============================
The one-
In your part of the world,
getting the job done

Modern Mother Goose-On The Loose # 414 (Leftovers)

The turkey was put away-
So that it could be eaten
another day.
.
Really and truly it was
the very next one-
Where that taking out
was done.

.
Sandwiches were made,
and part of it was diced-
Mixed with noodles, or
a bit of rice.
.
A casserole was made-
With that turkey, that
was still top grade.
.
And, then all of a sudden
it didn’t look so good-
It didn’t look, as it should.
.
The leftover days were put
to rest-
We’d eaten a lot, we’d
passed the test.
.
To see how far we could
stretch that once fine
turkey-
It was time to let it go,
for all of eternity.
.
The turkey was put away-
So that it could be eaten
another day.

Modern Mother Goose-On The Loose # 674 (Where Have All The Stuffed Eggs Gone?)

The recipe was carefully prepared-
Not one ingredient was spared.
.
The eggs were boiled and peeled
just right-
The mayo was added, with pickle
sprinkled light.
.
Each egg was stuffed, and set on the
plate-
A warning went out, for those who
could not wait.
.
And, before dinner, it became clear-
That the deviled eggs began to disappear.
.
No one would admit it, no one wanted to say-
That they had eaten or taken the eggs away.
.
It was a good thing that an extra plate had
been made-
That had been secretly hidden, so they too
would not fade.
.
The recipe was carefully prepared-
Not one ingredient was spared.

Gonna Try It-Not On A Diet # 912

On the subject of eating-

Some of us may want to slow down a bit, in anticipation,

of that upcoming Thanksgiving dinner seating.

Modern Mother Goose-On The Loose # 737 (Monkees As It Were)

“I’m A Believer”, the Monkees were fun-

“Goin’ Down”, to the past, is one easy run.

.

A “Daydream Believer”, is what we all became-

Even the second time around, because of MTV,

it felt the same.

.

“A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You”-

Many fans, the Monkees did acrue.

.

“Valleri”, was a delightful song-

You know that we all sang along.

.

And, that “Pleasant Valley Sunday”-

Brought refreshig thoughts our way.

.

To take that “Last Train To Clarksville”-

It fit the moment, it filled the bill.

.

“I’m A Believer”, the Monkees were fun-

“Goin’ Down”, to the past, is one easy run.

Modern Mother Goose-On The Loose # 386 ( Get Ready Here We Go)

Shortly on the scene-
Will be the holiday, of
Halloween.
.

.
Not just a fall festival,
but the real thing-
With fun characters,
and the scary ones
that sting.
.

.
Batman and bats-
Clowns with big hats.
.

.
A prince or princess-
Dracula, dressed in his
best.
.

.
A devil or angel-
A real ogre that
could smell.
.

.
A witch or a fairy-
Some of those costumes,
can get quite hairy.
.

.
Whatever we decide to be-
We know that it is all in fun,
as it has been for eternity.
.

.
Shortly on the scene-
Will be the holiday, of
Halloween.

Three Ways That Halloween Is Different Than It Used To Be (2008)

 

1. We ate popcorn balls that we picked up at a strangers house.

2. The use of an x-ray machine was to check for a broken bone.

3. We actually called the holiday, HALLOWEEN.

Happy Halloween 2008-

To trick or treat, we can hardly wait.
