You shall be the father of Medicine decreed the Spirit God.
That’s no fun! Replied Eir, the only Norse on the island of Nod.
Medicine folk are staid, stuck up, particular, persnickety and odd.
I will add merriment to your assignment Medicine and Merry.
That delighted Eir’s sister, who was named Creative Carrie.
She quit smiling when Spirit God said “you are in charge of your brother Jerry.”

September's Star
Vespers of the North Star,
Prithee August zephyrs,
Abides thy cobalt crown,
Pirouette effulgence,
Thy northern lights renown.
Vespers of the North Star,
Wist indigo twilight,
Van Gogh wouldst captured thee,
Thy freshly framed canvas,
Old Master's devotee.
Vespers of the North Star,
Of late Dutch Boy in blue,
Textured in porcelain,
Slept curled in the wee night,
Translucent artisan.
Vespers of the North Star,
Aurora's breakfast tea,
Cozy midst remembers,
Fond farewell bidst thee thine,
Albeit, September's.
