The cooks are baking resolutions
That taste like nasty convolutions
So long delayed the restitutions
So why not work with substitutions?
The chastening powder of firm resolve
Is granular—it won’t dissolve,
But I’m not lost in futile time
I’m busy, busy, mixing rhyme.
I’ll cook ’08 with slack protraction
And a gentle fold of interaction
I’ll blend and whip into distraction
A sweeter batter of abstraction.
And this is how the mix is done —
With tone of nature, blaze of sun,
With reflux of nostalgic lime,
A bit of sage, a dash of thyme.
That is how you bake ’08
And then you serve it on a plate!
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

What better meal than blaze of sun,
Or tone of nature (best well done),
Nostalgic lime, some sage (or none),
Served up so well by one so fun?
Happy '08 Roberta!
Happy New Year in 2008 to you and family!
Hi sharryb, jayne, matty, buffy, Dick, susan, pauline, and joared. Lots of comment-mail for me this morning. I felt like the Queen while doing up royal responses to royal friends.
So now a cheery toast to you all and a reminder to check your comment mailbag. I don't think I missed anyone but if I did here is a special wish just for you...
Have a Very Happy Soul & Heart Prospering New Year!.
Yep, I want that scrumptious tidbit served to me EVERY year. Oh, you are a fabulous cook Roberta.
Happy times in 2008...and beyond.... ~Joy
