“Haul Week”
is how some view
the whole Christmas season.
Giving, not receiving, brings you
more smiles.

When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy

while with broad smiles you organize

Rip off
polite's facade.
Integrity to self
is more precious than feigning false
concern*.


*was "interest"

Sorry Daniel, I got colloquial on the last word. Down south, we say "in-trest". Please pardon the drawl!
