The days pass, the weeks pass
Could we not at least exchange some crummy
anecdotes about our recent pasts
some poorly recalled bus stop or shop incidents
semi memories of there was this time when
I'll take any half digested subvocal passing thoughts
and an inappropriate and unvoiced yet sincerely held
opinion which you know is safe with me
Throw me a crumb here and I'll toss you

Smiles Throughout the Weeks
Ben and Cora Green had seven children, like calendar pages turning;
Each one born on a different weekday, like mango sun, forever burning.
Zoe was pretty, with big eyes and dimples, while Leah loved dancing,
Yet, Bill was sort of a pessimist; like when mystic trouble is glancing.
Edward had a zeal for jogging, while Ruth ran many errands

For The Story - Drivers
Calling all drivers,
does your car go in reverse?
Why are you over the parking line?
I cannot get into my car,
now waiting until you are done shopping.
For weeks,
it has been happening.
Put your car in reverse and park straight,
or leave your car home where it belongs.

Christmas Eight Weeks Away POTD
Stopping by early, soon it will be Christmas Day,
Shiny gifts, inviting bows, ‘neath the tree do lay,
Hot, mulled apple cider in red glass, deer mugs.
Magnificent family with endless,warm, love hugs!
Roast beef, just glowing with luscious juice.
Sad absence of cousins, Maggie and Bruce!
The peace and love that fills the pine scented room.
Wish all days, were

The puppies now are pitching fits,

you'll be rehomed in a little bit.

Its Been Seven Weeks
It’s been seven weeks
I still feel the same for you
With all the thoughts filling my head
I feel everything
I know these tears I’m shedding are meaningless to you
They cut right through my heart
I lost my soul with you, flying high together,
you let go, letting me fall to pieces
I know these tears I’m

Lampooned Vacation Twice In Two Weeks
In the past 2 weeks
I have just been away
Under the guise of a so called
Break or holiday
The 1st of which was so incredibly
bad beyond description
When I came back I need another
to get over it
Unfortunately for me in the case of
the 2nd
That sadly didn't fare or turn out
much better
So in regards to holidays and break's

Dumbfoundedness Still Prevails Three Weeks Later
Dumbfoundedness still prevails three weeks later...

Flim-flam man left lasting emotional whiplash

last named member and founder of the Byrds
with crosby, stills, young and nash
entire corporeal being turned to hash

Six Weeks To Spring
Brutal winds snap frozen branches,
no drowsy Tree Sparrows soak up sun rays;
I shiver wondering if they can survive...
somewhere huddled together to stay alive!
The Hudson River has the slowest flow in several years,
it struggles to reach the huge Atlantic Ocean that roars;
there all the boats are anchored while hungry seagulls
search the icy waves for a prey

Two Weeks Before Christmas
It isn't looking to me at all like Christmas,
There's been no ice, nor sleet, nor snow.
I've heard no jingle bells in the air,
Or caroling on the square,
Or seen anyone anywhere
All bundled up like an Eskimo.
And I'm thinking no tree for me this Christmas,
My apartment's rather small.
Can't seem to get in the mood to buy
A fruitcake

Lets just get on the mend.' Give amazon and others a holiday space
And more Important yourselves' just step off the goods race
For there's two weeks of freedom, maximise it and how'
Hit percentage throw a spanner
Explore a new kind of WOW.' Take

It Will Be Three Weeks Tomorrow
It Will be Three Weeks Tomorrow
By Franklin Price
02/07/2022
It will be three weeks tomorrow
Since my wife and soul mate died
I'm still in shock about it
Many thousand tears I've cried
Many friends have shared my sorrow
Through the internet and phone
The neighbors come to check on me
Though she's not here, I'm not alone.
Cards of your condolences
Have reached me

Just Two Weeks-Buzzwords
“Just two weeks to flatten the curve!”
So wear your mask! Of all the nerve!
Yes, two arms’ length, six feet apart
to save a life and show some heart.
We can’t let the old covids roam,
So send them to the nursing home!
Hydroxychloriquine? No thanks!
They sell that where you buy fish tanks!
Joe Rogan says, “Ivermectin!”
It’s goat dewormer for the
