The snow fell as the weatherman said-
I watched it fall from my bed-
I heard plows coming down my street-
AS I went to my kitchen for a bite to eat-
The trees in my yard so pretty in white-
The sun shining down now so bright-
Winter is nice if you stay inside-
Outside prepare to slip and slide-
Soon the man in red will appear-
With a sled full of gifts pulled by his deer-
Another Christmas would have past-
Hoping this is not my last-
MERRY XMAS  from me to you-
A very HAPPY NEW YEAR TOO-
THE END

Silly the cat has found a home-
NO longer will he need to roam-
HE likes his new home it seems-
HE lays around sleeps and dreams-
HE has adjusted well to our place-
Almost has a smile upon his face-
Enjoys our other cats as well-
AT least from what I can tell-
I guess he is here to stay-
WE would not have it no other way-
Now we have four cats -what can I say-
WE always have room for one more stray-
THE END

Why me LORD I ask him everyday-
While with others things go their way-
I never have an exceptional day-
AND GOD I'M seventy two years old today-
Still waiting for my luck to change-
SO my forsaken life I can rearrange-

THE END

Life at times can be great-
Good things come to those who wait-
Illness sometimes makes me mad-
I want always to be glad-
Getting old can be tough-
Day in -day out it gets rough-
New medicine to cure my ills-
Medicine to cure my chills-
OH  well perhaps things will change-
MY life now will rearrange-

THE END

T had a goal to write a book-
I reached my goal but what it took-
IT took a year or so you know-
TO put those chapters in a row-
I had the help of a great staff-
I needed them around to make me laugh-
The hard work -the long nights-
The wee hours-The suns' bright lights-
MY computer for hours would run-
Just so I could have some fun-
Now the book is complete-
AS I sit upon this seat-
Hope everyone enjoys the book-
IT really is worth it to take a look-
Well that's all for now I  say-
I have to be on my way-

THE END

Frisky just returned today-
For ten days he'd been away-
Meowing at the window with sorry eyes-
Seeing his return was a nice surprise-
HE ate some food and wanted more-
HE meowed and meowed some more-
HE seems to be glad he's home-
Guess he no longer wants to roam-
HE is resting on a chair-
HE knows truly that we care-
HE opens his eyes to check on me-
For at times I was his security-
IT'S nice he returned today-
For his return has made my day-
Now happy I write this poem-
For my cat FRISKY is back at home-
THE END

Winter weather causes madness-
Dreary days causes sadness-
Snow falling all day long-
Missing the birds delightful song-
Outside the plows do their thing-
Indoors I dream of SPRING-
Shovels busy making noise-
Snowball fighting from some boys-
Snowman making makes it fun-
Share our winter everyone-
Hoping Spring arrives real quick-
A quick goodbye to old SAINT NICK-
Snow will melt and go away-
For our Spring to come I pray-

THE END

A wintry mix hit our area today-
Lots of snow on the way-
Cars covered in white-
More snow coming tonight-
Shovels-plows busy as can be-
Holidays coming exciting to me-
Kids on sleds having fun-
Snowmen to please everyone-
Snowballs in the air left and right-
Lots more snow on the way tonight-
Welcome to NEW ENGLAND WINTER is here-
Lots of snow for all to share-

THE END

GOD it's hard getting old-
Bad medical news I'VE been told-
First a hip replacement-I did fine-
Now had blood tests-they say are mine-
I never seem to catch a break-
Bad luck with each breath I take-
GOD why me I ask myself-
While I  place my bills upon my shelf-
Medical issues to deal with every day-
Instead of being happy in every way-
AT age seventy two heed my advise-
TO your doctors do be nice-
Otherwise you too could get bad news -And could share bad medical views-
THE END

Due to illness that got worse-
I needed the assistance of a nurse-
Marcy visited me twice a week-
About my illness we did speak-
She helped me back on my feet
A better nurse I never did meet-
Marcy is super as can be-
Shows by the care she shows for me-
Marcy gives her best for me-
Made me better one-two- three-
Marcy is the best you can plainly see-
She takes great care of me-
THE END

SO much time has slipped away-
I am seventy two years old today-
THE years went by just so fast-
I thought my younger years would last-
MY LORD  one day you're just a lad-
Then you're old suddenly and thats' so sad-
Today is a reflection on times past-
I thought my younger days would last-
SO much fitted in a lifetime for sure-
I guess I expected a whole lot more-
Imagine a life with a second chance-
I'D be so happy I'D sing and dance-
I would change in so many ways-
I would really enjoy my days-
I'D change the world if I  can-
I'D be such a different man-
I'D paint a smile on everyones' face-
The world would be a better place-
BUT nowI'M  seventy two -it's time to rest-
For-I have taken lifes' greatest test
I was here and did it my way-
I enjoyed it all what can I  say?
GOD is now knocking on my door-
For here on earth I'M needed no more-
I did my job -my last day was sound-
Now HE'S  waiting I'MHEAVEN bound-
THE END--

