Which turns into a big smell, a little on my nose, some around my
Neck, and finally I beg my husband...

Dealt the hands of fate
A dollar short and day too late

Checkmate
Your ship is sank

And not a single trace

Looked them in their face
Then put them in their place

We met one summer evening
On a golden sandy dune.
There was something wonderful and sublime,
Something magical and spellbinding,
Infiltrating in the air that night,
As stars shone brightly high above,
Shining for you and me
Especially for you and me.

They will serenade me as I sit on my deck enjoying myself.

a fun time to shake off those winter blues.

I ate lettuce for a year 
Only lettuce
And drank water
Lost sixty-four pounds
I have gained it back and sixty pounds more

I was young then, more disciplined
Now I am old; no one notices old

spurs the flight of a monarch butterfly,
discarding its colorless chrysalis
as summer's sunny rays intensify. 

Waves tongue ticklish toes along the shoreline
licking at bare feet playing in the brine,
and laughs and...

MOTHER'S WISHBONES, NO DOUBT

All furculae with not a fragment
of dried-up flesh or sinew 

to despoil their luster — the slew 
of them ranging in size from 

Cornish hen to turkey. Funny,
I’d never noticed her extricate

There's nothing better than a steak,
Providing it's spiced with care.
Whether ribeye, filet, or strip,
Just make mine medium rare.

Then you have your feathered friends,
Either turkey, duck or chicken.
You can bake or crispy fry,
The Colonel says it's...
