Wish you were still here

 

It seems quite unfair

That you’re already gone

Not seeing our Natan

Playing a song

 

Celine and Theodore

Who always make me smile

And Julia’s Bat Mitzvah

It was truly worthwhile

 

It’s so heartbreaking

That you’re not here

Enjoying your family

Who you’ll never be near

 

I think of you often

And it makes me sad

That grandkids can’t visit

Their great grandad

 

But it is what it is

That’s all I can say

Perhaps we’ll be reunited

In heaven one day

The 2^nd anniversary of my dad’s death

Freedom of Speech

 

Freedom of Speech

It can be very bad

When speaking of hatred

Just to make people mad

 

To say the Holocaust

Never occurred

Nor did a school shooting

Is truly absurd

 

Why are these people

Allowed to speak

And tell lies to those

Who are dumb and meek

 

Or to say they hate Jews

And slavery was a choice

Don’t broadcast this

With their crazy voice

 

Keep your thoughts to yourself

And watch what you say

Because you’ll get sued

And money you’ll pay

Card carrying members

 

An ID card

Identifies you

A business card

Tells what you do

 

Insurance cards

Your claims get paid

Credit cards

Payments delayed

 

Debit cards

Get money quick

For Lotto tickets

Or a quick pick

 

A card that’s green

Allows you to stay

And get a job

In the U.S.A.

 

A driver’s license

Permits you to drive

A much awaited

Day to arrive

 

Election Day

Show your card

Cast your ballot

It’s not very hard

 

The Covid vaccine

A new card we’ve gotten

The dates are listed

It shouldn’t be forgotten

 

A deck of cards

To wage a bet

So carry your cards

And don’t forget

Those magnificent men in their flying machines

 

It never ceases to amaze me

To see planes in the air

I don’t take it for grated

Though often some don’t care

 

A truly remarkable machine

Flying through the sky

To get you very quickly

The pilots always try

 

I often stare in awe

When seeing these big planes

Flying over my home

More remarkable than trains

 

This jet age that we live in

How lucky that we are

To get to places quickly

Unlike a bus, train or car

Men are causing all this trouble

 

Men are responsible

For causing all this trouble

For blowing up the cities

And leaving them in rubble

 

Was this a game you played

When you were a boy

Building beautiful cities

Then destroying with a toy

 

Men build the planes

Ships, tanks, and guns

Plus, the ammunition

Which they made tons

 

Men build the places

Where people reside

Now they’re destroyed

So, the people must hide

 

Women and children

Are told they must flee

While the men must fight

For the sake of their country

 

Of course, the dictators

Are the ones to blame

Wanting more countries

It’s part of their game

 

If women ran the world

They would easily deter

Just sending nasty emails

No fighting would occur

 

Let the women run the world

And take the place of men

No wars would ever happen

We’d live peacefully again

In honor in International Women's Day

March 8th every year

Let democracy prevail

 

Not all want to go

But told they must fight

To invade Ukraine

Knowing it’s not right

 

Conscripted in service

They have no choice

To do what is wrong

Russians have no voice

 

Women and children

In Ukraine must flee

While most of the men

Fight for their country

 

Other nations won’t help

To fight this war

When nuclear weapons

Are a threat for sure

 

Communist dictators

Plus, the Taliban too

Let democracy prevail

The people don't need you

TIME

 

 

In this poem, time won’t rhyme

If you can think of more, please add to mine

 

Once upon a time

Time to wake up

What time is it

Time to go

Give it some time

Time is of the essence

The time has come

Peacetime

It’s about time, all in due time

Take the time, make the time...to smell the roses

Time after time

Time and time again

For the sake of time, to save time

Many of time, plenty of time, most of the time

Time’s up, timeline, timeout

Nighttime, daytime

Summertime, Wintertime, Springtime

Time zones (Eastern, Central, Mountain & Pacific)

Party time, play time, nap time

Time wise, we’re on time

Alone time, time well spent

Don’t waste time, not worth my time

More time, less time, out of time

Good time, bad time

Father time

Time catches up to you

Time marches on

Time heals all wounds

Anytime, every time, another time

I don’t have time

While killing time

In the meantime, downtime

Time warp, timeshare, time machine

Timeclock, timekeeper

In a timely manner

Don’t be a two timer

Just in the nick of time

A stitch in time saves nine

There’s no time like the present

There's only so much time in a day

Let the good times roll

Time for me to wrap this up
