It rained today!

It rained yesterday!
What a welcome thunderstorm
The raindrops splattering on the concrete driveway
The skies all dark and fearsome

I never thought I'd be this happy about rain
But this present dryness had gone on for long enough
All that heat and humidity and no drops of rain
It just made everything look so dry and rough!

So right now I do know it's time
To welcome the rain, today and every day!
I definitely know I won't be singing the nursery rhyme
'Rain, rain, go away!'

What would you do?

It's 9:40pm at night.

It's not pitch dark yet, but getting there.

It is a decent area of town.

You are just leaving a popular restaurant, located in a busy strip mall.

You have just had a lovely dinner with your partner and children.

There are still lots of people about and lots of restaurants still open.

You get into your car - you and your partner in front and your children in the back.

A male stranger flags you down in the parking lot.

He says 'Hello. I am not asking for money or anything, but my car is parked over there and it won't start. I need to get to a gas station to get some help. Would you mind dropping me there?'


What would you do?

A blog is your stage..

In this new world of blogging
I sometimes ask myself why I go blog surfing
Could it be the news
Or the unique expression of views?
Maybe it's the sheer excitement
Of just being on the Internet!

I take my blog surfing rather seriously
On a daily basis, I check them assiduously
Even though I visit most blogs anonymously
My curiousity pushes me to visit religiously
Whilst I don't know many of these bloggers amorously
I'm sure I'd get on with some, famously!

Some bloggers have a specific niche in blogging
I'm afraid that niche is the one thing I'm still seeking
A blog is your stage to say what you're feeling
And that's exactly what I do each day, through my writing
So, if you feel you have loads to say and no-one is listening
Go ahead, start a blog, it gives you a new awakening!

Some blogs are really great
And others, not so up-to-date
Some I really hate
Others I think I was led to, by fate
But there's always one constant recurring trait
On the Internet, there's a blog for every palate!

Happy 4th of July, America!

Dance with my Father

I guess I should have posted this on Father's Day. Hope you enjoy it.
Have a great weekend.

Holiday weekend!

It's another holiday weekend
Something to look forward to
What have you got planned
Friends, fun and a barbeque?

You've probably had a busy week
And are looking forward to your rest
Make sure you get what you seek
Go! Make this weekend your best

No need to splurge, just have some cake
You can celebrate, even with limited revenue
Whatever you do, for goodness sake
Just make sure it's got a tinge of Red, White and Blue!

Happy Canada Day!
