Seasons Greetings 2010

by Laurie Kolp

Life is like a merry-go-round at the zoo

A year in review can be like that, too

Sometimes it spins fast, sometimes slow

So step right on and watch the Kolps go

Pete flew through the year working real hard

New projects he started for the shipyard

I freelanced and authored a bevy of work

Published a bit, typed like a clerk

School always comes first, the kids do well

Swirling with honors at June’s final bell

Katie danced, sung and acted in New York for a while

Then jumped to middle school with a smile

Andrew karate-chopped his way to green belt

Camped with the scouts, grew big and svelte

Nicholas flattered every person he met

Placed on the swim team, all summer stayed wet

We turned around and it was Christmas again

The year had been fun and a memorable spin

MERRY CHRISTMAS

&

Happy New Year
