Well! *deep breath* THIS uplifting verse is #30 of 30 Poems in November to benefit the Center for New Americans! Today's theme is HOLIDAYS.
Thank you, dear readers, for cheering me on this month. Please take a moment to scroll around and read poems you might have missed this month. My kids also successfully finished their challenge to create 30 drawings each on the same themes. Amazing!
I hope my friends might also consider making a donation of any amount to Center for New Americans. Here is our fundraising page:
I saw a show on Comedy Central last night about the President's Christmas and it was pretty funny. They did a bit about what his life would have been like without the million from his father, and in one scene he gets shoved into a cop car and they bang his head on the door frame. I died laughing. The man cannot be impeached soon enough, before he destroys everything with his vulgar idiocy.
ReplyDeleteYes, yes... and this morning (Saturday morning) we veer ever closer to the destruction of everything. Argh
DeleteMarian, i share your anxiety, and i think of your beautiful children. And his base still thinks he is god's golden one. It is unbelievable. Dangerous delusion and derangement, ruling the world. God help us.
