Calendars

Each year they send me calendars
To garner a donation,
No matter if in years gone by
I met that obligation.

I must have half a dozen now
With varied scenes depicted;
But though they’re nice, those knowing me
Could surely have predicted

Not one of those would grace my walls
‘Cause even though they’re free,
The only calendar I want
Is one picked out by me!

Put on your calendar, every day, "Write a poem!"

One up here, one up there. I know what day it is everywhere. Norman Rockwell's are the best. The fighter plane's, eh. It seems I used to have to beg to get just one a year. So I guess I am kind of glad, I think I'll have a beer. Peace. :)
