I'm in line at a store, and I'm bored, Typing on my phone, restless and alone. I’ve got light-blue nails, like the sky or your eyes. I like them, it’s my favorite color - I don’t know why. I’m buying flavors for my coffee, nutmeg and pumpkin spice. I like having coffee in the morning, when it’s cold, they’ll taste...

Petty Thief and Smart Excuse
The story could not become stale: Farouk had pilfered from a mail; Also, in some shop picked a pail And, yet, another a huge bale... When things began to read "Jail" Farouk had already turned tail And for waiting ears had his tale: That he had come to some friends hail, One of them male and the other female. Then, a Ben chose to...

A Paid Carpenter Will Work
A carpenter for a clean job poised And for a new ceiling I rejoiced. Like soldiers' flag he did ceiling hoist, His eyes of full true confidence moist... A carpenter who knows a good joist upon him you can't a bad one foist, From afar would pick its sad fake smell, Long before his hammer hits the nail. The poised I had his...

Nail Biting

Finger
Finger, like so many, aims at me and then at something else. Finger is a small yet significant creature. Finger's addressing me by pointing, pointing to me, saying, saying without speaking. Finger sports a nail that may hold the significance of that creature, that digit: brown-ended with soil or brightened with soap on a bright-cleaning brush. One or the other (as they say). Finger will...

At suspected mockers you rail And at those who would you hail, For as long as they close to you sail With scarcely trusted redeeming tale… You’re a prisoner’s heart beating for a bail But no consoling news from the...

For Want of a Nail You Don'T Stand a Dog's Chance
Look what you have done to my shoelaces, Fluffy! Now that's hardly a nice thing to do. There are things in this world, from a twig to a bone, that are more admirably suited to chew. I don't wish to be hypercritical, Fluffy. You might easily have done something worse, but there are things in this world, which, not...

As Sheep Crept Unto the Slaughter
Turn in my lord! Turn in my lord! But water I cannot afford. Some milk is best at your request. Now hide you and get you some rest. But as he sleep, to him she creep, As slaughter crept unto the sheep. Then with a nail, his head impale, So saved the day lady Jael....
