Gratitude Prayer – No Filter

Gr 2 Student leading:
“Thank you, Lord, for this beautiful day, for our friends and teachers…
We pray for our sick friends that they get well soon.
Thank you, too, for the child support…”

Class:
What’s child support?

T:
Oops! Friends, it’s their family’s business. Not ours...

When You’ve Written

The End
You’ve written.
The end to your adventures
You’ve written.

In five to ten years,
You’ve concluded.
The final curtain closing,
The house lights coming.

Oh, how joyous! How fitting!
That there’d be no tears.
Just singing praises
For how you’ve penned
Your very own kind of
Masterpiece.

Either I have dementia or there are more things to cuss about since COVID...

 

Even in her cussing, she felt the need to remain demure and private. It to freely express herself. This partly explains why I started cursing 

Sep 21, 2026 — Dementia can cause unexpected swearing due to changes in brain function. Triggers like changes in routine can contribute. Calm responses and

Get What’s on Sale

As one financial guru said,
“Get what’s on sale,”
So today here’s what I gathered:
A pack of red apples from BC,
Frozen mussels from Chile,
And frozen okra from India.
Apple shake it is for dessert,
And sauteed mussels with okra
A cure for my war-torn heart.

Increase in Gambling Disorders: Who started it?

 Who's protecting the youth?



All I Ever Needed

A portable typewriter.
A canopy of trees. Benches
To sit on and type. Type. Type.
A safe campus. A quiet library
With staff that hushed the loud.

No electronics. No internet.
No scrolling. No swiping.
There was no need for speed
Just pondering. Contemplating.
Endless debating. Questioning...

Who's in charge?

What's in a name?

Just give it! Give it!
T for the T Center
T for the T House
T for the T Land
T for the T Country
T for planet T.

The whole universe
The sun, moon and stars
May have the new name “T”
And no one's objecting
No one's raising his ire
We're just going to comply
Not marching to the gallows
Just wallowing in sheer lunacy!

Deadliest year on the roads

 Speeding, driving under the influence, distracted driving... Any other way to die? I'd love to have a peaceful one in my sleep. Not on the road, please. Zzz...

Zucchini: Anyone?

Our lovely principal shared her zucchini harvest some weeks back. Everyone got a small piece, so I was left with the largest one. And I’d never even bought or cooked any zucchini dish prior. So what was I to do with it? Thanks to the internet: zucchini with ground beef, zucchini-raisin pancakes, and zucchini-pear or zucchini-banana shake. And half of it is still in the freezer! Enjoy zucchini!

 
Sour pears were on sale... 
Into the blender they went.

What have we done to Johnny and Susie?

They inherited a smart home,
Not a muscle to move.
They inherited AI and humanoids,
Not a neuron to use.

Until there’s a glitch.
Until the system is down.
Until there’s service outage.

Now Johnny can’t unlock the doors.
Now Susie has to hold in her pee.
Without gadgets, children are cranky.

Now Susie can’t order meals.
Or get cash. Or shop for groceries.
And Johnny can’t start a fire.
O put up a tent. Or dig for an outhouse.
Unused brain cells are dead.

Out there, no farms. Just data centers.
Out there, no water. No lake. No river.
It’s 2050. Trillionaires live on the moon.
Johnny and Susie with no brains or brawn
Blaming their parents for something
They don’t even know…
