Some folks never become a father or a mother
\nI think some \u201cothers\u201d deserve a day of honor
\nafter problems with a significant other
\nit should not mean they are a social goner
\nso each endures a separation survival
\nand begins a search for an \u201cother\u201d revival
\ndo they need a Survival\/Revival Day
\nhow about Bachelor\u2019s or an Old Maid\u2019s Day
\n\u201cOthers\u201d can be all those and still Uncle\/Aunt
\nThere is Father\u2019s, Mother\u2019s and Groundhog Day
\nMemorial, Veteran\u2019s and Independence Day
\nD-Day, Liberation Day and President\u2019s Day
\nneighbor\u2019s in Japan celebrate \u201cChildren\u2019s Day\u201d
\nwith respect and honor to fathers and mothers
\nlet\u2019s have a day to celebrate all the \u201cOthers.\u201d

\nA Food Conservative Repressive
\n\u00a0
\nI read a lot about Liberal Progressives
\nin agreement perhaps I am such a person
\nDC GOP seems Conservative Repressive
\nfrom 45 and Moscow Mitch take lessons
\na senescent old pilgrim in a divided land
\na muscle builder has a six pack of abs
\nmy body crumbles and fat takes command
\nlooking at myself I see a six pack of flabs
\ngot a pound of fat under each of my arms
\nthree girdles of fat wind around my waist
\neating too much from beef and pork farms
\nsweet salty snacks filled with sugary paste
\nstay away from fat and be more aggressive
\nI\u2019ll become a food conservative repressive.<\/p>\n
