Thank God, it's election day

It’s election day, hooray! In a few hours we’ll know which party carried the day, and whose faithful get to crow. Best of all, whether you cheer, or need a cry in a beer: no more campaign lies to hear till the next election year! For today, that’s all I’ll say. Sign in to see full entry.

Inspiration

Young, smiling faces, One, two, three, and four, Like little rays of sunshine Lighting up my days and nights, Making me thankful for life, For staying the course From youthful dreams Through advancing age. Have four bright little souls Been worth all the trials, The roadblocks and failures, The... Sign in to see full entry.

Boo! Happy Halloween all you ghouls and ghosties, witches and goblins.

Scariest costumes of all? None of the above apall like ginning masks of McCain, or Sara Palin, the pain. That pair as Prez and V. P. would scare the hell out of me. Okay, my politics show a little in that bit of holiday fluff. But what fun is Halloween if we can’t poke a little fun at something... Sign in to see full entry.

The Monday morning anthem of red-blooded American youngsters

Saturday, Sunday, another weekend done… can’t wait till Friday. First it was Friday that signaled the end of a week of drudgery in school, to be followed by a weekend of fun. Then it was Friday equals payday and the money that made it possible to afford another weekend of fun. Somewhere, between the... Sign in to see full entry.

?

Autumn’s first day foreshadows changes to come as time and seasons march on. Life, too, inexorably travels forward to its next stage, whether we wish it, or not. Time and the seasons wait for no one, so march on, live on. Embrace the flow of seasons and savor life’s mysteries while there is still... Sign in to see full entry.

Pit bulls, pigs, lipstick and other political matters of import

“You can put lipstick on a pig, but a pig’s still a pig,” they tell us, Porky’s Petunia and Kermit’s dear Miss Piggy to the contrary. Lipstick on pit bulls? I’ll buy that on the same day I can watch pigs fly. I may be a few days behind the latest political headlines here, but I can’t help getting... Sign in to see full entry.

Seven years ago today...

Seven years ago the twin towers tumbled down, decimated by terrorists in a plot as horrendous as another day of infamy: December 7, 1941. Three score and seven years ago the greatest generation was angered, retaliated, and prevailed in a great conflict against forces of oppression and evil. Seven... Sign in to see full entry.

Glory Hallelujah! Can I get an “Amen!” brothers and sisters?

Runnin’ out of inspiration and drippin’ with perspiration from workin’ so very hard to be a Top Twenty-five bard. What the hell am I doin’ strivin’ for high rankin’? Why not just say screw it, cause I’m notapoet? Of course nothing could be further from the truth than these few lines. If any of my... Sign in to see full entry.

Cyclic, or more derivative drivel from your own notapoet

Ella Fitzgerald Sang “Hard Hearted Hannah,” the Vamp from Savannah. Ray Charles reprised it, And now there’s a tropical Storm named “Hanna,” too. I’d prepared a post on the song complete with a few lines from the lyrics and a little commentary, but decided at the last moment to post it as an entry... Sign in to see full entry.
