The Stilly’s way, way

over its banks.

The water keeps on rising.

The locals say ‘twas times like this

made Noah enterprising.

I roll around upon the floor

to do my exercises.

This work my body doth ignore.

It never loses sizes.

We moved to the 100-Acre-Drive

and I looked for Winnie the Pooh!

— Looked all around!

— Not to be found!

—What was I to do?

So, I stopped in my tracks

and I did relax

with a moment of fun and laughter.

And we settled down

in this part of town

to live Happy Ever  After.

“Butterflies and Forget-Me-Nots.”

The books are fin’lly here!

I can hold them in my very hands.

It’s the best day of this year.

Today I sing a lullaby.

its notes float through the air.

I sing this gentle song for you –

to tell you that I care.

Pixie dust and fairy rings.

Fam’ly, friends, and a heart that sings.

Laughter ev’ry where you go…

We celebrate the Big Nine-O!

Help us find wisdom.

Help us find peace.

Help us find ways to relate.

Help us find courage.

Help us find love.

Help us find ways through this hate.

Today, I got a lollipop from a clerk

inside a store.

(I’m a little old for lollipops.

I don’t buy them anymore.)

But, a smiling clerk was off’ring them

as she stood right by the door.

What a warm and friendly way it was

to bring Christmas to their store.

Today’s a day for thankfulness….

for kindness…and for giving.

We’re thankful for all those we know

who make our lives worth living.

I feel quite thankful for what I‘ve got.

There’s more to be thankful for than not.
