The Boston Red Sox - President Obama Makes His Pitch

Let's go Red Sox!

 

President Obama is in Boston for the day;

Plans to make another speech about the ACA.

Normally we'd want to hear what he has got to say...

Right now though, our only care is how the Red Sox play.

We've already got our health insurance - have for years.

We know that the systems works despite the current fears.

We can see the President is sweating blood and tears

Trying to explain the reason gum got in the gears.

I should send him prayers to help him with his current plight;

Thank the Lord Obama didn't cave in to the Right.

He could surely use the prayers to help him win his fight,

But I'm busy praying for a Red Sox win tonight.

 

Apple Picking

Going to the apple orchard; hope to pick some Macs.

Fresh picked apples in the Autumn? They're my favorite snacks.

Tart and crisp and red and green and ripened on the tree;

And, at Parlee Farms, they let you eat a Mac for free.

I know they have other kinds of apples at the farm - 

Honeycrisps and Cortlands - those have got a certain charm.

(Do not like Delicious apples; I don't think they are.)

Since the town of Tyngsboro's a short ride in my car...

And I have a craving and it's such a lovely day

Dr. Seussilitis symptoms won't stand in my way.

I will skip the petting zoo; I'll skip the hay-bale maze

But, their tractor ride is nice on warm September days.
