Goodbye and good riddance 2023

Commencement writing this poem
began December 31st: 2:24 PM

will yours truly cry

to our dear Motherland ---
I envision her as constantly enjoying freedom bliss

I live in a rose-tinted town
bowing mainly to White Western skies
bleached of blue blooded color
but also of dire Eastern dawns
with smoky red skies,
warning farmers and gardeners
taking and giving nutritional cover
under bad-blooded weather

Aunt Ethel said to Uncle Fred,
Let’s attempt the starfish in bed,
Old Ethel insisted,
Till Fred’s back got twisted,

My own world rocked,
My heart so rattled,,
My brain so shocked,
My ego so embattled

I left my wife,
When her heart was exposed
By her unfaithful ways,
The end of my married days...

Within six weeks

You don't think you owe me
Well I contend you do
On my desk, I expect a bouquet of roses
I worked thru most my childhood

Tex Lester and his sidekick Lumpy Bascom 
wiggled down the arroyo on their bellies
to better observe a latifundista trouble spot

By people they were labeled freaks.
Though of each other...

with a megatronic chime
Ladies think appointments

They keep their doctor keen
by being twenty minutes late
