due recollection

it's good to have this monthly conversation
to speak across the waters without fear
allow the words exposure loud and clear
be honest sensible avoid tergiversation
truth and love combine in admiration
this is the proper happy time of year
the messengers that all our signals bear
are filled right now with joyous animation
let each of our attentions thus be given
to those who gave us life and taught
our human senses to take understanding
from all of life no need ever to be driven
out to distraction and then to be caught
by those whose bent is ever so demanding
