Three Ways To Winterize (2011)

1. Wrap those pipes.

2. Buy a thick coat.

3. Stay off the streets
when the snowstorm
arrives.
=====================
Quite a feat-
To stay off the street.

Modern Mother Goose-On The Loose # 684 (A Wrapped Gift By Subscription)

The gift was wrapped on the front lawn-

I went to retrieve it, immediately, after my first yawn.

.

It was so early in the morning, I know that the one

who threw it must not sleep-

A job to be proud of, a job that is worthwhile to keep.

.

As I slowly unwrapped my gift, I saw the front page,

and was filled with delight-

For I got to see what happened yesterday, what

happened late last night.

.

Which page to choose next would be a holiday

chore-

For there were so many articles of interest,

looking at one, would make me want to see more.

.

I started with the sports, even though I don’t care

for it at all-

Still, with the season finally starting, I had to

take a peek, at the world of basketball.

.

To turn to the society page always causes

excitement-

To see the beautiful people, where so much

time for charity is often spent.

.

Of course, there is always time-

To seek out the latest crime.

.

But, then again I love to look for the

cute and funny news-

And, that is why I head towards the

comic page, in order to cure any blues.

.

To dream about what I’d like, I don’t

have to go far-

The ads in the paper, have that perfect

dream car.

.

Or a house that is for sale-

Or a job application, that I’d like to mail.

.

The best gift of all is the people who

blog and give their opinion-

Might not always agree, but, all of

it is surely well done.

.

And, in between-

All of the advertisements are

looked at, thought about, and seen.

.

The best part of this gift is that it

arrives each day, all year long-

But, this particular month, it comes

with a Christmas song.

.

The gift was wrapped on the front lawn-

I went to retrieve it, immediately, after my first yawn.

Three Fast Enough (2015)

1. Runners in race.
2. Food cooking in microwave.
3. Unwrapping that present.

Sometimes not fast enough-
When getting through some of
those ribbons and paper, that
can be tough.
