It's Friday...

...and it's time to donate a pint,
not a hard thing to do, do you think you might?
Just go to the Red Cross, they are everywhere,
go ahead, just do it, that's a double dare!

I try to go in regularly, at some sort of scheduled time,
but sometimes I get off track, it's not their fault, it's mine.
It takes about an hour, most of the game's a waiting one.
the donation lasts about ten minutes, then you're done.

Yesterday was very good, but, a little cool,
ol' man winter's just around the corner, he's no fool.
it was in the twenties, give a degree or so,
better now than when - it's twenty below!

The walking seems to be, back on track for now,
but with winter arriving it's...watch out! Snow plow!
see what I mean there, things are going to change,
I'll have to walk inside and that's not in my range.

Today is not be different in any sort of way,
walking, coffee, meeting - unless things go astray,
then to the Red Cross, it's Friday of the eighth week,
and I can lay right down and hope this damn thing doesn't leak!

Please visit http://www.theanimanrescuesite.com/ and give the pets a chance,
there even places for horses, like the Last Chance Ranch.
And of course there are people who need a little boost,
sometimes it's hard to get up - when you've fallen from your roost.

And remember to Keep It Simple, a catchy little phrase,
but you still have to do it, if your spirit's going to raise;
try it, it's not difficult, and gets better given time,
and many wishes for good luck, to your families and mine.

Enjoy!
