Taking Advantage of Michaelmas Day

Tomorrow, September 29, is Michaelmas Day. There's still time to send a greeting to a friend or relative -- and there's always a good excuse to do so. Here's a few possibilities.

To a Friend:

Here's wishing you a Michaelmas
That's cheerful, warm and homy
And filled, dear friend, with mem'ries of
The fifty bucks you owe me.


To a Neighbor:

Dear neighbor, just a word to say,
Wish you well this Michael's Day,
Wish you joy in everything,
Wish return of following:

-- one weed trimmer
-- one pair garden shears
....


To a Sister:

A cheery card to darling Sis
To wish you Happy Michaelmas,
And since we're chatting anyway --
I've had Mom since Labor Day!



Bonus Thought:

If I had my life to live over again, I think that this time I'd let Mom live it entirely.
