Stand

Philip Theibert

You can be stood up

You can stand down

You can stand alone

You can stand for something

Come to a standstill

You can just stand

You can have a lemonade stand

Or even a bandstand

Maybe a grandstand

You can be outstanding

Or a bystander

You can understand

Or misunderstand

even do handstands

be standoffish

But please don't say

You can't stand me…

    After 3+ days of no power, no heat, no Internet or cell phone service - the only thing I can't stand right now are these freak snowstorms that strike at the end of October when we are not prepared! cheers
