Xena’s Poem on Thankful Thursday

Published on by Xena, Lucy and Chia

My first thankful is for Angel Brian, who is hosting Thankful Thursday, as well as Angel Sammy for the great picture every week! *yawn* I had to get up early this morning, even before breakfast, so Chia couldn’t pull what she did last week, stealing my picture poem! As if I wouldn’t know!Now for the picture and my poem.

New River Apartments (or New Jersey, New York) by Xena

New York City is full with new folks moving there.
There’s no more apartments and just enough air.
The mayor said, “No more!” The Jersey folks, compliant,
Turned back.
But New Jersey refused saying, “No! You’re not fans of the Giants!”

They all hauled their boats to the river named Hudson
After stopping at Costco to buy meat, fruit and onions,
Plus all else they needed for in the river to stay.
Now residents of neither, no state income taxes they pay!

The End

Xena: They shoulda just come to Tennessee. I heard that we don’t have to pay state income taxes here, either.
Lucy: Have you seen the traffic on the way to work and back? It’ cause of all the new apartments going up and all the folks moving outa places where they have hurricanes! They heard it’s nice here, and it is! But I want to get home after work to have my supper and it’s really slowing things down!
Chia: I think that looks like it would be fun to jump from boat to boat, saying hi to everyone and gobbling up whatever food is sitting out!

Xena: Oh wait! I almost forgot about our thankfuls! Let’s see…I’m thankful I got to go to work TWO times last week and again this week! And I’m thankful for the sunshine and time outside with Mommy.

Lucy: I’m also thankful for our time outside. I love to lay in the sun. And I love to run over to the nextdoor neighbors to visit with the kids. (They love me, too!) And I’m thankful that Mom ordered me a new name and phone number tag for my collar. My old one got lost. Hey, what do your tags say?
Xena: Mine says, “Help me, I’m lost.”
Chia: Mine says, “Oh Crap, I’m lost.”
Lucy and Xena: *rolling on ground laughing* Yep, that’s so you, Chia! *still laughing*

Chia: Well, I guess that’s it for today folks. Have a great weekend and don’t get lost!

  17. You can not run from the weather, there are no hurricanes in Augusta GA but last year Helene hit the dead on as a cat 2 and they were not prepared and what a mess, no power for 2 weeks. all the people who live here are moving out but there are more coming here, they are building 6000 houses on the road to the beach, only 3 miles from the beach and we can’t get to the beach now. we have not been in years. also its 1 mile from WM and we can’t get there now. traffic is a huge problem here

    great poem, wild clapping.

  21. What a cute poem!! I had no idea the snowbirds who retired to Florida were moving to Tennessee now to escape the hurricanes. I’m used to them clogging up the mountain roads around Asheville and sending housing prices through the roof. I guess after the floods in North Carolina last year they decided Tennessee is a better bet? And do your name tags really say that? If so, how FUNNY!!!!!

  23. That is a clever poem, Xena!

    And those last few sentences made us giggle a lot! Our tags just have our name and some phone numbers.
