Morning comes and shoos away
the vestiges of night.
It brings us all Eternal Hope
that life will be all right.

March Weather
March is angry.
Weather’s cold.
Keeps on raining.
That gets old.
Days are dreary –-
dull and gray.
Glad that April’s
on her way.
Blessings
May Blessings keep you safe today.
May Blessings fill your air.
May Blessings lift your heart with light
and shield you with their care.
Sleep Well
Sleep well tonight
in your warm bed.
On this soft pillow,
rest your head.
Requiem for a Country
My soul needs to mourn.
Needs to grieve.
Needs to cry.
My mind needs an answer.
It needs to know:
Why?
New Diet
Stay out of the choc’late.
Stay out of the nuts.
Stay out of the kitchen.
Don’t eat the cold cuts.
Avoid all the pastas,
linguini, and such.
Nibble on plain food,
but don’t eat too much.
Abandon indulgence.
Abandon the wine.
Throw out the salt shaker.
Some spices are fine.
Don’t buy guacamole.
Don’t buy salty chips.
Don’t let creamy ice cream
get past your closed lips.
Give up all the pleasure
of food that tastes good,
and substitute meals
more like cardboard and wood.
On this brand new diet
you’re sure to lose weight.
It’s built all around
all those foods that you hate.
Oreos
When life is feeling grimly,
you can try this little trick.
It won’t resolve the problems,
but you’ll find relief quite quick.
Just eat a bag of Oreos
and very soon you’ll find
that the luscious taste of Oreos
has soothed your troubled mind.
Oreo Lovers Umite!
My Candle
My candle burns
for all to see.
It burns for you.
It burns for me.
It burns for hope.
It burns for light.
It burns for truth.
It burns for right.
Nice Things
Butterflies and rainbows.
Red geraniums in pots.
Fairy rings and pixie dust.
Pale blue forget-me-nots.
Medical Care 2025
I went to the clinic.
It’s clear to see:
they do not give a whit
about me.
But on one thing,
they sure agree.
I’m a Very Fine
Billable Entity!
