The Eleventh Annual Holiday Poem

We fought through 2025.

The Constitution still survives.

Our politics remain insane

But at least there was no hurricane.

_____________

We had a safe and healthy year.

We cherished those that we hold dear.

Darcy’s fine; she just turned eight.

She’s still a puppy, which is great.

____________

We live a quiet sunbird life.

Just me and Darcy and my wife.

We watch the seasons come and go

And leave BE before the snow.

_____________

We took a trip to the NC coast.

The history there I enjoyed the most

We also drove to the Finger Lakes

Where the past’s alive, and the scenery’s great.

____________

Next year could go either way.

Which path we’ll choose, I cannot say.

Our freedoms still are under threat.

I fear we ain’t seen nothing yet.
