It's Friday Again

It’s Friday again It’s Friday again and old soup is asleep Slumbering, dreaming and snoring so deep Or maybe out shopping, a new pair of shoes A purse or a tie or whatever they choose Perhaps they are climbing the side of hill Their head in the clouds always comes as a thrill Or out in the yard with their daisies and roses A camera in hand in case anyone poses Just maybe their driving somewhere in their car Staying quite close or discovering far I guess they could all be out eating their lunch I’m not sure of that, it is more of a hunch They could be out golfing or skiing I guess Though ask them and I’m sure they will not confess Maybe the dentist, a tooth that does ache Out at a barbque eating a steak Flying a kite or out rowing a boat It’s way past the day they allow us to vote Riding a train across rickety tracks Pressing their shirts and then pressing their slacks Something has happened, of that I am sure There’s nobody hanging ‘round soup anymore I know it is Friday and always the same Only a few diehard poets remain Man it's boring around here on Fridays

It definitely makes it a lot less boring and a lot more happy. Thank you so very much Charmaine. It is always nice to see you.

I've noticed the Friday slowdown too...And I'm part of the problem, not part of the solution: During the winter months, I only get to spend an hour or so in/on the Soup, as the Sabbath is ushered in very early on Fridays now...

It's always been that way on soup, one of these days I might just get used to it. :) Thanks GW

Heidi, it makes all of the difference in the world. Thank you for always leaving such kind thoughts on my poems. I think you and I are the only ones always around...I don't know if that is a good thing or a bad thing. : )

Hi Chris, I'm here, maybe we are not as inspired as we used to be. I seem to be loosing my muse more often these days, and the contests don't seem to hold my interest anymore. People come and go but the kindness of some always remains. You were always so kind.
