Celebrating With Pride

Shooed the bug away, realizing too late

It's a ladybug, real life is exhausting 


White pickup truck, moving slow revved powerfully, 

Trying to create strife is exhausting


Joy from youthful bubble chasers challenging

The rainbow globes half-life is exhausting 


Black pickup follows the white, slowly, other direction

Still looking for wildlife is exhausting 


Many chats, introducing folks, connecting the dots 

All good work, improving our whole life is exhausting 


Painting Venus, in shaded tent, renders the gazebo

Prideful colored as still life is exhausting


Ladybug returns, must be telling you something Sherlock 

You know reporting on goodlife is exhausting

Gov Patrick says

We better start behaving
Like we are members
Of the same community

What is a sherku?

This is a "found" poem - Governor Patrick said this during his visit to Franklin on Sunday (5/17/09).
