Long Toddies Poems

Midst sullen storm and winter's grip,
Secure and warm I toddies sip.
By fireside glow my thoughts take wing.
While watching snow, I dream of spring.

Spring's swimming pools, azalea shrubs,
And garden tools and hiking clubs.
It's daffodils and meadows...

As the autumn and winter seasons inexorably unfold,
You can bet that I'm destined to catch my annual cold!
I've tried every remedy from the local pharmacist's shelf,
Includin' syrups, lozenges, even toddies to cure myself!

"Earthquake in a Tea Cup"

the earthquake 
rocked through 
a pink haze 
soft and powdered

To determine what goes into their bodies,

journeys plague--the need to...

two good longtime bosom buddies
puerile teasing games they play
they're inseparable toddies
they're different from night and day

puerile teasing games they play
ooh, ooh, eee, eee, aah, aah

The love light shines this winter time
as snow falls in the hills.
I hear bells in the distance chime;
my every dream fulfills.

A sleigh ride with the one I love
would be so very nice.
We'll glow under the...

Log cabin in the woods
Curly rugs and wood fire
Your with the one you love
Wonder what will transpire.

Smokers light up for various reasons,
Stress, anxiety, savoring a meal or
seasons,

Yet, rarely do they think of the harm
it creates in their bodies, hacking coughs
that require more than hot toddies,
Cigarette smoke and tobacco breeds cancer,
The relaxation...
