HOLIDAY DAYS

HOLIDAY DAYS

 

We’re saddened by time progressing,

In many ways the world is regressing…

Getting darker in spirit,

Every day you hear it

As one or another hero’s been caught messing.

–

We look for the future to come,

Remembering lost loved ones…

We try to go on

Dawn after dawn,

With hope that sometimes is done.

–

So many older folks have died

This year that we’ve been occupied…

With cherishing the few

Who muddle through,

Or at least we can say that we’ve tried.

–

For those who believe there is hope,

Not depending on booze or dope…

Our Lord saves

Through all high waves,

And givies us the joy to cope.

A SUPPER SILLY

A SUPPER SILLY

 

Cold coffee and fruit

Is all I have to eat…

Didn’t have convenient bread,

Even less, any meat.

–

I’d like to order out

But I cannot spend a lot…

I remember stuff I could have brought

But this is all I’ve got.

–

Don’t need to pull out money,

I’m near an ATM…

Perhaps I’ll muddle through somehow

And eat at home, shift’s end!
