A Morning Moon Prayer
The Morning Moon Glows Through the CloudsOn Mobile phone or Tablet, scroll down please!
The morning moon glimmers so low in the West,
Before the sun rises, the sky to contest.
What will the day bring, the moon seems to say.
As all ‘cross the world, do the herky-jerky ballet.
Will Covid come lurking, waiting behind all our masks,
And make us think twice before every day tasks?
Or have all our jabs, and Ivermectin convinced us,
That our worries are gone, no need for this fear fuss.
Which Russian will step up, to grab our attention?
The leader? The skater? It’s beyond comprehension.
That a fifteen year old girl who’s charged with drug doping,
Distracts us from Putin, while the Ukraine he’s groping.
I read Trump’s finances might go down the toilet,
We can savor the moment, and really enjoy it.
But what does it matter when millions adore him,
I’ll go look for a cave, to hide and explore in.
The Senate and House, the foundations of Congress,
Are masters of nothing, they really could care less,
About all the aspects in which the country is lacking,
They just want your dollars, they just want your backing.
The Super Bowl’s over, the Rams are the winners,
While the Bears here in town, just hire beginners.
The half-time display was all hip-hop and glamour,
Love Snoop Dog, Love Fifty, but where’s Kanye and Hammer?
And baseball is stranded with no games approaching,
The negotiating teams could sure use some coaching.
When zillionaires squabble over dividing the big bucks,
It’s paying fans in the stands who feel like the stiffed schmucks.
We Wordle our way to achieve adulation,
When our score is the lowest we post the citation.
Do you start with “arise” or do you start with some other?
The Times of New York can now track like Big Brother.
Well, the climate’s still heating, there’s no easy solution.
We’ve got crime, we’ve got hate, we’ve got water pollution.
But the moon as it shines, on today’s early morning
Says the sun will rise soon, let’s pray a good day’s aborning.

Hi! I am Les, a practicing pathologist living in the North Suburbs and commuting every day to the Western ones. I have lived my entire life in the Chicago area, and have a pretty good feel for the place, its attractions, culture, restaurants and teams. My wife and I are empty-nesters with two adult children and a grandchild. We recently decided to downsize, but just a bit! I will be telling the story of the construction of our new home, but also writing about whatever gets me going on a particular day. Be sure to check out the “About” page to learn more about where we plan to go with this blog!
