I hope that you enjoy the poetic account of the year in review.
My
letter is late, there has been lots to do;
But
here’s my two-thousand fifteen for you.
Where
should I start, how about today;
And
we’ll go backwards, I’ll lead the way!
January
the third is already here;
Which
means that soon I will not be near.
I’m
already waiting for the plane;
What
am I thinking, am I insane?
The
end of the year was a lot of fun;
All
over the province I did run.
To
Regina, and Humboldt, and Saskatoon too;
I
wish I could spend time with each of you.
But
in those two weeks the visits were grand;
Very
close to my heart I keep my home-land.
And
all the people who make it home;
It
is back to you that I’ll always roam!
November
was busy, as it always is;
With
report cards and birthdays and other such biz.
Karaoke
with friends helped to pass the time;
I
wonder if I could sing this rhyme.
And
in November an announcement was made;
My
time in SUB was not yet to fade.
Next
year the principal I will be;
I
really must say I am proud of me.
October
was lovely, we had a break;
But
there was no journey that I planned to take.
A
staycation was just what I wanted the most;
After
a thanksgiving feast I did host.
October
also meant Halloween fun;
If
there was a costume parade I’d have won.
I
was the cutest Minnie in sight;
Don’t
try to deny it - you know that I’m right.
And
that takes us now to plans for September;
It
was so long ago I can’t hardly remember.
I
went to Mt. Bromo and climbed to the top;
But
once I was there, Asthma said, KINDLY STOP.
So
that’s what I did for the next several weeks;
I
coughed and I wheezed and was red in the cheeks.
But
Asthma calmed down and I was fine and dandy;
And
next time I’ll keep my inhaler right handy.
August
was staring the school year again,
I
met lots of people who I now call my friends.
The
year started so good, I really must say;
That
it makes my job great at the end of the day.
July
back at home saw the old and the new;
I
caught me a fish, but not in a canoe.
I
spent time with family and friends while at home;
All
over the province is where I would did roam.
As
I think about June, it was a hard time;
And
I can’t make it better even with rhyme.
Three
special souls left this earth far too soon.
Tina,
Luigi and Sharon, their names,
Enriching
the lives in whose contact they came
May
was the wrap up for much of the year;
I
think if I could everyday I’d drink beer!
The
end of the year is always busy and mad;
And
when it was over I was so really glad.
My
mom came in April and it was sublime;
We
travelled to Lombok for some Tugu time.
We
learned to cook spicy Indonesian cuisine;
It
was the most beautiful Tugu we’d ever seen.
A
whole week was spent in Singapore too;
And
if Mom wasn’t there I would have been mighty blue.
My
shoulder was being a pain the arse;
And
quality physio in Indo is sparse.
A
rotator cuff repair was the fun;
During
February break, while my friends found the sun.
The
doc sewed me up and sent me on back;
It
would be quite a while before I was on track.
A
few complications meant it would take long;
For
my shoulder to heal and not end up all wrong.
It’s
not perfect yet, but it’s well on its way;
To
be as it should be at the end of the day.
And
lastly, January, a whole year ago;
I
don’t quite remember what happened and so
With
that I will end my poem for this year
And
hope that your Christmas was filled with much cheer.
And
may this new year bring peace, love, and joy;
To
each man and woman, to each girl and boy.
