Today's timericks.

 

I'm drinking soda water

like I have never done.

The calories nonexistent 

make belching lots of fun.

I serve it solamente

to all my kin and guests;

it makes them very sober

and keeps away the pests.

A hundred pardons in a day

looks to be Trump's going away

bonus to posterity

to laud his own vulgarity.

I dilly and I dally 

when I'm working off-site, since

it takes a lot of effort 

to create a decent blintz.

It's not that I don't love my job

or hate my Mactintosh,

but since the kitchen is nearby

I like a little nosh.

 

My health may be indiff'rent

and my fortune's on the wane.

The rainy day has come at last

and sometimes there is pain.

Visitors are few and far between --

but what care I?

My sense of humor is intact --

I still can throw a pie!

The sea gulls shriek at 

the waves working

to move the shore.

They still laugh 

when it finally shifts.

And so do we.

The God of the Jews and the Gentiles.

 

The God of the Jews and the Gentiles

is one and the same deity.

He loves and he cares for his children,

no matter what faith they may be.

Agnostic or firm non-believer,

his kindness and mercy extend

to ev'ryone here on his foot stool --

on him alone we can depend!

Two Haiku.

 

In the winter

can the song remain

after the bird has flown?

This winter wind

brings no comfort --

like the handshake

of a dead friend.

Sustaining the law of the land

 

Sustaining the law of the land

is what we are called on to do;

as citizens and as a flock,

we honor, obey, and eschew

all mobs and the bunk they embrace

if we are to see our God's face.

Two Haiku.

 

A bad blow

makes the nail

bow its head

In the food desert

a child sees a cabbage --

what is it? she wonders,

biting her nails. 

Today's timericks.

 

Joe Biden, like old Honest Abe/wants his country bad to save/More partisan than dogs and cats/is he the one to heal our spats?/Right now the bigger question looms/Will Trump vacate the White House rooms?

Banks will lend a helping hand/when you borrow fifty grand/They will keep it quick and fun/All they want's your first born son/Your friendly banker likes to loan/so he can squeeze blood from a stone/Luckily my credit score/keeps all bankers from my door.

When I fill my car with gas/I'm offered pheasant under glass/fresh ground coffee and baguette/imported cheese, let's not forget/My local station is inclined/to serve me maple bacon rind/This gourmet splendor is a treat/too bad they ran all out of Heet. 

Whoso believeth in me and is baptized shall be saved.

 

Buried under water for a moment of my life,

a wholly new existence and enjoyment became rife.

This simple cataclysm is available to all

who dare to cast aside the world's distracting deadly pall.

Authorized by Jesus Christ, his servants do invite

people without number to sink and then be light!

Be still and know that God is God.

 

Be still and know that God still reigns

over mountain range and plains,

controls the sky and vasty deep,

and all His promises will keep.

Oil the hinges of your heart

to open up a brand new start!
