My daughter’s been sick, this season, all week long, and today is her birthday. She was on vacation, what a spoiler. My youngest turned 40 today. Steroids, and now antibiotics. This kicks the rear of the last year. Pray that 2025 gives her all her heart desires through Jesus Christ.

*Batman was a tv show in the 1960’s. His sidekick would often exclaim such things as I have written in this poem.

Blustering snowballs, Batman, it's cold enough to blubber blast the titanic iceberg from its frozen handshake. But snowballs that ain’t formed; fine powdery dust billowing ‘neath the core, of not hell, but the moat of the ice queen’s castle. Frozen icicles, Batman, drip from nostrils and lips, welcoming a brew of nog to noggin, or toddy for the torrential reality of fastball bugs for tethered sleeves - the season’s green sleeves. A yuck of a holiday for some. A hiccup and cheers to a New Year.

Yep, hard to believe how time has flown. Very witty write. Hoping she is feeling well soon. Cheer her up, do a crazy dance or make funny faces, it still works even at 40. Oh, maybe a 58 corvette as a gift. Back then, I had one of those.
