Too much baggage

Do you have baggage

Something your regret

A terrible thing

You’ll never forget

Heavy baggage

Or baggage that’s light

But when it’s carried

You don’t feel right

A secret you can’t tell

To a spouse or friend

Because your actions

You cannot defend

You’re weighted down

With this burden you carry

When you think about it

It’s kind of scary

If this baggage gets lost

Be glad that it’s gone

And happier you’ll be

Not to take it along

Entertainers

Frank Sinatra

A Philly guy

Whenever he sang

He made the girls cry

Elvis Presley

His hips would swing

No one had ever

Seen such a thing

The Beatles Invasion

No guns, just songs

Causing an uproar

Among the throngs

Michael Jackson

Did the moon walk

His personal life

Created much talk

Madonna came

Breaking the ice

It was okay for women

To be naughty and nice

Entertainers

We’ve come to adore

Many of whom

Are with us no more

Recycle

Recycle our clothes

Give to the poor

Recycle our cans

Return to the store

Recycle the food

The stores discard

Putting in dumpsters

In their backyard

Recycle our pets

In shelters they live

While you’re missing out

On the love they give

Recycle belongings
At your garage sale
If you keep prices low
You cannot fail

Pollution

We’re polluting the air

We’re polluting the seas

The ground where we walk

And even the trees

We use plastic bottles

To take a drink

When once we used

The kitchen sink

And all of these bottles

Will never decay

Buried in landfills

Quite far away

Paper or plastic

No more can we choose

It’s plastic bags

That can’t be reused

Those baby diapers

Just throw them away

Most don’t use cloth

Much money they’ll pay

Pills you’re not using

Don’t throw down the sink

Not good for the fish

Is this mixed drink

And global warming

Is here to stay

The icebergs are melting

Day after day

Yesterday, today and tomorrow - a tribute to Robin Williams

A tribute to Robin Williams who took his own life in August 2014

Yesterday a superstar

A funny man you played

You also starred in serious roles

Many talents you displayed

Was everyone unaware

Of depression you endured

The drinking and the drugs you took

Should not have been ignored

Another day you could not live

You were in so much pain

Deciding you must hang yourself

And now who is to blame

So many people were in shock

Surprised at what you’ve done

All that remains are memories

And all the hearts you’ve won

My Computer Guy

Whenever I need help

I call my computer guy

He’s reliable and honest

And busy this is why

Your computer gets a virus

Or it’s running way too slow

Your printer isn’t working

And to fix it, you don’t know

In fact, he even lives with me

But if I do implore

That if l have a problem

I don’t pay, so he’ll ignore

Accountant for the Government

I’d hate to be an accountant

For the Federal Government

And having to keep track

Of all the money that’s spent

Billions of dollars’ given

To aid in disaster relief

Rebuilding all the homes

Destroyed beyond belief

And millions of dollars spent

To keep the banks from failing

From making bad investments

Their customers were ailing

Millions of dollars’ given

To help other countries in need

But not enough dollars spent

On our people to house and feed

And military spending

Is always out of sight
To countries far away
Our troops will have to fight

Their budget isn't balanced
And the deficit is high
But they'll collect our taxes
Until the day we die
