Why would they make erasers
If we were not allowed to make mistakes
my pencils are excellent examples of all
the mistakes that I make
My erasers are TOTALLY worn
on down to the nub
Even the mechanical pencils
that I REALLY love.

Why would they make pencil
sharpeners with erasers on the side
If you were you and  you are you
and you were lying
you would say “your guess is as good as mine”
You know that you make as many mistakes as I do
And I make them all the time.

That is why the eraser companies will never go out of business.

I think we should
drink cheap wine all the time
and jump on the bed
and stand on our heads
If we drank cheap wine
all the time
we would not have to put on such airs
with our legs in the air
after we finished jumping on the bed
and stood on our heads
with our legs in the air-legs in the air
hair hanging down
flying all around
jumping on the bed
drinking cheap wine
we better wear a helmet
legs and hair flying all around
we could fall off while jumping
on the bed drinking cheap wine
fall off the bed and land on our
head hair and legs flying all around

Everythings aflying when you drink
cheap wine….

I am motivated
I am wired
I am truly inspired
I have a connection to the universe
Verse verse
Either that or I fell on my head
Don’t know which is worse
worse worse
I am a little stuck
Maybe coming unglued
Feeling a little depleted
On the verge of being rude
Rude rude
Got my headphones on
headed on down the road
road road
Going to jump in the sea
Great for what ails you I am told
told told
Going to end this train of words
as the sun slips in to gold
gold gold

I have a little grandson
His name is Metoo
Where ever you are going
he wants to be with you
He is a totally creative about
what he wants to do
And he always wants to make sure he is doing it
with and just for you!
It can be the flamboyant use of stickers
Or crayoning the floor and perhaps the wall
He does not crave your attention he just wants to
have it all.
He’ll convince you wearing bike helmets are pre-fect-ly
acceptable in bed
You never know when you are going to crash in your sleep
or perhaps fall on your head.
He will argue on the finer points of what ever it might be
with the indisputable logic of someone that is older than he.

But then again he used to be the Angry Rhinoceros, so this is an
improvement over what he used to be.

Keys are gone again without a trace
Why does this happen I know I ALWAYS
put them in the same place.
Oh masterful brain
please help save time
I will look for them even though
they are not mine
Keys are sneaky tiny things
they hang out in places
where your hands have been
But if I tell you where they were found
like in small places
that keys go when pants are hung
upside down

It takes all the fun out of hide and go seek

Listen
to the ears of corn
barely audible
in the still heat
crickets pause quietly
in the tall grass for the
gentle rustle of the softly
waving leaves
standing waiting for the
breeze so I can listen
without breathing

The thing about missing
it puts you where you are not
supposed to be
It puts you there
when you are supposed to be here
It puts you in a state of “not” being anywhere
and you end up “missing” where you are
in any moment in time being that you want to be there
instead where you are .

It is the tail chasing event
in our lives and puts us neither here NOR there

Best to go tickle someone

For those of us
with cholesterol
we have a cake for you
but your paredims must
shift and not stick like glue
it is a cake of velvet chocolate
made with more better beets
(that is a vegetable but no eggs or oil too)
Everyone is taking statins of generic or home-boy-mo-pathetic
they suck the fat out of your brains and give you dementia or
worse Altzheimers ( oh you are senile is that why you are laughing)….
My husband and I ate half the velvet cake
he said he could taste the dirt but he has been complaining as of late (and always)
But half is gone so the dirt that was there was by default and not a
mistake( it added to the flavor- that is the taste)
So if you want to come by we will give you a plate
and you can have a taste of the Choc Velvet Cake made
with More Better Beets
