5 more random words from a friend:
equator, tortilla, suspenders, bowling, motivate

Just Wondering Aloud...

It was a warm Autumn night in Equator, Georgia.
The stars blinked in some kind of mystic rhythm,
as the constellations gazed down upon us.

I was walking home from my weekly bowling game
when I saw Old Man Whitfield sitting on his porch
in his well-worn overalls and old rocking chair.

As I approached, he slowly hoisted himself up, 
and with thumbs hooked into his suspenders, said 
"Whad'ya 'spose the Man in the Moon is thinkin' 'bout?"

I climbed the rickety steps to his porch, 
popped my last tortilla chip into my mouth,
and leaned against the railing alongside him.

We discussed local gossip and news,
fishing, and the upcoming rodeo.
Until it was time for me to go.

As I walked away, I looked over my shoulder
and said: I suspect he's wondering 
the same thing we are:

How do we motivate mankind to seek Peace?
