Technology is not my friend.
We do not get along.
I think I should “intuit”
but I must “intuit” wrong.

Easter Eggs
I used to color Easter eggs
to decorate my table.
But now with the high cost of eggs,
to waste them….i’m not able.
Income Taxes 2024
I’ve just returned my taxes.
Well, I didn’t really do it.
I had to have a proxy fill the
tax forms from Intuit.
But we used a nifty product
that is now called Turbo Tax.
I’m sky high on that product
and I praise it to the max.
“Go get this form.” “No, don’t use that.”
“Now double check just where you’re at.”
They guide you through the process,
though it really isn’t fun.
Tonight I’m here to celebrate
because the Damned Thing’s Done!
Girl Scout Cookies
It’s Girl Scout cookie time again!
I love those shining faces.
I love those cheery, friendly smiles,
sometimes with awkward braces.
I love to choose some cookies,
pass some cash, and take some change.
Whatever the transaction,
it will be a fair exchange.
I love to know that kids still work
and play and plan in groups.
My day just got much happier
because of Girl Scout troops.
I leave the cookie table
knowing I have done my part,
to help these kids who reach right out
and tangle up my heart.
Morning Hope
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.
