Stretchy Neck

Behold the neck of a giraffe
Long enough to make you laugh
Can stretch over the fence in zoo
To find munchy leaves to chew
Of it's length I'm not even half!

Romani Flies

Clean and minty
Plump pink or receding
Capped, implanted, or real
A whistle through gaps
Metal brackets and stretchy rubber bands
Drool on a white cotton pillow case in the dead of night
Twitchy lies and storied gossip, save, 
For a fly does not enter a closed mouth.

Ninny Nonny Noose

ninny nonny noose
     with a neck inside

stretchy stretchy stretch
     and the witch she died

golly, gallows in a gully
hanging hung in such a hurry

spell a spell a spell did she
with a bucket boiling full of tea

with which the witch survived
     never never died

ninny nonny noose
     no neck inside!

fashion is over the hill now

Soft t-shirts, warm flannels, easy to step into
Cozy fleece, light cotton, stretchy elastic waistbands
Comfy nightgowns, flowered pajamas, and a mumu
Retirement encourages a new way to dress
Comfort over class, coziness over chic
Fashion is over the hill now
I live in the country
The only ones who see me are my husband and my dogs

Hurry Home

Off I flew, fist in the air
Leaving those villains unaware
Something was about to escape
From underneath my billowing cape
I have to hurry, up, up and away
I’ll return to fight another day
Gaining speed, higher heights
Thank goodness for those stretchy tights
Through the air I hurl my body
To home to go on my very own potty
Through the air I fly like a scoop
Yes, even Superman has to poop

Baskets

Slim elegance, pencil-sharp,
dark business skirt,
pure contrasts
where the black cuts
a clear white neckline.

Stretchy pants, 
wide at the beam,
rumpled fore and rear,
a clear predilection 
for sweats.

The two women
enter by the same door,
both will leave
by the same door,
never noting each other.

The fuzzy store-greeter,
stacks baskets,
none of which
will have a self-image
until filled.

Nile

Down the dangling Nile
I row row row my boat
Along the curly waves
I try to weave a lock
This stretchy strip 
could bind the world

down the moving Nile
I wished the crock will croak
And then the deer will dare
But when the toad just croaked
I knew the deer isn't there

I dip my thumb in Nile
My thirst just quenched at once
My heart didn’t dry again
My breath came in me so cool
What a waste to try a pool

Ever So Sweet

My sweet baby girl is half-awake, half-asleep. And her toffee yawns are stretchy as caramel. Her cotton candy cheeks are like pink marshmallows. And dark chocolate curls; adorn my baby's head. She sports blueberry eyes and soft licorice lips. And her creamy face boasts a million-dollar smile. A confectionery treat, she is delicious. And gives sugared kisses; that taste; ever so sweet.

A Lesson Learned

Hurting lower back kept me stay constantly aware
Helped take notice of tender muscles that were very painfully sore
I made an appointment to see a chiropractic doctor lady
A few cracks and presses released the pain by being a helpful remedy 
Doing some back exercises helps to maintain it nice and stretchy,
Sitting with a good posture is a key to keep it fit and healthy
A worthy lesson I learned to follow while sitting down to type my poetry

The two women
enter by the same door,
both will leave
by the same door,
never noting each other.

The fuzzy store-greeter,
stacks baskets,
none of which are different
until filled with choices -
samplings that speak
of each self-image.

The Moms

I watch the moms at pre-school
In their stretchy work-out clothes
And remember I was one of them -
Or somewhat, I suppose.

My outfits weren't Lycra
And I didn't drive to school
But I did belong to what you'd call
That stay-at-home mom pool.

I wonder if I seemed to be
As confident as they.
I know inside I certainly
Did not feel quite that way.

I lived that life so long ago
But seeing them en masse
Makes me realize they have not a clue
Of what will come to pass.
