I HAVE OUTLIVED MY PECKER

Oooooooooh weeeeeeeeeeee!!!

The GREAT, GREAT, GREAT Willie Nelson penned a great one!!!

Well, only fellas of a certain age will get it!!!

And boy, oh boy, do I get it!!!

Recording a voiceover to Willie's all-too-honest testimony is something I simply HAD to do!!!

Haaaaa!!!

It is what it is!!! 😏😜😏😜😏😜😏

DEMOCRACY

Reading works by Langston Hughes is a true delight for me!!!

ENVY

My voiceover below is a quote by #1 New York Times bestselling author and poet, Rupi Kaur, on a subject matter that has far too many folks in a chokehold.

BE YOURSELF

It's my pleasure to read this insightful poem by Ms. Ellen Bailey.

THE ROAD NOT TAKEN

Robert Frost, as we all know, is a poetry great!!!

I was introduced to this poem in second grade.

My neighborhood buddy, John-John, read it aloud in front of the class and our teacher, Mrs. Hazelwood.

And now, I'm reading it aloud!!!

DO NOT STAND AT MY GRAVE AND WEEP


This poem is engraved on my mother's gravestone.

For that reason alone, I simply HAD to record myself reading it!!!

Interestingly enough, its writer, Mary Elizabeth Frye, wrote the poem in 1932.

That's the same year of my mother's birth.

Well, Mama, aka "Miss Juanita," I miss you and wish you well!!!
