When Virginia has
sunlit, humidity-free
days, let’s stop and play.

that this stellar weather will
wait for us to get off work.

With time this short,
and endless tasks a’looming,

Especially when
time is short and endless tasks
are looming, we must pause, breathe.

Every casino
owner knows about gaming
the odds for fun and profit.
Just facing long odds,

way we choose to play the game.
Let’s find joy even
when things don’t go our way. Let’s

appearance of certainty.

has been replaced by the rule

of the hungry, poor, and meek.

Didn’t we learn that in
two Corinthians touted
by Trump and his ilk?
When all is said and

All bark and no bite
is a common hallmark of
yapping dogs with tiny paws.
Does retirement
seem to loom, large and dreadful,
or seem a friend, come to stay?
~
It all depends on
who you ask – the one who is
retiring or the spouse.
