Long ago and far away, In a land that time forgot, Before the days of Dylan, Or the dawn of Camelot. There lived a race of innocents, And they were you and me, Long ago and far away In the Land That Made Me, Me. Oh, there was truth and goodness In that land where […]
CHRISTMAS AT THE GAS STATION.
The old man sat in his gas station on a cold Christmas Eve. He hadn’t been anywhere in years since his wife had passed away. He had no decorations, no tree, no lights. It was just another day to him. He didn’t hate Christmas, just couldn’t find a reason to celebrate. There were no children […]
Guy Fawkes
It’s November the fifth again folks The time for treason and plots Smoky bonfires lit up at night And baked spuds eaten hot Kiddies looking forward to fireworks Sparklers and rockets galore Catherine wheels spinning on fences Clearing up might just be a chore.
