I've two computers I'd like to sell,
They're old, but they both still work very well.
They are Windows desktops, aka, a PC,
One browses with Firefox,
And one with IE.
I can't recall, now, which is which,
But as near as I can tell,
The latter's in the Acer,
And the former in the Dell.
The cuckoo has just announced spring,
From outside my top floor bedroom window,
little birds tweet and sing from their hiding,
“Blue bells and daffodils and the end of snow!”
Day has cheered up with a clear blue sky,
A few white clouds moving across slow,
oak and acer sprouting leaves on the sly,
“Blue bells and daffodils and the end of snow!”
The jingle of bottles announce the milk van,
Newspaper and coffee and breakfast to go,
If anything brings cheer, spring morning can,
Blue bells and daffodils and the end of snow!”
Stretch of green fields with different shades,
A few farm houses, a road, some glades,
My neighbour waves Hi from his open window,
“Blue bells and daffodils and the end of snow!”
Morning smells different from the day before,
the Lilies and Roses have bloomed some more,
I clear my mind of all strain and let them go,
Blue bells and daffodils and the end of snow!”

Topic: Birthday of Acer Ramirez (June 30)
Form: Vertical Monocrostic
She is a : Madness chaser
Problem facer
Very good pacer
Better acer
Worry banisher
Grieve vanisher
Chat master
Run's faster
Sadness cleaner
Sometimes meaner
Always a mate
Together by fate
Good writer
Better fighter
Bore wrecker
Awesome trekker
A fancy cheerer
Mostly nearer
She is always around
Our closeness is bound
She is one of a kind
Always together bind
Always beside
Never aside
Her trust never bends
'Cause she is my friend.
SCENERY TO PAINT
Every day we reviewed them in parade attitude
Along the Snake River in the Tetons’ solitude,
Or at attention on the banks of the Volga
In the infinite taiga -
In neat ranks along river terraces
Warm dark firs mixed with yellow acer,
All with the wind slowly leaning,
Their branches across the river-ice signalling
To great endless squadrons of their fellows :
In spring with their full flowers - yellows :
An army in a gold and topaz uniform
Ready and waiting for orders to fall in and conform ;
And in fall with their rich golden foliage
Always polished and ready for duty with courage.
In poor soil, in tough climate, these were heroes
Prepared for all their tomorrows.
Each morning we watched “Reveille” parade
In the dawn’s early light; and the evening shade
Gave “taps” for that heroic multitude -
The taiga’s topaz army, in golden solitude.

Along the Snake River in the Tetons’ solitude,
Or at attention on the banks of the Volga
In the infinite taiga -
In neat ranks along river terraces
Warm dark firs mixed with yellow acer,
All with the wind slowly leaning,
Their branches across the river-ice signalling
To great endless squadrons of their fellows :

Ready and waiting for orders to fall in and conform ;
And in fall with their rich golden foliage
Always polished and ready for duty with courage.
In poor soil, in tough climate, these were heroes
Prepared for all their tomorrows.
Each morning we watched “Reveille” parade
In the dawn’s early light; and the evening shade
Gave “taps” for that heroic multitude -
The taiga’s topaz army, in golden solitude.
Dahlia petals on the lawn,
dew-sodden in the October dawn
Michelmas daisies,limp and old
amidst faded leaves,now spotted gold
Bright bonfire-coloured leaves all aglow,
in Acer Palmantum's Autumn show.
