Poem for the week:

2020

by Bob

Our decade just past, is fading fast,
The new year is soon arriving;
Our thoughts peer ahead, with joy--or with dread
For a new shot at growing and thriving.

So here’s a big horse
And his human who rhymes;
Who’ve talked things over
At this holiday time.

Carrots are good,
Clean water and hay;
Though for a sapiens type
It’s three squares a day.

Kindness never goes out of style
Neither does strength, or sharing;
Or thoughts about others
Along with true heartfelt caring.

Listening, it’s been said
Is rare and under-rated;
But talking without pause
Is a tedious trait—and really rather dated.

Funny jokes are good
Even puns or shaggy dog tales;
Complaints and remorse are a dreary fare
They very quickly become a bit stale.

Good chow’s a big hit
Never goes out of favor;
A table of friends
Will improve most flavors.

Adventures are grand
Usually thrilling to boot;
If all parties survive them
Their recall’s a hoot.

The trail ahead, as always, is uncertain
Only an end can be figured for sure;
But until then, with good friends,
Even hardships dire can be endured.

So it’s tally ho, let’s all go
To the chase in the oncoming year;
And to all who read this, best wishes
We’ll send, along with a toast of good cheer.
