Tastings

By Lawrence R. Berger

The stomachs bulge

The malls fill with shoppers

all is as it should be in America.

Happy week before thanksgiving !

The week before thanksgiving

By Lawrence R. Berger

The count down has started

six days twelve hours and ten minutes till it's here!

Our annual ritual that no other country has and

the only Holiday celebrated by all religions in America.

The rich meaty bird

is already in the freezer

Hey they were on sale this week

so why wait till the last minute right?

I can already taste the mashed potatoes

and gravy . I can literally feel it sliding down

my throat. I've got the TV guide all set up for the games I want to watch.

Thank god for credit cards! I paid my cable bill!

Oh well ,

I guess I must be hungry today.

see you next week!

Happy Wednesday!

Hi folks :

Well, it's that time again! Here's this weeks poem :

Night Driving

By Lawrence R. Berger

Last night I drove to a reading

With my friends Kitty and MJ

My Second time driving at night in 20 years.

The first was a week ago at

Todd Davis's reading at St. John Fisher.

Everything looks different at night.

The dark makes it hard to see.

The lights from a thousand cars

make everything seem Eire

and I have never been so scared!

But I did it ! and I survived !

onwards and upwards!

Well it's over!

Hi folks : The mid term elections are now finally history! Maybe now we'll see more growth in the economy and get this country back on track . My candidate for Governor Didn't win but two of my Senate candidates were elected! We'll soon see what if anything changes . Now on to this weeks poem:

Temporary Insanity

By Lawrence R. Berger

Politics is strange!

The wolves chase the good ones

out of the pack as the elk preen and strut

their voices pronouncing the truth of their hunger.

Sheep are led to pasture by the Shepard

who watches for wolves.

Politics is strange

but it's like our favorite

sports teams lining up on the

grid iron for a Sunday afternoon Battle

We get energised and polarised

by our favorites.

My candidate did not win

so now we've got no chance

of getting any thing done.

.

See you next week.
