June-teenth Blues

Hangin' out here at the house...now a retiree

My wife is also retired...but I'm getting rather bored (nearly).

 

Granted this is a day when african-americans are celebrating emancipation

It all began on June 19 of 1865 with the signing of that historic proclamation.

It's been a bittersweet, yet peaceful day on the porch of my house

Watching the cars go by...and trying to be peaceful and quiet as a mouse.

 

My son's car is still awaiting repairs and he lost his billfold

And his drivers license and debit card with it..hoping it won't become a financial stranglehold.

I'm prayin' to good 'ol St. Anthony that his billfold can be found.

Whilst I am searching the house to find it...without making a sound.

 

My wife bought me a silver cross men's necklace for Father's Day

And am hoping we can both head back up to Norther Michigan

And to hopefully celebrate a second honeymoon at Mackinaw City (and vicinity)

On some sweet vacation getaway day.

 

But in the meantime I am appalled and abhorred with what's continually goin' on

Dudes crossdressed like babes...(so sickening and creepy) which I find so morally wrong.

This is supposed to be a day of the celebration freedom for the black community

Instead of a lame excuse for in 'yo-face perverted sexuality!

 

(feeling sad....scared....and very MAD!)

    Going to Northern Michigan? I'm from Michigan! Also I liked the ending where it gets sick and twisted sometimes, doesn't it?? Great poem.
