SLOWED DOWN QUIET
So, we made it through the cold and snow, hopefully with all our collective fingers and toes.
Now warm winds push in for a bit, causing frigid temperatures to become a memory, albeit a frosty one. Have you ever noticed how quiet snow and cold make everything, though? Sometimes another world moves in, temporarily replacing fast and noisy with slow quiet. Usually, a body has no choice in the matter, nature makes your mind up for you. Think back on the world just past; did the universe decree a period to slow down in, you know, slow motion, silent thinking time quiet. Yea, you are back to work, all quick moving racket and speed. Take time to miss that slow, quiet; quite possibly, you’ll miss it.
SLOW QUIET
Had us a snow, cold weather too
Clogged up the roads, nothing to do
Left deep in my chair dodging cold
Thinks I to me, this is growing old
Here I sat, all invaded with quiet
Folks on their own, most scared to try it
Hop off awhile, the races fast flow
Enjoy scenery, quiet and slow.

I am writing number two in my series of marital discord blogs and poems.
Marital disharmony came to mind as I walked up the drive the other night.
Big game today, or every day for us patriots.
A short 55 years have passed since last I shot myself, seems like only yesterday.
I’ve always been a dog man, oh don’t get me wrong, cats are ok but they just aren’t loyal like a dog, so we had dogs.
A man in church with my wife listened to the sermon and remarked how he guessed we are all “second string angels.”
I’m full up on taking crap and keeping my mouth shut.
My fanciful love story, don’t you love this this time of year!
For some reason, I started thinking about a chicken in the hen-house.
My mind works in devious fashion sometimes, and this one came out at my wife’s request.
