THE PANAMA CANAL  

The Panama Canal is an amazing and wonderful endeavor

 Ships can now pass between two oceans forever.

A bridge was needed so cars could pass

So, one was built and built to last

It has a beautiful design

And it lights up at

Night just

 Fine.

           One of the greatest realizations I have had as I look around me, and one that brings me great joy, is that I can say, with a smile on my face, that I know nothing, and it is true. In reality, none of us knows anything because all we think we know will change with time. It is a great relief not to have the troubles of the world on your back. It gives you permission to enjoy the years we have and to share them with those we love on some of the world’s great rivers.

When you let your mind drift back to the past

 You will experience both joy and tears

Both of which are enhanced

With a couple of beers.

I asked my wife what women really want. She said

A tent of lovers, or maybe it was an attentive lover,

I really wasn’t listening.
