    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
