Vacation to Maine

Three days to get there
Bangor, Maine is where
Saw Acadia National Park
Ate some lobster on a lark
Saw Steven King's home and it was eerie
Found it thanks to my best buddy Siri
She told me how to get there and back
My only complaint is the music I had to lack
While I waited for her to tell me where to turn
Spending too much time on my phone I could have been burned
It's dangerous to play with these phones going down the road
You could get squashed like a toad
I saw Niagara Falls on the way back
The good view from Canada was all I lacked
Then it was to Sandusky, Ohio to walk on the beach by Lake Erie
The next day I was on the beach by Lake Michigan, you should have seen me!
Since Monday it's been daily trips to Madison to Chuck E Cheese
Played at a video game place for 15 bucks with ease
Then to Dubuque to eat some cold guacamole with Doritos
Play some video games, my favorite Pacman was broke, that's the way it goes
I went to a record store in Janesville
Got my latest Adam Sandler CD, what a thrill
Ate some Panda Express
The sauce got on my pants, what a mess!
So today it's off to Davenport for Ruby's, Goodwill and the mall
Lots of dollars paid for it all

Planets and other stuff

Saturn and Jupiter were close together
So close they were over top of each other this last week
I had clouds, so I missed out on that
I did see it the next day
They are separated by 456 million miles
Those distances are hard to imagine
Like the distances between my family members
We used to have 25, yesterday was 5
Coronavirus had something to do with it
Not buying gifts for everyone was more prevalent in the outcome though
I did get twenty dollars which I bought a History and Day of Calendar
I also got some gremlins from Betty Jane Candies
Pecans, caramel, and chocolate

Last Thanksgiving?

I went to my Mom's for Thanksgiving
I was surprised to see my great niece and nephew Lexi and Hayden there
Lexi just got her drivers license and borrowed her Mom's car
I did not know if we were going to have a meal at home or at McDonald's
We had no meal together last year
So this year I just went over and found out
If I had did that for Christmas I would have had room in my stomach for ham
But I went to China Buffet instead
Inspired by the movie A Christmas Story
We had ham, green bean casserole, mashed potatoes, and pumpkin pie
I don't know what next year will bring
Will Mom be in a home?
Will my nephew Shane be homeless?
But at least we got together

About this poem:
I have to wait and see if we have a Christmas get together. My sister and her kids have boycotted my Mom and Shane and want nothing to do with them. It's a shame because there were 24 people that came over for Christmas back in 2018, 2019 the total was 5.

Thanks Santa

Thank you Santa for the many gifts you have given me over the years
Wonder and joy
From you being able to fly around the world in one night
Giving presents to everyone
Back when I was little you only had about four billion people
Now it's over seven billion
I guess you have to eat the cookies a lot faster
You were nice to Rudolph when you made him your lead reindeer
You keep an eye on me so I will be nice and not naughty
Thanks for stretch Armstrong, though he didn't last long when I pulled him apart
Thanks for Evel Knievel and his powered motorcycle
So I could pretend to jump the Grand Canyon and not really break my bones
Thanks for Darth Vader's TIE Advanced x1 starfighter and doll
So I could pretend to choke people with my mind
And blow up planets with the Death Star that was about 75 miles in diameter
Thanks for eating my mom's cookies because she is a great baker
And thanks for not quitting, so other children can experience the joy I had
And have!
Thanks Santa!

About this poem:
Santa was a big part of my childhood and still is a part of my Christmas celebration. The best depiction of him is in the cartoon Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer.

Snow

We had our first real Christmas snow today and yesterday
I should have gone out and made something out of it
I made a snowman back in November
I made a Rudolph pumpkin carving on December 1
I etched it so when you put a light inside it glows orange-red
Around Rudolph
It should stop snowing around one in the afternoon
In a snowstorm dumping five inches on 2,000 square miles
Which is about the size of Grant and Iowa County, Wisconsin
There are 5 quintillion snowflakes
That's a 5 followed by 18 zeros.
A cubic foot of snow contain about one billion crystals
If you watch The Grinch Who Stole Christmas(Jim Carrey)
It takes place on a very small part of a snow crystal
Other movies with snow and ice
Frozen, where Elsa can create ice and Olaf from her majic
Frosty the Snowman who comes to life with a hat and then a kiss from Crystal
Groundhog Day where Phil knows it's tomorrow by the snow on the ground
The Shining where Jack is frozen in the cold hedge maze
And The Thing where an alien preys on people in the snowy Antarctica

Christmas Cards

Sending out my yearly Christmas cards
One to my landlord
One to my godmother who is 98
Send one to my mom who is 13 miles from me
Sister, aunt, brother
California, New York City, Wisconsin, Illinois
I see only two of these people
All the rest I only get in touch by facebook or just the card
Mine this year is the same as last year
Snoopy decorating the Christmas tree

About this poem:
I try to write something in each one to let them know what I have done this last year. Missing my dead dad, dealing with my mom's dementia and he eventual placement in a nursing home, two movies out, a hockey game tonight, and going to the Mall of America, and the coronavirus.

Holloween Jack

Its about time those Holloween Jacks come to visit you.

Scared about children --dying so true.

Dark nights are heavier these days-- When Christmas and Holloween brew.

Farther Graves are glowing Grey.

Autumn Leaves have their dark brown Frey.

Barks of trees feels so Rusted.

as Holloween Jacks feel so trusted.

Happy Holloween to you.

When Spirits Howl on their pale white hue.

Frozen Nights

It Holloween Night and its a Scare.

Hard to say goodbye to your love ones with a Prayer.

Business soon booming for what is not right.

Toys and Candies for Children happen at Night.

I have seem leaves fallen as Autumn Looms.

Violet Sunrise are good perfumes.

Funny or Crazy we all can be.

As these Frozen Nights inspire me.

Barking Dogs Howl Nowadays. As Autumn falls before Winter fades.

Veterans

My dad was in the Navy
He went to Italy and Iceland
He served from 1954 to 1958
He didn't like Iceland because it was so dark part of the year
He regretted not staying in
Especially when his company cancelled his retirement pension in 1981
At the time he made his decision he was making good money
Better than he got paid in the Navy
How was he supposed to know the unions would get creamed
He is not alone
Sadly, many veterans don't get the support they should have
I hope that could change
Maybe next year
We will elect a president who really cares about these people
As much as they care about all of us

About this poem:
I will be voting third party because I don't see either party supporting our veterans with the respect they deserve.

No Place For The Holidays

There's no place for the holidays
It got taken away by meth
There's no place for the holidays
And the holidays will never be the same
Back in 2018 we had our last
But the last two went right into the can
We had a home but only five showed up
And we had the same again last year
There is no place for the holidays
In 2021 we're on our own
There is no place for the holidays
And it looks like the next time I see these people will be at the next funeral

About this poem:
My mom went in a nursing home, so my favorite three holidays will have no family in them, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas, because her house got sold this summer. This is a parody of There's No Place Like Home For The Holidays.
