There once was a man named Don

All ignorant people he won

He lied even cheated

Could not be defeated

And now we’re all suffering sons.

Offered up, a bunch of fluff

Not the real creamy honesty we need

But a white lie hoping to temporarily soothe

Stripes, stars, red white blue

Under pressure as always

Still glorious sight

Snow cover melting

New buds think spring is coming

From the cold they shrink

For this week I choose an emotional song I heard on the car radio years ago. When I was a young mother of three, I could understand well the feelings expressed here. Carrie Underwood singing “Jesus, Take the Wheel”.

Traveling from Albany, New York which I flew to, to Tampa, Florida for our dad’s wedding was quite an adventure. Some of us had never been out of New England and going through the southern states like Georgia was a long road to hoe.

Although traveling in a crowded car doesn’t really boost your appetite, we decided to stop at a diner for breakfast. I was used to the southern accent but my sisters were not. The waitress yelled our orders to the back where the cook stood and we had to keep ourselves stifled as our tired giggling took over when she reported, “Aigs, ovuh wayell, and greits?” Grits also an unknown, but ordered them. Biscuits and gravy were delicious!

A lot of adventure in this trip as four (separated by distance) grown women were suddenly thrown together in close quarters for a week or so. It seemed longer. Oh the stories. . .😄

As a teenager, the town diner was my favorite place to eat Sunday dinner with my folks.

Proving again what a flake he is, gathered to meet the press today, trying to turn and twist the wheel one more time in his favor. The phrase, “I had no idea, I didn’t know”, etc. rang out again. Medical experts sad with the thought their advice was not listened to. The teachers of the world sigh, hearing “We’ve never had this experience before” as his lack of knowledge and history tread on the graves of our elders. Will there be a ping of brain power, or must we all fall under this break in leadership?

“I don’t know why I was surprised every time love started or ended.”

It could have been those eyes, or the always ready smile, friendly attitude or personality. All or even one summoned me to your side. I was already in love, with someone else I knew well or so I thought. Distance does alter things, I advise you to be warned. Circumstances making fools of us as usual, things started to change and I was alone again.

Meeting new people in a different atmosphere was a respite from loneliness—seeing you for an instant, not knowing who you were, if I might see you again, but longed to, was the key to my attraction. I was proven wrong again.

We are all muddled souls looking for someone to make the world seem okay for a while, and thought I had found it in you. I don’t know why I was surprised every time love started or ended.

Just watched the president’s news conference, showing just how stupid he is.  He actually said he knew nothing….remind you of Sergeant Schultz?….about the CoronaVirus until a month ago. What? He also said the US has never experienced anything like this before…again, what? I guess that proves he’s never read a history book in his leisure time in Florida.

A pet peeve is the billions of dollars to help corporations during the stock market fiasco when funds for free school lunches and supplies for every child in every school in the US goes unfunded. Not mentioning free vaccines and healthcare for the poor and disadvantaged.
