Short Jovially Poems

A pleasurable, pleasing, pure pudding is being prepared
Covered and caked in cookie crumble
A really rampant, ridiculous but robust routine
Jammed jovially into a jumble...

He was born to sting, sting
He stings men who smile
He stings men who fight
He stings women who love
He stings those who mourn
He stings kids play jovially
He stings everyone in society 
Because he swallowed bees,
That time he was still a baby...

Candles Caper

A burning candle delivers euphoric feelings.
Giving harmonious influences jovially.
Kindling loves, merry nuisances, opulently.
Plays, quietly romancing songs transcendently. 
Capturing lovers in her flickering flame.

My obese dog, Wunder-Mutt, 
was hungry.
I gave "fatty" some sausage pizza.
"Good boy" I jovially said.
"We shall both diet tomorrow."
He wagged his tail, to agree.

Then...Darn it!
I fell and hit my fat head.
Concerned, he licked left-over 
mozzarella off my double chins.
Ah, obesity~the joy that never ends!

Jovially, you approach life, with jokes to share.
Optimistically, you view obstacles as opportunities.
Sacrificially, you ensure safety for loved ones' care.
Honorably, you'd rather do what's right than appease.
Understandingly, you unfold patient behavior.
Admirably, you exhibit traits of a savior.

For my dear husband. 
His name means "Yahweh is Saviour" or "to save." 
He has saved my life.
