Joisey, born & bred...

...born here, lived here & likely will die here...


Poem Artwork

 

Started out in joisey,

Will likely die quite noisey,

But I’m happy to be a joisey boy,

I just love to out of staters annoy…

 

Joisey drivers don’t drive in the left lane,

Pennsylvania & New Yorkers are really a pain,

Then there are the Maryland drivers,

Surprising any of them can be survivors,

DWI all of them are stricken with,

Driving Without Intelligence, that’s the truth plain…

 

They all come to the beach to drop their trash,

Never mind that a trash can is within arms reach,

Can’t of them all or any of them teach,

I try to stay away or there will be with them a painful clash…

 

The winter is the best time in good old Joisey,

Love do I the beach then,

No tourists there at that time, the cold keeping away them,

Joisey is at that time what it has always been for me, a gem

Thanks for the great driving advice. I will be looking for those state license plates the next time I go, “Looking for America,” on the Annoying Joisey Twinepike.

Got to stay away from the beaches, they can be bitches when a hurricane teams up with a nor'easter during that wonderful season that tourists are leavin'.

Sounds like the majority of American 'lazies!' Everything disposable, the world is their trash can. The beautiful Comal and Guadalupe Rivers here must be regularly cleaned out by volunteers. What I don't understand is that they all seem to have plenty of money to spend on their trash, while some of us struggle to pay the rent!

I know what you mean! You'd think that Rt. 2 in Cleveland, Ohio was a dump!! I live on the outskirts but I'd like to go pick up all that trash and throw it in the respective owner's home.

Love ya!

It is a good thing to love where one lives. By the way, Ed; I am continuing to exercise. Today was my 107th ride around the mountain. I am probably in the best physical shape that I have been all of my life. But love pain, I know nothing about how to heal it. I just keep going. Thanks for caring though. Love and peace to you,
