Animals make my day
They're so smart and witty
They're also very cunning
They know how to plot
To get what they want
They pout and throw
Tantrums when they
Can't have their way
They love cuddling time
Love and affection, but
They get jealous too
They're personally traits
Are more like humans
Which really amazes me

This is my credo
massage my ego
Hey-the right to be me
with no morality
Hey-live and let live
don't inhibit me
Hey-listen to me
just let me be
let me feed my affectation
with contemporary confection

If one has a patchwork mind in his bonnet,
and the patches are not well
stitched and sewn together,
thoughts , opinions and ideas
leak out easily through the seams
and what is heard in the end
is funny screams

He walked around with a nasty cold
With his chest out being bold
He took the Covid shot
His body ran hot
Suddenly his face, turned old

You and me, by day, we’re drifting apart,
Less push, no heat and no drive,
Where once we had a connection of love,
Now everything seems to have died,
And the end of each day comes sooner and fast,
What we had is gone by about one,
Our goodbyes have become a broken down bond,
By the time the recharge has begun,
And recharging now takes most of the day,
You put in no effort at all,
When what you do is sit and not move,
Plugged into the hole in the wall,
You and me once were attached at the ear,
You would listen to all that I said,
But now I feel I need to replace you for new,
Because your insides are dead.

The cookies were raw, must be the salt,
The oven's a little bit broke,
And the cake didn't rise, flat as a tack,
Must have been a faulty egg yoke,
Maybe the hammer is bent at the head,
Maybe the saw is just blunt,
Maybe I need a new set of tools,
So I can work like a normal adult,
You see, each time I work to create something new,
And it doesn't turn out like it should,
I tend to blame the things that I use,
By saying they are simply no good,
But deep in my mind, in the silence of me,
I know why things don't end up like I plan,
I know it's not the tools that I use,
I know I'm a crap handyman.

Eureka, Shazam, the moment just came,
The moment came out of the blue,
Where all that I’ve written from deep down inside,
Can finally come into view,
I can speak out each poem like a poetry slam,
Poems you’d speak to the moon,
And digitize each on the new record app,
Then distort it to make it in tune,
And to give it some funk I’d add an organ,
And drums to accompany my voice,
Yep, a poem with some instruments to support what is said,
A jazz sort of melodious noise,
Oh wait, hang on, this isn’t something new,
Poems with some symphonic jam,
It’s what I hear on the radio each day,
It’s a song that is sung by a band.

To all my dear Super SOUPERS!
In less than two hours I'll be off to the airport! Going to have some fun and sun on the sunny Island of CYPRUS!!! :) It's been a hectic summer and it will be good for my family and me to get away.
No connection at my daughter's student pad, but I will try to get on now and again from my Dad's place. I won't be posting poems for about 10 days if I can keep away that long. Just wanted to let you all know I haven't croaked and died. I'll be back! Don't miss me too much and DON'T forget me.
:) Hugs to one and all....
Can't wait to swin in the beautiful Mediterranean Sea! I love swimming!!! I'm in my element in the water!!!
Hugs you all! :)
Eileen
