at the table to eat. Grandma couldn’t be found!
We children were fussing; Dad rose to his feet.
shouting, “Where are you, Ma? We’re ready to eat!”

When from the next room we heard such a noise
Jenny squealed, “Santa...

til it was loosed and on her pillow lay.

She sometimes tells me how I'd kidded her.
When I was small, I said,...

Cla'holt of 'em wiv a rope,
On is own,allus could cope.

We are not perfect by no means at all,
some are too skinny, some are too tall,
I  was always the tallest in my class,
until High school, then I found my match.
5' 7'' kinda tall for a girl,
then I decided, I wanted to twirl,
The football players...

The ox and the moron kidded each other
with crazy questions one lazy afternoon:

     "Tell me, oh, witty Moron, 
          what is an oxymoron?"
     "That's easy, owlish Ox,

A French Visit 
 Early they arrived, my relatives, unpacking of suitcases, 
kissing, jubilation and breakfast, during which all the latest 
family gossip was shared. Then they all went to the beach 
leaving the house in utter chaos. When returning we had 
prepared a buffet,...

shattering loneliness and no people
A deck which held my tinkling chimes…

Plenty of food to eat,
my brain starved, my heart starved
I thought I was in partnership
How could...

I grew up a child of the ’60’s
together my life and the hippie movement dawned…
now when I look back at that time I wonder…where have all the hippies gone?

who grew our own organic vegetables…who...

and since...
