WarnWorld2017

January 1, 2017
The beat goes on...

NewYearsDay on Sunday seems wrong.
Even the fucking Rose Parade won't happen until tomorrow!
NFL Sunday bumps all in today's USA!
Trump has become de facto President.
Obama is packing up boxes of office supplies,
While taking actions worse than stealing the W's from WhiteHouse keyboards!
Let it go...seems like sound advice.
2017 marks 50 years since my high school graduation;
Reunion in August promises to be my last road trip,
from Sherman Oaks to Toledo and back?
Limited mobility rules my world so I will try to go;
It's by no means certain.
Writing this record of random thoughts on a mostly regular basis
Is my ambition for preparing to face my fellow 67 year old Toledo Woodward High School
Classmates unseen or communicated with since 1967.
My idea is to write in my voice at the reunion,
Like talking to fellow 2017 survivors.
What have I learned?
Number one, nobody gets out alive.
Jim Morrison tried to tell us but stubborn we are,
So death creeps near first then blusters and rants till
His sickle drips death on our shoes.
Also, that humor is our best defense from accepting #1
While waiting in God's waiting room.

Have you heard the one about the kid from Toledo who ended up in Hollywood?
It is a laugh riot!
