For what shall I
give thanks?
There are many to list.
childhood pranks
that my family exists
good food
good health
a happy mood
plenty of wealth
loving husband
healthy children
living in this land
places I've been
so not just tomorrow
but each and every day
I will be sure to borrow
a life of living in a grateful way

can't borrow a rhyme
my daughter wrote
a great rhyme yesterday
but she won't give me the
chance to put it on display
I asked if I could post
it here on this blog
but she said no and
left my brain in a fog
she began another ditty
that I could put up here
but I guess I've since forgotten
it or here it would appear

mispellings
mispellings
abound within
this rhime
and noone
will even give
me the thyme
once I spelled
something amis
with no notis
but noone was
there to keep
me strait
and so then
I new this
blog's wait
was pretty low
on the list
of must reeds
so I thout
I would see
what it kneads
maybe spelling
will keep it
afloat
or maybe it
will be its
sinking bote

going to the fair
going to the fair
leaving behind
each care
leaves room for fun
knowing it has
just begun
walking through
the midway
time flew
seeing each sight
smelling the foods
everything's right
the prices all too high
but free fun too
before long, saying good bye

watching tv with my teens
I don't much like
to watch tv
but I know there are things
my kids want to see
they are getting old enough now
that it's hard to refuse
so I feel like if I watch with them
we don't all lose
watching together brings out
good discussions
about characters, their actions
and the repercussions
it's nice to have them listen
and also hear what they say
so I feel like watching tv
isn't such a waste of day

noble endeavor failed
looking to a novel
to explain how I feel
may not be healthy
and may be unreal
but it shows the emotion
and taps the root
of what is in my heart
even if it's moot
I cry out like the
doctor who created
and then let him go-
the created's will was sated
but in the end
nothing but sadness
ruled over everyone-
no closure other than madness

5 am exercise class
starting the day
at five o'clock
makes one weary-
and something to talk
about with neighbors
and on the blog
but is it really best
to get up and slog
down to the Y
to join the crazy
folks who make it too-
at least don't call us lazy!
