EXCERPT from TEMP JOB (part 4)
Quiet and peaceful, so down I go.
Those people had left the stuff on the floor. Stopping, I check out those little eyes I had seen earlier out of curiosity. Still there, I shake my head; who’d leave a little guy like that in here? Time slows to a crawl as I check out the little fellow, and he checks me. Not much to look at. Scrawny little thing lying there, but probably had potential. Hey, look at me, I’m not much either. Sun’s coming up soon, and I feel really good. Think I’ll eat breakfast, collect what I can, and hit the road. Bethlehem’s not a bad place, but I got the wanderin’ feet, and hey! I feel really good.
ANOTHER DAY
Another day is Christmas
Tis a day like no other
Christ was born this date
From Virgin Mary: Mother
Wise man came
Bowed their heads
Wondered at his birth
A bright star flared out overhead
Proclaiming peace on earth
Another day began
With a baby born on hay
Two thousand years since gone by
We’ve learned another way
Love each other: your fellow man
Call each other brother
Forget not: that long-gone time
It’s a day that’s like no other

I am writing number two in my series of marital discord blogs and poems.
Marital disharmony came to mind as I walked up the drive the other night.
Big game today, or every day for us patriots.
A short 55 years have passed since last I shot myself, seems like only yesterday.
I’ve always been a dog man, oh don’t get me wrong, cats are ok but they just aren’t loyal like a dog, so we had dogs.
A man in church with my wife listened to the sermon and remarked how he guessed we are all “second string angels.”
I’m full up on taking crap and keeping my mouth shut.
My fanciful love story, don’t you love this this time of year!
For some reason, I started thinking about a chicken in the hen-house.
My mind works in devious fashion sometimes, and this one came out at my wife’s request.
