You are on a roll
Around the rock, at least.
Go and have a stroll
After the noontime feast!

@laraby

You have substance.
You have won!
Next week a new chance.
Hope you'll have fun.

Noon has now passed.
The game is on TV.
Come and sit beside me,
And we will have a blast.

Wise Judgement?

The judge had a voice like gravel
And relied for control on his gavel.
He banged it a lot on the very same spot
I fear soon his bench will unravel.

This morning's dawn was to the "right" as I drove east to buy Sunday donuts. It was bright in the clear, cool morning sky, but it was not directly ahead of me on the east-west avenue. My squint was less acute.

In New England, the dawn has moved south as the Earth's tilt gradually makes the season's shift toward the winter solstice.

Soon the leaves will turn and fall.

@dogtrax

As it happens, I am a big fan of crows.😎

@bixardune

It might be you lack a *belief* system in working order.

If MLB pitchers were held to the same standards as NFL place kickers, most would be looking for a new profession.

Just how does a professional pitcher lose control enough to hit a batter?

Not that I think I could throw a ball all the way to home plate myself!

@dogtrax

So now I'm an old crow, eh!

Caw!

@rixx

It is always wise to choose to upset grammarians.

They are easy targets and have become inured to complaints.

They, their and the like will probably prevail. Just look how bring has almost universally replaced take. "Bring this to the office," said the English teacher.

Some of us notice, but will NOT jump in with a correction.

@joshmillard @nobody

Then again, I never enjoyed opera very much.

@dogtrax

Real life is the stuff
From which poems arise.
Slippery, smooth or rough
Try them all on for size.

Thank you for letting us see the classroom so clearly. Sometimes I miss it. Then again, I like retirement, too.
