Turn on your way back machine, sometime within the last forty years during the Saturday morning cartoon shows. Nestles had a "chocolate milk mix" commercial it was as follows:
N-E-S-T-L-E-S (this was spelled out)
Nestles make the very best,
Chocolate!
I can't sing on here of course, and if I could it wouldn't be helpful. Do you remember it? It was a catchy jingle. Well Hollie and I have re-written it.
S-T-A-P-L-E-S
Staples laminates the best,
Projects.
Oh, the things that we think of on a Saturday morning :)

The rain in Spain......
.......may fall on the plain,
but in Maine it's a real pain.
I wish it would stop. Just go away,
and leave us a nice dry day.
I managed to walk around town,
with an umbrella and a frown.
And then walked some more,
in a large store, but who's keeping score.
Yesterday was "give blood day",
every eight weeks so they say.
But my finger sticks were a fail,
No iron, guess I'm to pale.
Today, Saturday, is another,
date with the child of her mother.
She wants a new magazine, a book,
some polish, and plastic to cook.
Oh, the girl always has plans,
they don't concern pots and pans.
Her "cooking" plans are her dreams,
of tens of laminate machines.
The projects she'll do,
well, it's just a small few,
shes says as she's busily pasting,
photo to paper, no time is wasting.
Be at Staples at nine on the dot,
I mean, she may have a lot.
People who work at that store,
turn the heat on the machine for sure.
They know when she walks in the door,
there will be "projects" galore,
they'll get them all done,
but Dad, it just one,
so, you see, there's always one more!
We hope you have a great day,
please take care of pets that now stray,
push the big purple button for sure,
'cause meals are needed and more.
Have a great day, or weekend, or whatever this is.

Third
Well, these came out all backward,
you know? instead of forward,
It's operator error, or maybe some mistake;
now doesn't that beat all? Or does it take the cake?
So please go feed the critters their needed daily meal,
you know the website don't you? So let's make a deal.
Be good as you can be to others, please don't pass the buck;
You'll find that it works for you, you can change your luck!
Be happy!

I wonder if.......
.........i should get used to sleeping in?
Two days in a row, is that the longest that it's been?
It probably doesn't matter when or where or how;
but it's important to have happen to me right now.
Yesterday was quiet, yes I was quite a bore,
I think that I was tired from the day before.
I did get in my walking, I like that a lot
and if it didn't happen I'd suspect a plot.
So, over there in Brewer on Dirigo Drive,
I did four miles of walking, oh my how I thrive.
It's very relaxing and doesn't seem like work,
now that I've developed that little daily quirk.
When I got home I wondered, what will I do now?
Why don't you work on your project you've not forgotten how!
So after lunch I gathered all my artwork stuff,
and here is what I finished. Did I do enough?

It's ten o'clock.......
...and twenty minutes later,I say,
I'm ready and up for the day.
Just like all of the days before,
awakened to even the score.
The Red Sox are behind three to one,
fans watching the game having fun.
They are cheering and of both sexes,
you can tell they're playing in Texas.
But, forget all of that,
them losing has gotten old hat.
There are things I must do,
to better explain and inform you.
I have news of a personal best,
it happened yesterday, now I rest.
I finished walking five hundred miles,
and celebrated with a good many smiles.
You see that's one million steps,
over a course a great many reps.
In March I started to keep score,
of the first miles then many more.
The doctors said 'please lose weight',
do some exercise we know that you hate.
I was advised, to get off my duff,
and do some walking and stuff.
Little did I know then,
how much fun it has been.
I look forward now to doing a double.
and do one thousand miles, with no trouble.
Keep It Simple Stupid, hope I don't offend,
but it's good practice when,
life gets complicated and it will,
you won't be tempted to kill.
And give the critters a bite,
http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com/, it's the site.
The reason is really simple, easy and quick.
when on the big purple button you click.
Have a great day!

Just a note.
Todays posting is below this note (see Fixation....).
Those rhyme postings are easier to write than stuff like this, I don't know why; it must be a funny brain thing. I didn't comment on the Red Sox, they aren't as important as the family.
