Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for March 11, 2025

Todd has seen the light

no wonder so many accidents these days

Unfortunately, the only place he knows how to navigate to is his house, and no one in their right mind would want to go there.

Todd is part of Elon’s plan for the FAA.

I’m on the flight path to the local airport. I’ve always wanted to put something silly or rude on the one acre of grass near my house.

Another Ballard Street fixture is Todd

Like most residents there he’s a bit odd

During Fall duck and geese migrations

He signals their passing V-formations

To direct them South he considers his job

/// At one time, Todd was one of those nerds

who would aim his spy glasses at birds.

Now he struggles and strains

to change movements of planes,

so their contrails will spell dirty words.

He was full time till trump put him out of a job.

But l digress…

There was a young fellow called Todd,

Who’s hobby you might think was odd.

He’d navigate planes,

Outside in the rain,

When they crashed, he would blame it on God.

Hobbyist?

Navigation Hobbyist and Neon and Incandescent Light Aficionado.

Good morning Balladeers!

Todd doesn’t want it to fly into a Belding.

Todd really wants to do his part. His Intel points the Drones to Moscow… ☺

And yet, Todd himself has lost his way.

This way to the bbq! Drop in any time!

Good evening, Ballard Dears!
