EXIT THE CHASE

EXIT THE CHASE

(Poetic blogger’s philosophy)

Since he hasn’t the time

To pursue women inclined…

He thinks it okay

When they come HIS way

To then lay down a dime.

THINKING ABOUT FOLLOWINGS

THINKING ABOUT FOLLOWINGS

At six hundred sixty-four,

“By The Mighty Mumford” is going for more…

Even though few

Actively view

The current stuff to adore.

–

Another blogger called,

Why don’t they all…

Visit and yield

Blockbuster appeal,

THAT would be a splendid “befall.”

–

I guess even my interest changes,

As the current group “following” rearranges..

And few choose to be

Recalled by me,

But keep wandering back to their ranges.

–

Some folks I would keep are lost,

Is following this blog not worth the cost…

Am I saying the same

Thing over again,

Like a worn shoe to be tossed?

–Jonathan Caswell

THAT KAREN IS A BLOGGER!

THAT KAREN IS A BLOGGER!

(Refers to a March 21st, 2014 post…A NEW REDHEAD AT WORK!)

I met the new redhead,

Her interest in poetry’s dead…

But delighted to log her

As a fellow blogger,

And so her business card said!*

DEBBIE, WE’LL MISS YOU!

DEBBIE, WE’LL MISS YOU!*

I heard a sudden rumor

That one has said is true…

That Debbie, fellow Blogger,

No more will follow through.

–

She’s left us like a vapor’s

Short time upon the Earth…

Coming to flower, then to seed

Among us with her mirth.

–

A struggle with M-S,

Is not an easy thing…

But Debbie’s spirit soared

When with friends blogging.

–

Scarcely a year I knew her

And the blessings she gave me…

Has her striving ended

To face eternity?

–Jonathan Caswell

* Received the apparent news this last week.

BEWARE UNFORTUNATE FINGERING!

BEWARE UNFORTUNATE FINGERING!

 

Keyboarding is a challenge

For an older fingering feat…

Pressing ALT or CTRL unknowingly,

Hasten a blogger’s defeat.

–

Those fat flying fingers, notorious

They are for hitting wrong keys…

Don’t expect “Spell-check” to save you,

With words that may cut off your knees.

–

Oh, spell-check is great for sounds-alike,

And similar-meaning words…

Don’t automatically assume its choices are right

Or you may end up with funny-sounding verbs!

–

Unfortunate fingering takes time to screen

So edit your own adventures…

Please don’t come to me to bail you out,

I’ve got my own mistakes to cure!
