December

In December

I will be

a baubled bangled

Christmas tree

with soup bowls

draped all over me.

Merry once

merry twice

merry chicken soup

with rice.

November

In November’s

gusty gale

I will flop my flippy tail

and spout hot soup.

I’ll be a whale!

Spouting once

spouting twice

spouting chicken soup

with rice.

BREAKING: California has a new ballot measure that will charge a one-time 5% wealth tax on billionaires. It only taxes 204 people, but will bring in $100 BILLION to fund decimated healthcare and schools. 👏 I support this 💯

“The White House is a National Park

The White House is owned by the American people and stewarded by the National Park Service.

It is more than the President's residence; it is a site for protests and national discourse about what it means to be American.”
