Three reasons to be late for a basketball game (2007)

1. Bad weather.

2. Traffic jam.

3. Birth.

=====================================

Five hours after giving birth, and going though that labor and pain-

The dedicated Nebraska-Kearney coach still managed to attend the game.

From mobile game to

You know the one, the

alligator, that is green.

Gonna Try It-Not On A Diet # 598

Apples and oranges are not exactly the same-
But, then again, they both play a grand part,
in the healthy eating game.

Modern Mother Goose-On The Loose # 458 (To Turn A New Leaf)

If we’re not comfortable, we demand ease-
We do for ourselves, we progress with self please.
.
If things are not going our way-
We let everyone know, that very day.
.
If an incident doesn’t suit us well-
We can’t be quiet about it, we must tell.
.
We have to have our 15 minute of fame, a
great accomplishment-
Considered in this day and time, an act well
spent.
.
But, wait a minute, there is someone else in grief-
To focus on another human being, would it mean
turning over a new leaf?
.
If we’re not comfortable, we demand ease-
We do for ourselves, we progress with self please.

Modern Mother Goose-On The Loose # 513 (Political Gridlock)

There were two sides-
And, each took theirs, in stride.
.
They could not agree-
As all could see.
.
There was no compromise-
Of any size.
.
They stalled-
They stonewalled.
.
Things stayed the same-
In this political game.
.
To break the tie-
They all gave a sigh.
.
No common ground-
Able to be found.
.
There were two sides-
And, each took theirs, in stride.

Modern Mother Goose-On The Loose # 844 (To Pass Go)

To spend hours playing Monopoly-

Yes, that is the way, it used to be.

.

To be the banker was a lot of fun-

Doling out the money, was a job well done.

.

Always liked to be the little doggie, to make

my mark-

After rolling the dice, although, he did not bark.

.

To pass go, and collect that two hundred-

Sometimes broke, trying to get ahead.

.

One could always relax-

When they missed a spot, that involved

a tax.

.

For no one wanted to pay-

We wanted to collect, we wanted things

to go our way.

.

One good reward-

Was that get out of jail free card.

.

For as one made the round-

Finding oneself, in jail, could easily be found.

.

The game would be going great-

When one had their hands on the best real estate.

.

A hotel on Boardwalk and Park Place-

Heightened one’s chances, to win at a faster pace.

.

But, then again, the other ones could serve one well-

If one of the other players, landed on them, for a spell.

.

The game was not usually won real fast-

The ups and downs, would make the game last.

.

To finish up, and know that it wouldn’t be too long-

We’d be back, with another game going strong.

To spend hours playing Monopoly-

Yes,  that is the way, it used to be.
