Ode to Friday Donuts

Dear Members and Constituents, Friday morning has arrived What a day, hip, hooray! Feels so good to be alive, feel the breeze, if you please. Looking up into the sky It’s all blue How about you? Cannot frown although I try Life is good, it’s understood. Driving in I found no theme, what to say this fine day? All I could do was to dream, just relax to the max. Till I got here then it hit me I must write it’s the rite. Call to action, come and see they arrived donut time. Our boy Brad Christian has done great a deluge some are huge. Grab a couple it’s your fate Please enjoy boy, o boy! Happy Friday!

Mad Media. Delicious Donuts.

Dear Members and Constituents, Is it just me, or is the press intent on making a bigger deal than usual of things this week? Daylong programming on a single topic, rehashing the old hash with no new news. Don’t get me wrong, I like to be as informed as the next man, and I do feel for the folks who lost their homes. But rambling on-and-on about the goings-on without a shred of new news. Flaming arguments over burning documents. Reporters report about reports they should not have reported. Making a big deal about having made a big deal of the mad dealings of a madman. Seems a bit much. So, I’ve decided to do this week’s news in verse. Smoke in Boulder getting looks Crazy pastor threatens books Burning homes. Burning tomes. Can’t we all just get along? All hold hands and sing a song? Radical Christian. Radical Islam. No more burning, let us barter Build your mosque a little further Towers’ stump. Donald Trump? Why should tensions build so high? Have a donut, do not fight Feeding anger. Fe...

Mid-Summer Morning Dream

Dear Members and Constituents, The morning's delightful the day's not too hot this note may be artful or maybe it's not The economy is scary but trends seem more stable it has people weary though food's on most tables And speaking of eating the donuts are ready so stop all that reading and plot a new heading For Carlos Belloso brought five dozen donuts each one looks "hermoso" (beautiful in Spanish) now come-on, get on it! Happy Friday!

Ode to the Attack Ad

Dear Members and Constituents, A wise man said, (or so I've read) of politics don't shout. In spite of it, I must admit the ads I'd do without. Dirt, mud, slime, muck. These ads just suck, regardless of persuasion. Mislead, attack. Can't take that back, you've said it to the nation. If you believe a dem as chief is an "Obama-nation"; Or you disdain John S. McCain as "Bush re-incarnation", I'll tell you what I think of that: I have a disposition to cast their type (despite the hype): as crafty politicians. When all is said, we've been mislead to think we have more choices. When all is done, they're mostly one despite their different voices. With all this bull we all should pull to hasten this election. Just roll the dice. No, don't think twice. Be done with the selection. I've said my peace, my mind's at ease, thank God that Friday's here. There's donut choice, thanks to Ms. Reuss. Come fill your heart with cheer! H...

Ode to a couple dozen donuts

Dear members and constituents, What a beautiful day, Friday. Even though the week is almost over and the thought of being away from the office for a couple of days greatly pains us all, the fact that those sweet pastries with holes in the middle are here to comfort us and bring us joy is an inspiration to me. So much sweetness and goodness packed into such a small, round package. This week, the donuts brought in by Ed have taken over my will and possessed me to write a small poem in their honor: On Fridays there are donuts Or else I would go nuts What pleasure, what joy Yet o, so discreet O goody!, o boy! These pastries so sweet… I could go on, but will spare your cultivated sensitivities the rest of this childish rhyme. Suffice it to say Donuts are here, come and get them!!! Happy Friday,
