Revving Up

Wrinkled shirt in the sink Cups in the bathtub -- clink, clink Shoes in the freezer, under the meat Stockings in the fridge -- not to overheat Fruit jammed into a narrow cupboard Veggies stuffed in a bureau, next to a sword Drinks hurled into the fireplace, with a splash Flung with requisite verve, smashing glass Ah, yes, the Inspector General's back Revving up his tour-de-force attack If only one could bring back the great Danny Kaye Failing that, we'll settle for 'Mr. Groundhog' himself, Bill Murray

I am going to try this today " Stockings in the fridge -- not to overheat" and maybe every day after today until November!

You mean you haven't tried stockings in the fridge yet. I'm saving them for my next wedding day. ~ Cold feet

This is such a happy poem filled with good humor and a little bit of whimsey. A longing look back at the good ol' days . Loved it Gershon. God Bless, JB
