Reality Dreams for Christmas

Missing image

~ by Gregg Rowe ~

Ah we have passed another year -- 'o eight

My Christmas tree is up, my list is made:

This war in Iraq, -- please -- with lives its paid

Let's end this fiasco, it's not too late;

A cure for AIDS would make my living great

And check my shingles so I can get laid

My life everyday fades in drug filled haze

At fifty -- chronic diseased -- can't find mate

Fresh laundry erases bodily stains

From schedules of popping fruit loop pills:

 Usually, I don't wallow in my pains

To awake daily -- goal for chronic ills --

I'm here, this year to pen my annual write:

My friends --  a happy, joyous Christmas Night

    Your poem is partly very sad. The part of wanting better health so you’d have a better chance of getting laid is interesting. I think I detect a layer of good humor floating aimlessly through your lines. I hope so. Good luck in the contest.

    Fifty huh, that sounds familiar, so do the aches and pains...though mine are minor from how yours sound. And the war in Iraq, "please" indeed...hopefully Obama is honest when he says he'll change that. And Aids, of course, a cure would be good, as well as cancer...and a long and depressing list follows. As for getting laid, amen is all I will say there.

    Yes, we're here, and as depressing as it all is, there is something to say for that. And because of that...Merry Christmas.

    Dear Gregg,

    As always, I pray for your continued health improvement and I am sure that all on this page join with me in wishing that 2009 will be a better year for you than the present year has been.
    All the best to you, Buddy, and good luck in the voting.
    Applause, love and hugs, Hugh (R.)

    Dear Gregg, wouldn't it be great if you woke up and they had a cure for aids, I would be so happy for you and others so that they may be cured.
    Haha I can see now why Jen calls you Henrietta! Watch out for King Hugh when he gets better, he'll definitely send you to the dungeons and not even a BUMD to keep you occupied.
    Good luck in the voting sweety, now don't forget to vote on 18 to 20th.
    Your loving Sister
    Joan

    Well done!

    Your mind has ranged near and far to create a sonnet of Christmas wishes; peace is foremost, then health and joy. I wish you all of this, Gregg, waking again and more than waking. Merry Christmas and a happy new year.

    All of this I wish for you, too, Gregg and for the rest of the world. "To awake daily"... something we all are grateful for.
    Your travels down memory lane this year are, as always, hoping for the best for mankind.
    thank you for this inspiring poem

    Good luck in the contest
    love and
    Dee

    "...To awake daily..."
    A motivating goal
    amongst all the holly
    and good will.
    May your hopes
    be strengthened,
    your spirits lifted...

    You are very naughty!

    Dear Henrietta, I agree with you about the war in Iraq and a cure for aids, they're very good wishes to have.
    We all know you've been going through a rough time, so that wish I would like to see Santa really, really grant.
    Thanks for entering and good luck in the voting. Don't forget the contest closes on the 18th AND YOU HAVE TO VOTE WITHIN 48 HOURS! GOT IT?
    Loveya Jen

      Okay Lady In Waiting!



      Thank you for the kind comments. I had a hard time on December 1st, World AIDS Day. Was twenty-five years officially (twenty-nine without the doctor's certificate) and I made the mistake of going down memory lane! Much better now, seem to have my muses working on my sense of humour. Are they doing a good job?

        Yes my friend, your muse is working well on your sense of humour which we all need a lot of at the moment with a lot of our friends so ill.
