It’s like water that has flowed,
Over a dam to unload…
Stuff downstream
With no way to clean,
Stuff from the past that’ll goad!

EXHAUSTED BY BEING A BLOGGER!
EXHAUSTED BY BEING A BLOGGER!
–
Does he blog seven hours straight?
How can he in that state?
He must like to blog
To readily whole hog,
Piling a full blog-plate!
–
Working with brain energy
Drives some folk up a tree…
In order to write
Fight a good fight,
Renewed by reader commentary.
–
His job allows time
For expression in rhyme…
Soon he’ll stop
Before the drop,
If his relief is on time!
–
Gabbing with fellow artists
Is worth the fall-asleep risk…
He’ll try to answer all
For some he’ll stand tall,
Going back for any he’s missed!

HE LOOKS BUT
HE LOOKS BUT
–
He looks but it’s not the same,
He won’t stare at “what’s her name”…
Passion near-gone,
Less likely to fawn
Over gorgeous women for whom he’d long.
–
Seeing lovely details,
Before commitment pales…
What was exciting
Is less inviting,
The wind’s knocked out of his sails!
–
A nice shapely blonde
Of whom he could be fond…
He’ll leave alone
He has no black tome,
To his wife he’d rather respond.

A ROMANTIC ONE FALLS
A ROMANTIC ONE FALLS…
–
A romantic one falls flat,
There’s no way to reconcile that…
No one took the bait
His skills under rate,
He’s had his ten-count on the may!
–
Of course his wings were clipped,
No one got to read the script…
Poor execution
Meant no resolution,
Stock in his “cause” dipped.

DODGED A BULLET?
DODGED A BULLET?
–
A woman with potential complaint,
Passing his desk Friday, ain’t….
She’s not passed by
Doesn’t know why,
Maybe she’ll not add her taint?

THE SIGH OF RELIEF
THE SIGH OF RELIEF
–
Payday has come–in brief–
We heave a sigh of relief…
Not out of the woods
But in the black–good–
‘Though spending is on a short lease.
–
Edging back from the breach,
Defying our temptations to preach…
Back from the dead
Financially said,
To do anything is a reach!
–Jonathan Caswell
A FOOT TOO FAR!
A FOOT TOO FAR!
–
He knew when he started the car,
Somehow he wasn’t up to par…
Backing up wouldn’t stop,
His foot just slopped–
His foot was to the left…too far!
–
After having a scare,
He put his foot squarely there…
When panic settled
Put his hammer to the pedal
Renewed confidence in the air!
–Jonathan Caswell
THE SPLASH OF LIFE!
THE SPLASH OF LIFE!
–
Sprinkler timing key
Avoiding sprinkling me…
Mistimed dash
Means wearing a splash,
The thing got the “drops” on me!
—-Jonathan Caswell
CULINARY MASTERPIECE?
CULINARY MASTERPIECE?
The town has a new HOT WOK,
A take-out place worth town talk…
The talk of the town
For all who’ve gone down
At this tiny little place, we gawk.
–
They sell good Chinese
Food that seems to please…
Haven’t tried it,
Can’t eat a bit
The salt and sugar we leave.

A GOOD DAY
A GOOD DAY
My eyes are getting tired,
Transposing has increased–
It is a good day after all!
–
Spent some time with friends
And wrote some verses new–
Just waiting for the other shoe to fall.
–Jonathan Caswell
