Nighttime

Awake

Alert, lively

Tossing, turning, tumbling

Shutting off my thoughts

Dozing, drowsing, snoring

Peaceful, relaxed

Mrs. Bauer's Revenge

I did not mean to
Oly is afraid of me
As I am of her
Oly does not like my sneeze
I inhale and she runs out.

Ouch!

Oly is obsessed with my bare toes.
She makes me nervous when she stares
As I get ready to sleep
I check doors and windows
I walk carefully
The lights are out
Down the hall
At night
Pounce!

That man named Bert

Became a stuffed shirt

When he hit pay dirt.

Roses and Violets

Violets are blue, roses are red

I wish that I had stayed in bed.

Roses are red, violets are blue

I think that I may have the flu.

 

Lilies are white, carnations are pink

Lots of fluids I must drink

Carnations are pink, lilies are white

I hope tomorrow I feel all right.

A Lemon Liking

Liza likes licking lemons.

September Mourning

 

 

 

We remember

Planes flying

People crying

Heroes dying

We remember

Buildings burning

Hearts yearning

A nation turning

We remember

Love and Hate

love

warm, colorful

hugging, kissing, cuddling

then lack of forgiveness

hitting, kicking, biting

cold, black

hate

 



Underwater wear

What is a hat for an aquatic animal?

 

A squid lid

 

Overheard on a Sunny Afternoon

Lawn mower
Dogs barking
Children running through the sprinkler
Bird cawing
Children starting a water fight
Screaming
Laughing
Music coming closer
Nursery rhymes playing over and over
"Popsicle, please!"

Dennis the Tennis Menace

There once was a player named Dennis
Who spent his days practicing tennis
When he played he would win
With an arrogant grin
His opponents would call him a menace.

First Day of School

We used to have fun

Out in the sun

But now it's all done.

A Bad Movie

Sniff and snivel

I hate this drivel.
