You’ll hit the Jackpot!

You’re a Winner!

Wallet’s fatter!

Hips are thinner!

Boss is gone and

traffic’s flowing!

Kids behaving!

Grass quit growing!

Bingo!

Let the Night

Let the dark come gentle on us –

let the night drift in.

Let soft slumber overtake us.

Let our dreams begin.

Thoughts

Live a little.

Love a lot.

Do your best with what you’ve got.

Try your best to understand.

Walk in peace across the land.

Our success depends on whether

we can learn to live together.

Election 2026

We’re going to the polls to vote!

We’ll Turn the Rascals Out!

But I’m afraid, to my chagrin,

we’re voting other rascals in.

Most folks are decent.

Most are kind.

Most want to live in peace.

Most want to live in harmony

that lies within our reach.

What If?

What if ev’ry person balks

and we just don’t roll back our clocks?

What if we just say “Too Bad!”

and we all keep the time we’ve had?

What if?

Halloween

It’s spookie time.

It’s Halloween.

The ghosts and goblins prowl.

And somewhere in the darkness,

lurking werewolves raise a howl.

And jostling on my lighted porch,

in costumes, head to feet,

my laughing little neighbors

lift their bags for Trick or Treat.

Happy Halloween!

My Candle is Burning

My candle’s burning –

constant and true –

always sending my love to you.

Blessing

I send this blessing to bring you peace,

and hold you through the night,

and solace you and comfort you

until tomorrow’s light.
