
Break on through
Look back and laugh
At the likes of you
Bigfoot's coming
He's bringing the booze
We're gonna get smashed
What's there to loose
But if the Mayans are wrong
And all life is not over
We'll face Saturday morning
With a Doomsday hangover

TV crew to search for Bigfoot in Kansas
They will be here to investigate e"Roe"neous reports that a number of Bigfoot eggs, which closely resemble golf balls, have been found to have been shot along the Kaw.
It would appear that someone had been using the Squatch Orbs for target practice.

It's Halloween Night in Your Neighborhood
And it all started so innocently...

It's Halloween Night in Your Neighborhood
For a brief instant the fairy princess
with the oversized gown
balances on wobbly heels
upon the step of the web strewn porch
The goblins and superheroes
pay scant attention as she pitches forward.
Star tipped wand escapes her grasp
And plastic pumpkin rolls down the walk
spilling its hoard of
Halloween treasures
into the darkness.
The skinned knee oozes
slightly thickened dampness
through the sparkly dress
and princess tears roll
down reddened cheeks.
Somewhere in the deepening darkness
of the hallowed eve
her plight draws a gasp
from the creatures of the night.
The hollow eyed ghost
and the wide eyed owl
reply in unison
to echo her cries
Boo! Hoo!

In a Perfect World
A perfect world
And what it means
To different people
Are different things
To some perfect is
All lending a hand
To all those in need
And helping them stand
To others perfect means
That for their own sake
They get to hold on
To what they grab and take
But most of us fall
Somewhere in the middle
We like to take some
And to give back a little
It's not hard to see
That there's those who feel
They haven't the time
For tiny hand or small heel
But for us who feel sad
Whose hearts are torn
We can't help but cry
At tiny lives left unborn
We wish somehow
That each one had
The chance to know
A mom and dad
And grandparents too
Whose faces do beam
When little ones show
Up on the scene
We just had ours
A few days to snuggle
Even if their small noses
Did run and did bubble
Our world is perfect
When little ones we can hold
Though they left us both
With the perfect cold
Yes we know they're not perfect
Nor their parents, nor we
But together we make
A perfect family

Do you know who Carrie Nation is?
She became irrelevant when they did away with "Don't axe, don't tell"

What is a meal or a food that you think captures the essence of summer and why?
With pigs in full bloom
Lots of BLT's loom
The Summer has got a great start
Sweet corn on the cobs
We eat by the gobs
Sending butter and salt to the heart
Thick juicy steaks on the grill
Lots of brewskies to chill
Outdoor cooking's become such an art
'Tater salad with mayo
We could eat it all dayo
Home made not the stuff from the mart
The ice cream's a freezing
Cranking, sweating, and wheezing
The exercise helps me not fall apart
Onions and cucumber
Then to bed for some slumber
Glad they make my wife burp and not fart
Tomorrow's a new day
We'll do things the same way
'Cause it's summer and we'll do our part
To make it all grand
In this bountiful land
Waste not nor want, ain't we smart?

What you've recently done to deserve a round of applause
You all deserve
A round of applause
With plenty of cheering
And hearty Yee-Haws
For just putting on
A big smiling face
And making this world
A much better place
Caring for others
With true heart and soul
Is something you've set
For yourselves as a goal
You can start patting
Your backs and be glad
'Cause you help to make this world
A little less sad
And so I applaud you
Commentors rise tall
A standing ovation
I'm giving you all

What you've recently done to deserve a round of applause
Back to topic, I came up with a little song I sing over the phone to my just under two year old Grandson when he has Mom and Dad call "Papa" for him. Makes him giggle every time. : )
