into 97th year:


“That’s Life!”


Given to tears

Timing


What HAPPENED to the TIME?” asked
Lois Terrasol Marns-Ettling.


Her last question ever, so she couldn’t
reconsider.


Perhaps you can better prepare?

A Life and Death Matter


-Well, he’s finally at peace!

-How do you know that?

-I’d hate to think that Death
doesn’t end Life.

-Never hate to think anything!

-Oh?

-For example, I’m thinking of
...a sandwich.

-I see.

-Meatball and Peppers.

-TWO!

The Importance of Lists to Encompass


Life, Business, and Patriotism

Because of cyber panic, especially
fear of ransomware, CEO penciled
his new list on scraps of paper.

All these scraps lost, mislaid, something.

He remembered many points and told
his most meticulous VP.

Who relayed them in conference call.

Her demeanor even stranger than usual,
staff took the tone as sarcastic, and
disregarded everything.

Stock shot up!

Wall Street Nearly Confidential subjected
CEO to a near-endless interview.

“For all the wondrous machines,” Marcy
Marcy gushed in conclusion, “men and
women still have IDEAS!”

“From sea to shining sea!” CEO affirmed,
since 4 July approaching.

Just Life


Rita claimed: I’m exhausted! I am TOTALLY
exhausted!

Rodney laughed that “You’re always totally
exhausted.” Asked Mac how he lived with her.

“Carefully. But best is crying a full hour at the
kitchen table.”

“That’s BEST?”

“Next day she’s really wound up to DO something!”

“Purgation!” Rodney pontificated.

“I AM!” Rita answers Mac, reminding both men, too, the conversation’s about her.

“Some of the burden YOU shoulder here!”--
Rodney half-kidding Mac.

“Just life.”

Adding It Up



The Stretch

So long you dif-
fidented about. Oh

there were highlights:
your standing up! May-

be 2%, but beats most.
Hey, kids to raise, and wife
and jobs to negotiate. Want

courage? Should have been fly
on wall: so have glimpsed

scant few glints amidst
the long cowardice. But

even on flashy ramparts,
sandwiches get sent out for.

The Senator Explains

The Trio. "Hell, we
won't kill you!

Unless insisting on
obnoxious blather,

rather set you free to
pursue the slimiest buck.

But not to forget who
makes it all possible.
Mastercard or Paypal fine.

But cash preferred.
Even to women.”
