A trace of snow, last night, made things beautiful in our town. People don't understand winter driving and they don't want to slow down! Twelve car pile up west of here ruined many a morning smile. The interstate to the south was closed and traffic diverted for a while.
I may have been better off staying home and in my chair. Instead I had a place to go and knew I was needed there! The golf course coffee shop would be open and the gossip would be flowing. Into my truck and on the streets, nothing would keep me from going.
That group of geezers who meet each day whether weather is good or bad Discuss things from around the community, local politicians who make us mad! We are able to suggest ways to fix all the problems the world suffers through today. Trouble is, no one wants to listen to us and use our ideas... the things that we say.
The arguments between us can get intense when we differ on the opinions we hold dear. If people would hear us talking "smack" to each other they would have their phone very near. Some say we "fight like sisters" and they fear 911 might need to be called in an emergency. Yes! We can get pretty riled up, arguing with great intensity.
Then we laugh and slap each other on the back, shaking off any of the debate We're all friends and will remain so, whether playing or heading out of the gate. We may disagree on a certain item and vent till our face is burning red Then we can put it aside and go play golf, not offended by what was just said.
Why can't more folks sit down and discuss what troubles them in society today And find some middle ground... some cooperation... and then go each other's way? Even though us old geezers can't do what's needed to solve everything wrong We can argue and debate and try to find a middle ground and still get along.
The difference between our morning coffee and posting on this thread Is pretty simple when you consider it all in the confines of your head. There will be no agreeing, here, to get along and to let others outlast Me... the invincible one... I will always be the one to post last!!!

My feelings are hurt, I'm depressed, a lady wants my face to poke If, by chance, I happen to tell her a really, really bad joke. So, I must be careful and good jokes to tell, I must try Or next week it sounds like I could be suffering a very black eye!!
Please! Please calm down, weezer my friend! Just because I tell a bad joke, the world will not come to an end. How do we tell a joke that will make you laugh this time? How do we tell a joke where all the sentences do rhyme?
Nose, nose, where did you get that shiny red nose? Maybe from tripping Jill as she ran up the hill, I suppose. For your foot had her cartwheel and strike a pose As she inspected the ugly run in her hose.
Now, that was an exceptionally bad joke I must say I now know I have a slap in the face coming my way. My only relief after typing something that bad Is weezer's distance away makes me, today, very glad!!
TheSource keeps appearing here, then disappearing for a long time. That leaves me all alone with Dusty and weezer with which to rhyme. We need to keep the numbers even between the girls and the boys Or, if continued threats on my safety arrive I'm leaving with my toys.
I'll just sit here pouting and listening to the dog chew her bone Hoping that weezer doesn't call and make threats to me on my cell phone. Should I call 911 and file a complaint with the police for the threat? Should I be fearful of her attacking me while in my recliner my fanny is set?
What she will probably do, and I would if I were in her place Is to call my lovely wife and ask her to give me a slap on the face! There are days, I will guarantee, my darling wife would quickly accomodate weezer's wish to whop me one, my wife's own anger to sate!!
Nah! Both wife and weezer are both really good folk and I appreciate both of the ladies so sweet. I still would like someday before leaving this earth, the lady weezer to have a chance to meet. In the meantime, I will just keep rhyming and joking to while away the day. Understanding that I am last to post and that is all I have to say!!!!

I knew a priest, once, a man of the cloth he was. Around the community, his name was a buzz. Now, this priest had a dual degree... theology and the Law. Everyone in town referred to him as their "Father-in-Law"!!!
Elected to a judgeship, in his 70th year. His failing mind was something each and every parishioner did fear. Took his gavel to church one day when he was to baptize a baby it was said. Had the gavel in his hand when he crossed the baby and hit the poor thing in the head.
We had heard stories about the nuns at the parochial school rapping students with a rule of wood. Grabbing them by the collar and taking them to a classroom corner and that is where they stood. "Father-in-Law" substituted teaching one fine day when his mind was in a haze. Caught a student chewing gum and sentenced him to 30 days!
The student begged for mercy from the court, but the judge did not relent So the student tried to convince the judge his chewing gum was 'Heaven sent'! The priest opened the Holy Book to see if the Rule of Law could be bent. He accidently passed some Holy Gas which, honestly, did not have a "Heavenly scent"!!
The classroom had to be cleared of students, the odor was so unbreathable and strong. A meeting of the Church Council was held, seeking to right the wrong. Once the school was fumigated and the students could return to their desks and their books The "Father-in-Law" was never allowed to teach again so he spent the rest of his days judging crooks.
Now, I am no man of the cloth, but please believe everything I say happened that way. You know that I would never stretch the truth and truth is behind all I say. Well, maybe I might spin a slight yarn once in a while just to keep a smile on your face. Just remember that I am first to post last and will always be and will win this year's race!!!

