The smell of coffee,
orange marmalade sunrise,
and the meadowlark's song
imbue my thankful heart
with happiness.

I am very sick
so I have to lick
my snot
from upper lip quick
or it gets too thick
with clot,
and then I just flick
the boogers I pick.
So what?

We say grace and give thanks
for blessings we are about to receive.

Then, Grandpa picks up knife and fork
and starts to carve the roasted turkeys
to serve with all the fixings--
candied yams, cranberry sauce, dressing
for all those in need
down at the church.

On the eleventh day of November,
we take a moment to remember
the sacrifices that our soldiers made
with bands and flags and veterans on parade.

High school students march with horns a-tooting,
while crowd along the street is saluting.

Then, the backyard barbecues commence,
hosted by patriotic residents.

The gentle creaking of Grandpa's rocking chair
sings a song of cozy contentment,
while aromas from the kitchen
speak of Grandma's pumpkin pie
baking in the oven,
delivering holiday cheer.

Heroes, each and every one,
On a mission to protect our freedom,
Never faltering, never wavering.
Obeying command to go,
Regardless of risk or cost,
Imparting our sacred values,
Navigating global maze,
Giving notice to the enemy.

Over and over again,
Undaunted courage
Responds to threats.

Vigorous defender of liberty,
Exercising constant vigilance,
Trained to meet any challenge,
Endowed with best equipment,
Resolute attitude,
Addressing every mission,
Night and day without fail,
Serving our nation with honor.

Welcome to my writing nook
beside the babbling brook!

I pause to gather my thoughts here,
where life goes by in lower gear,
communicating with the birds,
translating their songs into words.

Deer and squirrels come around
where peace and quiet abound.

We sail the distant seas,
complying with Commander's orders,
so we can minimize
the threat which lurks beyond our borders.

Through all kinds of weather,
we take the fight to them to ensure
the future will not bring
another Nine-Eleven massacre.

We are itching to
explore something new,
when August seduces us
with pleasant weather.
We leave together
in tie-dyed Volkswagen bus.

There's nothing finer
than roadside diner
to meet and greet local folks,
linger for a while
and share friendly smile
beneath sprawling ancient oaks.

Charming episodes
along country roads
give relaxing getaway
special energy--
so happy to be
on our way to Santa Fe!

We are having a sweltering heat wave,
and Mom is burning to a crisp, poor thing.
She sits beside the pool with drink in hand
while her skin gets red and blistered, poor thing.

We are staying cool while swimming in pool,
unaware of Mom's dilemma, poor thing.
Come time to leave, we find her shriveled corpse,
still sitting there with drink in hand, poor thing.
