Turn your hearing aids on so you can hear all the gossip in the air Turn your hearing aids on so you can tell if they begin to swear Keep fresh batteries so you can pry Without those hearing aids, you will surely cry If you get tired of the conservation remove them with great elation You can have perfect peace and quiet in any situation God gave us hearing aids so we could hear every little thing Or if we’re so am-mind too, take ‘em out and not hear a darn thing So the moral of this story is to wear them as a badge of honor If you can’t find them in the morning you are surely a goner August 27, 2022 Penned for my friends At The Woodlands
GOD watches over me no matter where I roam I drive a Peterbilt named Nellie Bell, she always brings me home. Hauling cars from here to there, taking them to their destination. Always feeling HIS Presence, keeping me from frustration Every time I turn into the drive headed home I bow my head and thank HIM for riding along August 25, 2022 Mark Waldrop

Have you ever tried to blame someone you know Only to find out it wasn’t yours to bestow The blame you angrily flung at them came flying back to roost within You know what the Good Book says Keep Peace, so that we may be HIS August 19, 2022 Mark Waldrop
Frosty was a kind and gentle soul. I remember his face from long ago. The little red wagon he pulled, his dog that tagged along. He didn't have a care in the world always humming a song. I'm not saying he was perfect, for he was just a man. Seems like the Good Book says Love covers our earthly plans. Kind memories of Frosty speak for themselves. So love is everlasting, even if perpetuated by ourselves. August 9, 2022 Mark Waldrop

A traveling salesman in the south at the time My wife convinced me to get a perm, that my income might climb With my new look, nothing could hamper me The sales would soar. The money Would be flowing so free At my first stop, I proudly entered the door Only having their comments, dash my hopes to the floor August 3, 2023 Mark waldrop
“The Poet Society of South Carolina” was born over a hundred years ago. It was born in Charleston to keep its city aglow. Many readings and late-night meetings on King Street seemed to make the Creations oh so sweet. As time moved on, The Poet Society evolved. Its aim is that every community be involved. The taboo of the rich and famous having been left behind. We are opening new doors to the young and old, with Creative Minds. Where we go in the future is difficult to see. We are leaving it to the children of you and me. July 24, 2022 Mark Waldrop
Leftovers are the most misunderstood creation of mankind We’re not sure where they come from, they confuse the mind Often thinking of leftovers we think of food The second time around puts us in a better mood Have you ever assembled a grill, bookcase, or Bike I bet you had more parts than you would like Leftovers are just a natural law of the land Better to have leftovers than none in the hand July 19, 2022 Mark Waldrop
