And when I die
my clothes will be folded neatly,
the dishes will be done
and put away.
My coffee pot will be clean
The trash will be out
all recyclables will be sorted.
The garage will be organized
My cars will be clean.
My pencils will be sharpened
all Ticonderoga Number Two
My laptop will be charged up.
And then...I can write again
and finish that book
But first? Another poem or
this thing I wrote this morning.
FTC
Stopped drinking on January 11, 2023
miss it from 5 to 7 pm
feel better every day
2 small slip ups in 30 days (sip - ups)
will keep it going
life with wife is much better
Thanks be to ....God? or me?
The column was leaning
no support for the post
The decking had crumbled
no joy for the host.
One neighbor was needed
Three more joined the fray
Everyone qualified
To save Northcutt’s day.
Tom had his tools
No opinon he shared
The others had plenty
Clear that they cared.
An engineer, an accountant,
A DIY’er came too
His Hard Hat was awesome
But Tom was all through.
A sawzall, a hammer
Eric’s jack and some screws
Raised spirits and porch
We had 38 Special NEWS.
The moral is clear
when you need a hand
call anyone on 38th street
The response will be grand!
