Overload
Don’t show me news about the national debt,
or latest scandal, sexual or other.
It’s not that I don’t care or never fret,
but I’m on overload and it’s a mother.
The hurricanes and fires that took a toll
beyond what most can bare and tolerate,
and leaders whom we simply can’t extol,
I’m yearning for the days of Watergate.
Why even Richard Nixon’s looking good.
For all his faults and foibles he was smart.
At least he had a sense of what he should
be doing – and he may have had a heart.
When things have gone as low as they can go,
thank God I’ve got a bottle of Merlot!
The tomato behind The Three Tomatoes.
Cheryl Benton, aka the “head tomato” is founder and publisher of The Three Tomatoes, a digital lifestyle magazine for “women who aren’t kids”. Having lived and worked for many years in New York City, the land of size zero twenty-somethings, she was truly starting to feel like an invisible woman. She created The Three Tomatoes just for the fun of it as the antidote for invisibility and sent it to 60 friends. Today she has thousands of friends and is chief cheerleader for smart, savvy women who want to live their lives fully at every age and every stage. She is the author of the novel, "Can You See Us Now?" and co-author of a humorous books of quips, "Martini Wisdom." Because she's lived a long time, her full bio won't fit here.
