A Place To Pee

 

A Place To Pee

© by Bud Lemire on Oct 24, 2021

Give me a place to pee

And then let me be

For if you look away

Then you can't see

What does it matter

With a weak bladder

When kidneys say go

Then you better know

Is there a restroom nearby

If not, I will cry

I need to empty soon

A fast leak like a balloon

There's got to be somewhere, that I can go

To let loose this urine, or it will blow

I need to do it so badly, to let it all out

I hope that it is soon, or I'll scream and shout

Now I can smell it, but I'm still not wet

So I'm closer to going, I'll try not to fret

If the restroom doesn't open, so that I can pee

I'll have to go quickly, behind that little tree

A little bit of humor mixed in with some truth.

As a kid, when my family went to Presque Isle,

Marquette, I had to go, and they told me to go

behind the tree. I did, and was later told as they

were laughing, that I could have picked a larger tree.

A Fish Story

 

A Fish Story

Enjoying fish is what life's about

Whether it be Perch, or it be Trout

Whitefish is among my favorite fish

It doesn't stay long on the dish

I have a taste for Salmon also

These are fish facts, that you should know

Walleye, doesn't do a thing for me

I tried it three times, so I let it be

There is a fish, and I say “Oh God!”

You know it's Friday, when I thank Cod

In Washington State, I had Red Snapper

I'm so glad these fish, come without a wrapper

As a kid, smelt was a favorite to eat

Memories of smelting at Wells, just can't be beat

Most of my family, liked to go fishing

Except me, I picked peas and did a lot of wishing

When Friday comes around

Buying fish is where I'm found

You know it's good for the brain

Think of all the knowledge you can gain

I love my Friday fish. The weekends are

even better when you enjoy what you eat.

The Covid War

 

The Covid War

You had the vaccines, and the booster too

You unmask, you're safe! But that is untrue!

Those not wearing the masks, are spreading it around

The virus keeps mutating, and the variants are found

If everyone got vaccinated, all would be fine

Yet, the rebels and the stubborn, are all out of line

While people are afraid of the virus, and living in fear

Others aren't believing, all the things that they hear

The Resisting unmasked, they say there's no such threat

While someone across town, smokes their last cigarette

The virus is spreading, mutating as it goes

Stupidity is growing, turning friends into foes

If the virus is so strong, that it gets to you there

Those without any protection, are in danger and should be aware

But they aren't listening, nor do they care

They walk around, and are unmasked everywhere

We try to talk sense into them, but they will not hear

While the variants mutant some more, and are drawing near

“It's my body, you can't tell me what to do!”

Another 3,000 dead, sad news that is so true

In this Covid world today, it's hard to make the right decision.

One thing for sure, if one country isn't dying from the covid,

then they must be doing something right. So many here in

this country think they are standing up for their rights. What

they're really doing, is making things worse. If the

Doctors and Nurses, and many others are wearing masks,

then it is far from over. Sit back, put on your seat belt,

and please put your mask back on (if you value your life,

and others). Thank you.

My Name Is Covid

 

My Name Is Covid

© by Bud Lemire on Aug 24, 2021

My name is Covid, and I'm out to get you

Many of you don't even have a clue

I've taken lives, and I'll take even more

The variant has made me, nastier than before

For the unbelievers, I'll show you how

Without a mask or vaccine, I can get you now

I'll make your life, a living hell

With a ventilator, as a friend as well

I'll make you so sick, you'll turn more than green

What I do to humans, is really obscene

I have no mind, so don't try to think

I'll make it very hard, for you to drink

Get a vaccine, and a booster too

Then maybe, I'll go easy on you

If you neglect me, like so many do

I'll make you feel, much worse than the Flu

I'm nasty, and I know how to win

I know exactly how, to make your head spin

If you're sick, I'm the one to blame

So don't think, this is some sort of game

It's not a game. The virus is alive and it

might even infect a family member, a close

friend, or someone you know really well. You

can be stupid, and not wear a mask or get the

vaccines. Or you can be smart and wear a mask

and get the vaccines. Your fate is in the choices

you make. Mask and vaccine is the right choice.

