What Will You Do

What Will You Do

© 2017 by P Michael Biggs

Behold your wild and precious life;

what will you do?

Will you join a crew

and row to Perdue?

If you lose the game

will you ask for a re-do?

If someone tries to trick you

Will you be able to see through?

When things get tough

I hope you push through.

When you fail a test,

I hope you do a review.

As you grow older

May you develop a world view.

That, perhaps, may help you

keep from coming unglued.

And in the end

Will you always say, ‘Thank you’?

If you do, that shows

The best side of YOU!

What Do You Intend

What Do You Intend

What do you intend

When you talk to a friend?

Do you commend,

Or defend?

Perhaps you offend

and then make amends?

What do you intend?

Will you tie up loose ends?

Will you pretend to comprehend?

Does it all depend

to what extent

you need to a mend?

Don’t condescend,

when talking to a friend,

be flexible and bend

for in the end

friendships pay dividends

and help the heart to amend.

That’s where best friends begin.

I Want to be Certified

I Want to be Certified

© 2017 by P Michael Biggs

I want to be certified.

Authentified,

Bona fide,

And live on the Westside

I like Dignified

Clarified

Fortified

But not cockeyed.

I’ll avoid calcified,

Cast aside,

Falsified

And horrified

And I’ll stay away from

Misapplied,

Mollified

Mummified,

And set aside.

I will sit ringside,

I like high tide,

I’ll sit inside

When it’s cold outside

But give me a big dose of

Come alongside,

Civic pride,

Justified,

And verified

Christmas is coming …

Here comes yuletide.

Our world will be beautified

And intensified

With sweet pies

And sleigh rides

And kids who spy

With eyes wide

What a perfect place to abide.
