SORRY TO BLOG AND SCRAM!

The nature of who I am,

So sorry to post and scram…

Wife want eating

Three meals completing,

I’l come back here if I can!

–

This blogs my poetry,

Finding mine is the key…

SEARCH:  “Caswell”–

Most are  revealed,

Written heroically!

–

As to the prompt–almost any–

Subject inspiring–many…

Three or four styles

Bring you smiles,

A Christian blog not like any?

–

–Jonathan Caswell

 

NOBODY WANTED OUR POT–LUCK!

We took what I thought worth taking,

A soup of my own making…

Boiled cabbage and ham

But no thank you Ma’am,

Just me and the wife were taking.

–

Competition was rather strong,

Lasagna and casserole gone…

What little we ate

I’d consolidate

And use for suppers till gone!

–

I had someone’s lemon meringue,

Almost too sweet–no tang–

Along with ice cream

(And lasagna again!),

Enough food for the whole gang!

–

My wife left her pink NORTH  CREEK hat,

I’m rescuing stuff like that…

Everyone knows

Keeping track of clothes

Is anything but old hat!

DO I WISH THESE WERE BEERS?

Snapped open a can of MOXIE,

A passer-by asked, was it proxy…

For a cold beer–

Told her the year,

I stopped such orthodoxy!

–

–Jonathan Caswell

 

A DIET MOXIE EVENING*

A DIET MOXIE affair,

This MOXIE’s not going to be shared…

Three gone

So three lasting long,

Will have to do for the spare!

–

–J.E.C.

*PLEASE NOTE: the current can design is on white without orange lines…this is the can design just previous to the current one..no pictures of the current can?

“DARK GINGER ALE”

A new “dark” ginger ale,

Like ginger beer but “pale”…

Gives a kick

A wicked pick,

Very hearty and hale!

–

A problem you can see,

It’s made with genetically…

Engineered stock

Some think crock,

Examine labels carefully!

–

Don’t know if all brands are so,

But check those labels to know…

For me ginger beer*

Is better my dear,

The sugar content’s greater, though!

–

I bought some for a treat,

And knew already how sweet…

Would be this drink–

Tastes good, I think,

 But genetic engineering—worth a “tweet”?

–

–Jonathan Caswell

*All ginger beer, unless otherwise labelled or noted, is nonalcoholic.

ESPRESSOS OVER ICE

Espresso’s over ice,

Are strong, bitter but nice….

Keep me awake

For caffeine’s sake,

I might have to fill up twice!

–

–J.E.C.

WHY DID HE CHANGE HIS CHURCH?

The “why” of church-going changes,

It takes a while for some ages…

Security

Was important to me,

Hanging on to inadequate arrangements!

–

Unfed and in distress,

He was tired of sleeping in, I guess…

Found a house church

In a Catskills search,

That filled his emptiness.

–

These folk seriously

Studied Bible seriously…

No questions of source–

T’was God , of course,

Living by Faith–that’s for me!

–

No mention of godesses/earth,

Except as about-pagan mirth…

They felt sorry

For eyes gone starry,

Who pushed away Christ’s full worth.

–

Intellectually

A lot that biased minds will see…

I believe

Bible texts received,

Were and are inspired Spiritually!

PLANS FOR THE WEEKEND?

He wears a surgical mask

To do a soldering task…

Window fan

Keeps air grand,

All you gotta do is ask!

–

There’s ALWAYS laundry to do,

Doing it all we rarely get through…

She washes–I hang–

Often the whole she-bang,

For Saturday, make up a stew.

–

When we can attend church,

And watch TV preachers research…

Bible teaching

Is the best preaching,

In the God-created universe!

RUBBERNECKING TRAFFIC

Caught a bid slowdown in traffic,

Three lanes pretty much static…

Halter-topped gal

Getting help from a pal,

Our driving as a result became erratic!

–

All three lanes stuffed to the gills,

Those Friday night commuter ills…

Radio said a crash

Behind us would last,

Long enough to give one chills.

–

Changing lanes is art,

Practised by those thought smart…

Brake for sudden stops

One must have the chops,

To floor it when stopped lines start!

–

–Jonathan Caswell

WHAT CAN I GET HER?

September eighth approaches,

The wife softly coaches…

What she’d like

If stock should spike,

A kitty cat’s one of her torches!

–

Emotional response to need,

I wish I’d guaranteed…

That we could

If we would,

We’d talked this out already…hadn’t we?

–

Thanks be for catalog sales,

From which a husband avails…

Colorful lace

Lingerie with fine taste,

Until then he wonders and flails!  🙂
