EDUCATION REELING

Teacher Unions demand more money

But the teachers refuse to go back to work.

The Chinese Virus is the excuse

The union wants total control

No charter schools, no private or

Parochial schools.  They have a

Marxist agenda; are against

The nuclear family and want to

Control what is being taught

And on what schedule

Who wins and who loses?

A question not hard to answer

The Blacks whose lives do matter

Are diminished as they are sent to

The worst schools which have no valid

Expectations from them.  Many never

Graduate.  They miss the father figure

In their lives and mothers are rewarded

When they have more children

Teachers have little say

They are issued orders

Union bosses benefit as they are

In charge of the money

We are dumbing down our students

And indoctrinating them at the same time

Who knows what to think?

Not the discouraged parents or frustrated teachers

We are stuck for now until we can

At last, drain the swamp

REMEMBERING WITH JOY

The yard was under my care

Offered my help in the house

When it came to the garden

I did not tend the flowers of the season

Sometime I fertilized and watered

When they drooped I snipped them off

Otherwise the deer did the sculpting

My bride loved to read and knit

She also took pride in sewing

Put her Bernina to heavy duty work

She was a great cook and

Had her famous dishes

Today the children say they are making

Mom’s lasagna, mac and cheese or taco soup

When I moved large rocks in the yard

She would point to where they should go

Her caring was sincere and she loved to laugh

She would have been 79 this year
