God came down among the children of men

 

God came down to live with man;

to ache as only mortals can.

His empathy for us complete,

as friend and brother he will greet

each one of us in robes of dawn

when to our Savior we are drawn.

Today's Timericks.

 

The ritual of coffee/to wake up in the morn/is one I ne'er developed/and look upon with scorn/What sets my blood a-racing/before the sun arrives/is how the damn Republicans/are acting like fishwives. 

The dinosaurs revenge have got/as fossil fuels make things too hot/Their bones in our museums crow/as greenhouse gases still do flow/Invest in coal or oil or shales?/I'd rather use a bed of nails!

Who will get the vaccine first?/Millions for it madly thirst/Why not start with politicians/and their scheming mad ambitions/And if there should be a hitch/no harm done -- we'll simply switch/to a different brand tout suite/while partisans go obsolete.

Remember when Friday was THE special day --

with work almost over, and then time to play?

But Pandemic's pace gives us surfeit of time . . . 

to play and to sit and the walls screaming climb.

Verses from reading Shakespeare

 

We will give you sleepy drinks

though our conscience from us shrinks

so that you'll not testify

that our land can't satisfy

what you've left behind at home;

we're but lead to your bright chrome!

Do not sneap me, dearest friend,

if I find words without end

in the Shakespeare plays I read

which do make my eyeballs bleed.

I am having much travail

as I read The Winter's Tale!

I have tremor cordis on me;

I'm as skittish as a colt.

If I do not soon becalm myself

I'm likely off to bolt.

This reading Willy Shakespeare

is a tough nut I must crack --

otherwise I'm liable to 

succumb to heart attack!

If credent I must be with thy

glorious and welkin eye;

dearest collop, bawcock sweet,

you make me pant and sigh and bleat.

What disease I may have caught

that I feel well and yet am not

is more than I can conjure, friend;

what physick here will make amend?

There's some ill planet reigns

that means to break my heart;

accused sans any cause,

I'm forced now to depart.

Farewell, fair reputation;

destroyed beyond repair --

unfriended now, my hopes lay

with no one and nowhere.

Employment is still a rare trick

with economies still very sick.

To keep your job safe

shut up and don't chafe --

the boss's boots you'll want to lick.

Dear Santa: All I want this year

is one more check my bank to clear

from Uncle Sam to help me out,

cuz I have been a real good scout.

And in my stocking, if you please,

a lowering of mortgage fees.

Slapping pucks around, my son,

on the pond is not as fun

as when the New York Rangers play  --

for that, good coin I sure will pay.

But if the players still want raises

the whole dang season goes to blazes!

They did not set their hearts upon riches.

 

Setting your heart upon riches

will not gain you much in return;

true prospering comes to the kindly,

who for other's welfare do yearn.

For when you are walking with heaven

by giving as much as you can

you find that you need but a little

to feel like the richest oilman.

Shopping for your soul

 

People do a lot of work

with bargains as their goal.

They shop for ev'rything in sight,

except their precious soul.

I, too, need some reminding

that my life's already bought

and gifted back to me by One

I have not always sought.

I'm making spaghetti today,

the good old American way;

cans of red sauce,

some herbs and some moss,

and noodles I boil till they fray.

McConnell continues to chuckle

insisting he still will not buckle

to Biden as champ;

he's still in the camp

that thinks of Trump as honeysuckle. 

No hospital beds in L.A.

So where will new patients all stay?

Since there are no rooms,

the parking lot looms --

a great place for clients to stray!

Today's Timericks.

 

When leaders are slow to select

a course all their folk to protect

their folly provokes

both hatred and jokes;

they throw away love and respect.

Who's buying Xmas trees this year?

They're priced beyond the stratosphere.

Better a menorah, nu?

The price won't turn your face dark blue!

Journalists now get their news

from Twitter and short Facebook cues.

No need for messy interviews,

cuz innuendo is their muse.

Knowledge from heaven will pour

 

Knowledge from heaven will pour

upon those who learn to adore

the Lord's revelation

without hesitation,

and folly will lead us no more!

Charity towards all men

 

Charity towards all men is the tocsin we should heed;

whether they are black or white, in wealth or dire need.

Do not judge another when you see they need support;

one day you and I may have to in their shoes cavort!
