I cried, I was innocent and I...

The stargazers got together
and spread a blanket out on the grass
of the lush and opulent lawn
Here, they all huddled together
astronomy addicted
they gazed as comets blazed

just a huge, steaming heap
of a gobbler's gobbledygook,
        praised to highest heavens

What craziness will grandma add this Christmas? The relatives asked.
She’d be outrageous and creative. Keeping it going was quite a task.

Hop-along Henry and Half-as-long Harry
harassed the sisters Hoar.
Henry had Hannah huffing,
Helen howled, “Harry! — MORE!”

“I have to have it Harry!”
“Heaven help me! He’s done!”
“Hannah has Henry’s huge one.”

A fresh new baby, completely enamoring the entire family upon arrival,
Passed around, and oohed about, loved instantly and completely.
Her little eyes blinking around, fearful of the bright lights and weird sounds.
Wanting only her mother and...

With time to kill, I hit the zoo
And mingled with the tourists, who
Took selfies near the sea lion pool,
