Kickass, the doorstop dog, with the keeper and Phyllis on the cool, fog-shrouded Sunday morning of 9/14/25:
ONE FOGGY DAY
“Welcome, Fog, to our world of fools.
“Blur, for us if you would
“The things we should do if we could:
“Pitiful, starving kids, what are the rules?
“Slaughtered by push button slaves
“Using bombs from our factories galore
“By narcissistic men in an ego war.
“Killing more to fill more graves
“Guns! Guns! Guns everywhere.
“Killing kids and others each day.
“’Thoughts and prayers,’ is that the way
“We stumble through another day?
“Come on, fog, lift us a break
“Tell us how far we should go
“In reacting to the awful daily show
“While living our lives of champagne and steak?”
