For Auld Syne
Have a Blessed New Year!
Please Make the Most of It.

IT COULDN'T HAPPEN TO A MORE DESERVING IMBECILE, BUT WILL IT TAME DOWN HER TOO VIVID IMAGINATION? IT LOOKS AS THOUGH SHE MUST HAVE THOUGHT, "If i ACT the PART, then SURELY they will BELIEVE ME when I tell them I'M a NEGRESS."

ReplyDeleteDid younlisten to the view, kid?
DeleteSissel's version is extremely beautiful –– VERY different from Old Guy Lombardo and the Royal Canadians, and the animal PICTURES and snow scenes that go with it are truly WONDERFUL

SOME FOOD FOR THOUGHT ABOUT GOOD ALTERNATIVES TO COLLEGE:
ReplyDelete__ VOCATIONAL TRAINING __
More and more these days
___ I find myself sincerely wishin'
Our kids would aim to be a builder,
___ plumber, or 'lectrician ––
Or groundsman who trims hedges, bushes,
__ mows and weeds the grass).
Better that than Jewish, Black,
___ Female or Queer Studies
Is the gal who cooks and cleans
___ while her mate drinks with his buddies.
After he works his butt off collecting
___ other peoples' trash
He deserves a nice clean home,
___ good food, and a place to crash,
An eager warm wet pussy there
___ to meet his carnal needs,
And kids he loves and cares for
__ striving even if he bleeds.
Better to be a farmer milking cows
___ and cleaning stables
Than to study at a college where each course
___ your mind disables.
