Naked, with a lyre
Oh, there’s no fooling ya!

“Every day is a journey,
and the journey itself is home”
Matsuo Basho

Delphi

Two, standing tall
The one, very small
Statues
Of different statures

“Every day is a journey,
and the journey itself is home”
Matsuo Basho

Delphi

The world resting on one’s shoulders
Just get a good grip and try to hold it there

“I’m not a Twitterer, I’m not a twerker,
I’m not a Facebooker, I’m not nothing.
I’m old school.”
Michael Jordan

Old School

In the flashback
Neatly done haystacks
In the olden days
When life was laid back

“I’m not a Twitterer, I’m not a twerker,
I’m not a Facebooker, I’m not nothing.
I’m old school.”
Michael Jordan

Old School

What secrets lie
On the riverside
Maybe buried treasure
Or just people in leisure
Just a faded image
Painted for the vintage
A reminder
Of a desire
For the good old days

I’m not a Facebooker, I’m not nothing.
I’m old school.”
Michael Jordan

Old School

In my youth
When placing a call
There were these things you used
We called – phone booths
In the olden days
The secret lay
In talking to each other
Now, who bothers
When you can just, type
Oh, what a modern hype!

“We may have all come on different ships, but we’re in the same boat now”
Martin Luther King, Jr.

Row, Row, Row Your Boat

A boat filled with flowers
Was a little too crowded for the rowers
So instead, they rode a lawnmower
Before the grass grew any taller
