Couldn’t sleep—what a shame–
Had playtime to reclaim…
Three or more tries
Under night skies,
But with a clearer brain!
–
He completed reconnecting
Both spur and runaround track connecting….
All rail joiners fit
He was done with it,
Couldn’t test with the power pack defecting!
–
Musical power packs,
Changing over to power tracks…
When he’s done
both layouts’ll run,
He’ll go on to more creative acts!

Google Image of a real train engine switching a spur track..
His shakiness increased,
Didn’t have much to eat…
A protein bar
He found so far.
His necessary treat1
–
With blood sugars dipping low,
He really should test to know…
Exactly how far
Down we are,
His “118” getting low!

The blogger ended in flight
Before could sign off last night…
today at work
He felt like a jerk,
For a while it wouldn’t work right!
–
Repeatedly it shut down,
He signed off with a frown…
Waited an hour
To regain its power
And now he’s going to town!
–
–J.E.C.
Troubles keeping from sleep,
Oh what struggles to keep…
Time to let go
Before he sinks low,
He’ll be an exhausted heap!
–
Desperation comes,
The pinnacle of his sums…
Adding up fast
To disastrous blast,
Never ready for what comes!
–
His dad had a similar feat,
Struggling in his sleep…
Sat bolt upright:
“Lord–You take it, Alright?”
And fell into deep, peaceful sleep!
–
Obsession easily comes,
Will you stick to your guns…
Give it the Lord–
Peace then restored–
Doze off after a few “ho-hums”.

New Englanders–no worries–
These are just a few scattered snow flurries…
They’ve come and gone
So we can move on,
Donning warm woolies and furries!

–
Walk on dry pavement
Thinking of the snow to come
Might be calling out
–
Man’s struggle with drifts
Many legendary tales
Not all of them survived
–
Walking on pavement
Thinking about fifteen inches
Winter battles come

IT WAS nice and cold,
But the fifties this weekend we’re told…
Bouncing around
In winter we’ve found
More likely to foster a cold.
–
Tonight we expect rain,
How long it will freeze can’t say…
Supposedly warm
By tomorrow’s form,
Much snow will wash away!
–
Is this our January thaw,
Before February’s cold and raw…
Massachusetts waits
To see if it skates,
Until Spring flowers grow tall!
–
Began raining by this time,
Slushy sidewalks are slimed…
Slippery-wet
It’s warmer yet,
Temperature’s on the incline!

Would you, Darling, please
Bring home cottage cheese…
Small curd will do
And something to chew,
Spicy brings me to my knees!
–
This husband is all a-flutter,
He’s buying more peanut butter…
He likes crunchy–
So nuts is he–
Of varieties he’ll buy no other!
–
Must buy some kind of meat,
And remember at least one treat…
Payday is here
‘Though the budget’s severe,
He wants to please his Sweet.

We used to pray in bed,
With either the sleepy head…
Now-a-day
They read and pray
From their recliners instead!
–
One or the other reads
Bible according to needs…
Then pray
Over the day,
Pledging to God their deeds.
–
She claims it’s drawing them closer,
He’s glad that he chose her…
They agree
To mute the TV,
And to God draw closer!

Before signing off around one,
“WSKG-TV” would run…**
JA-NA-KEE,
Phoneticly,
Until the program was done.
–
In tights a young woman sat,
Imagine a boy seeing that…
Lotus seduction
And breathing instruction,
The boy would try..sitting pat.
–
Folks of the Mind-Body-Spirit,
Hare-Krishnas in it…
Buddhist routine
What does it mean,
Some folks won’t go near it.
