The year in rhyme I’m doing again
When will this writing ever end
But it’s like a memoir of the year
If you don’t care about it just skip to here
Six weeks in Florida via Auto Train
A week at home and we left town again
Hawaiian cruise was lots of fun
Covid greeted us when we were done
Time at home during the summer
Pickleball, concerts, never a bummer
River cruise, Paris to Prague
A little rain but never fog
A visit to Chatham is always a treat
Beautiful weather and lots to eat
Williamsburg and Hilton Head ended our run
Our travels for the year were just about done
Girls trip to Chicago for Laura, Greta and me
Grandson there in college we went to see
And it would be remiss of me if I didn’t roar
Great grandchild count is now at four
This is the latest I’ve written this rhyme
And since I am quickly running out of time
Let me steal the ending of 2008
Which is also appropriate for this date
"May your health be outstanding and your family’s too
May you share time together the entire year through
May your joys be many and your sorrows few
These are the wishes we send to you
And one more thing that would make us whoop
Is if our portfolios would quickly recoup"
Happy Holidays

Note: 1/30/23 - I never sent this to anyone other than my immediate family this year. Just didn't feel up to it since I wasn't feeling good.
