Originally, the song lyrics were to be “Get your fish on Route 66,” but that didn’t quite make it and it eventually became “Get your kicks on Route 66.” But there are still a few who, if you listen closely, sing, “Get your fish on Route 66.”

Photo finish Friday: “Yo, yo”
Yo, dig my shades?
Yo, yo, I don’t know
but I’ve been told
mean ol’ homework
will rot my soul.
Yo, yo, I don’t know
but I’ve been told
mean ol’ chores
are an empty bowl.
Yo, yo, I don’t know
but I’ve been told
walkin’ to school
is hard on the sole.
Yo, yo, I don’t know
but so it goes
I done counted
and I have ten toes.
Yo, yo, I don’t know
and may never be told
when this silly rhyme
starts to get old.

Photo finish Friday: “Rock of ages”
“Well, Captain, she’s either the biggest lump of coal Santa ever brought, or one of the largest dilithium crystal piles I’ve ever seem. Would explain what powers those eight tiny reindeer.”

Photo finish Friday 2: “A kiss is just a….”
A kiss is just a….
The Borg and the hologram went out on a date.
The Borg and the hologram were told not to stay too late.
At 7 of 9, things that night were still fine.
At 9 of 7, things next morning were not heaven.
A doctor was called; he appeared out of thin air
He examined the patients with a gruff, “I don’t care.”
“The Borg’s done for,” he said with a grin
For you see the hologram has gotten under her skin.
So let this be a tale of dating across lines
Because once you do cross, you may come back realigned.
[Editor’s / author’s note: This photo above appeared on Facebook from the Star Trek web site with a caption me request. My response was the poem, which just flowed out in about 10 minutes. I am not saying it is great quality, just a bit of rhyming whimsy. Strange how sometimes that happens.]

Photo finish Friday: “Blue lights, blue questions”
A Blue Christmas?
Are these blue lights draped around a motorcycle engine the sign of a holiday police dragnet? A sudden K-Mart blue light holiday special buy? The remains of a collision of a motorcycle and a Christmas tree (including the candy cane)? Picasso in a new blue period just in time for the holidays? A physical manifestation of the ghost of Elvis opining that he will have a Blue Christmas without you? Whatever it is, it is a little larger than your average stocking stuffer.

Photo finish Friday: “Leg up on the Holiday Spirit”
What every best-decked-out holiday bike rider needs for an evening-ride: a lamp on the back of your bike with a leg-in-stockings base. An extra leg in case one of your own gets tired.

Photo finish Friday: “Sheepish”
The baaaad are everywhere.
“Listen up, boys,” the head sheep said. “We have one chance to get this right. The sow keeps all her money at the Piggy Bank on the corner. We show a little backbone and knock it over and we’ll never have to cower again. You with me?”
