Woe$


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.

  1. Sigh. Especially watching those stock markets fall and businesses shutting down. So scary.
