‘Twas the Night Before Elections
Saturday, November 1st, 2008‘Twas the night before elections
And all through the town
Tempers were flaring

I, in my bathrobe
With a cat in my lap
Had cut off the TV
Tired of political crap.
When all of a sudden
There arose such a noise

They had come for my wallet
They wanted my pay

A Quilt of Holes
Monday, September 8th, 2008As I faced my Maker at the last judgment, I knelt before the Lord along with
all the other souls
Before each of us, our life was laid out like the squares of a quilt in many piles;
an angel sat before each of us sewing our quilt squares together into a
tapestry that was our life.
But as my [...]
