The Witches Song

The Witches Song

© by Bud Lemire on Oct 17, 2019

It's Halloween, and the wind blows strong

If you listen closely, you'll hear the Witches song

They've put together a special brew

It'll do something bizarre to you

Don't drink it, don't drink it I say!

Heed my warning, and you'll be okay

Don't take a drink from a Witch

It's not Mountain Dew, she made a switch

She can make it hard to resist

It's even worse if you've been kissed

There's magic there, upon her lip

There's poison there, if you take a sip

She has no wand, and doesn't wiggle her nose

For it's hidden well, and she won't expose

Within her, lies such a wicked power

It's even stronger during the Witching Hour

She doesn't have a broom, she doesn't fly

That's just a myth, a man made lie

Listen closely, and don't take me wrong

Block your ears, from The Witches Song

You have been warned of The Witches Song.

You may be asking if they are a good witch or

a bad witch. On this Halloween, you will see

Witches of all sizes and shapes. They'll take

your candy and run, to the next house. If you

are careful, you may just have a Happy Halloween!

Orange, Yellow, & Red

Orange, Yellow, & Red

© by Bud Lemire on Oct 17, 2019

As the leaves fall upon its Earthly bed

They form the colors of Orange, yellow, and red

Multi-colored leaves upon the ground

A place where Autumn is found

I look for the changing colors everywhere

At certain times, it's just not there

In other places where I am lead

I see plenty of orange, yellow, and red

In some places it is in between

A little yellow mixed in with green

Some places turn red right away

So bright and beautiful on a sunny day

I believe it depends upon the tree

On which color their leaf will be

Some don't change colors at all

Their leaves don't even fall

Some places don't even see this season

Where they are located, is the reason

As the leaves fall upon its Earthly bed

They form the colors of Orange, Yellow, and Red

Those Autumn colors are so beautiful to see. I love it when

the season is at its peak and you can see so many colors

among the trees. But if you don't see them at just the right

time, the rain will come along with the wind and blow the

leaves right off of the tree.

Read Me

Read Me

© by Bud Lemire on Oct 10, 2019

Read me, read me like a book

Just go ahead, just take a look

Chapter by chapter, turn the page

You're the audience, and I'm on stage

What does my body say to you?

With every movement that I go through

What do you see in my eyes

With my body there are no lies

The way I hold my head

My response when words are said

How I move my hand around

Read me, and I won't make a sound

The way I dress may speak to you

Some thoughts on this, might come through

My reactions in a special activity

May be what you are reading from me

I'd like to know just what you see

When you are looking at me

Read me, just like a book

What do you see, when you look

Many people can look at people and read

the person. Know exactly their personality

and what they are like. Many who have lost

their hearing can do that as well. People who

are in tune, and are aware of everything pay

close attention and understand so much.

Your eyes, posture, hands, legs, position,

voice, clothes you wear, and so much more.

They know how to read you like a book.

Leader Of The Day

Leader Of The Day

I am the Leader Of The Day

But you don't have to do it my way

I can not tell you what to do

I will leave that up to you

I relay what's happening that day

From our bosses, is what I'll say

It keeps them from repeating every word

From only one person, you will have heard

It's passed from our boss, to the Leader Of The Day

I believe it really works out better that way

Being Leader, doesn't make you the boss

You're Little Joe, you can't be Hoss

So what's the agenda for today?

Will it be Bingo, or cards that we play?

Oh it is Cover Up, well if that's what you say

I'll listen to the boss, from The Leader Of The Day

I'll follow the Leader, that's what I'll do

The words from your mouth, must be true

You don't have to do it the same way

I'm only The Leader Of The Day

I wrote this with Senior Companion's Leader

of The Day in mind. But also wrote it for

everyone else as well. Being a leader is

appreciating the unique way each person

does things, no matter how they do it.

Accepting them for who they are, not for

what they aren't. Not many people do that.

And we need more of that in the world.

