Got time now to make a rhyme, And offer it up so sublime. Home from work and in for the night, With lots of time to properly write.
I'm sitting here in front of fire, My need to write a burning desire. My belly is full and all nice and bloated. To the rhythm of the rhyme, I am devoted.
I'll write some more from when 2old I hear, But in the meantime, I'll drink me a beer. A roll of the dice, the die has been cast, For I beat yunz all out and now I'm the last.

Read your prose before going to bed. The hour was late and tired was my head. Will it be better as the new day does dawn? Or, will today's verse bring forth a yawn?
Was "carpentering", yesterday, and my mind was numb. Made it through, though, without hitting my thumb. Getting too old to hammer, saw, and drill Since this old body is... definitely... over the hill!
Working, though, breaks the boredom and keeps me alert Even though the healing would take longer if I ever got hurt. I don't plan on climbing ladders and taking a fall The projects in front of me are on the ground... all.
Lots of electrical wiring and piping to do, yet. Have material to purchase before I'm all set. Donating my time, but my wife thinks I'm a louse Since I won't spend that time working, here, at our house!
She isn't really mad or exceptionally upset For there is a positive in this for her... you bet! As I leave in my truck, she is giggling with glee. Finally! Time alone she doesn't have to put up with me!
I must keep active, keep the body and brain working fine. Can't spend time in my chair, lay back and recline. Can't let this body atrophy, rot away so very fast As I'm destined to be strong and be the FIRST TO POST LAST!

Had to go on out today, For an oil change I had to pay. It's not for me but for my truck, The guy that did it his name was Chuck.
Then on and out with errands to run. Some of them weren't really fun. With bills to pay and taxes due, It left me holding dollars few.
But friends I saw and went to see, They were quite glad and shouted glee. We sat and talked and talked some more, That I almost forgot to stop at drugstore.
I take pills for this, pills for that and pills for the other. If it's not one galldarned thing, it's definitely another. They keep me going and that counts the most, So I can be the first to be the last to post.

I HATE the Winter season For which I have good reason! Snow and cold weather keeps me in the house to stay. With the fairways and greens covered in white, there's no golf to play!
Spending daylight in a recliner makes me so mad... and grouchy and ultimately sad. Tough to even wrap up and go for a walk And my wife to a grump, wisely, won't talk.
The day has been spent on the phone calling around Troubles with a chlorination system abound. The State folks were so very nice and polite Told me who to talk to about setting things right.
Relief that one job that I have is about to an end With the reward of making a new friend. It's amazing how I find it so easy in a world gone astray To find such good people down the street or across the way.
We dwell on the bad in politics and society and such What we see as news doesn't emphasize the good all that much. Instead they should focus on the blessings that we have here When so many in this world live in constant fear.
And, one of the blessings I have, you bet Are the folks on 'takerefugefreeforums.net'!!! You are a group of good people that, sometimes, leave me aghast That you won't just surrender and allow me to be the first to post last!!

The snow will come and the snow will go, Then off to hit golf balls and win some dough. The fairway all clear and nicely mowed, Just watch out! Don't step on the toad.
I had a great day and didn't do much, Just puttered away with odd jobs and such. I listened to the news and it was really depressing, Then talked about dinner tomorrow. Chili I'm guessing.
I can't wait for spring to open my shed, Right now I can only dream when I go to bed. To pull out the mowers and pruners and stuff, I like cutting grass but never in the buff.
Because my wee willy winkie a bee might it sting, Then maybe to the doc's to have it put in a sling. I know that he'll laugh and call me a putz, Laughing so hard that he'll hurt all his guts.
But this won't happen 'cause I'll never let it, I'll wear pants made of leather. They'll be double knit. At least here on the 'net I know I'll be safe. Boy! Those leather pants are starting to chafe.
Sitting here in front of the fire, On cold winter days it's warmth I desire. But as I said earlier that spring is soon coming, I'm now posting last and my keyboard is humming.

My friend says he wears leather pants that are "double knit". Trying to knit with leather thread would give knitters a fit! Should he actually have double knit leather jeans Please send me a picture by any means!
Now please understand the photo should include only the clothes Certainly not the wee willie he speaks of in his prose! My supper is not yet settled and close is no pail In which to upchuck should he forward a likeness of what makes him a male.
I'm trying so hard to put images of a chaffed 'willie' out of my mind And hoping to be able to sleep, and let my brain unwind. Tomorrow is supposed to be frigid, another cold day Will be left without having the opportunity for golf to play.
And so much to do, my schedule is full... even overflowing I'm supposed to be retired and my workload slowing. Seems the volunteer work continues to grow with each day While the wages remain the same... "volunteer", no pay!!
But that's okay if it keeps the mind busy and ever thinking ahead Hopefully erasing any memory of a chaffed wee willie from my head!!! I just hope he doesn't scoot closer to his nice warm fire, you see 'Cause if he gets to close to the fire the "wee", "wee'er" will be!
We need all the good people here to be in good health To enjoy each day and, hopefully, gain a degree of wealth For we need each of you reading and watching as the days fly past Watching, you see, to witness as I am the first to post last!

