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

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

I'm sorry it's so, I'm obliged to go
I can't stay in one place very long you know
I have to keep traveling on down the line
Happy as I can be, I'm feeling mighty fine
My momma done left me,the kids are all grown
I ain't got no reason to stay at home
Free as a bird, not two pennies to rub together
I feel like the richest man on this earth ever
I'm out of jail, the whole world is mine
All I need is just a big ole bottle of wine
We're all gonna die somewhere makes no difference to me
I ain't got nobody to spend no money to bury me
When I lay my head down for the last time
I just thank GOD iv’e been blessed all this time

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

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.

The Prescription I have longed for since the beginning of time
Is the Prescription that will give me much peace of mind
Searching in many Drug Stores to no avail
Even trying Emergency Rooms with fail
I don't think it's a man-made medicine that will cure the ill
Finding it one day, the Prescription of
Goodwill

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

“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.

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
