Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

Do You See What I See

'When Jupiter aligns with Mars'
  all I see are tiny stars
'When the moon is in the Seventh House'
  I am in my wife's doghouse

'Harmony and understanding'
  My car, my kids be demanding
'Golden living dreams of visions'
  What I wear evokes derision

They call this 'The Age of Aquarius'
  ~ I taste turmeric on asparagus

To answer your question, I can't say that I do( see what you do) On second thought, I do, because you just lent me your lense. I enjoyed the read. Off to listen to the song again( I I forgot the lyrics:-) Alexis Gershon Wolf June 8, 2021 at 6:01 PM I love the answer you gave, Alexis! Thanks a million. Joy forever, Gershon

Richard Lamoureux June 8, 2021 at 10:26 AM “And Love will be in the stars.” Your poem brings back memories. I was a kid when this came out. I enjoyed your poem Gershon. Gershon Wolf June 8, 2021 at 5:49 PM Aha. I was already in my '19th hour' when this one was released. Still hum it sometimes, amazingly enough. Thanks, Richard.

Anselmo Boles June 7, 2021 at 11:38 PM The song reminds me of my youth. Wife and kids, a challenge indeed. Turmeric and asparagus though, never had that combination before This is laugh out loud Goood Gershon!...ab Gershon Wolf June 8, 2021 at 5:44 PM Oh, it's so delicious, Anselmo.
