Friday Writings # 133 ...Poets and Storytellers United

 eight weeks 

till spring

eight weeks of

beanies

bed socks

scarves

coats

frost on the windows

coughing and sneezing

(no one wears masks)

even the chooks

have caught the flu

as for the flies midges and mozzies

they're keeping their powder dry

 resting up in preparation

for the summer onslaught

and to top it all off

saw the Biden / Trump debate

knew that was a mistake

the only solution

 


cuddle a cat

or even a person

by the fire

drink hot chocolate

and pray

to a sane and merciful 

GOD

  1. I didn't watched the live debate. Didn't think I could survive it. This morning proved that even the bits shared on NPR with commentary weren't safe. What a sad state of affairs.

    I shall keep my thoughts on steel cut oats, hot chocolate (in front of the fan), and fresh fruit.

  3. I do NOT watch debates. I do NOT pay any attention to polls. I said from day one, Biden needed to NOT run for reelection. So there. I am sitting at my desk trying to imagine frosty cold. While dreading the prospect of it come late October. Cheers. [I DO vote.]

    1. I would vote for Harry the Horse rather than Trump. It is still mind boggling to me that someone like him could have ever been nominated as a candidate for the Presidency let alone become the President....Good luck Helen ! ...Rall

  4. Biden or Trump? Either way we're doomed.

  7. I'll hug my dog, and ignore the five wasted minutes of watching the debate.

  8. This mortal life is so precarious, all anyone can ever do is pray!
