T. D. Mischke

I was introduced to the Mischke show back in the fall of 2003. I have been a loyal listener back when he was 10 to midnight to the present when he was fired. I sat nights and wrote down every show word for word the best I could keep up. And we have numerous shows put on to cd's that we sit and listen to. Plus we saved all the archives of Mischkes scrawls and scribbles and numerous other articles. When we went to the Minnesota State Fair this past year, Mischke was the first place we went to.

Mischke helped fill many an empty hour in my life, and made things seem a lot brighter when they were looking pretty bleak. I have missed his shows tremendously, it"s like an empty whole in my day. I always want to reach for that radio dial and tune in. He is greatly missed in this household. LOVE YA MISCHKE

But most of all I wish him the best in the years ahead, and good luck with his CD. I will be getting mine soon. Below I am placing the audio of the "Mischke Poem".

The Old-Fashioned Thanksgiving (POEM)

(Edgar Albert Guest, 1881-1959)

It may be I am getting old and like too much to dwell
Upon the days of bygone years, the days I loved so well;
But thinking of them now I wish somehow that I could know
A simple old Thanksgiving Day, like those of long ago,
When all the family gathered round a table richly spread,
With little Jamie at the foot and grandpa at the head,
The youngest of us all to greet the oldest with a smile,
With mother running in and out and laughing all the while.

It may be I'm old-fashioned, but it seems to me to-day
We're too much bent on having fun to take the time to pray;
Each little family grows up with fashions of its own;
It lives within a world itself and wants to be alone.
It has its special pleasures, its circle, too, of friends;
There are no get-together days; each one his journey wends,
Pursuing what he likes the best in his particular way,
Letting the others do the same upon Thanksgiving Day.

I like the olden way the best, when relatives were glad
To meet the way they used to do when I was but a lad;
The old home was a rendezvous for all our kith and kin,
And whether living far or near they all came trooping in
With shouts of "Hello, daddy!" as they fairly stormed the place
And made a rush for mother, who would stop to wipe her face
Upon her gingham apron before she kissed them all,
Hugging them proudly to her breast, the grownups and the small.

Then laughter rang throughout the home, and, Oh, the jokes they told;
From Boston, Frank brought new ones, but father sprang the old;
All afternoon we chatted, telling what we hoped to do,
The struggles we were making and the hardships we'd gone through;
We gathered round the fireside. How fast the hours would fly--
It seemed before we'd settled down 'twas time to say good-bye.
Those were the glad Thanksgivings, the old-time families knew
When relatives could still be friends and every heart was true.

Jack White’s poem about his beloved Detroit

Michigan Central Station, Detroit
[Creative Commons licensed photo of Michigan Central Station (abandoned) in Detroit by Flickr user Matt Callow.]

Jack White of the White Stripes hurt some feelings back home when he moved from Detroit to Nashville in 2006. Egos were further bruised when he described the Detroit music scene as “super negative” in an interview with Rolling Stone magazine in June.

In order to set things straight, he wrote a poem about his beloved Detroit called ‘Courageous Dream’s Concern.’ Click through to the Detroit Free Press for the poem.

"Every Moment is Precious"

To realize the value of ONE YEAR
Ask a student who has failed his exam.

To realize the value of ONE MONTH
Ask a mother who has given birth to a premature baby.

To realize the value of ONE WEEK
Ask an editor of a weekly newspaper.

To realize the value of ONE DAY
Ask a daily wage laborer who has ten kids to feed.

To realize the value of ONE HOUR
Ask the person thats lost a loved one.

To realize the value of ONE MINUTE
Ask the person who missed the train.

To realize the value of ONE SECOND
Ask a person who has survived an accident.

To realize the value of ONE MILLI-SECOND
Ask the person who won a "silver" medal in the Olympics.

"Treasure every moment that you have,

because you never know when time may run out...
