Caren Krutsinger Poet List

My Birthday Presents

Here is what I got for my birthday.
Small glass holder for paint water. Won’t hold a paint brush.
Given to me by a non-painter.
Custom made apron.
Large and medium paint brushes.
Canvases.
Paint pallets.
Paints.
Peach shirt that says “Live your Dream”
Blue hair dye you can spray on to be more punk.
Large jar of jalapeno peppers.
Medium jar of jalapeno peppers.
Bathroom stuff I will never use.
Shower bombs I have already tossed.
Brownies, peanut butter fudge, rocky road fudge, watermelon
Candy bar, pecan pie, chocolate pie, apple pie,
cherry pie, key lime pie, lemon pie, coconut pie,
Did you know that when you eat out and say it’s your birthday
You get free pie
And no one checks your ID?

Ilene Bauer June 4, 2022 at 2:01 PM Sounds like some people really know you and others not so much. Still, it’s always fun to open presents - and I’m sure you enjoyed the pies! Caren Krutsinger June 4, 2022 at 11:07 PM I am waddling now; any more pie and I will begin to roll

L Milton Hankins June 3, 2022 at 10:13 AM Okay, I got it all...I love shower bombs! Why did you throw away, Caren? Fizzy and delightful. I like bath bombs, but I can no longer take a bath because I can't get in and out of the tub. I have a shower chair, too. Absolutely disgusting! The grab bars the VA gave me for my bathtub are still in the original box in my living room. Well, I can't figure out how to install them! I'm not at all mechanical. Deb was. She did all the putting together and installing around here. Caren Krutsinger June 3, 2022 at 11:13 PM I wish we had grab bars! Shower chairs are awful. I have one for when I injured myself and was in a wheelchair for a couple of months - 7 years ago.
