A friend introduced me to the hive.
Man, I don't have time for that jive.
I write now, I don't have to worry.
All I want to do is write my story.
--
He says I'll love it, give it a try.
I'm thinking, "Man what's with this guy".
Then I think I don't want to be cruel.
Besides, this guy has always been cool.
--
Then he says that I can make money.
Is he just trying to be funny?
So, I made my id and my password.
The whole time thinking this was absurd.
--
But as the days, weeks and months went by.
I was glad that I gave it a try.
The money is not coming in so fast.
But it's fun, I'm having a blast.
--
I try to write something every day.
Sometimes it's hard to find things to say.
That's when I write a poem like this one.
I get a daily post and I have fun.

I'd recommend that you try this too.
If you're reading this, you already do.
Tell your friends, get them involved.
It might get some of their problems solved.

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.
