About the Author
My name is Charles (Chuck) Myers. I have a son (David) and a daughter (Alesha) a stepdaughter (Tabbi) and a stepson (John Allen)
I am just a high school graduate. I like to write poems as a hobby. I'm sorry! My late wife Margaret used to love to read my poems.
I'm now retired and finally attempting to fulfill my dream.
What Are Poems
Poems, just words that tell about many things
Stories about rich and poor, about queens and kings
Stories about people and lives they've had
Lives that are good, some that are bad
Dreams about things we wish we could do
Others about the dreams that never come true
Poems can be about flowers, birds, and trees
Or they can be about people like you and me
They can be about family or even a friend
About life or death in the very end
They can be about strangers or about ones we love
Poems could be about the devil or God above
Poems consist of words that come from the heart
That can make us laugh or tear us apart
Words with feeling that can make us cry
Or just look amazed and wonder why
I write my poems in the same way
I don't try to hurt anyone with the words I say
So if I didn't make you laugh or make you cry
It's not because I didn't try
Alexa (Oops, Here It Is)
We walk through the door, who do we see
No other than Alexa, greeting you and me
She grabs a menu and tells you to follow her
Sometimes this I'm not to awful sure
She seats you and tells you who'll be serving you
One would think this would be easy to do
She makes cloudy days seem bright and sunny
'Cause when it comes right down to it, she is rather funny
But on those days that have bumps and ridges
She just thinks of her hobby, jumping off bridges
She is the hostess, she is a worker, and she's surely not lazy
But one does have to wonder, could she be certifiable crazy
I wrote this just for fun
So I hope she doesn't snap and come undone
But if she does, just because of what I wrote
Could someone please stop her before she goes for my throat
I wrote this not meaning any harm
So please don't get upset and don't break my arm.
