I drew a Butterfly For You


For my darling Niece Rachel

May christmas be a time
Of Great Happiness
And may a Prince
Come your way one day.
A real Gentleman
No less
I apologise
I drew a Butterfly for you

I have had the most Blessed Weekend..........

I went to visit my friend Maggie
Who is Beautiful
And her lovely Daugther
Rosa
Who is my God Daughter
And I witnessed
Terry take his Ordination Vows
Again
And I renewed my Baptism Vows
And to Top it off
The Bishop
Thanked me for my Singing
I'm so happy
Then I went
To the Opening
Of the Waihi Museum Exhibition
And was entertained by the Three Graces
And others

Against The 90 Day Bill

If we don't want
The Mentally Ill
To Work
Then this is the Bill of choice
Because it will only increase their anxieties
To be under the Microscope
For ninety Days
Is Similar to Interrogation
That is my personal Opinion

I was happy until I wrote a note to my brother

On a Christmas Card
I was trying to say
That if I was Wealthy
I would look out for my Siblings
Like my friend Donna
Does for her Sister
But it did not make me happy
But it makes me very Sad
Because we have a family
Who's values are based on the Capitalist Model
That shuns and disdains the weak, the disabled
and those that may have been considered meek in a gentler era.
I am sorry that Labour
Sold National down the river to pick up a huge debt once again
But I'm sure that with fresh thinking
You will find a way
I still think the Tax cuts prejudice the poorer person
but Labour was no different in that regard
And I admire your Compassion and Concession
Towards Low income earners
In regard to Kiwi Saver
It is a good start!

P.S

I got told off by my Doctor.
In such a kind way
That I am not offended.
But at least I have found
The Secret
Of being at Peace

Paddling up the River on the Onemuri

My Friends and I went on a voyage on the Onemuri . It was such a fun day that I would recommend it. The boat was painted in Grey and Green and Red and White. She a Solid Old Paddle Boat that can go like a Rocket in Optimum Conditions. Good to see people restoring things that were built in a time when Obsolescence was not planned. I loved the two flags.

It's Midnight


My Carriage

Has not become a Pumpkin

And I am home again

Safely

I had a Wonderful Evening

At the Burrowing Bully

And I took a Tequilla Sunrise Rose

And I gave it to a Lady

I thought worked there.

Never mind

I can take another!

I thoroughly enjoyed myself

And Johnnie Mulvay has a fine Commission

On Display

At the Music Shop

in Waihi

I was given the last bunch of Sweet Peas

By my Elvin Friend Graham.
They were all colours
And the Fragrance
Intoxicating

Once upon a time there was a pretty rose that bloomed in my Garden called Fresia.

I believe there is a Code

In America called Star 69
It would be Quite useful in New Zealand!
Apparently it tells the caller the County or Area where the person who last called came from.
Merry Christmas

Xmas Jandal


Christmas Jandal xx..

My Mum told me

To put my jandals on

And hurry

So I told her I

Would put on my Jandals

And run all the way

And I'm sure my mother

Was probably

Praying

Considering some of my Past Antics

I took my Christmas Angels

For a Road Trip

To see Mum

Actually

The Little one stayed home

And then I went

To a Church Dinner

And I could imagine the Angels of God

Among the Choir of Singers

And Debbie

Played the Violin

And Blessed me

With her Performance

With a Clever Pianist

Who taught herself

The food was Delicious

The Company

Welcoming

And Kind

And I even had Opportunity

To do some Christmas Shopping

And buy some Blessing Beads

I gave my Angel

And received a Parcel

For my Tree

Thank you to the Lovely Ladies

Who organised it

And to the men

Making light work

Of the Chores
The 1/4 Moon
And Two Stars
Were visible
Through my Window
Tonight.

The Love of the Goddess

My loving Partner
Peter
Told me
That I Can't
Take the Painting
The Love of the Goddess
To the Church
But that is my Point
Exactly
I shall not take it to the Church
As he has requested
But last Night
I jumped out
My Bathroom
Window
And danced
In my White
Nightie
Around the Roses
For Freedom
And For Hope
For a World
Free of the Tyrannies
Of the Old Ways
For the Hope
Of Paradise
On Earth! Again
Unfortunately Excluding
All those Species
That have been lost to Our Own Greed!
