Clearing her old shelves

Mom's bread pan--

Before it rusted.

Prophetic Or Coincedence

My favorite job is to stock shelves
Now here is what is a shocker
in High School I was voted most
Likely to become a stocker!

The Shelves are Packed

The shelves are packed
Not an empty gap in sight
The books are dusty

Men and women lie in the books
But the books are dusty

empty shelves again
           pet food has been hard to find
                 pet’s don’t understand

While I decorate my shelves

Please don't make fun of his height

He's just one of Santa's Elves

Travel is the perfect teacher

  Aging shelves hold well-worn books
    aboard whose ships I stowed

A Christmas Wish

Teenage boys have a Christmas wish
For a nymphomaniac dish
Though Santa's elves
Have searched their shelves
The best they can do is, "Go Fish"

Prepackaged Happiness

There are little boxes
Of happiness up high
On shelves where 
No one can reach.
They are all yellow
And grey
And so light they might just 
Float away

Premium Member Retired

Said dear old Santa to his elves,
You will have to go by yourselves.
I am old and tired.
Time that I retired
Just get toys from the Walmart shelves.

Premium Member thanks for being so neat

Seeing aisles of messy shelves
Before a shopper even delves
Is a horrible curse
Which Whole Foods can reverse
With stockers who were Santa's elves

Stored upon old dusty shelves In the bosom of our home Waits the bounty of last season Summers yield from fertile earth During barren months sustain

Free Range - One For the Vegans

Freed a dozen hens today
 For a week or so
 $2 (additional) the price of freedom
 On the supermarket shelves
 Even though I may pontentially
 Have stolen all their children

Beauty

Beauty is not an equation of intelligence neither a way to earn respect, it is just a way to fool people! What you see on the shelves is not what you always get on delivery!

Premium Member Mind Tricks

when shelves are bare,
Old Mother Hubbard…
when bread, butter and eggs
only find themselves
on a politician’s spread,
will we still believe
what the Jedi says?

  Duval, Florida school shelves are now barren

  What kind of specs are those folks wearin'

Vanishing

I moved the shelves to clean behind,
Tidying my thoughts –
A sliver of lizard slithered out.

As I stepped aside
The lizard slipped in the gap again,
Its copper body
Vanishing.

Failing

Failing in life, is the purpose of the lesson.
Think of it as a well taught true blessing.
Without being tested we wouldn't know ourselves.
Like books without words sitting on the shelves

Premium Member This Is Wrong, But

Rude people who think only of themselves -
I would like to sit atop mantle shelves
Yes, I know that is wrong
but it's where they belong
when they act like those impish little elves
