Winters and winters ago
Away at Franciscan Univ.
My first Christmas snow!

147 Gone Too Soon-Garissa

147 brothers and sisters
147 sons and daughters
147 friends and comrades
147 hopes and dreams
147 innocents lives
Killed by 147 terrorist bullets

No! you are not alone
A nation cries in grieve
We mourn in anger
counting from 1 to 147
the pain, the hurt, the anger....

God, have you forsaken us?
147 can’t just be a statistic
The ripple effect affects
A whole society, the world
Please avenge these deaths


Mourning the slain students of Garissa Univ  in Kenya, soldiers and police officers. #147isnotjustanumber

Premium Member Jabba Dabba Doooo -- Star Wars--

Jabba the Hutt has a spur up his butt
that makes him as mean as a wasp

If you stop for a look, at that glutton of glop, 
his looks will not help him a lot!

His rotten demeaner, gave Vadar the radar, 
to hide out in deep outer-space

Hutt's face and his figure could fracture a mirror
...and the glass of a whole universe!

There are millions of creatures, with much better features, 
that Jabba can never embrace!

Jabba is gruesome, a big gooey nuisance! 
He looks like a big wad of gum!

He grossed out Chewbacca.......
who likes his tobacco,.....(this may be a slip of a tongue)....,

But... a wad of his chew, missed the spittoon, 
and hit Jabba, in his hut, with a zoom !




To view this unsightly, gruesome character:
