UP TO SPEED!
–
When I was growing up,
In Junior High School,
The melody was played for us–
The was the Choral rule.
–
Then we tried a modern song
A piece of soft rock…
It didn’t have a melody,
Our cushy life had stopped!
–
Our Director eased us into
Choral modernity…
With greater appreciation
For the modern music scene.

HAWKEYE, JUST BARELY.
A leaf fell down through the trees,
Under the riverbank he sees…
In a moment or two
Water current brings it through,
Riding the water, not breeze.
–
Picnics by riversides are restful,
And value of eyesight is testable…
Even though we’ve no need
To stay up to speed,
Having down time is good for the successful.
–
Watching leaves fall through trees is no crime,
As long as we get back on time…
We don’t need to capture fish
To enjoy a wholesome dish,
But to appreciate God’s Creation is prime.
–Jonathan Caswell
