More Than Enough to Do

More Than Enough to Do


Time has come to do the things that need being done

The gardens wet and untilled await my work

And the chickens must be moved to their summer grazing


There is so much that needs to be done

And the weather is not cooperative yet

It is warm and pleasant today

And we may have a tornado tomorrow


So much is left undone yet

No barn built, no pastures fenced in

No new coop, no hutch fixed

I am so far behind, no getting ahead


If only I had more of me to go around

One to fix the inside things

One to prettify the front yard

And at least one to tend the gardens


I would still be behind on too much

I would still not get to the grass out back

I would still not get to the shed clean outs

I would still have more than enough to do

Mimi's Drive In Diner

Went to Mimi's Drive In Diner in Fulton, NY today. Have been there several times in the past, so I know what to expect, not much. Like 99% of these dives, they are all the same, and why are they all the same, because they all buy from the same supplier Sysco. This is what gives them all the sameness, no matter where you go. The same fried chicken, the same meatloaf, the same burgers. Now all I have to ask is how the hell hard is this diner food to do, really. The reason every one of them is the same is because they are lazy, they don't want to source their own suppliers. That would be like work or something. Besides they have half wits for cooks, who would not know a butcher from a buccaneer. There is something to be said for sameness though. Every one of these dives should have the same stuff on their menus, that part is true. But really how hard is it to make a meatloaf. Let me explain that, you have chopped meat, bread crumbs, and egg. That's about it, well...

Another Jane

  Another Jane I am on the bus to nowhere And she slips in beside me Her lithe frame barely there Her dress is tattered and torn She tries to smile Her sadness remains No I don’t know her name Just another lost soul She gets off at the next stop Shuffles along the aisle The driver seems annoyed I step up and pay her fare I sit back in my seat Watching her disappear I think of her sometimes When I feel I’ve had enough When life gets me down When if seems a waste I think of her half smile The sadness contained Never seen her again Likely dead in some alleyway Buried in a potter's grave Another nameless Jane JD

If they are concerned, maybe we should be concerned. This is a big O can of WTF that is yet to be fully opened. I can at this time only say, wow, where did it all go, where did it go?
