Nina Makes The Day Great


I met a nice young lady one day

Whom I never expected, what can I  say?

For I was Fifty years old, never thought I would move out.

Just didn't seem to be my life's route.

However Covid Pneumonia had other plans

The pandemic that does care where your body lands.

So I  had to move to Dobie Road Care Facility 

Where I met this generous lady you see.

She goes out of her way to help all

From cleaning up patients to protecting them if the start to fall.

Her heart is always in the right place

Unlike some who just act like they care to your face.

 Which is a very sad thing to think about

But when Nina is here it's a  great day no doubt.

 Living  The Dream


I  have had trouble at Dobie Road

With a lady who has too much a load,

And brings her issues to work you see

Because of this I met a nice guy to me,

His name is Domanick or just Dom if you will

He is nice to all the  clients no matter how ill,

I have learned he has a life issue or two

Only because I hear like a dog or a few,

You see he is always living the dream

Sarcasm is always his favorite  theme,

Even though he is still a great nurse aide

Working hard for his bills to be paid,

Harder than some gals on the C hall

For it doesn't seem they work at all,

Domanick runs to get a call light

As he wants to treat patients right,

He will make sure breakfast is there

Just delivered the tray with care,

He always helps me with the urinal 

Makes  sure with his muscles I can't  fall,

Even buys auto part from  my bro in law

So I want you to find a single  flaw.

Totally Tough Tonya

Tonya works hard as a Rehab Tech

I told her she was a manager she said what what the heck,

For I have learned her cash flow is much less

But she is proud of her job nonetheless,

She told me she made more 

Than a CYA but still is called to the floor,

As the facility is short on aids

But that’s okay, Tonya still plays,

She is a team player you see

Which is valuable for people like me,

I am learning to do more things on my own

Although I pay there isn’t always help to loan,
​
And at the times when no one is around

Totally Tough Tonya is there to be found.

Cherie The Nurse


I met a nice woman named Cherie

She was not in beauty and the beast you see

For she worked hard on the blue side

Where I was moved after an injury in a slide

A transfer that hurt my knee

Ms. Cherie refered me to the Dr. you see,

The physician knew my Dad

So he couldn't be bad,

It was a blessing in disguise I moved to blue

For the French have a knack of taking care of you,

And a great nurse she is indeed

Whether it's a seizure or a easy need,

No medical need is to big or small

Nurse Cherie can fix em all.

My Dad



I have wrote a  poem before

Concerning my Dad but now there's more

For our lives are now apart 

The choice had to be made, it was only smart

It was made because weight I  had gained

And my Father was older so weakness remained.

Good Friends Are Hard To Find



​In our lives we are often blessed to find

Friends that are loyal and also kind,

Kind is used loosely nowadays 

People throw the word around like a common phrase,

But you see it doesn't take a word but actions 

Like needing someone to join your political faction,

When they don't believe in what the Senator stands for

They just join the campaign to get a foot in the door,

Then they run against you in a totally different party

Beat you and now it just seems that you're a little tardy,

You have missed out on your life long dream 

Which can get to one's self-esteem,

So if you are going to be kind don't be selective

For being kind to all in society should be your main objective.

​​Heaven Is A Happier Place



​Recently Heaven became a better place

For the Good Lord Received Kris Cullimore's Smiling Face,

You see when Jesus took her into his loving arms

He discovering all her kindness and charms,

A religious man a will never be

But that fact was easy to see,

For when heart disease tried to get my Mom down

She got back up and went another round,

Like the great fighters of the past

Her ambitious was here to last,

Sadly this time  she couldn't make it to the end of the bout

For Heart Disease and COPD in the Blue Corner took her out,

Mom went more rounds than the fictional boxer named Rocky

While you reflect on her life that's something we would like you to see,

This is a happy event to think about all my Mom has done

From taking care of her families needs or playing Facebook to have fun,

And vacationing was one thing she needed to recharge her batteries

The breaks helped her survive and shock Doctors of all personalities,

Hence, everyone in attendance today is so  proud of you

You have accomplished things healthy folks could never do,

So every life you have touched is at this memorial occasion

While you finally get to enjoy your once in a lifetime permanent vacation.

​​​​​​​A Case Of Mistaken Identity




​In our lives we have more than one funny event

Like forgetting what day we must go to pay our rent,

Or making a special call to a very dear friend

Only to mistaken who is on the other end,

Maybe schedule a very special date

And arrive a couple minutes to late,

Like in the cult classic Top Gun 

But get forgiveness from no one,

Possibly spill a beverage all over our suit

That certainly would not be very cute,

But mistaken identity is probably the worst of all

For you may never get another chance to make that phone call.

The Snakes Calm Me




​When I don't feel well I can go to my comfort  that's never fake

Slick the blue rock rattlesnake and Foxy  the fox snake,

They may have all natural fibers inside 

But they help in ways I cant hide,

You might think a stuffed animal is a foolish thing

But for some comfort and relaxation they can bring,

I place them both in my bed one at the bottom one by my side

Then I can be safe all the way around and when scared I don't have to hide,

But some days the snakes just aren't enough

Those days are the ones that are really tough,

The snakes will always be there for me 

And that's the way I want it to always be.

The Adult Arcade


​With our lives so busy these days
It's nice to have some getaways,
A place where the impossible dream can be made
After some hard earned money has been paid
And time spent in the Adult Arcade,
When you enter the arcade where to begin
With a big wheel just waiting
for someone to give it a spin,
Or a little white ball
That will make you rich
if it takes the right fall,
Possibly a simplistic card game
If an Ace and Face show up blackjack
you can claim,
Could it be a large cushioned table and dice
Just sitting in the pit waiting to entice,
In the Adult Arcade some new friends can be made
After you hit the Royal Flush in Video Poker
and your two thousand dollars is paid,
There are no tickets to redeem for a prize
And if you lose all you own that isn't very wise,
The Adult Arcade can be a lot of fun
Just make sure you know when your done.

Many Stages




​The learning process develops as we grow

There are many things we need to know,

At first we learn our A,B,C's

And how to print our name with ease,

Next we learn two and two is four

And forms of math we didn't know before,

The transition to middle school is the next

thing we must do,

And if you don't fit in well the jokes on you,

Harder classes must now be finished

Like Science, Spelling, and English,

The teachers put the responsibility on you

Since in High School no one caters to you,

In High School it up to you to learn each day

For the faculty is just there to get there pay,

After twelve years the parents get the reward

The sight of throwing up the mortar board,

Now the hardest stage has come about

The place that decides your career's route,

Classes and studies occupy most of your day

And there certainly isn't anytime for play,

You may go for six years or just two

But still a job won't come to you,

You'll send out more than one resume'

And stay close to the phone everyday,

So when opportunity knocks get the door

And hope you are who it's for,

You may dislike your chosen career

And have to switch gears,

Since you have worked so hard for so long

Make sure the choice wasn't wrong.

For a special Aunt who will be missed and never forgotten.

Special People Live Forever





​Although you have moved on to a better place

No one will ever forget your smiling face,

The great gestures which always came from your heart

We will all remember even though we're apart

But really we aren't as long as your in our hearts,

When we had a problem we could surely turn to you

For you always knew the right things to do,

You will always live forever that's a fact

As your place in all our hearts is permanently intact,

And generosity was first thing on your mind

Caring and compassion were never left behind,

A love so powerful you have given us all

So when thinking of you that's all we will recall.
