Things are fairly upside down right now with fear and confusion everywhere.
My blog will continue to post only cheer.
I hope it helps!
This week's poetry topic?
Money!
Thank you, Jenny!
We hear talk of ‘tainted’ money,
Earned illegally,
Through sales of illicit things,
Or gamb'ling cheerily,
But a friend of mine has said it right,
A man who’s sure and tough,
“Tainted money?” he guffawed,
“There jus ‘taint’ ne'er enough!”
Cause Mondays do get
knocked a lot,
With poetry, we all
besought
To try to make the
week begin…
With pleasant
thoughts,
Perhaps a grin?
So, all of us,
together, we
Have crafted poems for
you to see.
And now you’ve read
what we have wrought…
Did we help?
Or did we not?
A lot of us are feeling blue,
And so we’ll try to cheer a few,
We’ll give that ol’ despair a shove…
Next week: Pets, I’ve Known and Loved.
Sigh. Especially watching those stock markets fall and businesses shutting down. So scary.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the good cheer. We need it now more than ever.
ReplyDeleteSuch a clever play on words! Thank you for the smile, Diane.

ReplyDeleteYes, Diane you made me smile even with my clenched teeth.
ReplyDeleteHeeheehee! He's right, for those who chase nothing but dollars, you always need one more.
ReplyDeleteSmiling is always a gift when I check in on you.
