A thought worthy of post,
Publisher’s Clearing House…
Paper deployment
gives employment,
To workers otherwise left out!
–
Instead of thinking of trees,
Consider families….
Off of the dole
with control
Over their lives–yes please!
–
Next time you sputter like I,
Consider just why…
We should be glad
Folks are helped out of bad,
Situations when “winner” notices fly!
–
–Jonathan Caswell
The most troubling to my soul,
Is not taking full control…
When eating
Often defeating
Attempts at self-control!
–
I’ll be on the right track for a day,
And given the chance–throw away
The good progress
Ending a mess,
Then making excuses that day.
–
Not asking for support
Denies me a safe port…
Where I sail
Before I fail,
And my priorities sort.

NOT ENITRELY APPROPRIATE
–
For a college grad, he’s stupid,
Naive in many ways about Cupid…
Wanted to be liked again
Blurted out his intend,
Instead of using light remarks more suited.

A MODERN ANALOGY–II.
The Unicorn and Eunuch contend
That neither is the best way for men…
For unicorns, a virgin,
Finds his strength emerging
In a way eunuchs pretend.
–
Eunuchs, if with a man’s mind,
May almost wish to be blind…
No way to effect
An answer direct,
Few ways to answer in kind.
–
So what is the upshot of this,
Is a eunuch worth a triste…
A way to get through
Is a mix of the two,
Being comfortable with relative bliss.
–Jonathan Caswell
LIVING AS ONE?
Discussion with a neighbor
Wasn’t copacetic…
Reminded me of living
With a non-diabetic.
–
The neighbor served key lime pie
One member of a pair….
So he could go on “living”,
That sounded so unfair!
–
The other one got nothing,
Nor even dessert at all…
Is it any wonder diabetics’
Will powers often fall?
–
My Mom and Dad were such a pair,
He was and she was not…
His exercise machine sat next
To where she kept candy bars in stock.
–
The freezer kept them extra cold,
Every session he’d sneak one or two…
She wondered why his sugar stayed high
‘Til the truth came suddenly to…!
–
She tried different hiding places
And he’d figure them out quick…
She’d notice the supply took a nose dive
And her husband got real sick.
–
With my wife and I, we’re both
Diabetics…inequality is less there…
But I will bring home the salty snacks,
The edema makes that choice less fair.
–Jonathan Caswell
