Trade Offs

Boxers or briefs,
Salad or soup,
Ranch or French
Alone or a group?

Introvert or extrovert,
Country or rock,
Canine or feline,
Piaget or Spock?

Switchers or fighters,
Whole milk or fat free,
Harley or Yamaha,
Democrat or GOP?

Star Wars or Star Trek,
Beatles or the Stones,
Connery or Craig,
Han Solo or Indiana Jones?

Life is full of trade offs
Everything’s a choice
So hurry, close the menu
And give yourself a voice.

Goodbye Mr. Spock



I thought for awhile

That Mr. Nimoy was

Truly from another 

Planet.

His portrayal of Mr. Spock

Was the quintessential 

Vulcan.

A tongue in cheek

Article read when

I was too young to

Understand such

Humor seemed to

Confirm that the 

Ears were real, 

That Nimoy was

Alien.

I wondered why 

This wasn’t bigger 

News.

Goodbye Mr. Nimoy. 

Thank you for 

Making me a

Believer.
