Slack sails shift from side to side
Oar broke, rudder lost
To wander the ocean wide

My wife is a Registered Nurse
At 60, she still had "The Curse"

Just got the short shrift
And somewhere your gift went adrift!

And drive to a bar 
A drink a whole barrel of beer

Spring’s equinox path far askew 
But Gregory’s shift
Of ten days closed the rift
So Easter eggs roll now on cue

THE HAUNTED HOUSE

The haunted house on the hill
Shift around at a moment's will
To draw in a crowd
Who's drunk and real loud
So they'll stumble in for the kill

The gathering gold ascends
Bright on the summer sky,
And summertime morning blends
Yellow and blue up high…
And the shimmering clouds shift by.
