I know it sounds simple but it's true....writers, write.
It's what we do. It could be a song, it could be a short story or magazine article or even a letter to an
old friend. And sometimes its poetry. From time to time we are going to add some of my poetry to the web page. I certainly hope you enjoy it.

Hot Flashes
​
When it comes to thinking positive
I'm the first to get in line
Glass half empty glass half full
I'm a half full kind of guy
And when it comes to matters marital
The same logic still applies
Lately my wife's temperature has been On a rapid rise
She says it just hot flashes
But flashes they are not
We no longer sleep with the covers on
And we leave the heater off
One night it grew unbearable
I decided there's no excuse
A clever fella could figure out a way
To put this excess body heat to use
Suddenly I had a brainstorm
and I went into the kitchen
Rummaged around until I found
A good size baking chicken
I wrapped it up in tin foil
And with a minimum of fuss
I put it right there in bed
Between the two of us
I got up in the morning excitedly I looked
Opened up the package
The bird was fully cooked
I tried it with some sausage,
Some kielbasa, made beef jerky
But nothing will compare with last Thanksgiving
When I cooked a 16 pound tom turkey!
