Why wait until the clock strikes 12 for the new year? Shake rattle and roll right now.
Before the clock strikes 12, like starting right now, I'm going to be partying my behind off. And it won't be an accident, it'll be on purpose, a plan made to joy. I plan to have a good time, even if the devil has a bad one in mind. After 53 years of fighting that fool, I've graduated from the Lord's school. This is a mental world, physically endowed. In your mind, you can turn the devil blind. So I X him out of my scene, then carry on my joy dream. Bring it to life, forget the devil and his strife. Fools not going to scare me forever, even if he is more clever. Strike of 12, is right in this next second. It's starting right now! Word G

Sure seems funny how as we age, the years just go by so quickly when it just dragged by when we were kids! Good write, Grady; happy New Year to you and yours! (((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Texas, Karen Lynn. :D (I officially reach middle-age in June of 2004; I'll be 45~! GAD!!)

New Poetry by OnepoetGem *the Poetic Rapper

I once heard this preacher say, "I''ll preach out of a paper bag if I have to." I feel the same about verse.

Paper Bag Poet

From the wishing well, minusing the devil''s hell.

I Wish U Well

Roses are red, thorns prick instead, depending on the head, or what is later on said.

Thorns End

The world is full of angry pissed off people everywhere, here and there, and some really don''t care. They have anger to spare.

Pissed Off People

Life is a sweet and sour affair, so take a deep breath and find some fresh air, that is if you dare or really care.

Deliver Us From Evil

We need oxygen, aka air, no matter what it needs to be there, however life at times isn't fair.

Lung Answer

and likes, whatever! Oh yes, the racist and bigots are here too, just like in regular society.

Peoples Dislikes

"Be happy for what you escape!" A Trask quote got me to thinking, and inking.
