    Author

    Paul J. Volkmann

    Paul J. Volkmann, also known as Latrobe’s Paul Harvey, has worked to bring smiles to people’s faces and make them think for a decade through his weekly newspaper column, ‘Off the Wall.” A Roman Catholic by faith, Volkmann has never been afraid to let his spiritual convictions be shown. Not only is he a fisherman, but also a fisher of men. Pee Vee or Mr. Pee Vee, as he is called by many, first had his passion for writing sparked in the late 60’s, as editor for a college page at the Ashland Times Gazette, in Ashland, OH. Volkmann continues to write his “Off the Wall,” as well as an outdoor column, “Inside the Outdoors” for The Latrobe Bulletin (PA.) He also serves as vice president and newsletter editor for the Holy Family Church’s Holy Name Society. When not at his computer, Volkmann enjoys spending time with his wife, Teri, and their grown children, Kelsey and Aaron.

      Peeveetry - Paul J. Volkmann

      Silence

      From the 1970’s

      Christmas Prayer

      Winter season,

      Falling snow,

      Fires burning,

      Cold winds blow.

      Happy moments,

      Men unite,

      Pray for peace

      On Christmas night.

      Forgiveness begins in one’s heart.

      Gum Pop

      Do not chew

      Your Double Bubble

      While we’re here

      At the Daily Double.

      It may pop

      An’ cover your face

      An’ cause the horses

      To lose their pace.

      Asked how I am, I reply,

      Fit as a fiddle, but not strung out.

      Sis Bugged

      Caught meself

      A bug last night.

      Took alikin’ to

      It all right.

      Wanted to show

      My sister, Lil

      Who took off running

      And is running still!

      The Greatest thing about

      being wrong is learning to be right.

      Read

      Acquaint yourself

      With lines unread;

      Explore the realms unknown.

      And you may find

      A paradise

      That may have

      Been untold.

      Dig down into

      Life’s emptiness

      And reap

      That which should

      Be sewn.

      And assemble facts

      Unknown to you to

      Pacify your mind.

      People who walk always looking down

      never see the tops of buildings

      Spring

      If green was not

      so ‘chlorophylled’

      From stems to tips

      Of leaves,

      Springs colors

      Would be ‘monotoned’

      Housed in the nature’s sleeves.

      Oh, how drab

      The grass would look

      If color was not there,

      So, without water and

      God’s touch,

      The ground would soon

      Be bare.

      Rejoice, the time

      Of year has come,

      The truth will

      Soon unfold.

      Praise God for His

      Almighty touch,

      His wonders we’ll behold.

      Rabbit Abbot

      There is a rabbit abbot

      Who lives up on the hill.

      He loves to talk of Godly ways

      Established by God’s will.

      He reads to us from Scripture verse

      Each and every day

      Reminding us to keep the Word

      Be thankful and to pray.

      Have faith in Jesus Christ our Lord

      This message He does bring,

      The story’s told in
