Never was a guest,
It just made itself welcome;
But I said farewell.

My feet are famous,
They’re like Ghandi’s and Frodo’s;
My sole claim to fame.
Pantry explorer,
Next best thing to traveling,
World-class appetite.
Tasty feats ahead,
Simple and gourmet cuisine,
Can’t journey, will dine.

Sheltering in place,
Each one is like an island;
So isolated.

Misery or joy,
Nothing remains forever,
In temporal sense.

Sheila shucks corn in her shack, stewing over a schnauzer that chewed up her Scottish scarf. Feeling skittish, she chucks the last husk into the bucket and goes outside to tend to her Shetland pony. After brushing down her sheltie, she heads to Sean’s Shed, where she’s taken a shine for the shopkeeper. She wants to invite Sean to lunch. As she faces him, she’s overcome with shyness. Shrugging off the shudder in her shoulders, succeeding only in worsening the shaking of her voice, she bleats, “Would you like some sheep butt? Wait . . . what? I . . . sheesh . . . I mean shish kebab?”

Tall, proud, and breezy,
Waving independently,
The red, white, and blue.
Happy 4th of July!
Dispute of all time,
Knock-down, eye-poked, hair-torn fight;
Then, the two brats laughed.


Recline in your favorite chair,
Grab a cold refreshment,
Remove the ‘honey-do’ list from your view,
Take the remote control,
Remember we love you always,
Every day and not just today,
Recognizing it’s Father’s Day!

Lots of laughs and fun,
Parading around the house,
Me, myself, and I.
A party of one,
Perfect companion,
Who could ask for more?
