Wouldn’t it be nice –
If we turned blond –
Instead of grey –
As we grew old?
‘Tis but a shade away

Notes to this poem…
I get my happiness here –
You get your happiness there –
Should we share?
Should we compare?
So there –
Can be happiness everywhere?

Notes to this poem…
Hey!
Just wanna say –
I haven’t –
Spent –
A cent –
Except for rent –
This month of May –
Until today –
The 13th day –
Yay!
Hip! Hip! Hooray!

I am back –
In Halifax –
From southern latitudes –
With new attitudes

Gonna do my laundry naked –
So everything will be clean –
In my apartment to welcome in –

Notes to this poem…
2016 was the year –
I lost patience with my world –
And faith in humanity –
Though not yet in Destiny

Notes to this poem…
Reunions in 2016 –
Many there have been –
Some were by chance –
Others were by plans –
Still others were plans
Afforded by chance –
Most were real –
But some were virtual –
Waiting to become real

Notes to this poem…
Why is the right –
Still called the right?
When it is wrong –
And has been wrong –
On so many things –
For so long?

Notes to this poem…
Remembering those who fought or died –
In the war from where –
My family and I had to flee –
And remembering those who fought or died –
In the wars for where –
My family and I could be free –
A sincere thank you from me

Notes to this poem…
It is nice –
To be considered for love –
Even if ten years late –
But I’ll pass –
Not so much for the slight –
As the lack of insight

Notes to this poem…
I wish that
Nova Scotian women –
Would give me a tenth
Of a chance –
They give to local men –
When it came to romance

I have what you need –
You have what I need –
Let’s put them together –
To get what we want –
And live happily –
Ever after