Ho, ho and Ha Hah ha,, 2old ..a funny you did make again you could win the writers prize and make not making a mistake ! you again will be walking home with a beautiful winners winning Cake!!
you never told me how long this Rhyming thing has been going on, unless you did and my old aged mind just cannot find the right words to Rhyme!
I did not watch the Super Bowl last night, they said the half time show was a real fright Jaylo shaking her booty along with her young daughter also doing the same thing right by her side with ease. wearing only see through pants shaking there big Booties.
Do we really need that kind of half-time show? what happened to just a well known old country band ! Playing their gee-tars to the tunes of the good old USA and the stars and strips instead stars and strips !!
well thats all i have to say, but this is not just another day of saying im last to post in some other kind of way,,
its just me, weezer passing by and is only a wink in your eye.. and LAST ONE TO POST!! nuk! Nuk! and Good bye bye bye..

weezer, you ask when I started to rhyme. January 2, 2019 seems to me the very first time. Drifter had begun this game the first day of that year And formerlyme followed with a short rhyme, it does appear.
Not to be bested, with a rhyme I saw post on the thread. The rhymes just seemed to begim jumping from my head. I cannot explain where the words come from that I post Just seems easy to do as along this thread I do coast.
It's been sorta enjoyable, some might call it therapy today As I keep rhyming and typing away. Sometimes the stories are ones that I hope bring a smile. Sometimes the rhymes don't follow proper prose in their style.
The energy expended posting rhymes, if I must say Hopefully keeps my old brain from going dormant and rotting away. It makes me think as I type, hoping not to offend. That is a message to some people I would like to send.
Think before you type and think before you speak, my friend. Life would be so much better if thoughtless words came to an end. Would be good if people would speak only positive words and thoughts, today. I can't imagine that happening, society has gone too far astray.
We cannot change others who are set in their ways, even if with them we do not agree. The only one I can change... The only one I have control over is, yes, little ol' me! I need to try harder to be kinder and more considerate to the people with which I interact. Honestly, though, I work hard to be kind to others and that is a fact!!
Enough, now, of sermonizing and going on a rant... letting off steam. There is just one parable I would pass on... just ONE it would seem. Never count out an old geezer if you want to compete in a test! You must know by now, at being first to post last... 2old is BEST!!

yes, 2old you are the best. and you certainly have put me to the test i look to the east and to the west and whatever pops into my head still comes out no less any better,i guess..
so for only a year now is what you confess? but how did you become the very best? your must know your dictionary more then me That book always sits by my side and helps me to find the words that i lack to come up with in my mind!
So Formalyme might be the lady i must see? to help make become the best poet in history! Only kidding of course. there is no other then you 2old, who treats me like a brother!
well time is short and i must make a report its a weather report of a sort, we are in for more rain and possibly strong winds that could easily blow down our little wooden fort, so i will just say a few word of adieu . im the last one to post, and i do not feel sorry for any of you! nuk! nuk!

Do we have to rhyme? It would save a lot time. But then you wouldn't think, And that would really stink.
To me to not be thinking, Is like a ship that's sinking. And like the Captain there, I'm last! I do declare!

Yes, TheSource, I don't have the time To any longer rhyme! My mind is all muddled, I'm so old If I may be so bold.
It wears on me and, I suppose, This is the end to my typing prose. As you can see, as you read my post The ability to rhyme, I no longer host!
I'm over the hill and sliding down the back side I've ridden much farther than I have left to enjoy the ride. It's important that I just post something that does not rhyme Since, as you can see, I'm as silent as a mime!
On second thought, I thought, you thought the ship was sinking fast. We know... I know you know that I will be posting last! And, my rhyme... the rhyme... a old mind's rhyme Will be perfect... fantastic... terrific... sublime!
I only wish I could still find words that sound the same So I could continue to garner poetry fame. It's gone! It's disappeared! The rhyming words no longer spring From my mind and prose I can no longer bring.
So, you will just need to accept... by witnessing this attempt to rhyme that has failed To continue with my prose and the work entailed. It just ain't happening and I really don't understand why not. I'm actually trying with all the energy I've got.
Please accept my apology for not finding words from which to make a poem. I'll just take all my toys and go on home! Whoa! Wait a minute! I just reread the dissertation above and found That rhyming words ending the lines do abound!
Shucks! I tried to just explain my depressed state with simple statements of fact. There was no intention at TheSource's above post to react. The fingers just don't seem to be able to post to the thread and not make a rhyme Making certain that my prose will continue since I will be first to post last every time!!!!

