Valentine's Day

Valentines Day by Tedi Wixom TUES Feb, 14, 2012

I get excited about Valentine’s Day

The time of love and hearts;

I think of the people I cherish in life --

The ones who don’t need Cupid’s darts.

I appreciate my neighbors next door

And the ones who lives three houses down;

Also, the ones who live across the street

They are the closest of friends in town.

I love my children and my husband

And I love my grandchildren too.

I’m grateful for the nurture from Jesus

And for the blessings from him that accrue.

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!
