As we contemplate
the tragedies behind us,
what comedies lie ahead?
~
The fatal flaw is
in us all and will lead to
both tears and laughter.

Any suggestions
for how to recover from
post Thanksgiving blues?
~
Remember, as blue
as we may be, we’re still
better off than that turkey.
Since we can expect
the unexpected, how can
we hope to craft a good plan?
~
Any crafter of
good plans prepares for the worst
and hopes for the best.
What if Santa, like
Trump, decided it was much
better to receive than give?
~
Then he would collect
disappointment and sorrow
for all the hopes unfulfilled.
How many turkeys
did it take to fix dinner
on Thanksgiving day?
~
Thanksgiving dinner
was prepared well in advance
by just one tired turkey.
How can one relax
and enjoy the holiday
when there’s so much work to do?
~
Sometimes we need to
forget work and remember
what happens when we don’t play.
Teens with chores – why are
they frequently full of sass
and as slow as molasses?
~
They share a common
core, when it’s time for their chores;
Molasses. sassy. asses.
Would time pass slower
if our mad, frenetic pace
took a pause, and sought out grace?
~
Time will pass as time
will, but if we ourselves go
slow, we might find grace abounds.
Why now and not then?
Why then and not now?
Why never? Why forever?

The time was not right
to strike when the iron’s hot;
now it’s too cold for striking.
