Many of us have received annual newsletters from friends and family members. I must admit that some of them make me a little jealous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yearly newsletters from family and friends
Always make me a wee bit jealous.
Do some families do all the wonderful things
About which those newsletters tell us?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Next month little Monty is off to Beirut,
“He will soon set the hostages free;
“And our youngest, Mandy, who is only 15,
Last June earned her Ph.D.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of these years I would like them to tell
Of the people who try and fail:
“Aunt Maudie fell off the wagon,
“Uncle Seth was sent back to jail.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And what of the true but embarrassing things
That happen to yours and mine?
“Junior was stopped for speeding,
“And we had to pay his fine.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This year our family did nothing
That could be considered as great;
We made monthly payments on all of the bills,
And only a few were late.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our youngest, Diane, is a senior,
Majoring in English at U.O.P.;
If she studies between all the parties,
Next May she will earn her degree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our oldest, Ann, was graduated last year,
She earned a business degree;
She’s on her own now, working for Xerox,
Making us proud, Mom and me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At this holiday time we think of you all,
Our family and friends far and near;
Best wishes for health and everything good,
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year<\/p>\n\n\n\n
