Two liters of MOXIE is wild,
Not this happy since a long while…
Twelve can packs of DIET
Could barely stay quiet,
Bought the two twelve packs they had there tonight!
–
SHAWS in Whitinsville, Mass.
Is where I found this great cache…
A delicious way
To end the day,
Sure hope they have more in the back!!!!! ❤

Going Canadian,
The collector bought another engine…
From RAPIDO TRAINS
It only remains
Just when his bank’s charge comes forth!
–
AfteR that special exhaust
Piping C.N. switchers have across…
their system-wide
Practice he spied,
If the model could be bought for minimal cost!
–
Without signing up for EBAY,
He found the right price to pay…
EBAY will arrange
Canadian currency exchange,
And he’ll receive it in the mail, someday!

Photo of the N scale GMD-1 model courtesy RAPIDO TRAINS, found on Google images. His is an older release.
A painting of “ESTHER LING,”
Indeed is it the real thing…?
The one we loved
And her blog, white doved,
Or is it just a representative thing?

Practice in city driving
Thankful sufficient timing…
Route memory
Made it easy,
Without my wife’s reminding!

Praise to you, God Most High,
For hearing prayer on the fly…
And your delight
Being quiet in your Sight,
Bringing us into your Light.
–
You would talk with us,
Yet we put up the fuss…
Ne’er slowing down
Nor coming around,
In ways that are not just!
–
Walking with your children in gardens,
Seeing our eyes at Thee widen…
drying our tears
and calming our fears,
Joy at mutual abiding!
–
We don’t model for kids,
the closeness and joy you give…
But stay away–
Asking others pray–
Misunderstanding God’s writ.
–
Pray for me, said like Simon,*
The sorcerer on his own ladder climbing…
Unwilling to claim
Given to him in God’s name,
What Christ, without his help, did buy for him!

His N scale model railway,
Unfinished to this day…
Is labeled P.C.
Not politically,
But “Procrastination Central”, he’d say!
–
So much on it still to do,
Each project is almost half-through…
Keeps changing direction
On theme selection,
Rearranging things as if on cue
–
HE THINKS…he’s nailed it down,
His scrap plastic pile’s quite a mound…
Rough kitbashing
Some parts go missing,
On which he won’t expound!

(From the author’s notebook. Written 4/14/16)
–
Depression seen as chronic,
Folks judge moronic…
Why choose
And refuse
To be catatonic?
–
Some have the crazy idea,
Behavior is willful and clear…
Always a choice
With inner voice,
Pointing the way to steer!
–
“Just stop that,” is a farce,
Who gave you the right to parse…?
Some things are not
As easily shot,
Without making it worse!
–
Why don’t you understand
Continuing to reprimand…
This creation fallen
Is appalling,
But the way things currently stand?
–
The chronic depressed are cast,
Into a bullring vast…
One says, “OLE”
All you need to say
Is begone, and the sickness is past”!
–
We’re often pushed aside,
Who will the “gutless” abide…?
But Christ’s embrace
Filled with grace
Can heal all that’s inside!

woe betide them that try
to se in stone what needs more time…
My turn table lost?*
without further cost?
Then I looked near bed time!
–
I thought I’d lost my lead
To that tyrn table, but indeed…
A curve could be made
With large enough radius laid,
To satisfy the using of steam.
–
A switch I’d previously cut in,
To one engine stall could run…
The other could Branch
From the turn table switch–
My space problem was overcome!
–
Envisioning a massive water wheel,
Fed by a sluice pipe has appeal…
This motorized–
Already planned (what a surprise?),
For which the tourists would positively SQUEAL!
–
And then, the bridge over a mill dam flood—
If I wanted, a covered bridge wouldn’t take TOO MUCH blood…!
Just for light tourist trains–
Steel reinforced all the same–
An occasional short freight could be good!

I wish I could draw all this now,
All it took was time to see how…
Possibilities arise
by opening one’s eyes,Imagination plus a day’s-worth of wrinkled brow!

*NOTE–Refer back to the post..ECONOMIC CHOICES IN MINIATURE…posted yesterday~!
The nature of who I am,
So sorry to post and scram…
Wife want eating
Three meals completing,
I’l come back here if I can!

This blogs my poetry,
Finding mine is the key…
SEARCH: “Caswell”–
Most are revealed,
Written heroically!
–
As to the prompt–almost any–
Subject inspiring–many…
Three or four styles
Bring you smiles,
A Christian blog not like any?

THE COFFEE MACHINE..is working,
An engineer left, smirking…
I used to drink
Two potfuls I think,
An empty machine is irking!
