There was a young man from College Station.
He was observing a Lemming migration.
The entire herd met its demise.
But it comes as no surprise.
The critters don’t use an app for navigation.

Transformation by Necessity
Today as I entered these portals,
Gone was the rhythm of life.
I slowly walked in silence;
Unsettled by a personal strife.
The quietness, though easy on the ear,
Evokes contention in my heart.
The silence speaks of a void,
Exposing the missing part.
What is missing is the spirit of humanity;
The vitality, the emotions, the care.
What the soul creates within itself,
Is does with the need to share.
Gone are my colleagues, away are my friends,
Absent are those I assist.
To whom shall I give, from whom shall I receive?
Without others, how can I exist?
Change is taking place all around.
Its impact is quite easy to see.
However, the most far-ranging and difficult change,
Is the one to occur in me.
My soul longs for what was familiar.
I writhe against this reality so strange.
I want to fight the battle and declare,
“I’m the victor, there’ll be no change!”
As those final words echoed through my mind,
I realized the folly of my quest.
With a change of heart I uttered this prayer,
“Lord please do for all what is best.”
Note: Inspired by the lockdown/quarantine in 2020.

Remember Quarantine ? 😷
There was a good man from Kent.
He fell two months behind on his rent.
“My commitments, I wish not to shirk.
But I have to stay home and can’t work.
My money and my patience are spent.”

lf I only had pants
Said the Mother Aardvark to her adoles-ant son.
“Why so fidgety? Got ants in your pants?”
“How I wish” replied the lad.

Ant if that wasn’t enough!
An Aardvark and an Ant walk up to a bar. The bouncer immediately stops them.
He addresses the Ant, saying “Dogs aren’t allowed in here.”
The Ant replies, “My friend is an Aardvark, not a dog.”
A bit perplexed the bouncer says to the Aardvark, “Now that I have a closer look at you I can see you aren’t a dog. Your snout is too long. But tell me, why are you going around with an Ant?”
The Aardvark replies, “He goes everywhere with me. He’s my serv-ant.”
The bouncer quips, “I find that hard to believe; what’s that make me?”
“Ignor-ant” chime the Aardvark and Ant in unison.

Daylight Savings
I went to visit Sunbank, just the other night.
Going to see my assets, my account of saved daylight.
The teller, she informed me, “You have a zero amount.”
The daylight I was saving was not in my account.
“This is a great dilemma, what a terrible plight!
Then said the teller, “Open a new account to get a free flashlight.”

I Don’t Understand, I Think
Considering a choice, the man stood fanding.
Frustration and impatience, expanding.
Can you not choose?
Do the facts you confuse?
Oh, no I have a ‘clear’ misunderstanding.

Got Change?
I decided to change the world, making improvements of every kind.
I made a plan, I worked real hard, per the schedule I was way behind.
As time went on, nothing changed, things were as they were before.
I racked my brains, I queried A.I., there was nothing I could do more.
Then I realized there was one matter, not included in the plan.
Many things I can’t influence, but this one I certainly can.
So, I adjusted my aspirations, as my lofty goals began to unwind.
Instead of changing the world, I think I’ll change my mind.
