The Goal And The Flag Pole!

Run it up.Run it down.A frisky pup.A psycho clown.
Could be more.Could be less.Come ashore.Avoid the mess.
Make it work.Make it stick.A silly jerk.Take your pick.
Who or what.What or who.Make the cut.Or just boo hoo.
Boo the hoo.Who's the boo?Maybe the hoo?I'm asking you.
Reach the top.Reach the middle.Start to stop.Hey, diddle diddle.
Raise it high.Raise it low.Do or die.Not really though.
Stakes aren't dire.Death won't fly.Pop a tire.I might lie.
Next to top.Next to middle.Just don't stop,Keep that diddle.
Words will flow.Words shall come.How many? Don't know.But it'll be some.

Look for Masquerade: Oddly Suited late spring!
Ever set your goals too high? Think they should go to the top of the flagpole in the sky? Do you see what you do get done? Do you go all nuts thinking you'll die if they aren't given a run? Unless you have this or that, like a disease where you're at, that won't come due. So don't hoo the boo. Or boo the hoo? Hey, again, I asked you. Trying and realizing what you have done is the best way to come to pass. On that you can trust my little rhyming ass.

Enjoy your winter, smash a printer.
