THURSDAY POEM

THE ROAD I RIDE

It's the road I ride
It's a one night stand
Another broken promise
In this Promised Land
It's a mile too far
It's a long way to go
But it's the road I ride
And it's all I know

It's the road I ride
To the point of no return
It's a widow's teardrop
Where a fire still burns
In a captive heart
Screamin’ to be set free
It's road I ride
It's all there is to me

It's the road I ride
In this old Cadillac

It's a one way street
It's a knife in the back
It’s the highway's cry

It's the siren song
It's road I ride
It's where I belong

It's the road I ride

With its own set of rules
You steal an ounce of gold, boy
You got to pay back two
But I'm headin’ straight
Into the eye of the sun
It's the road I ride
Till my life is done...

A Sure Sign Of Spring

Jim Murray · Went outside this morning to do my walking and noticed that this was on my mailbox. These birds must have worked all night on this. Hope they got paid overtime. We think they're Robins. I carefully moved the nest to another location.

Sentiment Doesn't Sell.

Post from Jim Murray

The fact that the designs of new cars are all kind of running together these days shows a real lack of daring and creativity out there in the automobile design world. Just yesterday I saw a Cadillac and a Hyundai, both SUVs, parked side by side. Damned if I could tell them apart. ...
