Happy 13th Birthday, Isabelle!

Happy 13th Birthday, Isabelle! 

 

 

I’m Told I Started as a Child 

Though I Recall a Rather Wild 

And Bumpy, Scary, Urgent Ride 

That Wrenched Me from the Warmth Inside! 

 

The Route was Hard! The Journey Far! 

Lights, Camera, Action, I’m the Star! 

Where are My Lines? I’ll Improvise! 

Get Those Bright Lights Out of My Eyes! 

 

I Recognize Big Sister’s Voice! 

I Lean Toward Her … My First Great Choice! 

So Calm, Soft Spoken, Protective, 

She Promises to Help Me Live 

 

Outside the Womb! So Far She’s Good! 

Thirteen Years Later and I Should 

Say My Days Mostly Turned Out Nice 

If I Employed Her Sage Advice! 

 

Through the Years as I’ve Grown Older, 

Aud’s Guiding Hand On My Shoulder 

Gently Steered, Redirected Me! 

Helped Me Be the Best I Can Be! 

Happy 13th Birthday, Teenager Isabelle! 

 

Your Grampa Sure Loves Y’All! 

 

Love~Grampa 

David and Goliath!

 

Vol. 1  Chap. 627

 

David and Goliath! 

 

 

In Church We Learned About David 

And Goliath, Filled with Hatred! 

“How Dare a Boy Stand Up to Me! 

“I’ll Kill Him Most Horribly!” 

 

Now History Repeats Itself! 

After Putin Vowed for the Twelfth 

Time He Would Not Attack Ukraine! 

He Lied Repeatedly! It’s Plain 

 

That Mad~Man Holed Up In Moscow 

Thought He’d Have Conquered Them By Now! 

But Ukraine Showed They’ve Got Back~Bone! 

Took On the Red Giant Alone! 

 

By Doing So They’ve Shown the World 

Once Ukraine’s Flag Has Been Unfurled 

And They’re Forced to Set Peace Aside, 

Russia’s In for a Bloody Ride! 

 

Russia’s a World~Scorned Pariah! 

Ukraine’s No Part of Their Empire! 

As They Fight for Independence, 

Pray Putin’s Fragged by Lieutenants! 

 

Your Grampa Sure Loves Y’All! 

 

Love~Grampa
