I burn my candle.

It shines bright, and true.

You will always know

there’s a light for you.

I’m available to dog sit.

Diet Pepsi is my price.

You needn’t offer money.

Diet Pepsi will suffice.

“Please be nice, young Vladimir.

Hold hands, and wait your turn.”

But, Putin’s not a nice boy.

So, Putin didn’t learn.

Sometimes I need a lullaby  —

a simple, soothing song.

Sometimes it takes a melody

to smooth my day along.

Sometimes it takes some gentle notes –

a quiet, soft refrain.

Sometimes it takes a lullaby

to make me whole again.

–

Sometimes I need a lullaby.

May this soft and gentle blessing

add sweet comfort to your day.

May its strength reach out to lift you

in your steps along the way.

No one knows what lies ahead.

No one knows tomorrow.

No one knows if hope will rise

or if we’ll look at sorrow.

We know that yesterday is past.

We heard what it did say.

We listen and we learn and plan….

we only have today.

Something eats my tulips.

I think it’s squirrels, because –

I’ve learned that squirrels think tulips

are their gift from Santa Claus.

I clicked upon a website:

“How to Deal With Tulip Ills.”

The advice was clear and simple:

“From now on, plant daffodils.”

I’ve figured and filed my income tax.

My return is in the bank.

It was a simple process.

I’ve got Turbo Tax to thank.

Just plug in this

and fill out that

and then you hit “continue”

and it goes on in steady steps

to spread another menu.

It’s OK here to estimate,

but there, you must be right.

Just follow their instructions

and they’ll wrap it nice and tight.

When the IRS is happy,

then, you’ll be happy, too.

With Turbo Tax it’s easy.

They do all the work for you.

The lullaby drifts through the wind.

Its song is in the trees.

The tune floats down the valley.

Its notes sail ‘cross the seas.

The lullaby is in your mind

as you lay down your head.

The lullaby’s sweet comfort

 spreads across your peaceful bed.
