The Year In Review

The Third Garage

Lipitor at night,
Baby aspirin in the morning,
Recycle Thursday night,
Gone by Friday's dawning.
Day in, day out routine can be a fright,
Yikes, a whole year's gone without warning!

Full moon winter entry,
Shadows on the lawn;
Santa's boarding plenty,
It's late and my little dog yawns.

Morning paper in its blue suit,
coffee plugged and perking;
One gov in, one gov out,
Whatever! New taxes lurking.

Meadowlands' fans: brrrr,brrrr,brrrr
"Giant" Santa dressed in blue.
Eagle win, gift-rapped in gold and myrrh,
Relax! Here's our annual review:

Old Le Carre' books put a Smiley on our face,
The new Duffy record we'll embrace.

Pork dumplings, skewered lamb:
To Main St. Flushing, better scram.
Chicken Club at Crosby Street,
Toms around our little feet,
Happy I am, I am.

The new WSJ-Off Duty, old Bud Powell,
For Stonyfield Froze Yogurt,
Java, Dark Chocolate we did howl!
Karzai's getting bags of coal,
Kim & Co. took their toll,
The Mentalist's Jane & Lisbon rule!
Betty White gave us a fright,
Obama's folks think he turned right,
Tea Parties rumbled through the night,
Waiting For Superman burned so bright!

A new townhouse with 1,000 books.
A cool new, new Sherlock & his crooks.
A Crisfield steak wedge with sauce to go,
Warm baguettes from June & Ho, Ho, Ho.
Irish oatmeal from Jerry & Martha's,
Chicken Noodle from Al Dente,
Brioche from Kneeded Bread's warm hearth-a,
All of these we consumed so gently.

William Smith College, mustasched Deans,
And these were the women. Holy Anthropology!
Thanks much to Greenwich E-Room teams,
Telemetry, and the stent-orians of Yale Cardiology.

Blog-Post Fans we love you truly.
Your flames burned so true bluely!

Happy Everything
