Joseph Spence Sr Poet Burlesque

The Sipping!

I'm sipping my sparkling fine wine,
And taking my succulent sipping slow;
Watching the beautiful bird, bees, and
Ants always busily beaming on the go.

Twinkling stars winking down at me,
This taste has me toasting—floating;
Gliding with grand space and time, 
My horn I am still blowing—tooting.

Tonight a charming magic carpet ride,
O with rising sun I’m a happy fellow;
Darkness diminishing to calm day light,
On fluffy pillow head shall be mellow.

I'm sipping my sparkling fine wine,
And taking my succulent sipping slow!

Michelle Mac Donald September 28, 2008 at 1:24 PM Hi there Joseph!!!:) I'm glad to see you're back posting your work..I was sorely missing you. "fluffy pillow", sounds sorta marshmallow-ish to me...you gotta know 'that' poem made me giddy. This one..(you're always a poetical connoisseur with this sort of poetry)..gives me a craving. Have no wine here, maybe to borrow a bean off of the 'Edible One'? Probably float off on a gassy cloud of oblivion? Love you Joseph!:) Best to you and yours..God bless you all...Mikki
