Blue Cheese and Old Pickles

Tasteless, puckered galoot,
suited to the cold, he has gout.
Shriveled up, with deep veins,
covering up his shameful ways.

She wears umbrella suits.
He wears rubber boots.
Puddles, of mold, paint the walls;
they stare at the ink blots.

A condominium-plot, paid for,
after they bought lashes, teeth,
and progeny - false. Their money
in the grave, would elude

the kittens. Big galoot
and umbrella suit wish they could
watch their kin crumble,

turn blue
and sour too…

Yep, what we have been, values or lack of, are reflected status in our old age. Sometimes, just bad luck maybe. Important to take care of our loved ones...even if they were not so responsible and loving of no other than themselves. What we put out, we will get back. Interesting read...and as usual, I probably got it all wrong.

Craig Cornish doesn’t want a write on the actual food so this is what I came up with. Some families are indeed sad. I’m thankful for my wonderful family. Hugs!
