The
Great Equalizer
It’s generally been said, down
through the ages
That life comes in several
stages.
Sometimes it’s cold and sometimes
it’s hot--
And sometimes it all just goes to
pot.
The weather, you see, is the
subject of this.
Sometimes it’s bad and sometimes
it’s bliss.
But, agree with me here, if you
can:
The weather, my friend, is most
important to man.
But there’s a secret out there,
unthought by most
That can give many a man reason
to boast.
Whether it’s winter, spring,
summer, or fall,
The weather, you know, affects us
all.
It matters not if you’re rich or
poor
The winter cold will blast your
door.
So you’re from the other side of
the tracks?
That doesn’t mean you can always
relax.
The weather knows no stripe or
class,
A wealthy woman or lowly lass.
The clouds will shower just as
soon
On a new golf course or old
saloon.
On one of those days, so lovely
in May
Should someone ask, have this to
say:
I have no bias towards those with
money.
Today, for all, it’s bright and
sunny!
So, buck up, old pal, and
consider this:
Don’t let the weather make you
hiss.
Just take it in stride and always
remember
It’s the same for all, be it June
or December!
Buck Creek State Park
Here I sit, just a little bit
tired,
Hoping somehow to be inspired.
The seagulls above me whirl and
twist;
As I, down here, complete this
list.
A list of things this summer I’ll
do,
When sun is much and clouds are
few.
Oh, the ceaseless joys of those
carefree days:
They will never cease to me
amaze.
To ‘zona and ‘fornia we’ll
happily fly,
Just to get out and see the sky.
Lions and tigers and bears we’ll
see.
‘Cause we’re Americans, and we
are free!
Thank you, George Wash and Paul
Revere
For now we live without fear.
Because of you we live in a land
Where
Liberty and Peace are close at hand.
