Good Stuff

This week, we are invited to “tell us something good.  We know the world is full of a lot of bad, at the moment. So, any good (even if tiny) would be great to read about." 

. . . 

 

Something good 

Something good. Good to be shared 

Something good. Good to be eaten 

Something good. Good to be watched  

Something good. Good to be listening to 

Something good. Good to be stored 

Something good. Good to be sold 

Something good. Good to be smelled 

Something good. Good to be remembered 

Something good. Eight will be enough 

Something good. You, or I, can think of more

Something good. 

Something good. Now I found the real stuff:

Something good. Tell you my claim to fame 

Something good. Chocolate is my fave 

Something good. I watch college football 

Something good. I listen to Willie Nelson sing 

Well, I narrowed it down to the last four 

Now I'll chip on them a bit and pick one 

My claim to fame is only in my mind 

In my mind and it'll stay just for me 

Chocolate's wonderful, have some every day 

Aways on a graham with meds, not time 

College football on TV each weekend 

But college football isn't 'til next week 

That leave some Willie Nelson for tonight 

Now where did I leave that old CD?

Can't Complain

 Good Evening All 

Just a shorty 

Bedtime's come and gone 

Here to tell you 

Lived a happy life 

Had a few bumps  

Bumps along the way 

Father was mean 

Boxed my ears for naught 

First wife ran off 

Fell for a student 

Trust for women 

'Twas gone for three years 

Those were bad times 

Doors opened for me 

Rest was simple 

Behind something good 

I don't complain 

Hitched fifty-two years 

Best wife for me 

Simple, beautiful 

Open doors, used cars 

New ones not called for 

GI Bill was good 

College, three degrees 

Jobs as needed 

Factory then service 

There I learned a trade 

Aerospace Engineer 

Back to school 

College after work 

With law degree 

I taught Business Law 

Been retired, years 

Twenty-six Mrs 

Twenty-four mine 

Golf and travel time 

Now we are aged 

Life's been good for us
