No Poem Today

I have a poem, but it's not ready to share.
I attended a convention and the first speaker was terrible!
In order to pass the time, I wrote a poem while he was talking.
I think it's pretty good but I'm running it by the Writer's group for review first.
Only the best for my blog readers.

45 years ago today Thelma and I were married at Kreske Chapel.
It was on the National College campus, where we met.
That is now the Saint Paul School of Theology campus.
Since Thelma has to work and I SHOULD BE at that convention,
we went out to our regular saturday breakfast place,
The Corner Cafe.
We allowed ourselves to split a cinnamon roll.
Now I want you to know these rolls are huge.
So now Thelma is at work and I'm finishing up preparations for Sunday's service.
I'm preaching that sermon which goes with my poem of a couple of says ago,
"Crooked Politics Go Back a Long Way."

So, I just wanted to drop by in case you checked the blog out today.
I feel that if I don't write something (preferably poetry) regularly,
you won't drop by very often.
Have a good day.
Don't forget to give thanks for your Father.
You, who are fathers, be sure to live a life so you children can honestly be thankful for you.

Well, I did drop in but evening instead of morning.

Waiting to watch those Cardinals

I remember that wedding. My wick was too short and Mary Helen came to my rescue.
