They’re crowning their King Charles
and the pageantry is grand.
They’re having celebrations
everywhere across their land.
They’re filled with pomp and circumstance
and royal history,
and they set if off with great eclat
to dazzle you and me.
It’s a festive day in England
as they crown another king,
even ‘tho they must be wond’ring
what his Kingly Reign will bring.
A monarchy is not for us.
We fought to leave it there.
Still, we’re glad to wish them happy
In their Very Grand Affair.
I planted my petunias.
Joy! Hurrah!
It does appear that the ‘barrow’s rusty bottom will hold out another year!
May this day be filled with blessings.
May your heart be filled with song.
May each footstep bring contentment.
Every moment. All day long.
My giant rhododendron
wears her blossoms like a crown.
She hasn’t got a rival –
she’s the stateliest shrub in town.
My Fuzzy-Wuzzy Flip-Flop mop
has changed my attitude.
With my bright pink fuzzy wuzzy mop,
I’m a Kitchen-Cleaning-Dude!
I bought a Fuzzy-Wuzzy Flip-Flop mop
to clean the kitchen floor.
A bright pink fuzzy-wuzzy mop
sure lightens up the chore.
Thanks, TJ Maxx!
May this whole day go well for you.
May all your words be kind.
And when you drift away to sleep,
may blessings fill your mind.
Help me be patient.
Help me be kind.
Help me be giving today.
Help me be thoughtful.
Help me be wise.
Help me find hope on the way.
It used to be the children could
discern the truth from lies.
“Liar, liar, pants on fire”
rang out in school yard cries.
The grown-ups now have learned to lie —
dissemble, cheat, and steal.
And now it’s very hard to tell
the made-up from what’s real.
Ev’ry day I think about
what I should be and do.
And when I think about it,
I decide to be like you!
