Recession Toast

Here’s to still having
A job to complain about.
Here’s to those that don’t.

Have a beer to toast

Skiing

Snow falling lightly
The sun is bidding farewell
Skis off…beer opened

Watching the skiers
From my balcony above
Celebrating life!

“Join me for a beer”
I yell to the passer-bys
Too tired to hear me

I sit once again
Reminiscing ’bout the slopes
And toast the mountains!

Written by Tammie Wright.

References: Four haiku. One story.
