The ice and snow are melting fast.
I can get out to the street at last!
I’d stay inside till I feel a bit fitter…
but I’m ‘bout to run out of kitty litter.

Democracy faltered in ’21.
The country stumbled, but struggled on.
A rage of hate engulfed our nation.
COVID added its consternation.
The future’s murky.
It’s hard to see…
Will we still have freedom?
…and liberty?
Snowbound: 15 days
An Elf danced by with Pepsi.
What a boost to lift my day!
‘Twas better than a Christmas gift
tossed out from Santa’s sleigh!
The world is looking up for me.
This ice is near the end.
And all is well inside my house
with Pepsi as my friend!
Post-COVID People Shortage
Unemployment rate: 4.2%
Before we had COVID,
there were people galore.
There were teachers in classrooms.
Clerks clerked in the store.
There used to be plumbers
to plug up the leaks,
and snappy Park Rangers
patrolling our peaks
There were folks who ran pawn shops
and cops on the beat.
There were men driving big trucks
to sweep up the street.
There were nurses and mailmen
and men who plowed snow.
There used to be People.
Where did they go?
.
Snowbound
It’s eleven days that I’ve been inside.
It’s a world of ice and snow.
A St. Bernard with a Pepsi
would relieve the Status Quo…
2022
Happy New Year, Ev’ry One!
May life bring Joy to you….
with Health and Wealth and Happiness
in Twenty-Twenty Two!
2021
Good-by to you, Year ’21.
You weren’t a year of bright and fun.
Wracked by COVID. Filled with woe.
No one’s sad to see you go.
Puget Sound Snow
December rain has turned to snow
all ‘round the Puget Sound.
Outside, instead of puddles and pools,
there’re inches of snow around.
We aren’t strangers to the rain,
but, the snow’s a diff’rent matter.
We’re used to soggy clothes and feet.
But our teeth don’t us’lly chatter.
My Brand New Furnace
Last Spring I bought a furnace.
It seemed a little dumb.
Who needs a brand new furnace
with hot summer months to come?
But, frigud cold and piled up snow
have chased away our rain.
I’m in a warm and comfy house.
I LUV my brand new Trane.
December Snow
A blanket of snow’s spreading out cross the city.
It’s shimmering white. I’ll admit: it looks pretty!
But, I can’t go out when the snow gets this deep.
My driveway is long. The climb is quite steep.
I have enough food. That’s not what I’d buy….
I’d like to replenish my Pepsi supply.
