WELL, THERE IS 'ONE' GOOD THING ABOUT THE DATE OF JANUARY 6TH

                                                                            

IT'S SOMEONE'S 

BIRTHDAY !!!




Happy b'day, Alison !!

Sure, they refer to themselves as 'PATRIOTS'

            


...but here's the very salient caveat:


The term 'PATRIOTS', as regards those who breached the Capitol building on 1-6-2021, is merely an acronym...and this is what it REALLY stands for!!!


Pathetically

Asinine,

Treasonous,

Reckless,

Idiotic,

Obsequious,

Trump

Supporters

               ....and, yes, Trump IS to blame for what happened on 1-6-2021; that said, we CAN'T bury the truth, we should NEVER bury the truth, and we WON'T  bury the truth !!!

'PACKING UP X-MAS':

                                                     

    A Post-Holiday Musing


No greens adorn the mantel-piece;

No garlands grace the walls;

The pantry shelves are bare once more,

I've swept and mopped the halls...



No longer are there sprigs of pine

To coax red embers bright;

No longer do the twinkling tails

Of small lights chase the night.




Great wreaths and candles,

Past their prime,

Re-line bespoken drawers;

The festive foil, made just for gifts,

Re-dresses attic floors...




Glass ornaments

Are packed with care,

The fir-tree stands 'at curb';

In one year's time

ALL will return:

Warm memories,

Un-disturbed...

2022: PENNING AN ODE TO A NEW YEAR ( A year of three 2s)

                                                                   



2020 was 'HELL',

So we braced ourselves well,

For a "Covid-cure",

Mid  '21...



But when that never happened,

Our brains looked to caption

Whatever seemed buoyant and fun...




Yet the past year  saw sickness

And shootings and riots;

('21 was no better than '20)...

When the ball descends

Times Square,

Just past midnight

(By one hair!),

It had better bring

Fortune, and plenty...


'22 will begin with

"The Mightiest Drop",

Kerplop! goes that ball:

Oh, Kerplop!!

Three 2s mark its "full name",

[ Perhaps that spells "good fame"],

But will luck put us back

AT  THE  TOP ?
