As we think of him today

Our families together...

Salad & garlic croutons
A noodle stir fry
Sweet & sour diced chicken

I watched 'Buns of Steel'
  'cos I wanted the real deal

    Did all the exercises

A new day has begun
Maybe we will have some fun
Like playing in the sun
Might spend time with a loved one
While making some hot cross buns
Could build a chicken run
I will definitely try to leave nothing undone
As a new day has begun

Sloppy Santa spent his Christmas jolly 
Until in folly he sat on holly
Yet Old Saint Nick laughed like a loon.
Bright eyes twinkling, his cap did doff
Watching a rich eggnog run off
With his dear sweet hot cross bun, soon
To a damp honeymoon spittoon.
Santa saw it, please do not scoff.

Black stars in a white sky,
Outside, an aloe plant rustles in the wind,
As out of place as dead people whispering.

Listening to Fall Out Boy's 'Centuries'
Remember me...

Of a day-time moon,
This hot-cross bun blazoned across a handful
Of wayward seasons.
And I am not making any promises,
But this side of having a cold, far out stars
Are inextinguishable....
