MMIX
Amid the economic gloom
will shine spirits-surging rays,
cold February will change his tune
and truncate old winter's days.
La Nina, tantrum-throwing bint,
brewed each tropics-produced fuss;
having prolonged her tempestuous stint,
will take springtime leave of us.
The Gulf Stream will turn on the charm
and hike his fuel allowance,
while sunspots cheer life on the farm -
barring misreads of portents.

2009 Contract

by Michele Monro

After serious & cautious consideration . . .
Your contract of friendship has been renewed for the New Year 2009!
It was a very hard decision to make. So try not to screw it up!!!
My Wish for You in 2009
May peace break into your house and may thieves come to steal your debts. May the pockets of your jeans become a magnet for $100 bills. May love stick to your face like Vaseline and may laughter assault your lips! May your clothes smell of success like smoking tires and may happiness slap you across the face and may your tears be that of joy. May the problems you had forget your home address! In simple words . . May 2009 be the best year of your life!!!

Minnie Louise Haskins in 1908 wrote..
I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year
'Give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown.'
And he replied, 'Go into the darkness and put your hand into the hand of God
That shall be to you better than a light and safer than a known way!'
A Very Happy, Healthy and Peaceful New Year to you all.
Marian and Peter.

Thank you Michele, Anne, David and Marian.
'May God lead you gladly into the night and
the breaking of day in the lone East.'
Good luck and God bless you in 2009.

For those with nostalgic thoughts, or those away from their homeland........
It is Ten Weary Years Since I Left Englands Shores
In A Far Distant Country To Roam.
How I Long To Return To My Own Native Land.
To My Friends And The Old Folks At Home.
Last Night As I Slumbered I Had A Strange Dream.
One That Seemed To Bring Distant Friends Near.
For I Dreamt Of Old England The Land Of My Birth.
To The Hearts Of Her Sons Ever Dear.
Chorus...
I Saw The Old Homestead And Faces I Loved.
I Saw Englands Valleys And Dales.
I Listened With Joy As I Did When A Boy.
To The Sound Of The Old Village Bells.
The Light Was Burning Brightly
T'was The Night That Should Banish All Sin.
For The Bells Were Ringing The Old Year Out.
And The New Year In.
