Don't blow out candles on the cake,
Consider first
The Wish you make.
Take a breath,
And think things through,
Sometimes Wishes
DO come true!
Happy Birthday Linda!

Here comes another New Year’s Eve,
A time to cheer and a time to grieve.
Regardless of your circumstance,
A new year brings a second chance.
The future is a mystery,
But the prologue is your history.
So ponder all the days gone by,
Every who, what, where & why.
But don’t get lost down memory lane,
Tomorrow’s coming like a runaway train.
Happy New Year!

Thank you Pat! You probably don't remember me from the one class we were in together. (Don't remember which one!) I remember you as being one of the smartest and nicest people at West.

Over the river and through the wood,
Arriving on time the way we should,
Proper etiquette is understood,
When we celebrate Thanksgiving!
We get together once a year,
For football games and drinking beer,
Two traditions we hold dear,
When we celebrate Thanksgiving!
We gather friends and family around,
A glorious feast meant to astound,
For joy and laughter doth abound,
When we celebrate Thanksgiving!
So always remember & never forget,
The love you give is the love you get,
So give your Thanks without regret,
When we celebrate Thanksgiving!
Happy Birthday Larry!
How did we get so OLD?! Hope you had a great day...
Happy Birthday Jim!
Hope you're enjoying the slow march toward decrepitude.
Or, in my case, not so slow.
Have a blast!
thank you so much! Wonderful hearing from you Susan. Hope everything is better than great!

Nice to hear from you! Glad you liked it. Yes, it's original, but I'm retired so I've got plenty of time.
Hope your new year really is a delight!

AMERICAN BLUES
Reflections On A Riot
We should have seen it coming,
This Yankee grifter’s con,
Trump never wanted ‘President,’
His goal was ‘Genghis Don.’
He’s a twisted psychopath,
Who lies without abatement,
But without a moral compass,
Rock bottom has sub-basements.
He’s hunkered in a bunker now,
And never wants to leave,
Joe crushed him in a landslide,
But still he can’t concede.
While Covid-19 rages on,
Killing thousands everyday,
Donnie can’t be bothered,
“I’ve got more golf to play!”
Now millions of Americans,
No longer have a job,
Peter’s broke and so is Paul,
There’s no one left to rob.
“There was wide-spread voter fraud,”
– Though evidence is diddly –
“I’m the victim and I’m sure,
“That I won rather bigly.”
So he summoned all his lemmings,
Those whacky cracker backers,
To overthrow the Capitol,
And execute the slackers.
America has been torn apart,
Without a rhyme or reason,
Trump’s denying everything,
But should be tried for treason.
Don could stem the madness now,
Begin to clear the air,
Admit there was no voter fraud,
And Joe won fair and square.
We must start to heal the wounds,
Earn back each other’s trust,
For we have met the enemy,
And the enemy is us.

WHATEVER NEW YEAR!
2020 was horrific,
And we’re glad it’s at an end,
Not too much to celebrate,
Since life went round the bend.
Covid was a killer
We could avoid with one small task,
But people wearing seat belts
Refused to wear a mask.
Now millions of Americans
No longer have a job,
Millions more are stuck at home
Living like a slob.
But just when we were at the end
Of our collective rope,
Vaccines gave the whole wide world,
A massive dose of hope.
Perhaps we can indulge ourselves,
In a bit of New Year’s fun,
And hope for just a little better,
2021.
Happy Birthday, David! Have a great celebration!!!!

MERRY FLORIDA CHRISTMAS!
It’s Christmas time in Florida and Santa’s coming soon,
To land his sleigh among the palms that sway between the dunes.
He tweets with all his Facebook friends, #OldSaintNick,
And merged his List with Google maps because he must be quick.
His red fur suit is toasty warm, the frozen Pole is bleak,
Down south he dons Bermuda shorts and a festive shirt très chic.
While children dream of new iPhones this still and silent night,
Santa’s magic reindeer fly at twice the speed of light.
But wherever Santa finds you under palms or drifts of white,
Have a very Merry Christmas, may the New Year bring delight!

A short Happy Thanksgiving poem:
It’s time to carve the turkey and mash potatoes, too,
Bake apple pies and pumpkin pies,
OH! – When’s the company due?!
So at this hectic time of year with so much left to do,
Before the feast, to say the least,
We’re thankful, most, for you.
Don't y'all eat too much, and GO BILLS!
Happy Birthday, Dave! Hope it 's a great one! I have lost your email address . . . if you still have mine, please let me know!
At the risk of repeating myself, HAPPY BIRTHTDAY!
I posted another comment, which may have wound up in digital heaven, but I'll go ahead and repeat:
Is it me or is time actually accelerating?
Must be me... Enjoy your special day!!
Happy Birthday Linda!
Is it me or is time actually accelerating?

Happy Birthday Linda!
The big Seven-Oh! Who'd a thunk it?
If I knew I was going to live this long I would have taken better care of myself.
Sorry I didn't get around to writing a birthday limerick this year - creativity definitely on the wane.
Hope you had a blast!
