Working for a Living?

Posted by 2garrabrants

When Virginia has

sunlit, humidity-free

days, let’s stop and play.

~

Because there’s no chance

that this stellar weather will

wait for us to get off work.

Especially Then

Posted by 2garrabrants

With time this short,

and endless tasks a’looming,

can we hope to catch our breath?

~

Especially when 

time is short and endless tasks

are looming, we must pause, breathe.

Meddling With The Masses

Speaking of mettle,

when did we switch from playing

the game to gaming the play?

~

Every casino

owner knows about gaming

the odds for fun and profit.

Odds Are…

Posted by 2garrabrants

Just facing long odds,

those impossible hurdles,

proves our mettle, win or lose.

~

When facing the odds

our mettle is forged by the

way we choose to play the game.

Impossible Joy

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

Let’s find joy even 

when things don’t go our way. Let’s

try what seems impossible.

~

Impossible tasks

can become a source of joy,

but only when completed.

Apparently

When he can’t be sure,

at least he cultivates an

appearance of certainty.

~

When appearance is

everything certain truths are

no longer self-evident.

Ignoble Mettle

When the golden rule

has been replaced by the rule

of gold, what have we become?

~

That golden luster

seduces both hearts and minds

and thus, tarnishes the soul.

Freedom To Be Mean: The Whole Ballgame

Posted by 2garrabrants

Again, mean spirits

may yet be the salvation

of the hungry, poor, and meek.

~

Didn’t we learn that in  

two Corinthians touted

by Trump and his ilk?

Toy Tyrant Twattle

When all is said and

nothing consecutive is done,

could it be Trump is tweeting?

~

All bark and no bite

is a common hallmark of

yapping dogs with tiny paws.

It All Depends

Posted by 2garrabrants

Does retirement

seem to loom, large and dreadful,

or seem a friend, come to stay?

~

It all depends on

who you ask – the one who is

retiring or the spouse.
