Then and yet now
My Son, The Sun, Lights up a room Even the darkest corners, The Sun rises, but also sets, Too soon, Too soon.

Eric, Farewell
Mayor Pete Buttigieg was nobodies fool. He chose Harvard for a school. Went to England as an Oxford scholar. Got a Rhodes award and saved US dollar. Took a freighter to study for his final exam. ( This is true, I do nor jest} of his class, he scored the best. Came home and served as Mayor And won a second term, In football city, Notre Dame. Giving him a taste of fame. To round out his life he went on line and found a male partner. It worked out fine. He ran for President as a South Bend resident. Both friend and foe rated his chances low. Said he, I will give it my best Since Donald Trump is my foe.

Pete's Poem
We will not stand here And allow an angel Who became a devil To enter this sacred gate. With a trembling  voice I did inquire Of what am I accused Of being human, of being human Came back the reply.

Afterlife
There was a coach named Naggy Who wore a beard quite shagy He had a quarterback called Trubisky Who started each game with some whiskey. When asked why His answer was sly I can't take this game seriously Much as I try.

Green and Gold
A practicing and devout Catholic Married a talented and charming wife However but not of his faith Surely it could be said With very little sadness That there was a Methodist To his madness.

Entering Heaven
Oh to be seventy-five again, Says a nonagenarian But I'm not complaining Says the cheerful old man It's just that looking back Provides a longer time-span.

Aging Gracefully
Looking out at the lake I see it display many moods Not its own But mine
