CANCEL 2020 – OR NOT?

The following is a poem by a freelance writer, Leslie Wright, who challenged the notion of the frightfulness of this year and the wish that 2020 was cancelled. She wrote:

“What if 2020 isn’t cancelled? 

What if 2020 is the year we’ve been waiting for? 

A year so uncomfortable, so painful, so scary, so raw
– that it finally forces us to grow. 

A year that screams so loud,
finally awakening us from our ignorant slumber. 

A year we finally accept the need for change. 

Declare change. 

Work for change. 

Become the change. 

A year we finally band together,
instead of pushing each other further apart. 

2020 isn’t cancelled,
but rather the most important year of them all.”

SNOW PLOUGH 

One winter morning while listening to the radio, Bob and his wife hear the announcer say ………..

“We are going to have 4 to 6 inches of snow today. You must park your car on the even number side of the street so the snow plough can get through”. 

Bob's wife goes out and moves her car.

A week later while they are eating breakfast the radio announcer says “we are expecting 6 to 8 inches of snow today. You must park your car on the odd number side of the street so the snow plough can get through”. 

Bob's wife goes out and moves her car again. 

The next week they are having breakfast again when the radio announcer says “we are expecting 8 to 10 inches of snow today. You must park ……..” 

Then the electric power goes out ………..

Bob's wife is very upset and with a worried look on her face she says “honey I don't know what to do. Which side of the street do I need to park so the snow plough can get through?” 

With the love and understanding in his voice like all men who are married to blondes exhibit, Bob says “why don't you just leave it in the garage this time”.

ROD STEWART - CHRISTMAS LIVE AT STIRLING CASTLE 2012

Some like Rod Stewart, some don’t. I sit on the fence. It you watch the whole 50 minutes you will hear Kylie Minogue and Michael Buble. If that does not impress you fast forward to the 42nd minutes and hear Rod sing Silent Night. It that fails, then grab a Stones CD and chill out……………………….
