“Sometimes I love it when God says NO”

I just noticed a trailer/house (online) for sale for 75,000 Canadian Dollars at the nudist resort 40 kilometres (40 minutes) southeast of me.
🐙

I was a member of an even closer nudist resort where I looked at a trailer once. I even took Mom and Dad with me to see it. They kept their clothes on, though. Fortunately, I did NOT move there, which was great in the long run since that resort is no longer nudist. I’m glad God sometimes says NO to our prayers. That was a prime instance of that.

“A PLACE CALLED ‘TOMORROW’”

I’ve always said,
“I should.
I should.
I should.”

You said,
“So, tell me what you’ve done.”

I said,
“Absolutely nothing.”

◆

I’ve always said,
“I will.
I will.
I will.”

You asked,
“So, have you done it?”

I answered,
“No.”

◆

I’ve always said,
“I’ll go.
I’ll go.
I’ll go.”

You asked,
“Where have you been?”

I said,
“A place called ‘Tomorrow.’”

◆

You asked me,
“Why do you fear what’s in the world?
No one can stop you!
No one can stop you!
Nothing can stop you!”

I asked you,
“Why?”

You said,
“Because you’re not moving.”

“DO I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART?”

Do I love you with all my heart?
Yes.

Am I ignoring you on social media?
Yes.

I don’t feel like answering right now.
Remember when it took weeks
To send a letter and receive a response?
Yeah, I’m old school.
That’s the ticket.

Will you hear from me in weeks?
Probably not.
I’m ignoring you.
But I love you with all my heart.

Dent papyrus with your ink
The paper speaks before I blink
And feelings felt on human shores
Are floating on a sea of white

Pound papyrus with your hammer
A speaking tongue . . . I often stammer
But you speak clearly with your poundings
Precious ink pours forth my houndings
Of death and wit and death some more
Ravens tapping at my chamber door

But death sometimes wins over a raven
A bullet takes his speech from flight
His death freeing me from this room
I escape to see the morning light

The sunrise fills my heart with romance
Love and joy
Dent papyrus with my wit
But soon again the sun is setting
The star I often call a twit
For death has been my life in musing
So often light is hidden by a devil
But when courage comes
I steal the light
By reaching through a shadow

“OPINION FACTORY”
NudistPoet.com
© Jonathan Tad Ketchen (JTK.CA)

You are an opinion factory, which is why the government wants to regulate you and shut you down. This is why you should lie to pollsters to throw a wrench in their works. Keep your opinions to yourself and take advantage of the SECRET ballot. And remember the days before social media, before the incessant urge to share what you’re thinking with the world. The 1970s and 1980s were so nice, when I could enjoy things and continue with my life without having to tweet about it and worry about what people would think, and when taking a photo with your phone was a sign of mental illness. You ask me to text you? How? I don’t have a typewriter.

Why is it so hard for me to get started,

It’s like I’ve got broken brakes AND a broken accelerator.

Thank you for all the kind wishes on my 58th birthday yesterday, New Year’s Eve! HAPPY 2026! 💖

8:44 PM (Central Standard Time) was my birth minute on New Year’s Eve 1967. However, my hospital bracelet in my baby book has the time listed as 4:88. Dyslexic health care worker. 🤣💖

As a kid, I wished I were a New Year’s baby rather than a New Year’s Eve baby. I had to start school a whole year earlier because I was born before midnight rather than after. I can still remember standing in front of the school at the beginning of the school year (with Mom) and crying. On the bright side, with a New Year’s Eve birthday, every year the whole world throws me a party with fireworks and everything.

I’m also a nit-picker, so I was mentally mocking all the NEW YEAR’S EVE 2026 signs that should have technically been NEW YEAR’S EVE 2025. NEW YEAR’S 2026 or NEW YEAR’S DAY 2026 would have been correct. But every year MORONS are in charge of graphic design at celebrations!

I didn’t even see the MOON when I took the shot. I was shooting for the STOP sign. The moon was a nice bonus. It’s like I often say to myself: “I wasn’t even trying!” to which my inner voice responds, “Exactly!”
