Short Spruced Poems

A polar bear seeking a mate
Spruced up his fur coat for a date.
Alas, his sweetheart
Had drifted apart
For sadly, he'd left it too late!

In K-5, K-8 or K-12 is drained
    the curiosity from eager brains

  Then off to college most folks go
    where Truth is disseminated from Moscow

  A nursing home's a spruced-up jail
    from which residents would love to bail ...

  In between, we're on the job every day
    where we're overworked and underpaid...

Santa Baby won't you give me some candy tonight
Santa Baby won't you let sit on your lap snuggle 
Up close and kiss goodnight

Santa Baby I need some Christmas lovin' you see
Santa Baby how neat that you came in a box
Spruced up just for me..

Santa Baby won't you give me some candy tonight...
Nite Nite....

In honor of Carolyn..

You know.....

My garden






Roses peeped in all grace
as waved the white scented flowers,
Irises spruced up on tall stalks
as crocuses stood like trumpets,
Blue bells spruced a frilly lace
and glamourised the heavenly place,
Red and yellow on green grass
floated to garnish the palette,

Of colourful lovely garden,
the vibrant mind garden !!

They spruced themselves up a bit; the faeries were unsure
They felt something but were not able to fully see her.
The elves brownies and forest imps figured it out first,
mayhap due to their close affinity with woods....
