Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

Sunny Side Up

So what if the markets all opened down
   The sun’s up and shining all over town

And as for the latest round of hot weather
   Folks survived ‘dust bowls’ by sticking together

Then there’s the rising price of gasoline
   I’ll just ride my bike and keep my car clean

And, OMG, look at what meat and fish cost
   America’s obese! Eating less is no loss

I guess it’s my nature to be optimistic
   Leave the statisticians churn out statistics

Jennifer Proxenos June 1, 2022 at 1:04 PM Clever, clever especially about gasoline and keeping your car clean. Well lets see how crypto will continue to go, especially downwards. Hugs, blessings, Jennifer. Gershon Wolf June 1, 2022 at 8:41 PM I don't know. I think Crypto will survive and thrive in the long run, and that it's here to stay... Just like a lot of other new things. The innovation these days reminds me of all the new-fangled doo-dads a century ago -- or was it two centuries, the 1820? Hmm. My short-term memory is failing me. But as for the 1300's, I can recite Chaucer by heart. Rhymes with saucer. :) gw

Panagiota Romios June 1, 2022 at 11:35 AM Stay optimistic! Great pen. Panagiota Gershon Wolf June 1, 2022 at 8:39 PM Up, up, and away, Pangie. Thank you, ma'am! Cheers, Gershon

L Milton Hankins June 1, 2022 at 8:41 AM Good idea, gw. Somehow I recall going through all of this before, don't you? And we survived. Gershon Wolf June 1, 2022 at 8:39 PM Really. Survival is in our jeans. ~ Mr. Levi White

Tom Cunningham June 1, 2022 at 12:25 AM Always look on the bright side of life. Theres always somebody worse off than you. Tom Gershon Wolf June 1, 2022 at 8:35 PM Always many people worse off than me. In fact, I'm better off than anyone I know. I've got a charmed life. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. Can you tell I'm married, Tom?! lol. thanks, gw
