Manners, or the lack thereof

Manners this writer often forgets,
Sorry am I if I lack them you can bet,
I try to make you laugh,
And hope nothing I write you do regret...ed

Manners, or the lack thereof…


 


This writer does speak on a myriad of subjects,


Some considered vulgar, some considered idiocy,


He can take your praise, even your lack of such,


Although it’s nice to hear, it is after all a crutch…


 


But thank you just the same,


For without your input I would feel lame,


Then to others and myself I would have to explain,


Speaking to the self, I would have to lay blame…


 


Seems I first wanted to discuss manners,


See what old age and the herb does to my memory,


Manners I seem to lack, burping and farting on cue,


I guess the only answer herein is the fact I have no clue,


Just don’t sit near me, if you see me, even in a church pew,


As that is the place to really let one ring, tis a natural thing,


Given to us by god, yes to me and even you…

AM in a mood like never before tonight. Just free and easy. It must be the hot humidity, terrible today in PA. mUst be maybe like that in NJ too. Got e-mail from sister in law in Nj and she broke her foot 2 places and has a pink cast on it. I have been reminiscing all day, waiting on the den for writers to write new things, being bored, so many different feelings you would not believe. This poem starts out pertaining to how I feel today too.
Just don't give a D____ today, forgive my language.

I always wondered how much of this stuff goes on down on the football field, Ed... they can't fool me, those tight little pants. Brett Favre is as stinky as the next guy... even though he's on the best team in the world! Hot Diggity!

Hee hee hee....
I have to agree
With Eileen who spars
"Look to the stars."

(The way dogs and cats do) when they have done something
they shouldn't have, and then pretend it was done by
someone else. THEY are merely sitting here in innocence,
looking at the heavens.

Well, if God gave it to you, I guess it's alright to do it in church, too. But thanks for the tip about sitting next to you - Rufuz is truly a loyal and a brave critter.
