Happy 16th Birthday Audrey!

Vol. 1   Chap. 539


Happy 16^th Birthday Audrey!!!

All My Life There’s Been This Sure Bet,

Don’t Ever Count Aud Out!  Not Yet!

Despite the Odds Stacked Against Her

Smart Money’s on My Brave Mentor!

She’s Not Ranked First in Ev’ry Class!

But My Sister is One Smart Lass!

Focused on Being a Doctor!

Once Her Mind’s Set, Nothing Stops Her!

Musically, She’s No Prodigy!

But What She Plays Sounds Great to Me!

The Work She Puts in Seals Her Fate!!

Last Year Her Band Won Best In State!

She’s Not the Strongest in the Nation!

Aud Wins on Determination!

Her Looks are Easy on the Eyes!

‘Neath Elegance, There Kindness Lies!

As Big Sisters Go, Aud’s the Best!

There’s Day’s I’ve Put Her to the Test!

Looking Back I’m Compelled to Say,

“I Love You, Sis!  Happy Birthday!”

           Happy Birthday Audrey!

The Deserted Desert Flood!

Vol. 1  Chap. 538


                The Deserted Desert Floor!

  On the Deserted Desert Floor,

  You Don’t Expect to See Much More

  Than Buzzards Fighting Over Strays

  That Now Have Met the End of Days!

  Don’t ‘Specs No Flora Flourishing!

  'Spect Scorpions are Nurishing

  Armored, Poisonous Bods Right Now!

  After All They Took Down That Cow!

  So Imagine Your Sheer Surprise

  When There, Before Your Very Eyes

  Sits, Midst Thorns, Precariously

  The Grandest Flower You’ll Ever See!

  Its Host, The Cactus Looks as Though

  He Got Here on a U.F.O.!

  That Explains How He Could Survive

  Heat That Can Cook Earthlings Alive!

  If Land This Close to Earthly Hell

  Can Render Tender Beauty, Well …

  You Think We Could Perhaps Create

  Works of Art While We Isolate?

What I'll Miss Most!

Vol. 1  Chap. 537

    What I’ll Miss Most!

     How Mom Does It I Just Don’t Know!

     I Feel She’s Looking at Me, So

     I Quick Glance Up to Catch Her Glare!

     But Mom’s Reading Without a Care!

     I’ve Tried Mom’s Trick, Watching Bella!

     Bagged Each Time, I Stammer, “Well, Ah”

     “You Might Think I was Staring, See …”

     That’s When All Excuses Leave Me!

     Me and Bella've Home Schooled Online!

     I Think We’ve Handled It Just Fine!

     Missed Friends!  Loved Sleeping Past  

     First Light!

     Schooling in P.J.s … That’s Alright!

     It’s Tense Knowing Folks Got So Sick!

     This Pandemic’s Done Nothing Quick!

     Pray That Mom and Medical Friends

     Stay Safe Til This Finally Ends!

     One Thing I’ve Found is Mostly True,

     When I Stay Calm, Bella’s Calm Too!

     All Day She’s Near Me, Touching Close!

     Once This Play’s Out, I’ll Miss That                 Most!

On No Level!

Vol. 1  Chap. 536

       On No Level!

On No Level Can I Relate

To Cold Hearts That Are Filled With Hate!

What Happened to George Floyd’s So Sad!

This Hate~Filled Crime Leaves Us All Mad!

On No Level Can I Abide

With Bold Looters Who Try to Hide

Greed and Opportunistic Theft

Behind Floyd’s Death, Like They’re Bereft!

The Enemy of Each Good Cop

Is Bad Cops!  Hatred Has to Stop!

Come On Folks!  There’s Children Viewing!

Want Them To Act Like You’re Doing?

Kids Aren’t Born With Hate or Bias!

Teach Them To Strive For the Highest

Values Us Humans Can All Share!

Foremost, Show Them We Must All Care!

On No Level Should We Relate

To Rioters or Cops Who Hate!

There’s Peaceful Protesters Out There!

There’s Thousands of Good Cops Who Care!

Your Grampa Sure Loves Y’All!
