Skimming stones is easy
When you have the time
Perfecting how to throw them
While checking their design
The flatter shape is better
And always comes out best
The ones that seem so lumpy
Are the ones that you reject
But there’s really a big problem
Once you’ve thrown your stone
It may skip about quite nicely
And then the magic blown
For a stone it is not buoyant
And quickly sinks away
So you resume the searching
For more stones to throw today
It’s such a thoughtful pastime
And worries fade from view
While choosing stones for pitching
In a time that belongs to you
We all have faults and one of mine is sometimes I snore quiet loudly and despite putting a breathe right plaster on which doesn’t really seem to help. I still snore..
Snoring
Oh yes I’ve been caught snoring
a thing I do quite well
but to those who have to listen
it’s like a living hell
for the noise it sends a shiver
to those who want to sleep
as from underneath their pillow
they feel they want to weep
but really I can’t hear it
so to me my sleep is fine
and if sometimes I snore loudly
it’s how I’ve been designed.
Remembering
How well that I remember
When old was all brand new
As nothing in the future
To me will ring as true
The youth that’s all behind me
Is written as if in stone
As I sit here just reflecting
Like a dog that’s found a bone
The times when I was learning
Have stayed right in the past
And only life’s sweet memories
Are the things that seem to last
They say that every journey
Will stand the test of time
As I move forever forward
Down a path I’ve made as mine
