This is a poem about nothing.
No hating, no cussing, no loving.
Just putting down words that all rhyme.
No real meaning, just wasting time.
I'm really not sure what I'll write next.
I'm just typing words, filling in text.
Making things up as I go along.
Hoping I don't meet an aswang. *
I'm hoping this poem will make you smile,
and not make anyone hostile.
I wonder what the next line will say,
on my computer monitor display.
This will for sure be the last stanza.
I think I want to watch Bonanza. **
If this poem put a smile on your face
then you know "Who" is on first base. ***

Howdy y’all. It’s me, ninong7 aka UJ aka John. Just a short intro about myself. I am a Texan that has retired in the Philippines. I moved to the Philippines with my wife back in May 2010. I am retired from the US Air Force. The music I like is mostly Classic Country and Classic Rock. I guess you could say that I am “Classic”. I play dominoes when I can find someone that will play, I play chess, cribbage, spades, hearts, Empire Builder, Rail Baron, Acquire and a few other games. I like to write poems and stories (although pretty novice) and I love learning about history, just about any history. I’m at home on my computer a lot but if I could afford to, I’d be traveling and documenting my travels to post in my blog. I hope to get to know a lot of you through PeakD and Discord.
