“As Daddy said, life is 95 percent anticipation.” Gloria Swanson
Anticipation for the Daily Post
Up the River
Up the Swanee River
In anticipation
Awaiting
What the waters will deliver
Will it be dengue fever?
Will there be falling timber?
A very cold winter?
Maybe Long John Silver?
Never mind,
We are still awaiting
In anticipation
What the waters will deliver

Anticipation for the Daily Post
Ship Ahoy!
Ship ahoy!
This is not a ploy
But the real McCoy
We even invited Floyd
And now,
We are ready to deploy
On a trip of joy!

Anticipation for the Daily Post
Lift-Off
With growing anticipation
Waiting to leave this station
Without any hesitation
Travelling across the nation
In one big celebration
But…
“What is the hold up?
We are ready for lift off!”

“Night walks with a heavy step
Round yard and hearth,
As the sun departs from earth,
Shadows are brooding.
There in our dark house,
Walking with lit candles,
Santa Lucia, Santa Lucia”
Sankta Lucia
The bearer of light
For the future to shine bright
With all her might
Like the shining white knight
Her sword will smite
All the anger and spite
The world to rewrite
Without war or fight
Sankta Lucia

“I like to make the mundane fabulous whenever I can”
Rufus Wainwright
Red Bike
Ride, ride, ride the red bike
Gently down the road
Because it’s frozen winter time
And it’s a slippery slope!

“Win or lose,
we go shopping after the election”
Imelda Marcos
Shopping Mall Deer, Part Two, Going Cartoon
I am Eddy,
The shopping mall reindeer
A big plastic piece of work
This side of the hemisphere
So did this little tune
And ended in a cartoon
Watch me now,
And don’t confuse me with a cow
As I am starring
With all you shoppers sparring
I am Eddy,
The shopping mall reindeer
A big plastic piece of work
This side of the hemisphere

Imelda Marcos
Shopping Mall Deer
I am Eddy,
The shopping mall reindeer
A big plastic piece of work
This side of the hemisphere
Some say, I am a little queer
But when they see me oh so very near
They say, after a few drunken beer
I am the prettiest thing this year
So come on closer and my song hear
For I am Eddy,
The shopping mall reindeer

Our Land
Oh Our Land Finland Fatherland
Echo Loudly Golden Word
No Valley No Hill
No Water Shore More Dear
Than This Northern Homeland
This Precious Land Of Our Fathers
No Valley No Hill
No Water Shore More Dear
Than This Northern Homeland
This Precious Land Of Our Fathers
One Day From Your Bud
You Will Bloom
From Our Love Shall Rise
Your Hope Glorious Joy
And Once Your Song Fatherland
Higher Still Will Ring
From Our Love Shall Rise
Your Hope Glorious Joy
And Once Your Song Fatherland
Higher Still Will Ring

“We may have all come on different ships, but we’re in the same boat now”
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Row, Row, Row Your Boat
A boat filled with flowers
Was a little too crowded for the rowers
So instead, they rode a lawnmower
Before the grass grew any taller
