Now I don’t mean to sound so crass, But the world looks better through my glass. It puts a golden glow on all I see, When things aren’t what they should be. It offers me a better view, When I get to feelin’ blue. One more beer and I’ll be fine, Two or three wouldContinue reading “Bottom of My Glass”

Freedom’s Toll
The Bell of Freedom tolls no more, And no one knows what’s in store. Will they come for you or me? What happened to this land so free? Will our voices ne’er be heard? Must we parse every word? Though it seems this is the end, I wish you well my dear friend. LDT NovemberContinue reading “Freedom’s Toll”
The Age of Uncertainty
Karen an I are in the process of retrenching as we live out our remaining years while navigating troubled waters. We have recently arranged for in home care and assistance. Though a Godsend, we now find ourselves dipping into savings to get by. (Not to worry, barring an economic collapse, we should be fine.) WeContinue reading “The Age of Uncertainty”
Unbowed
A mournful bugle blows, For a soldier no one knows. Sent to foreign shores, To fight forgotten wars. The enemy on the flanks, With aero planes and tanks. The ammo running low, And nowhere left to go. They say he gave his all, Until the bastion’s fall. The white flag of surrender, Was the battle’sContinue reading “Unbowed”
Hollywood Marine

He proudly wore dress blues, And made the hometown news. Had some medals on his chest, One proved he was the best. Hollywood was not for him, AndContinue reading “Hollywood Marine”

Wendigo
The little Cree camp in the quiet valley hunkered down in fear. Somewhere out there it was watching them. Eyes that glowed red in the snowy moonlight. A gaunt apparition with limp skin sagging over its emaciated body. It was the worst of all fears. And the Wendigo was hungry. It was the middle ofContinue reading “Wendigo”

Music Box Magic
Music box, music box, take me away, Let me hear magic each time that you play. The cylinder turns with gears and with springs, Tickling the forks as the box sings. This little box is more than a toy, This little box brings out the joy. A tune we all love tinkles from it, WhateverContinue reading “Music Box Magic”