Who else would like to stop the Rhyme? Just when i'm doing my best to learn to Rhyme most of the time! To you , the Source , i'd like to say rumors have it that you started the whole thing anyway! And now im right in the prime of training my mind to try to Rhyme all the time. Until you demand we stop this Rhyme i will do it all the time! Obviously it sounds to me that your a young sprout , You do not understand what rhyming is really all about! but you are the assistant administrator and also a 5 star General !! im not happy with your request but i will gladly bow out.. by the way, im the last to post here on this game for the last time!!!!

weezer!!! Don't you dare stop rhyming and stretching your mind! I'm not stopping, even if demanded by someone who is defined As a 5-star General on a forum to which we subscribe. If necessary, this high ranking officer we might need to bribe!
Should TheSource demand our rhyming come to an end I will rebel and continue, my friend! I'm too old to have patience with these youngsters, I must say. We'll just do as we want and continue rhyming on our way!
It would seem I am insolent, not a respecter of rank. Some might believe I'm just an old crank! But I would suspect TheSource will continue to post in this contest Rhyming away and hoping he is considered the best.
Our group on the golf course trash talk and some would think we are enemies. They hear us chiding each other between our sneeze and our wheeze. One would assume TheSource meant no harm to our continuing prose. If he doesn't want to rhyme, you and I can continue, I suppose.
So, TheSource, we hear you and understand what you say. Go get a good night's sleep and come back this game to play. 'Cause weezer and Dusty and other TRF members will keep posting on this thread. And, right now I am first to post last, leaving you standing there scratching your head!!!

My post was not a request, But a thought I made in jest. I do enjoy the rhyme, And do it all the time.
I understand quite clearly, About the rhythm rhyme so dearly. And if there's one to boast, It's "ME", the last one here to post!

At TheSource's avatar I could sit and stare Watching the poor kitty running but going nowhere. Through my life, I have experienced many days just like that Where no matter how hard I try, my efforts have fallen flat.
Few people I know, if the truth were to be told Would be able to make statements so very bold Suggesting they have never had one of those days When they can't escape that treadmill like haze.
Would another cat climb a ladder to the top of the slide Zipping downward and with the little kitten collide. The kitten would be knocked off the slide to solid ground below He would get traction and off he would go.
So many people when caught on one of life's merry-go-rounds Going nowhere and uttering exasperated sounds. Sometimes it takes another person or an event to give them a bump To challenge them so they can get over the hump.
Often the challenger, the person or event that gets us going again Is difficult to accept and we don't immediately understand defeat can really be a win. It can seem easier to just be at the bottom of the slide, going nowhere. Than to be shocked into reality by someone who really does care.
There I am, trying to solve humanity's problems at 6 a.m. in the morning. Why do these thoughts and words flow without any warning? The answer to such a question may never be told So, I guess I'll just go play golf out in the very frigid cold.
Talk about standing on that treadmill and, seemingly, just marking time. On one hand I'd be more comfortable sitting here just making a rhyme Than freezing my buttocks off while chasing a little white ball. I could sit in my recliner, nice and warm, never feeling chilly at all.
Instead I will bundle up, donning so many clothes it hampers my golf swing. I will meet the other geezers who, like me, will go chase that little white thing. Up and down the fairways, trash talking, and telling jokes we've heard before And look forward to the next day when we can play a useless game once more.
But, we don't consider playing this Game of Golf the same as the kitten on the slide. This, to us, is not sitting on a carousal going round and round for a ride. It's a way to get us out of our recliners and have a purpose... a reason to stay active and alive. Instead of sitting, worrying about our health we go play a game on which we all thrive.
Not too much different than this competition where we let the rhyming words flow. This keeps the brain active and allows each of us to brag and to crow! Just remember that when 2020 comes to an end and the trophy handed to a person of renown It will be me... just ME... the winner who will be awarded the crown!!!!

A five star General ? can that be true? I would request to see his medals all red and white and blue.. Oh my gosh ,you would think he would of given me a weeks work of peeling potatoes and serving it to the crew !
im so sorry dear General for i knew not what i was saying as you know. we are here to only be playing..
But as i re-read what i had said , im very embarrassed now as to what thoughts came from my head.!
If your prerogative is to toss me in the brig, or even call me a pig i feel i deserve whatever, you may even want to shoot me dead..
i exaggerate of course and hope that the source is laughing from the top of his high horse.
im still in the early stages of rhyming and taking lessons from dear 2Old .... with him i never try to scold after all he is too old like me and i do not want not to go down in History not having left his legacy empty inside of me..
He does not realize how dear he is He brings me up when i feel down. im sure every citizen feels the same in his home town they surely love this man whenever he comes around..
A man who is loved by all and all who know him knows he is the best! He is a man of a lot of interest, i only wish someday he would send his poems to his newspaper there certainly would not be one soul who would protest!
Seeing this mans hilarious poems in every Monday mornings newspaper And laying on every businessman's front desk.
Eager to read 2Olds morning laughs before they have to work with their very ornery staff..
well i had intended this to be short and sweet maybe i should of just sent out one of those Trump tweet!
Thank you too old , your were very bold to say what you did.. i thank you very much for all you had said
And to the Source, of course , im embarrassed that i blew up instead so im saying ok, i will go ahead and carry on, and keep on straining my brain for the rhymes to come quickly to my head..
now at last , at last , at Last! just like in the past im the last one here to honestly say,, Last at LAST!!
