Modern Mother Goose-On The Loose # 663 (The Old Neighborhood Store)

It was always filedl with stir-

That neighborhood store, on the corner.

.

Mother would always send Sandy

to buy some eggs-

She’d walk over there with her

toothpick legs.

.

Or perhaps one day, it might be

some bread-

Sandy would get whatever Mother

wanted and said.

.

The best part for Sandy-

Of course, was looking at that ja,r of

candy.

.

And, every once in a while she was

able to get a piece-

An action she hoped would never cease.

.

Sandy is grown now and remembers so

very well-

That corner grocery, with so many tales

to tell.

.

Thank goodness Mother took a picture of

it long ago-

For it is now an empty space, where much

grass does grow.

.

She can still picture herself with the skinny

legs making that trip-

Rewarded with a piece of candy, as a tip.

.

It was always filled with stir-

That neighborhood store, on the corner.

Casualty And Reality # 409

There was a time when I thought that the

rain would never fall out of the sky-

May not happen again, but, I’m gonna

enjoy today, that was not dry.

Modern Mother Goose-On The Loose # 661

The bridge was out-

And, we had to take another route.

.

It had served its purpose-

And, to be replaced it was a must.

.

To end the suspense-

We knew that it being out would be

a nuisance.

.

For we would have to change our path-

And, for those stuck in their ways, it

would mean wrath.

.

Of course, patience would be involved-

Until it was rebuilt, until the problem was

solved.

.

There was no mending, there was no doubt-

That it had to be replaced, the whole thing

had to come out.

.

Sixty days is what we were told-

For the reconstruction to completely unfold.

.

We’ll see as we approach the deadline-

To see if it’ll be done, or if an extension, we

will find.

.

The bridge was out-

And, we had to take another route.
