My Daughter's Birthday

McKenzie’s Birthday by Tedi Wixom MON Feb. 13, 2012

My dark-haired daughter is turning 12 today.
I really don’t want her to grow up

I don’t want her to change in any way;

I don’t want her to get any older because

I love to watch her paint and play with clay.

She is the one who looks so much like me.

She crochets and knits making vests and caps.

On YouTube she finds designs for origami

And she folds paper into ingenious things;

Art flows from her fingertips I must agree.

She is also brainy in math like her dad

And she reads from books an hour every day

Sometimes her brothers are rude and make her sad

Nonetheless, she sings like a joyous songbird.

I’m honored to be her mother; she makes me glad!

Is This a Bribe?

A Bribe? By Tedi Wixom WED February 8, 2012

I got a call before the South Carolina Caucus.

A cheery voice said, “Mr. Obama is giving away money

            to business owners.

            Would you like to start a business?”

“Yes,” I replied.

The caller needed some information.

She asked, “In what state will your business be located?”

“Utah,” I said.

She replied, “Utah is on our do-not-call list.

            Could you hold a moment while I check something?”

When she returned, she abruptly stated,

            “We aren’t supposed to be calling people in Utah,”

            and she hung up.

This sounds very much like a bribe from Mr. Obama to me.

Utah = Republican voters and

Republican voters = no bribe money for Utah from Mr. Obama.

By the way, what are we going to do

            about that nasty National Debt Mr. Obama?

If dollars were miles, I could travel to the sun

            and back every year for 75,000 years. 

Lady Liberty

I'm afraid this is one of my darker poems, however

when more jobs in America are government jobs

and not private sector jobs, that is reprehensible!

Also, we are in massive debt to China, the communists.

Wake up America!! You've been lulled into Socialism already.

See the book Suicide of a Superpower 

National Debt Alert!!

If you think of miles in dollars -

You could travel to the sun and back

75,000 times. Think about it!

Liberty Deceased Tedi Wixom 

Lady Liberty,

   We the people of the United States

   With the right to do anything we please,

Have raped, robbed, and plundered

   ‘til sterile womb produces nothing

Except . . .

   Festering sexual scabs,

   Corruption, greed, and

Lust for cankered gold!

Because we have nothing better to do

   We want to kick you

   And spit in your face

Shoot you with our guns

   Stab you with our knives

And laugh

While the last of your blood

   Trickles

    Into the bay!

To the Moon Alice! To the Sun Mr. Obama!

To the Moon Alice! To the Sun Mr. Obama! SUN January 29, 2012 by Tedi Wixom

Remember on The Honey Mooner’s with Jackie Gleason as Ralph?

When he was displeased with his wife, Alice?

He’d double up his fist and say, “To the Moon Alice! To the Moon!”

Oh really!

How about “To the Sun Mr. Obama, To the Sun!”

The sun is about 93 million miles from Earth.

That is nearly 100,000,000 miles away – 100 million!

Now let’s compare miles to dollars for visualization.

I could travel roundtrip in miles to the Sun and back 5 times

To equal 1,000,000,000 (billion) miles – only 1 billion!

However, our national debt is just over

15,000,000,000,000 dollars – that is 15 trillion!

I could travel approximately 75,000 times roundtrip

To the Sun and back to Earth again.

That is why I believe a balanced budget is good.

Mr. Obama says being in debt to China is more important.

“To the Sun Mr. Obama – 75,000 times. To the Sun!!”

Who wants to join me in wishing him happy bon voyage?

Does this number representing our National Debt seem possible?

Mr. Obama is caring for each of us, (the father of our nation)

So we will never have to worry our pretty little heads about

Awful, nasty, National decisions like the US spending, debt, or budgets.

Who wants a budget anyway? These are the modern times – he croons

No need for things that sound so inconvenient or old fashioned.

Go to your homes; all is well. I am so popular that I can fix everything!

Plus, I am very suave, handsome, and brainy, I did attend Harvard! (Wink wink.)

All the social programs I implement will be for your wellbeing, because you are . . .

I didn’t mean to say stupid, naive, middleclass, or poor, oh no-no-no I would never

Say that out loud for anyone to hear, because I can relate. Been there, done that!

But for today, I am your King!  You are my loyal subjects, so fork over the taxes.

“To the Sun Mr. Obama. To the Sun!

Tedi's Poetry Palace: Where did the month go?: It has been a very quick month. I have been enjoying the spring-like weather we've been having. I thought there for a moment I was living in...

Everything to Me

Jesus is Everything to Me by Tedi Tuttle Wixom January 16, 2012

Jesus the Christ came as a baby in a manger

Roamed on earth as a wondering stranger.

The Bridegroom, my brother, the Bread of Life

The one who came to calm hate the strife.

Prince of Peace, Savior, and King

With his life, hope he doth bring.

Champion of children, the Holy one,

My guardian, example, God’s blessed Son.

Brother, Father, builder, and friend

Creator of Earth and worlds without end.

President, High Priest, neighbor, teacher

To the world simply a crazy upstart preacher.

Prophet, Maker, Mighty One, the Word

Timekeeper, gatekeeper, and humble shepherd.

Law Maker, Peace Maker, the Law, and the Light

Law Giver, Prayer giver, granting the blind sight.

Provider of sustenance, maintenance, architect.

Faithful, a doer, Satan’s plan he wrecked.

Healer, carpenter, builder, creator

Chief among the 12 Tribes and Mediator.

God of Israel and Savior of the World,

Fighter of Freedom with truth’s standard unfurled.

Sinless, ageless, and truth defender;

Angel and Saint, a great blessing sender.

Under appreciated while he lived on Earth

By his resurrection he gave mankind rebirth.

Let us praise his holy name every day

And serve only Him for he is the Way.
