Poem - Listen
Can you hear me?
Are you there?
All alone like me.
I can see you across the void.
Your home, comfortable and warm.
I send you messages with information.
To engage you, but you don't reply.
Is it that hard? Do you understand me?
Or is the ability just beyond your grasp?
The hard work of advance. Each one lleading
to the next bringing technology to
to use for a purpose.
Far away across space and time, we
look and ask if anyone is there.
And wait for a reply.
Time is our currency, while radio waves
make a slow march, looking for attention.
Of those that can hear me.
-- 1999

Poem - Starshine
Can you see the stars shine?
They twinkle in the dark
As the Earth turns beneath
Showing us the glories above.
Hidden jewels sparkle
Among the nebulae.
Young stars cast their first light.
Old stars show their last.
Galaxies hold the stars
in orbit, in orbit.
Arms carry them
Spinning in a slow dance.
Spread across the unvierse
They push back the darkness.
And give light.
And give hope.
For the future traveller
Places to explore.
New planets, yes.
New peoples, perhaps.
There is only one way
To find out for sure.
Go to the stars,
And make our own starshine.

You left it WHERE?????
Murphy showed up at Mass one Sunday and the priest almost fell down when he saw him. He'd never been to church in his life.
After Mass, the priest caught up with him and said, "Murphy, I am so glad ya decided to come to Mass. What made ya come?"
Murphy said, "I got to be honest with you Fadder. A while back, I misplaced me hat and I really, really loved that hat. I knew that McGlynn had a hat just like mine and I knew he came to church every Sunday.
I also knew that he had to take off his hat during Mass and figured he would leave it in the back of church. So, I was going to leave after Communion and steal McGlynn's hat."
The priest said, "Well, Murphy, I notice that ya didn't steal McGlynn's hat. What changed yer mind?
"Murphy replied, "Well, after I heard your sermon on the 10 Commandments, I decided that I didn't need to steal McGlynn's hat after all.
"With a tear in his eye the priest gave Murphy a big smile and said;
"After I talked about 'Thou Shalt Not Steal' ya decided you would rather do without your hat than burn in hell? "
Murphy slowly shook his head. "No, Fadder, after ya talked about 'Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery' I remembered where I left me hat."
