I am extremely proud of my granddaughter Mareze. She is attending medical school in Grenada. I wrote a poem to always remember that a doctor is first a servant of the people.


Mister Greed

by John Kaniecki

Mangy Mareze meandered the mystical maze

Today a day unlike all other days

A confusion of craze

Heart pumping furiously        

Crimson blood flowed

Her pattering feet slowed

Before her was a door steadfast and secure

Fashioned of fine oak with a knocker of brass

A sight one might not pass

Without giving a second look

Like cryptic writing in a secret book

Mareze was lost counting the cost

Her hopes hampered in holocaust

She had nothing to lose

Save her sad song of endless blues

So up to the door just gave a push

But not an inch did it move

So Mareze put her whole weight on the portal

And pushed as if she was Hercules

Or some other strong immortal

The hinges creaked

And in delight Mareze shrieked

With double effort

Pushing for all that she was worth

She dug in her feet

Not accepting defeat

Slowly fraction by fraction

The door moved to Mareze’s satisfaction

So just to be sure
She pushed some more

Like a Champagne cork exploding

The door flew open

And Mareze went rolling in

At first stumbling

Than tumbling tumbling tumbling

Like a gymnast doing somersaults

Until she came to a halt

Mareze looked up to behold

A massive mountain of gold!

Stunned beyond belief

She sat their until she heard a cry

“A thief! A thief!”

There is the distance tiny to the eye

Small like a dismal fly

Sat an odd man

Naked as the day of his birth

His arms were thin as sin
His belly fat as a kettle

His skin silvery metal

On his face a wicked grin

His hand was extended pointing with his finger

He gave a massive shout

“What do you want in here?”

Though the man was not near

Mareze quaked in fear.
“Oh good sir I need your help indeed”
