Extra, Extra! 12/5/25

Fun Fact

To preserve the length of the holiday shopping season, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed legislation in December 1941 that decreed Thanksgiving would always fall on the fourth Thursday of November. Thanksgiving had been celebrated on the last Thursday of November, which in some years was the fifth, since 1863.

I am so hungry 

But I do not want to cook

Find me some takeout

Pizza, sushi, or maybe  

Some spicy noodles will do

“December: A month of lights, snow, coziness, and feasts; time to make amends and tie up loose ends; finish what you started and make your wishes come true.” —Unknown

Tree of Whispers

In the arms of the tree, whispers of the past,
A haven of hope where spirits run free.
Branches stretch out like arms, wide and free,
A tapestry woven where memories last.

Silly Poems

Republished

Silly poems are fun to write,

About things both big and slight.

Handle, stick, and pole so tall,

They stand up straight and never fall.

Grab the handle, hold on tight,

It’ll help you with your might.

The stick is thin, the pole is long,

In this silly poem, they belong.

So next time you see a handle, stick, or pole,

Remember this poem, it’s good for the soul!

Poetry

Midnight Whispers

City lights flicker in midnight’s hush,

Streetlamps shimmer, neon blush.

Footsteps echo on empty ground—

Silent thoughts the only sound.

Poetry

Soft Nostalgia

In the stillness of the night, memories gently reverberate,
Through the corridors of time, they softly resonate,
Echoes of laughter and tears intertwine,
In the chambers of the heart, they enshrine,
Timeless, bittersweet melody, forever innate.
Amidst the silence, their whispers still resonate.
