When I looked under my big bed
I saw a young lady in red.
I said to her, “Claire!
What are you doing there!”
She said, “I fell out of bed!”
Russia Invades Ukraine: An Act of War By A Dictatorship
I agree completely with the views expressed in this post. I stand with the people of Ukraine against the unprovoked aggression of Vladimir Putin.
Its instructive to note that many of the apologists for Russia’s aggression in Ukraine come from the far-left or the far-right of the political spectrum. Communists and fascists are equally detestable and the ideology of Putin draws on both political traditions.
I try very hard to stay away from politics in my blog. I attempt to deal with writing and creativity, but some events demand that writers speak out.
Russia, led by Putin, has invaded Ukraine, a sovereign nation and is conducting war against that country. Additionally, some in the U.S.A. are actively supporting Putin, and that is horrifying. How can an American support the actions of a Fascist dictator against another country? Have we forgotten the Soviet Union, and have we ceased to remember the actions of Hitler?
I am not calling for America to go to war, but everything that can be done to stop and/or punish Russia for this craven attack on Ukraine must be done. Americans need to cease using this as a political football to attack the other party–that is unconscionable and utterly devoid of morality.
I fear for the lives on innocent people in Ukraine…

A young lady up on a cloud
Said, “sir, you are speaking too loud!”
I said to her, “Flow,
If I speak too low
You won’t hear me on that cloud!”

The Careless Agnostic
There once was a rather careless agnostic
Who fell into a tub of Bostik.
When they said, “have you belief?”
He cried out in great grief,
“Someone get me out of this Bostik!”

Victoria Zigler:
“This is another excellent collection of poems by this author, some of which are thought-provoking, while others are amusing. I can easily relate to the poem “I Cut Bread” having been in a similar situation with a dog of my own, and “Autumn’s Dead Leaves” was another poem I really loved from this collection.”

Have a Nice Day
When a young man whose name was Ray
Fell head over heels with gorgeous Miss Fay,
A girl called Hocking
Did something quite shocking!
And the American said “have a nice day!”
When a Tired Young Lady Named Holly
When a tired young lady named Holly
Fell asleep in Lady Molly’s ancient Folly,
A short sighted gardener called Dan,
Being a most careless old man!,
Went and pruned that young lady Holly!
All These Fallen Trees
All these fallen trees
Will fertilize the ground.
Do young couples pass
Along the wooded path
And think thoughts profound
Of nature the creator
And of how trees
And fallen leaves
Fertilize the ground?