Do it now, before it is too late.

Vaccine

 

Vaccine

While there are people dying

There are others who are crying

Some are still trying

Others are just lying

“We don't believe in them” is what they say

While there are many living in fear, every day

Some go around, unchanged by it all

They believe, they won't be the ones to fall

“If it was contained only within, it would be your choice”

“But it affects everyone around you” says one voice

Taking all the precautions, may not be enough

People who have had it, had it really rough

Many have passed away, some that I knew

I'd hate to see this happen, especially to you

I'm still having long term effects from it, you see

This anxiety is stopping me, from all that I can be

They're even rewarding those, who will get the vaccine

The Covid virus is a threat, to every human being

If you prefer life over death, it's time to take action

So you can appreciate your life, with greater satisfaction

For those who haven't had the vaccine yet, it's time to

wise up. You say you don't know what they put in it?!

Well, you eat many foods, and let me tell you, you don't

know what's in it either. You get the Flu shot, and that

helps you too. There is a country where everyone was

vaccinated, and that totally eliminated the threat. With

your help being vaccinated, you will have done your

job as a citizen of this beautiful country. Oh sure, it

is your choice. But the better choice, makes you a

better and much wiser person. Be wise! Get vaccinated!

She Didn't Lose The Fight

 

She Didn't Lose Her Fight

© by Bud Lemire on Oct 7, 2021

They say “she lost her fight with cancer”

Did she? On the Other Side, she's now a dancer

She may have left Earth, the way that you know

In the Spirit World, she carries a bright glow

So you see, she didn't lose the fight

She is in a better place, within the light

She went through the doorway, to a much better place

Just remember this, if this should be the case

The better choices, are always the ones to take

In the places we call home, until we are Awake

Awake meaning, the soul awakening once more

As we journey, to the place we've been before

Before our life ever started, here on Earth

In the Spirit World, that happened before our birth

She didn't wear any boxing gloves, to win any fight

She left this world without pain, embraced by the light

In Heaven, there isn't any pain

You use your soul, and not your brain

She didn't lose a fight, in fact she won

Her Spiritual Journey, has only just begun

She won the fight, and the reward is the light

of Heaven. We feel she may have lost, because

we shall miss her here on Earth. But her pain

is over, and she is free of it. We should think of

a better way of saying it. “She won her fight

with cancer, and the reward is am eternal visit

to Heaven.” Now when I say that, it doesn't mean

she can't come down to visit us in her spirit form.

They do that often, for the soul connection to us

is Forever. And Love does last forever, when it is

embedded in the soul for an everlasting time.

The Homeless

 

The Homeless

I think about the homeless, wondering how they got that way

I'm feeling lucky to have a home, and shelter and clothing each day

When I lived in Washington, I was quite aware

On the underpass, they were sleeping there

We have homeless here, and it's really sad

The churches help them out, for that I am glad

On TV, I saw them living in boxes one time

We need to help them out, cross over that line

Give a helping hand, do our best to help them out

Doing the humane thing, is what life is all about

We have people from the border, finding jobs around here

While there are more homeless, in the USA each year

They don't have a home, food, or a place to live

It's surprising they don't get help, from a living relative

One thing that I wonder is, do they even feel loved

In a world that can be unfair, they've been pushed and shoved

Is it a choice that chooses them, or is it one they make

To be out on the street struggling, for goodness sake

I thank God for low income housing, without it I would be

Out there on the street with them, wondering how to feed me

Being homeless must be a scary thing. To have to think about

each day and wonder if there will be something to eat, a place

to stay. I am sure it is even scarier with the virus going around.

Before we even begin to help other countries, we need to help

those that are down and out right here in the good ole USA.