M&M

M&M

© by Bud Lemire on Oct 10, 2019

I got an M&M one day, from a friend

My current life I lived in, was about to end

I was going on a journey, far away

It was given to me, on this special day

It wasn't chocolate, it was to keep things cold

Changes in my life, were about to unfold

It was, to keep all my drinks cool

He never, took me for a fool

I was on an adventure, to a foreign place

I traveled alone, and faith is what I'd embrace

I used it, on my trip to Quebec in the year Two Thousand and One

When I returned, that adventure was over and done

I traveled West, and brought it along

It kept things cold, my heartbeat strong

To Washington State, to start anew

It didn't last, then my life there was through

I keep that M&M he gave to me, in the freezer every day

My friend who gave it to me, has since then passed away

Even though it was a cold gift to give

The thought keeps me warm, each day that I live

Thank you Bob (Miller)! I'm still using that M&M to keep

some things cold. Every time I do I think of the man who

had a warm heart and a thoughtful and caring soul. I'm

reminded that so many wonderful people come into our

lives and then leave it. Touching us with their presence,

and forever leaving a wonderful memory to cherish what

they gave to us. And I know, he is not far away, and watches

over me and helps to guide me from the Spirit World.

A DVD Is For Me

A DVD Is For Me

A DVD is for me

It's what I like to see

Binge watching brings me joy

I feel just like a little boy

Move forward or move back

Got to find the scene, the title track

That's where I left off before

Now I long for even more

A DVD looks a lot like a CD

But it plays videos that you can see

They look alike, but they're not

Be sure you know what you got

Closed Caption is for those who can not hear

It's make understanding the video, much more clear

Read the words, upon the screen

What is said, goes with what is seen

You can watch movies or shows from TV

That's the reason I love the DVD

I don't have Blue-Ray, I love my DVD

On the screen, it works perfectly for me

Sitting on my couch, watching my favorite show

Believe me, it's the only way to go

A great meal, and a good scene on my TV

Because I'm watching my DVD

One disc, two, three, four and five

It's great enjoyment, I feel alive

A series that I just love

It's all that I can think of

There's so much to watch on DVD

Choose the ones you want to see

A series that I really love

Is the one I'm thinking of

Unwrapped and all ready to play

My DVD is the truly the only way

Right from the store

Who could ask for more

No streaming video, no live TV

I'll just sit back and watch my DVD

You have to choose what's right for you

Maybe your choice will be a DVD too

Ever since we don't get streaming videos, I decided

to try DVDs as my way of watching TV. Yes, you are still

paying. But no matter which way you choose, you have

to pay something. It seems to be working for me. And you

have all those Bonus things included, that you don't see

on TV. Anyway this is my choice for now.

The Blue Screen

The Blue Screen

© by Bud Lemire on Sept 7, 2019

On the computer, so much can be seen

One thing you wish not to, is the Blue Screen

It means something inside, just isn't right

Maybe something is loose, and something isn't tight

Maybe the fan won't work, or something unknown

Whatever it is, it causes you to groan

The only friend in your home, has gone dead

Life goes on, nothing more can be said

Yet the thoughts pass by, and they pass through

And the screen isn't the only thing that is blue

Your life doesn't revolve around a computer, no need to worry so

Yet you are frustrated, lost, uneasy, and feeling low

Nothing lasts forever, and you did use it a lot

You must have posted thousands of pictures, no wonder its shot

It wasn't sitting there, doing nothing at all

Your fingers were busy, they were on the ball

Mr. Blue, why did you come onto my screen

I'd prefer the sunrise and sunset to be seen

But as long as you're here, and plan to stay

I'll replace you, because I can't go on this way

I got the blue screen and couldn't get it working again.

But I saved up and got myself a new computer. I am

working myself back to where I use to be before the

Blue screen came into my life. It is like life. We meet

many people in our lives, who come along and touch us.

Then they pass away. The memories will always be there.

And now I can make new memories to look back on. It isn't

the end of our world, our lives go on.
