Thanksgiving

11/24/2010
Here we go again
The long drive down to old world
Plus Trader Joe stop!

11/25/2010
Thanksgiving buffet
Is a memory to keep
Unlike the perv clown.

11/26/2010
Even though yummy
Be careful when you reheat
Green been casserole.

11/27/2010
Love Wolf’s BBQ
And a few quiet hours
To read some Westlake.

11/28/2010
Great rivers of tears
Provide the soundtrack for the
Long dark drive home.

11/29/2010
She’s rightly depressed
And having withdrawal from
The family she likes.

Just Ordinary People

11/17/2010
Recording again,
The annual Christmas song
For my lovely wife.

11/18/2010
Does anyone want
A free flu vaccination?
Free formaldehyde!

11/19/2010
Larry the Ladder
Has finally returned home
From his adventures.

11/20/2010
Lots of guys tonight
Hanging out, drinking a beer,
Playing darts for free.

11/21/2010
Our cars are working
And for that I am very
Thankful to our God.

11/22/2010
New experience,
Though perhaps a bit diff’rent
That Blessingway was.

11/23/2010
Today’s morning snack
Have been brought to you by ol
Raw carrots and squeak,

Another Couple of Sticks

11/10/2010
Oodles of driving
Down to Evansville and back
And I’m not done yet.

11/11/2010
Despite the long wait
We had a wonderful date
At the Flat Top Grill.

11/12/2010
“No, you cannot go
“To your friends house once again.
“Stay home and do tents.”

11/13/2010
What? Another date!
To Avilla we shall go
My gal is the best!

11/14/2010
I got the date wrong
Ignorance of the church year
Made it darts for two.

11/15/2010
It is a sad day.
No more dairy for Miss Brooke.
She’s taking it well.

11/16/2010
Clueless managers
Have pushed me to the point where
I no longer care.

Crawling to the finish line

11/6/2010
Once every decade
Melynda gets new glasses.
The time is at hand.

11/7/2010
Daylight Savings Time:
I will keep my mouth shut tight
And drink more coffee.

11/8/2010
Seeker friendly church
With segregated worship
Wacky like a zoo.

11/9/2010
Realization
That I have hit a dead end
No chance for job growth.

Change and Chips

11/1/2010
That Buster Keaton
He sure is a funny man
From my memory.

11/2/2010
Hangin’ with Hrehov
Watching election returns
And enjoying brew.

11/3/2010
Massive victory.
Let’s hope they don’t forget their
Principles while there.

11/4/2010
Sweet little Tessa
Said “My mouth is for cookies.”
Wisdom from a child.

11/5/2010
How have I missed out
On 10cc for so long?
I lived in a cave.

A Big To Do List

10/21/2010
I like not to train
And even when I try hard
Stress spills into home.

10/22/2010
I have some good news:
There are only seventy
Haikus left to write!

10/23/2010
I have a problem:
I find that I am writing
The same haiku twice.

10/24/2010
Haikus are quite brief
But the best short sentence is
Simply “I love you.”

10/25/2010
About that last one,
It could have come from Hallmark
But it came from me.

10/26/2010
I am way too stressed
Over training the new guy.
I need to care les.

10/27/2010
This is the first day
Driving far to get the boys
But they are worth it.

10/28/2010
“Oh, did I tell you
“That you would be paid that much?
“I was wrong. My bad.”

10/29/2010
Like a pointed stick
Oft jabbed into left eye
Is my employer.

10/30/2010
I have this feeling
I have forgotten my youth
Self-preservation.

10/31/2010
My oldest offspring
Went trick or treating alone
And did not get lost.
