STRANGER THINGS…

Stranger outcomes happen,

When opportunity’s tapping,

Wanting in

And you begin

Writing ideas you’re trapping!

–

He’s written ’bout Christ and trains–

Weather seems worth one’s pains….

Fashion poems are new

As something to do,

And the challenge takes working brains!

–

I’d say it is channeling energy,

Most of which has left me….

Shapes and sizes

And stylish surmises,

Still need a bard’s entrée.

–

“An eye for the women.” one said,

Focusing on their clothes instead..

“Clothes make the man”

And women, and can

Leave little more to be said!

–

YET–a poet describes,

Details that emanate vibes…

Along a track

That likes feedback,

Both positive and wise!

TIME FOR NEW SHOES?

TIME FOR NEW SHOES?

(Parody lyrics for THE YELLOW ROSE OF TEXAS)

–

My right foot tends to wear down

The outside of the heel,

Some waxed floors catch me sliding

On that patch–what a thrill (?)…

I’ve barely worn these shoes for long,

Just six months to a year,

For some of that I sat

Confined to an easy chair!

–

I’ll have more foot surgery

In a few weeks,

Some stuff needs removing

’cause the original wound still leaks…

I hope these size twelves still fit

When I go to the job,

If I get caught be home nursing

i will not earn a bob!

If I ‘m transferred to home nursing

I will not earn a bob!
