A Morning Laugh

Yesterday morning after finishing my breakfast, I asked my PSW (let's call her Juliet) for some help.

Meanwhile, M was still working on his breakfast while watching tv. He tried to change the channel on the remote control.

"Juliet, please help me stand up," I said.

"I don't think I can help you with that," replied Alexa.

Winter Scene and Classic Movie

Winter Scene


snow on hilly road

we watch cars slide back down it --

Moonrise

 not just a mirror

moon displays her lovely face

but hides her dark side


she rises to her zenith

a breeze pushes clouds away

Paradise Lost: Tanka for the Blue Jays

we came very close

although winning is better

we can still be proud


they had some great players and

we were tough competitors



"Can We Fix Our Nation's Broken Heart?"

 Found this new (to me) song by Stevie Wonder. He wrote it a year ago.
