Vater, padre, pa,
Or by any other name,
You’re honored today.

Thanks for all you’ve done.
Ev’ry day is a blessing
With you in our life.

Grill man, dishwasher,
Among other roles you play;
Happy Father’s Day!

Delayed Reaction

/ Karina Pinella / 12 Comments

Sweaty and winded,
Greeted with closed boarding gate,
Missed connecting flight.

Re-routing given,
This time a two-hour delay;
Murphy’s Law gone wild.

Frazzled since midnight
Checked-in carry-on is lost,
Along with my mind.

Still Young

Once alive and well,

Full of hope and a future.

Now the young are still.

(May those who perished from the Manchester bombing rest in peace and their families find comfort. My condolences to them.)

Is that cabbage between your teeth? Guinness on the breath? Corned beef dancing on your lip? Join the parade and get thee to the pub to celebrate . . .

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Following King

United we rule
Divided we fail,
We the people control
Whether we sink or set sail.

Listen to Martin Luther King’s wise call:
“We must live together as brothers or perish together as fools.”

Christmas Cheer Redux for the New Year

[Thanks to TikBoy for the music and Cabana Boy for the video]

Ho, ho, ho,
Once again the three-chick trio,
The same Christmas rap encore,
But with a brand new musical score.

What was shown before.

Here’s to Christmas cheer
All through the New Year.

 Happy New Year!

Over the Moon

Jewel in the sky
Against the velvet of night,
Beauteous full moon.

Under light so bright,
The madness of a full moon
Makes fools fall in love.

It’s a supermoon
11/13/16
Through tomorrow morn.
