I am writing this poem for the man on the right pointing his finger


The luncheon was huge
The table was full 
plates beautiful, deSSerts galore.
Food is a bore
when there is no  
Grey Poupon to 
be found in the store.

Mirror, Mirror on the wall
The lovely young woman looking at me
 was a shining light in her prime.
If we could speak, the tales 
we would share.
I'd tell her to enjoy each moment in time, 
not to rush the precious hours of her youth.
Time passes quickly, memories and the journey along the way

 are forever.

Thankful and Thoroughly Poetic Thursday #246

Today is Poetic Thursday hosted by our pals Teddy and Angel Sammy at

This week's photo challenge which is also my thankful




1967 I was a senior in high school
To quote a line from 
'Grease', it was my year to rule the school'!!!
Senior Class Marshall
Prom Committee, our advisor was my all time favorite teacher
Miss Kilby, Home Economics.
She needed volunteers...of course I raised my hand.
A bit too quickly it seems, she wanted three sets of parents to volunteer for Prom Chaperones.  
WHAT the heck my parents were going to my
PROM!!! so not cool.
The Parent volunteers were all teens in the 1940's the only activities
were dancing. This prom went on record as the best prom ever.
The chaperones turned in to dance teachers.
They taught us all how to Jitterbug we taught them how to do the Twist. 
Oh do I wish there had been pictures.  The dance floor was hopping.
I was so very THANKFUL to have such cool, fun parents. I knew they loved to dance but had never actually witnessed such fancy foot work.

Side Note:
My daddy was an electrical contractor.  He volunteered to do all the electrical work for the special prom light. It looked like a thousand tiny stars overhead.
It was just too COOL 
how they transformed the School.

In the summer,when it rains
Buddy and I get Muddy.
Mommy groans and moans about the mess
She is no old fuddy duddy 
She still says
Show me your best buddy, muddy, cuddly

This week's photo challenge 



One and 50 snowmen outstanding in a field
along comes (the wind they call) Mariah
who is full of hot air
She huffs and she puffs and they all fall down
No longer can they be seen standing out in the field.

New Year 2026
New Year 2026

My friends begged, "come have a few Bud Lights with us".
It is a new year, time to have fun.
There won't be too much fuss
If you have so many 'lights', that you weigh a ton
or are not sober,
No worries 
we'll call an Uber.

Twas Christmas day,
all thru the house
spirits were gay.
We squealed with delight to see what Santa delivered
on his sleigh.
BUTT
When we saw the gift from our parent's, 
it disrupted our day. 
Neither of us for this loud tike.
Maybe next year they will give us
