    There's something about
    Bedtime which makes my wife say,
    "Let's talk serious..."

    Why do people wait
    Until New Years to get fit
    Just another day

    Got to do it right
    Get after it everyday
    Your health will not wait

    Time is a harsh mistress:
    Life is a battle you lose,
    sooner or later.

    Not a rose garden,
    but what's the alternative?
    Do... "there is no try".

    Yoda is wise, indeed
    Judge me by my size, do you
    Harsh reality

    Speak for yourself, sir!
    I plan to live forever!
    (Checks pulse)...still alive!

    I’m so excited
    That I have to shovel snow
    Oh wait no. It stinks

    I have no haiku
    Sitting here with head in clouds
    When is the weekend

    I am no poet
    but that doesn't matter much
    when "speaking" haiku

    It isn’t very soon
    Perhaps vacation instead?
    I need one badly

    As a younger man,
    I relished more work, more pay;
    Now I prefer sleep

    Work is too damn hard.
    Play is much more fun, I think.
    Can't we just do that?

    Nice to see you here.
    Wishing you a vacation
    That knocks your socks off! 🤣

    I was on a roof
    In the cold all day for work
    Can’t wait for a beer

    I expect nothing
    So I am rarely, if ever
    Very disappointed

    Disappointed much?
    If you are or if you aren't
    it could be much worse.

    No matter how bad,
    it can always be much worse,
    so just be happy.

    Yes, "just be happy"...
    that's easier said than done,
    at least you're alive!

    Just an afterthought:
    being alive is a gift
    to be thankful for.

    If your team losing
    is the worst part of your day,
    then you can't complain.

    All my teams are trash
    Detroit teams haven’t been good
    Used to it by now

    NFL Playoffs:
    The best part of the season
    For true football fans

    Track meet or slog fest,
    If the game score remains close,
    The excitement builds

    Two weeks til Super Bowl:
    The Bengals versus the Rams
    Can't wait to watch it

    Drama and suspense,
    Three hours of action, tears, cheers...
    Wife loves commercials

    Best part this season...
    Matthew Stafford won the chance
    to win the big game

    you made my day good

    Go Cincinnati!
    I wish the forty-niners
    were headed there too.

    It gets easier
    working out day after day,
    or so I've been told.

    Super Bowl Sunday!
    Suspense, action...the one time
    Commercials are great!

    Who will win the game?
    If my team isn't in it,
    do I even care? 😂

    All true football fans,
    No matter their allegiance,
    Must have loved that game!

    Stafford can pound sand
    He has to have an all star team
    He is no leader

    I may be bitter
    Cuz he didn’t do it here
    And that’s fine by me

    Lions are garbage
    This is undeniable
    But he had chances

    C’est la vie, they say
    And this can’t be more true
    It is what it is

    I don't understand,
    Why can't they play all year long?
    It just seems so wrong.

    Life isn't over,
    I'll get over it I guess.
    Still, I'll miss football.
