We all know of one

A rusty old train trestle

Or a highway,  maybe an old street

A bridge,  going from ridge to ridge

Underneath,

The secret place where as young boys we would meet

Having adventures,  climbing and playing

And telling stories that could not be beat

One day,  imagine what would cross my mind

When a stack of old 70`s porno mag`s we did find

Out with the old

And in with the new

To the year 2020 

A big screw you

The new year is here

Bringing lots of cheer

On News Years Day

I plan to do things in a new way

I will make the usual resolutions

Count down the days until

Their eventual dissolutions

One promise to myself I will keep

I will no longer mope and weep

This struggle with time I have won

So.....

While reflecting on the year 2020.

It brought a tear too my eye.

Nothing but memories of misery.

And I wondered why.

The year was very bad for me personally.

Then add the virus,  that could make me die.

I consider myself an old man.

And this has been the worse year yet,  that is no lie.

Then I sensed some relief,  2020 is almost over.

And I let out a long sigh.

Santa got stuck in the chimney.

Good thing the fire was out.

Santa said, do not worry about me.

There are more presents to distribute about.

Take my hat, and jump on the sleigh, and go finish my route.

I believed that Santa Claus would come.

On Christmas night, after I went to bed.

Down the chimney I was told.

Feet first,  that big belly,  then his red and white capped head.

A sack full of toys slung over his shoulder.

To give to me,  if I was a good boy all year,  is what Mom said.

Whatever I asked for,  Santa would put in gift wrapped boxes.

If we are going the same place.

I will blaze a new path, leave footprints, deep.

For other black sheep to follow, not hiding their face.

I was recently given a gift.

Something of mine from long ago.

The gift of talent and creativity.

Which I already had.

Buried deep.   

Under lives load of bull.

The talents we have are often hidden.

Under the very conditions that made them so.

It seems one of my talents is writing poetry.

Words that I think are wise,  

I can leave behind to read.

Long after I go.

Not even a floor.

And do not reach for the ceiling.
