Premium Member The Cold Draft

Suddenly there was a cold draft 
It was chilly reminiscent of a wintry shower bath 
Making the body freeze 
With a tundra tease 

It came from up there 
Screaming icy air 
Was it a duct? 
Where the warmth got stuck? 

Like a refrigerator open door 
Luring a bear into making an easy score 
Dressed in the appropriate hibernation muffle 
Before escaping doing a planned shuffle 

Closing the door 
Than crossing the frigid floor 
The draft did stop 
And soon it got very hot 

Suddenly there was a cold draft 
Apparently one or two countries had a wrath 
Notice came in the mail 
Failure to respond meant going to jail 

Reporting to camp 
With a form signed by a rubber stamp
Boots on the ground  
Glory and honor it did sound 

As copter blades twirled 
And butch haircuts curled 
Things went down 
Hopefully the bodies would be found 

Closing the casket 
Family wearing black veils to mask it 
The draft did stop 
And bonding financial transactions started to get hot 

Suddenly there was a cold draft 
Foaming an artistic craft 
Not a bad deal for a first round that was picked 
A social prop soothing the issue that made them ticked 

Corona was its name 
Perfect for the conversation game
Debating with a laugh 
Communicating about the calculating national debt math 

Not using any sharp words as spears 
Just a nice talk over a few beers 
Going down like a saintly breeze 
Unlike a French wine next to cheese 

Closing the tab 
Before calling a cab 
The draft did stop 
Making the bar flies bug out  cheerful not angry and hot

Premium Member My Happy Is Off the Chart

The sun is shining brightly
On high and in my heart
Can't think of any good reason
Why my happy is off the chart

Could it just be a fluctuation
In my everyday ebb and flow
Or am I about to inherit a fortune
Perhaps fifty million or so

That'd get my heart a-pumping
Have to go lie down I fear
Gotta survive to enjoy my luck
At least for a few more years

Maybe a trip to some exotic place
Where girlies dress in grass skirts
Swing and sway oh what a scene
This stress I must try to avert

Always been a real big sucker
For members of the opposite sex
They drive me wild, my eyes bug out
I stutter and stammer, by heck

How bout that, my fine feathered friends
Survived another bout of girly-itis
One day it's sure gonna get me good
When it renders me totally speechless

The sun is shining brightly
On high and in my heart
Know why I'm so pooping happy
It's the joy you Soupers impart

Premium Member I Am Your Minion

Want to talk?
Silence.
Want to play a game?
Head shake.
Want to put a puzzle together?
Silence.
What can I do to help?
Head shake.
Has someone hurt your feelings?
Silence.
Can you tell me how you are feeling?
Head shake.
You are great at not talking.
I see a glimpse of a glimmer of a smile.
Breakthrough.
Thirty minutes after playing
With legos and animals this five-year-old laughs loudly
I had said, “You are the boss.
I am your minion.”
His joyous laughter was unexpected, and loud,
And it seemed to go on forever.
My bestie the nurse asks me later who was laughing so hard in my office.
I tell her and her eyes bug out.
You are kidding! She says.
I smile.

Premium Member Not Like That Surely

I watch women leave with assorted bodies, bulky purses, proudly displaying their newly-done up rainbow hair, blue streak hair, purple yarn hair, six braid in a bush hair, beaded, feathered and flowered hair. 
  
        Everything goes here, and it makes me comfortable. Then I see a silly looking up-do with straggly ends floating across a face. My four-year-old grandson could have done this one in his sleep.   I am incredulous as I watch the recipient leave happy.
  
	A little guy is almost out of his chair, screaming and wailing “Let me out of here! You are hurting me! No! NO! I don’t like this! You are HURTING ME!” His screams are frightening now, I look up, ready to fight somebody.  The hairdresser is having a tough time working around a grandma and a mama who are holding him in the chair by pinning arms and legs that are struggling as he screams.

	When I got to my chair I noticed my stylist is cute, young, she will probably have some punky ideas. I like that!  She washes me up, not finding a tick, which I think is a great start. As we talk she discovers I teach school. Her eyes bug out. “They let you teach with that color hair!” she spits out.

	“I would like to see them try and stop me,” I fire back.  I look in the mirror at my new Peter Pan haircut. I look like a boy, but at least most of the burgundy is still there.  So much for generalizing how punky young can be.

Premium Member The Every Day Goings On of Finn Mcgee and Me

What Stout Is About



Me, Finn and McGee
We went to the pub the see
This new fancy Stout
They've been talkin' about
I ordered, and we were served three

Now when I looked down
Me mouth made a frown
For a fly was afloat in me beer
So I tossed the drink out
And I gave out a shout
I'll be wanting a fresh one right here

Finn then looked in
And a fly seemed to swim
In his glass filled with stout so brown
So he pulled the bug out
Then tossed it about
And drank the stout all the way down

Now Wee Luck McGee
looked down just to see
That a fly was floating about
So he grabbed both his wings
And while shaking the thing
Said "Bastard, you best, spit it out"

Premium Member Tires and Ropes For Swings

My bug out bag would include my grandchildren.
It would have to be large, because I have ten.
My cat and dog would go in and my wild raccoons.
They count on me for their food right?

My husband could stay home.
I have had him so long we are redundant.
We can watch eight hours of TV
And laugh at only the same things

And say the same words
For the entire time, and only these words.
I would take a jug of red grapefruit juice,
and a five tires and a large bundle of rope.

Matches for a bon fire.
Wait! I am taking the cat out.
She is ordering the children about again.
Making one cry.

The dog gets to go; she is laid back.
Is that a rat? Who brought that?
Okay. If it has a name,
How can I say no to a pet?

Premium Member TV Shows back in the Sixties

In most of the movies back in the day.,.
women of the sixties wore glasses, so they could be smart
Women without glasses were thought to have empty non-thinking heads
In the sixties TV shows, all librarians wore glasses
Even the ones who did not need them
sexy women put their hair in ponytails and wore glasses
So men would be afraid of their smart brains.

When the women wanted to wow the men
They would take their hair down and
take off their glasses
The men's eyes would bug out.
They could not believe how attractive the women had become.
They barely recognized them and fell in love instantly.
As soon as the smart glasses came off.
we watched this on TV all the time when I was young

Premium Member The Ides of a Parch In March

It is the ides of March  
My throat feels parch 
It’s like we were stabbed in the back 
On the level of the Brutus attack 
They say there is a bug out there 
Stalking the air 
Taking down life’s nice modern day special things 
That keeps peace for leaders that include royal Kings 
As we say good bye to social interaction 
Allowing isolated bitterness to an acceptable attraction 
I give my gratitude for that glass of water 
From the returning reporter 
In the field
Asking the question, “what is the deal”? 
There are many ways to look at this mess 
Claiming being a member of the press 
Listen and think before one write 
Since paranoia can breed an uncomfortable plight 
Communication is important right now 
Maturity is a key in knowing how 
With my voice now clear 
Trying not to offend a Mexican beer 
Carrying on with the show 
That is about distributing information on what we think we know
