At Bottom

They brought some new stock in today,
And dumped it on my head!
“You have to rotate stock, you know!”
Was what I should have said.

Instead I suffered silently,
I’ve done that far too long.
One needs to speak up fervently,
When something’s clearly wrong!

It’s such a simple job, I thought,
I’ll get a chance to shine!
The other apples all around,
I think would rather whine.

They've clearly lost ambition,
Can’t do the simplest task.
Just suck it up and hold it in,
Is that too much to ask?

I guess a case of attitude,
Is what I now have gotten,
From too much pressure felt too long.
Boy, do I feel rotten.

Also, since you mentioned that it is Aunt and Uncle's day ... from last year...


Aunt And Uncle's Day

Avuncular is a clumsy word, to describe a lovely love,
That of an aunt or uncle for a brother, children of.
Or children of your sister, in-law or brother-in-law.
Heck, why draw the line? With kids I stand in awe!

They are the very essence, of what love is about.
The rest of us just whisper it, they have the nerve to shout!
A child is not afraid to love, I guess they’re closer to,
The source of love for all of us, that Heaven sends to you.

If you’re an aunt or uncle, give your nephew or your niece,
A bit of love from Uncle Bob, make sure they get a piece.
I don’t mind sending out a lot, it comes back multiplied.
I’ve gotten more back than I sent, each time that it was tried.

"Take your plants for a walk day" LOL.. That will certainly get people ranting and raving. Do you have a little red wagon? Had an elderly neighbor who would walk her cats in a wagon. Made you laugh.

Hi Tulip.

Take Your Plants For A Walk Day

How do you do that? I wouldn't want people thinking that I'm crazy or something, lol.

Above are pictures of the Korean War Veterans Memorial. From 1950 to 1953, the United States joined with United Nations forces in Korea to take a stand against what was deemed a threat to democratic nations worldwide. The Korean War Veterans Memorial honors those Americans who answered the call, those who worked and fought under the trying of circumstances, and those who gave their lives for the cause of freedom.
