WHERE MY WIFE’S PEOPLE ARE

If I were to build a train

Layout in my wife’s name…

The Adirondacks

Would supply facts,

So she’d have a familiar game.

Running the D&H,

North Creek Branch  her favored page…

Sawmills and mines,

Hotels all kinds,

During her coming of age!

SARAH WITH AN “H”

SARAH WITH AN “H”

Th eye doctor has a jewel

Called Sarah with an “H”…

A redhead I remember from last year

Who has many positive traits!

Her folks from Lancaster county, PA,

And she lived up near Cooperstown..

She knows on the map where Binghamton is,

All places I’ve been around.

Found out that she likes poetry

and was willing to take a look…

At a blog (this one!) she just learned about

And on Thursday, she’ll receive my book.

How pleasant she is–professional too–

Shifting patients with caring and grace…

I’d be honored to be under her care

When next I visit the place!

EXPORTING DREAMS—GINGER CREAMS

EXPORTING DREAMS—GINGER CREAMS

Came home from Upstate New York,

With much that would fill a fork…

Including home-made

Cookies we parade,

To eat them all would be dork!

Molasses and brown sugar full,

Exerts an awfully strong pull…

On two diabetics

And their diuretics,

Their self-control’s covered by wool.

So export those cookies ‘real quick’

Before these folks get sick….

Of eating this cooking

So sweet and good-looking,

Making diets difficult to stick!
