one on a ladder
the other one holding it

maybe a cow or a dinosaur or a space creature

Picture of a Weasel

While he worked on an easel
Painted picture of a weasel
Some schnitzel sounds good
Have some wish I could
Maybe sneeze I now will....

it well understood
if it sounds good
you play
it comes your way
you if it rap or pop
you chose it 
its from the block
you dance  and prance
MUSIC IS MUSIC
HIPHOP RAP OR POP...

Running out of topics so here's what I suggest
For every topic you send me, I'll give you a warm caress
Though distances are vast
Somehow I'll manage
“Teleportation” sounds good, no matter your address...

Playing with words very tactfully
Often comes from heart, not forcingly
Expressing yourself emotionally
Techniques of writing to be followed, preferably
Rhyming sounds good but not mandatory
Yield of thinking anything thoughtfully...

Welcome to gnome village
where the lemonade is free
and the inhabitants want to feed you cookies

Sounds good to me, I agreed.
Where do I sleep?
Who takes me in?

You are a giant, one of the gnomes told me.
Don’t push your welcome....

Don't touch me!
For if you do you might feel.

Don't listen to me!
For if you do you might hear.

Don't look at me
in the eyes
for if you do you might
have the compulsion to question
what feels and sounds good.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

radical stuff, yeah?...

“I'll follow you to the ends of the earth” is a very old line
But recently, they've discovered earth is round, will take a long time
Sounds good on paper
But methinks this caper
Could mean death crossing by dinghy the ocean brine...

Sounds of summer is such a treat
song birds singing, green leaves rustling,
busy bees buzzing, doves cooing 
love of summer makes life complete.

What’s the shtick with coffee?
Why can my love, grow so cold, so fast?
Before microwaves, we’d keep to a tiny cup at a time
with no creamer. A little bit of the grind to warm us up-
a love so strong, kept on the fire. Cool beans*

I’ll have the “Questionable Choice Salad”

Appetizer…The “what could go wrong Sushi Surprise”

Entrée…The “It sounds good to me surf and burp special’

And for desert… The “it seemed like a good idea at the time” double chocolate cake

what sounds good isn’t always good 
the tunes,the beat, the rhythm 
all could be the work of the enemy 

guard your heart by what you listen to 
by what goes into your mind, body, and soul 
dont let it influence what you do ..
but change your ways by being made new!

Trump sounds like a poker term
President Trump sounds like a joke 
But we'll get used to it
Trump, who'd ever believe 
He'd be president?
POTUS Trump,
Sounds good, eh?
Despite all they say,
Despite all the controversy,
I believe in him,
He'll do good for the USA
And the world!...

I think it’s a praying mantis alien.
How would you know?
It is guess; I am following my thinking brain.
Because it looks like a praying mantis?
Maybe.
What does it look like to you?
I do not have a better idea than that actually.
How do we communicate with it?
Do you speak bug?
Not that I know.
Me neither.
Let’s just do the best we can.
Sounds good to me!...

Caramel Apples

Slowly melt some Caramel
over a low flame
dip a Granny Smith apple
set it on a plate
let the apple cool
open mouth 
Bite!


Candy Apples


Try 
melting some
red candy apple
ultra sweet dip mix
with a cup of corn syrup
dip apple in mix
let cool on a plate then eat



This is a double reverse Epulaeryu.....MMMMM sounds good doesn't it?...

“Eye of newt, and toe of frog,
Wool of bat, and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork, and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg, and owlet's wing,—
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and caldron bubble.”
? William Shakespeare  Macbeth  The Witches brew


I’m hungry, sounds good to me~ I sure hope it’s gluten and dairy free

I do not call for sleep
It's good to wake up late at night

I do not know what you think about me
But it sounds good to talk to you

Let me know whether or not
But it looks good to care for you

Friendship with you is right or wrong
But this feeling is good to live in

Will you ever meet or not
But it sounds like a dream

 Non-fascinated Rohilla knows for you
But you start feeling good about yourself...

Not wanting to nap is almost impossible today 
Sophie dog is older, a black cocker, and naps most of the time.
As I sit at my computer, freezing, she lies at my feet snoozing.
Each Z she cuts reminds me that curling up under covers sounds good.
School is cancelled, for we have four fresh inches of new snow.
My feet are freezing. Either I get on another pair of socks or
I curl myself around Sophie Dog and cut my own Z’s....

She’s driving safely.
While I’m tapping furiously.
“Fast food near me.”
Tap. Tap. Tap.
An idea! An idea.
Scrolling.
That sounds good…
Red light, green light, yellow light.
She’ll eat anything.
Except what is in this three mile radius.
My eyes are strained from my phone.
As hers are from driving.
Tap. Tap. Tap.
A car honks, and I look up.
I see a bright sign to our left.
I put my phone away. 
And point to the restaurant....

It rolled off the tip of my tongue
clear and easy
sounds good to say
I used it in conversation
to hear what people would say
it's something cool and groove
something you say on a tuesday
for a date on friday
or a magical Saturday night
I exaggerate the sound
carried out to ah soothing slur
what do you prefer
Don't it sound groovy
supper or ah movie
how about some dancing
the nights right for romancing
let go out on the town...