JO-JO-was a stray cat-
WE took him away from all that-
Now he is one of three-
FRISKY-PATCHES AND HE-
They get along just fine-
I'M so glad they are mine-
The three cats make my day-
IT'S fun to watch them play-
I love the three so much-
OH its' my heart they touch-

THE END

Life when you are young is simple and fun-
WE attend school -play and run-
WE have lots of friends-
The fun just never ends-
AS the years went by things changed-
Our lives by GOD  got rearranged-
Now as I reflect on days gone by-
MY eyes shed tears as I cry-
I now await GOD to take me home-
IT'S my time to rest no longer will I roam-
I will miss the earth,the sky,
I will miss the days gone by-
NO longer can I run-
NO longer can I have fun-
MY time on earth has truly past-
MY memory for some will forever last-

THE END

BLACKY is a pretty stray cat-
WE tried to take her away from all that-
She's cute-She's smart-She tugs at your heart-
She lives outdoors all year round-
With her friends she can be found-
Winter is her only fear-
She lives outside all year-
She may have lots of friends-
But her love for us never ends-
THE END

Mother Nature had her way-
She made it rain hard the other day-
Things that were dry-They got wet-
Damages not figured out yet-
A new place to live -Say bye to the old-
Another chapter of my life was told-
Moving around getting settled again
Trying to enjoy life again my friend-
Mother Nature caused me pain-
Hope I never see her again-
I-will make it through this mess-
What it will take is only a guess
Today will be put behind us now-
Better days will show up somehow-
I have had my fill of very high stress-
Life at times is not good I guess-
Tomorrow may be brighter some people say-
MY GOD I hope so anyway-
THE END--

Kings-Queens-Knights-
Swords-battleaxes-and tights-
Castles-Crusades-and Moats-
The horses and their oats-
Fighting and Death -Hand and Hand-
Fighting for freedom taking a stand-
The Days of Old no longer exist-
Medieval Days gone in a twist-
Medieval Days had to be rough-
To exist you had to be tough-
Medieval days special as can be-
Maybe not for you -but special to me-

The hot air blew through my windows today-
Another hot day was on the way-
IT is SUMMER make no mistake-
But the heat I just can't take-
The a/c rumbled up on the wall-
Trying to cool the air in the hall-
I tried to relax as the cool air passed-
I was hoping the cool air would last-
OH I wish for a cold WINTERS' breeze-
For Heavens' sake I'M not hard to please-
But indeed WINTER can be far away-
Saving itself for another day-
The hot air blew through my windows today-
Another hot day is on the way-
THE END

Everyday I face stress-
IT'S part of life I guess-
Some car problems first-
Medical problems make it worst-
The wife is moody-boy she's mad-
Having arguments makes me sad-
I need some quiet time alone-
NO talking on the telephone-
MY blood pressure rises quick-
A glass of whiskey does the trick-
Now it's late I have time to write-
Working on a novel throughout the night-
Story writing reduces my stress-
I found peace at last I guess-
Hope tomorrow is a better day-
Hope happy times are on the way-
I hope the stress will go away-
I hope I have a better day-
THE END

Frogs were put on earth to please-
Saving them can be done with ease-
GODS' creatures are here for a reason-
They are here no doubt every season-
They serve a purpose thats' for sure-
Saving them sure can be a cure-
Frogs help balance nature's quest-
What they do they do it best-
THE END

Everyday the squirrels gather round-
AS I place peanuts upon the ground-
Sometimes theres'four-sometimes three-
They never lose sight of me-
They spot the bags of treats galore-
Eat the nuts and look for more-
Their little eyes look so sad-
Giving them nuts makes them glad-
They are not afraid as they look around-
Scouting for nuts upon the ground-
IT'S fun to see them eat and play-
AS I go about my day-
Their little faces light up my heart-
AS I feed them from the start-
I am indeed their friend-
Tossing peanuts is the trend-
They look for me everyday-
AS I go on my way-
Having fun all the way-
I love squirrels what can I say?
THE END

There was a cat her name was PATCH-
IN the old castle the mice she'd catch
She'd hide behind the old stone wall-
Then pounce upon them one and all-
She was shrewed and she was fast-
Upon the walls her shadow she'd cast-
The mice would run -they would hide-
While PATCH would take it all in stride-
Sometimes the mice would win or lose-
The fattest ones PATCH would choose-
She ate them with great delight-
While some looked on in total fright-
Now PATCH  is old and slow and such-
Pays not attention to the mice so much-
The castle now is cold and bare-
For PATCH is no longer there-
The mice still run and play-
about-''Good No More Cat'' They Shout-