Do not worry my good forum friend, They'll be no pictures of my great 'end'. Moving on now it's so plain to see, That the last to post first will surely be me.
If it's too cold to golf then it's too cold to mow. I cannot wait for the winter to go. I crave the outdoors and all that it offers, Snow makes me no money to pad my fat coffers.
There's prose to write and prose to read, Another chapter in the novel is what we need. With zombies here and vampires there, I hope that poor Barbara doesn't mess up her hair.
The novel has taken an extraordinary turn, And Barbara at the stake I hope they don't burn. She needs to live on 'til the end of the book, And if she is lucky, she'll meet Captain Hook.
But that is a horse of a vast different color, 'Cause he is my brother from a way different mother. So no need to fret 'cause I'm still the same, I'm first to be last again in this here game.

Numb, numb, numb are my fingers from typing... for Goodness Sake! Dumb, dumb, dumb the valuable time these verses take! Where, where, where is my simple common sense? When, when, when will I stop being so tense?
You see, I see, we see it is a totally enjoyable fuss. You have, I have, we have each probably been called an old cuss. People here, people there, people everywhere are welcome to join Your, mine, and our attempts at astounding verse to coin.
I cannot, will not, am not ready to spend effort and time. The body, the mind, the spirit are too tired to make some more rhyme. It's not, it wasn't, and it won't be due to too early rising any given day I believe, I know, I am certain the lack of a good nap is making me pay!
You see, I see, everyone sees that as one retires and grows old You, they, and I are apt to grow grouchy and grumpy, we're told. How, why, or if it happens doesn't lend any good reason Summer, Winter, Fall... doesn't matter ever what season.
Most, all, everything I have learned to this day Will, shall, could be that there is a penalty to pay For, since, because the act of adding years seems our endurance to zap Yesterday, today, tomorrow I simply cannot survive without a nap!
Bye, bye "Verse Man" Hello, Mr. Sandman Have your fun while I am nodding off in my chair 'Cause when it comes to being first to post last... I WILL BE THERE!

My laundry's all done and so is the day, Which gives me some time to come here and play. I'll play with my friend that guy who's "2old", Who thinks he is last from what I've been told.
He needs a nap 'cause his fingers are tired. If I slept on my job I'd surely be fired. So take you a nap, a well deserved rest, You'll need all of your strength to be at your best.
My fingers also and they too are getting old, Uncle Arthur was here and has long taken hold. But that doesn't stop me from posting my wit, 'Cause I endeavor to be last so I just won't ever quit.

Heading to a meeting Afraid it's going be a beating Personnel issues Bring out the tissues.
Today's work ethic stinks Seems everyone today thinks Their cell phone is a more important device Than doing their job that pays so very nice!
One reason I waited so long to be retired Was to work with youth so they could be hired Supporting families, paying for food And hopefully be rewarded for doing good.
Still so many don't understand The importance of being a good hand That makes their job and important part of their life To have money, pay bills, and little strife.
We'll deal with this one like those before We'll talk and give another chance as we implore That the work habits must be improved... and more Or, don't let your backside get hit as you exit the door!
Enough of what keeps me busy in my spare time Just trying to still help these kids to climb Up the ladder of success... and climb fast So, one day, maybe they can play games like being first to post last!

A meeting of minds can be so productive, And the promise of money can be too seductive. The personal issues of that you did spoke, I hope that the tears they did not invoke.
I agree about the morals and ethics of some, And if they don't change, they're gonna be bums. You can talk all you want 'til blue in the face, A lot of those kids will never enter the race.
They walk around saying that they want it all, But when they have to work, that's when they bawl. To bad, so sad is not the life for me, But posting here last is the preferred for thee.

Meeting went well, our message was heard. The gentleman showed regret and we believe the issue cured. We hope he is committed to be a better employee As he has a wife and a young child, you see.
Some have been raised with ethics and integrity. Others have to learn those attributes are key To being a valued and important employee. This young man has promised he will work hard, that to be.
Now back to business and the hard work of a day. Now back to writing in rhyme some things I must say. Such rhyming is difficult, hard, dirty... but could bring fame As I am recognized the winner of the 'First To Post Last' game!!
