Another Year Is Coming

Another year is coming to rapid conclusion And I can say I am most happy to see it go For 2021 was a difficult year for everyone With the pandemic losses so sad, you know. I won’t miss the divisive political in-fighting Nor will I care to remember much in the news When I think about the differences I made Truth is, not many people listened to my views. On the other hand, I made some exciting trips Adding the last state (S.D.) I had not seen And, then, I spent some weeks in the tropics Getting away for a week for a change of scene. I got my vaccines, a booster, and a flu shot, And when I count my blessings, so many I got!

Yep, sure did. My brother drove up from Panama City, FL and he and I made a trip to Mount Rushmore. Jolly good time!

I agree, Tom. The entire year wasn't a wash. We had lots of things to be thankful for, and I am!

Well, if you have the opportunity, get it. I take it every year, and I haven't had the flu for, perhaps, twenty years! I believe in the science.
