Ice cream waffle cones
history lesson given to
friendly staff member
With dazzling sights and activities in abundance,
New arrivals are shepherd into the hotel.
Be it entertainment, food, fashion, or whatever else
The guests are lured in.
No need to pretend, act humble, or show off
You've paid your way to this hotel.
You're worthy of this attention.
All fanfare is your ego and appreciation you believe
you are owed.
Everything you receive is what you deserve.
Say thanks to yourself,
Revel in all you can take.
Gorge yourself in this experience.
Sinking in luxury till your blood turns to gold.
Hoard anything and everything, neither I or a staff member
will stop you.
Fellow guest is whom who will challenge you.
Last as long as you can and put up a good fight,
As more guests arrive.
Please, do not ask me...
To pee in a cup!
Oh, that divine thrill an MD commands!
To have us pee in a cup~an experience so
far from thrilling,
Especially, even more so,if your bladder is
not willing!
You have to call in an unhappy staff member,
To run the water for you, as when you
were a child, now,recall do!
And she has to sing "Tiny Bubbles in the
Water" to you, too?
More embarrassment comes, when only two
drops fall in that ignominious plastic cup.
And your name is emblazoned on the
outside of it, much like the Stanley Cup!
Perhaps, I should carry it above my head?
As the great,Wayne Gretzky once did!
To the cheers and applause of the others,
Hysterical and believing..that I truly and
Absolutely lost my lid!
Bring on the Molson, eh?

Some Trump Staff Member
A Trump staff member finally did confess;
When you do want to straighten out mess;
Accept dare;
Then share;
Prepare and send letter to Associated Press.

Dr. McNitt’s coming, we were warned. She’s old-school.
Secretly my heart was cheering, this meant strict rules.
Seasoned and sassy, I wisely kept my counsel to myself,
I am so glad though she is coming back 6 months off the shelf.
The evaluations aren’t finished, lamented a young teacher, year one.
She was scared because classroom management, this turkey has practically none.
Dr. McNitt arrived the day after conferences, ripe and ready.
I’m terrified of her, a co-worker said. (She never was too steady).
Dr. McNitt’s bark was gruff, but she truly has a gentle heart of gold.
Best of all, we’re on the same wavelength, seasoned and bold.
Today I hear her talking with another staff member through the wall.
Dr. McNitt’s advice is sound, and her fearless spine stands tall.
She gets along exceedingly well with everyone here,
And her pup Winston spreads daily doses of goodwill and happy cheer.
She’s leaving Friday, and although it’s two days, I am mourning already.
If she gets a new dog, she’d better name her Caren, not Poindexter or Freddy.
In a word, I love you, Dr. McNitt, You’ve done a bang up job!
Come back in a heartbeat, you remind me of Bette, and Cher and Maud!
I beat witchcraft once again
Jesus said,"The migraine won't hurt
I won't keep throwing up!"
Once again
Hahaha dats my victory laugh
Because of my Faith
I stood hell's test
I've gotten another chance
To see Jesus' best
Of His Holy Word come true
In my life yet
Man I've gotten headaches before
But Jesus had greater victories for me in store
While others complained
I thanked every staff member at Mt.Sinai
Queens and more
For it was Christ who opened that do
To fill me up with the best food and medication ever
For this I will praise my Jesus
My Lord forevermore
