Running In The Family?

Would it be awful

If I ate a waffle

Instead of nutrition for dinner?

Not so, my lad!

No, a waffle ain’t bad

But you’ll have to work hard to get thinner.

Would it be ok

If I sat for a day

And watched TV and ate cheese?

Sure, sloth is fun

If you go for a run

To make sure you don’t get obese.

Thanks dad. You’re wise!

I guess me and the guys

Will eat waffles and cheese and relax,

Then we’ll go for a run

When the vegging is done

So our bellies don’t spill from our slacks!

Hey son, I see

Your weight starts with a three

And is neither four digits nor two.

Yeah dad, turns out

Running didn’t work out

But at least now I look more like you!

An Introverted Friend Indeed…

Motivation is a friend

Who sets an inspiring tone

And would be a mighty ally

If they’d just pick up their phone…

Victorious Secret

Hope and honor,

Faith and love:

These are yours

When you rise above.

So keep moving ahead

If only by little bits.

And for those who won’t,

Here’s to Friday and tits!

B-Team

I’m tired of B-team,
But that’s who I am.
I’m a win-silver human,
A second-place Sam.

I’m tired of B-team,
The farm team, the student.
I’m sick of “you’ll get there.”
“Stick with it.” “Be prudent.”

I’m tired of B-team,
Backup, JV.
I’m ready for bigger,
To live and to be.

I’m tired of B-team,
But I’ll change how I see.
I’m not best at that,
But I’m the very best me.

Wisdom from my Dad

I was taught something handy from someone called “Dad”

That although it is nice to have fun,

If you want to have something that you’ve never had

Try something that you’ve never done.

 

If you want to get anywhere in this here world,

You’ve got to most truly desire it.

If something’s in your head that makes dreams come unfurled,

It’s prudent to go in and fire it.

 

And thus, amidst humor, on occasional times

It’s wisdom, not comedy, that comes forth from my rhymes
