Happy New Year and Hello Again

OK, I've been remiss. I haven't posted since last May. Sorry about that.

So we'll try again to keep you up with my musings. The following has been on my mind for a while. Try it on yours.

Ode to Congress

You kept me dangling
nerves a'jangling
Upper lip stiff
On the Fiscal Cliff.

Now I'm reeling
Queasily feeling
Suspensefully dealing
With the debt ceiling.

Must we lurch
from perch to perch
without surcease
to fiscal peace?

In our lifetime?

Help!
