A Pink Hat and a Tee-Shirt Day

I'll be adding another tee-shirt to my collection.

 

6 straight years of winning their Division for the Pats;

12 of 14 years when they got new tee-shirts and hats.

Seasons of accomplishing what others only tried.

Belichick and Brady fill New Englanders with pride.

Think about the streak of wins the 2 of them are on;

Even now, with stars from older winning seasons gone,

Belichick and Brady keep on adding to their wins...

Like the one from yesterday against Miami's 'phins.

Next week, in New Jersey, they'll be taking on the Jets

Where Division rivalry's as nasty as it gets.

Belichick should focus on just getting out alive.

Keep Tom Brady playing football 'til he's 45.

Land of the Free? Home of the Brave?

 

New York and New Jersey, Illinois and, maybe, Maine

Are imposing quarantines because we've gone insane.

Fearful of the people most deserving of our praise...

I don't think the homeland's looking very brave these days.

This is not Liberia; with many dead or dying

And it only serves to keep the help they need from flying.

We stuck one nurse in a tent out in a parking lot

Without any proof Ebola's really what she's got.

Only one man treated in America has died;

Still, our politicians feel the need to pick a side.

Never mind what experts say; when everyone's afraid

Chickens roam the land where deer and antelope once played.

Christie's Road to the White House Hits Traffic

Sitting in a traffic jam is never any fun.

Drivers grow annoyed with you if you're the cause of one.

If it's due to accident, they may cut you a break;

Everyone, at some time, has committed a mistake.

Just imagine how you'd feel, however, if you learned

Traffic was intentional... ('cause Christie's team felt burned -

Didn't get endorsements from a Democratic mayor)

Payback was the reason you were stuck; just sitting there.

Seems to me it wasn't Fort Lee's mayor who felt the pain.

He was no where near the bridge...  The traffic was insane.

Governor Chris Christie says he didn't have a clue;

Says he didn't tell his close advisors what to do.

Even if you grant him that, it does seem like his style;

He's been called a bully by opponents for awhile.

Maybe now he'll try to tone the bombast down a smidge

Lest his road to Washington gets stuck up on a bridge.

Race for the White House - Please Vote

I just came from voting (and it didn't hurt a bit)

Where, if you are wondering, I didn't vote for Mitt.

Hope you'll vote Obama, too and keep him on the job.

Fill a little circle in and then your uncle's Bob.

Voters in New Jersey and New York have got it rough...

Right now they're more worried about where to live and stuff.

Polling places washed away in Sandy's aftermath.

Residents would rather find a place to get a bath.

Sometimes people wait to vote for hours in the sun;

Sons and daughters guarding freedoms their fore-fathers won.

It's a sacred obligation...  Please go out and vote.

And, if you're in Massachusetts, don't forget your coat.

My Sincerest Apologies to The Weather Channel

New York and New Jersey felt the worst of Sandy's wrath.
There's no hell that has the fury Mother Nature hath.
'though some trees and power lines lie scattered on the ground,
Here in Massachusetts we are, mostly, safe and sound.

I still have my power - only lost a tree or 3.
School's been cancelled 2 days now; the boys are home with me.

Weathermen were right and I should learn to shut my mouth.

Thoughts and prayers go out to those not too much farther south.
