Let’s give credit where credit is due.
Trump’s accomplishments—I’ll give a few—
should be mentioned today,
so to those who naysay,
let me offer a positive view.
Now the jobless rate’s pleasingly low:
January nineteen---4-point-0.
Our economy’s good,
and improving. All should
see we’ve risen above status quo.
College grads hit the jackpot last year,
for the job market stats made them cheer.
In his plans he’s not slack.
He’s brought many jobs back
and helped generate companies here.
Though new tax laws won’t help everyone,
they’ll help millions. When all’s said and done,
there’s been no perfect law
and no man without flaw
in the White House—nor under the sun!*
Note: I do NOT LIKE his personality, his mouth, but he's accomplished some
good for the U.S.

I had placed Reeses cups in a bowl
There to snack anytime- with control
The large family size-
Hubby eyed with surprise
Said restraint was to be his new goal!
But each morning I saw there was less
And I felt that he had to confess
That he snuck some away-
To munch on through the day!
He said NO, and like me, felt some stress!
This went on- and so soon bowl was bare!
I moved on like I just didn't care-
And continued to dust-
Clean inside was a must
Of a living room cabinet there.
I yelled WOW!- when I saw there inside
All the Reeses a mouse brought to hide!
Dragged them there one by one
Till his project was done!
That field mouse took us both for a ride!
Now, this story I told you is true-
Shoulda known mice all do what they do.
But this feat was extreme
A lone field mouse's dream-
Gave him credit where credit is due!

A very merry new year to all of you
May happiness reign, delight increase
May rank strife and division at once cease
May you give and receive credit where credit is due
A healthy and prosperous new year to all of you
May your body respond well to life's curve balls
May your bank account grow in the short and long haul
May your face glow with the brightest of hues
A spiritually uplifting new year to all of you
May your journey take you to calm inner peace
May irritation and anxiety steadily decrease
May you overcome obstacles, achieve a breakthrough
A year of poetic inspiration to all of you
May your Muse burn bright throughout the year
May your words stream and flow in verse crystal-clear
May all your efforts be rewarded with glorious good cheer
~ To everyone on Poetry Soup, a very Happy New Year! ~
