(poem) - I Don't Know

The fact is
She doesn’t know
I asked her what to write
And she said she doesn’t know

So what can I write
About that subject
Seems a hard one
To project

But this is what I get
For asking my wife what to write
Now I have to struggle
To do what is right

I wonder if she’ll like
This poem I created for her
As it doesn’t talk about love
Or about our new furniture

Its about a simple
Non-committal response
Given by a spouse
Who didn’t even give me a nuance

So here I sit
Making line after line
Hoping for it to make sense
Time after time

But alas I think I’m failing
In this silly endeavor
Just because I’m trying
Doesn’t mean I’m that cleaver

If only she would have given me
A better subject to write
I wouldn’t have to worry about this
When its published on Friday night

And I could sleep better
In the bed with her
Instead I’ll toss and turn
Worrying about this poem’s future

But this is the subject she chose
I needed a random idea to make the flow
I asked for a subject
And she said she didn’t know.

Things to Know Before Your Disney World Vacation

Disney World is a one of a kind destination, and will end up being a one of a kind vacation if you chose to go.  All in all, my trip there was a huge success despite all the short comings.  And in all honesty, it was a huge success because of all the research Lisa and I did ahead of time.

We both consulted many websites, and Lisa actually read a few books on her Kindle, one of which kind of ‘ruins’ Disney’s mystique, and we learned a ton of stuff.  Sure much of the things contradicted themselves, but after the trip was through, we realized how much we actually missed, because of our poor planning.

A Good Ghost Story

I write books about vampires that involve a ghost, but I have never been into ghost stories. I’ve never had the reputed pleasure of being freaked out by tales of psychotic spirits, or spirited psychotics who are about to lop my head off with a power tool as soon as I drift off to sleep at some backwoods campsite.

Do I believe in ghosts? Yes. My house where I grew up (my parents house) and my house where I live at now is haunted. Why do ghosts exist? The answer is strictly opinion but in my opinion, yes.
