I sat there for hours

Sprawled out on a carpet of green

Searching for a four leaf clover

NO LUCK!

Mothers cry for fallen sons
The war is over they say
If Congress sent their young ones
Our troops would be home today

Daisies

Millions of them!

Singing in the meadow

Smiling at the gentle breeze

Jubilant giggles at the site of passing butterflies

They're quickly away from my side.
My sneezing they just can't abide.
I've blown my nose off.
Peppered them with my cough.
Now I'm here all alone on this ride!

Trees like friends are always around

They allow me to nestle beneath their shade

When it seems like good friends can never be found

I counted twenty-something tree friends I’ve already made!

Boredom, disgust, hearing lies
Political debates wait
One is good as the other guys
Great government recreate

I started the day wholly fresh and free
Allowing this flu to envelope me
I sparked a fever
Puked up a beaver
Waiting for the day I’ll heal so fully

Toasted Italian bread. Yum!
I love tuna, but
today - beef and provolone,
mayo, onions, greens. . . .
I open my mouth 
and insert  
Foot!

The phenomenon known as a sneeze
Hits with major velocity. Jeez!
What a mess might ensue
If you heard an “A-choo!”
From the guy on the flying trapeze.

From President Bill Clinton
With his balancing of the budget
Monica Lewinsky in chiffon
Both doing what they’ll regret

Some use tissue to blow their nose,
others rinse with a garden hose;
sneezing can cause one to fart,
blaming others is an art...
Help us all as flu season grows!

Modern Governance


Vote-bank thoughts and woes of dissent
Leave them lost mumbling  excuses
Making quick bucks their time well-spent
Leaving behind SCAMS in excess.

Since I was three my mum served me coffee

I was her first child so she was merely experimenting

I bounced to and fro and spoke faster than she

By the time I was four she switched me to decaffeinated tea!

On the road in hungry mode, 
Golden arches call! 
Stomach immensely howling, 
“Big Mac” has attacked.
Hamburger and cheese 
Zingy sauce to please, 
Gulp it down!
Plump!

Like the path that I rarely take
My resolutions I will not break
I don’t like to start these
Even if they’re a breeze 
For no resolutions will I make

A sweet poetess named Gwen
is like the Soup's mother hen.
I think she must never tire,
always here giving words to inspire!


Does anyone remember the sweetie, Gwendolen?
I wrote this for her a few years ago but she has
been gone almost two years now. Sure miss her!!...

*The Smiling Sunflower*

The petals of each flower frame the perfect smile

Long cylindrical petals curling up next to each other

Look how sweet and tender my sunflower is

Standing next to hundreds of others rising to the occasion

Of my coming sun
