Celebrate

The end is nearly here,
But we should have no fear.
     Celebrate great times.
     Hear the midnight chimes.
Have a Happy New Year!

Black Friday

I have a headache.

Tomorrow, cheesecake.

I only had one nap.

Skyped with baby on my lap.

I ate good food.

In a nice mood.

Need some sleep.

Baby; not a peep.

Getting stuff done.

Pleasing the hon and son.

Tomorrow, Black Friday.

A cause for mayday.

I won't have to bake.

Yes, cheesecake!

Turkey Day!

Today's a day when family and friends unite.
All are pleased by a generous invite.
Some arrive by car and some arrive by flight.
Kids play in snow that is powdered and white.
They pretend to duel as a ninja and a knight.
Yet, down here, kids avoid a sun that is way too bright.
Everyone anticipates that first turkey bite.
They gather around the fireplace for heat and ambient light.
They sing songs and sometimes fight.
They work together to assemble dinner with every last creative might.
The turkey fits in the oven, even though the squeeze is tight.
Some play board games and grant life or smite.
Some play trivia games and declare who's wrong or right.
Dinner is served and everyone's faces show delight.
Giving thanks is the child with the smallest height.
Some request a cold zero-calorie Sprite.
The chefs ask how good the food is; the guests answer "quite!"
All say thanks and show they can be polite.
Full bellies make everyone tired so they all say "good night!"
Another year goes by and everyone is alright.
Happy Thanksgiving! Enjoy its taste, touch, smell, sound, and sight!

Thank you, Veterans!

Fellow citizens volunteer to go to war.
This is no simple chore.
They fight so that we can be the greatest nation on earth.
They see terrible things so that the American Dream has higher worth.
They lose arms and legs, and get hit with shrapnel to the heart.
They come home with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and fall apart.
They see friends lose their life.
Some struggle at home with guns or a knife.
They don't receive the help they need.
Some even end up on the streets, unable to feed.
We should help our veterans. It's the right thing to do.
At the very least, tell a veteran, thank you.

Four More Years!

To finish what was started, we have four more years.
America is still here to alleviate some fears.
Jobs will continue to be added.
Americans' pocketbooks will be padded.
Education will be fixed.
Obamacare won't be nixed.
Same-sex rights measures will not lose.
Women will retain the right to choose.
We'll continue to have the strongest military of any nation.
Hurricane relief will go to the New England people and restore the subway station.
Green energy will be our future.
Obama will continue to mend and suture.
In each of these ideals, he has created hope.
If you voted and lost, you did your civic duty; so please don't mope.
Here's to another four years of progress.
Here's to another four years of success!

Election Day!

Today is the day to get out and vote.
This is an important day I must note.
Hopefully, we'll find out soon who's our next president;
Who will for the next four years be the White House resident.
Whoever you vote for, ensure that you know the issues.
If you don't vote, there won't be any sympathy tissues.
Get out and vote for Republicans.
Go back in time to relive Bush plans.
Get out and vote for Democrats.
Move forward on progress with proven stats.
Get out and vote for the candidate of your choice.
If you don't vote, you will have lost your voice.
Empowered are not those whom are chatters.
Power is voting, because every vote matters.

Superstorm Sandy

Superstorm Sandy

Some are saying this is the perfect storm.
Yet, there are those who will not conform.
Some will play. Some won't get out.
In her wake she has left devastation throughout.
A wall of water is converging on large cities.
She does not care about babies or kitties.
Her wind is enough to lift boats in the air.
Skyscrapers are showing wear and tear.
A construction crane dangles by a thread.
It will fall any moment, allowing the destruction to spread.
The neighborhoods are combed by sharks.
Muddy brown lakes were once luscious green parks.
Inland, her wizardry sparks a blizzard.
Her reach wriggles into the subway, like a lizard.
The electricity is cut off.
The plumbing is shut off.
Eat canned food. Fresh food will spoil.
Need plenty of lighter oil and water to boil.
Days and days go by with no help in sight.
Eventually, aid comes to those who fight.
Sadly, life is taken from far too many.
Have we learned from this superstorm any?
