Premium Member The Price of Praise

My boss once said, “Your work packs a punch!
You’ve impressed every exec in the bunch!”
I started to beam
Then he ended my dream
Saying, “That’s why your workload just doubled by lunch.”

Asbestos Pudding

Asbestos Pudding


Here have I an ethereal belly
And, before me, asbestos jelly!


(In sly reference to College workload of assignments as inspired by mountains whose bedrock is endowed with asbestos mineral))

Did You Knock

At the beginning you're easy to manage
Then slowly I push you away
As others fill your space
Time is gone so fast each day
Justified
I just want to rest now
I will finish later this chore
That obligation
So easy to glide out the door
Past you...did you knock?
Twice?
I didn't really forget you
A nagging presence.  Notes left
Behind
The deadlines are always down the street
Fear is a stopper.  The procrastinator
Such relief when you are all done
Just knock

Premium Member Dear December-Collab With Jo

Soft snow swirls down as cold breeze blows
A snow-white crown covers the earth
Life is in hibernating throes
Let’s stay inside near the warm hearth

Cold wind-flows keep us wide awake
External body-aches and pains
Pray Winter relief for Christ's sake
Keep mobile, keep warm, and keep sane

Pleasant recalls of days of cold
Work went on and buses would run
Days that would take total control
Still, the workload had to be done
