Wind in the sea
Skimming
Rippling

Fishes rapid fire
flashing their fins

Beckoning me to come in.

Waking up to walk
in the wind
Escape this
mood I am in
Tossing and turning
in my bed
Wonder what has gotten
in my head

Waking up to walk in the wind

My hair is not participating
It really is a mess
It looks like the Israeli Airforce
has run through it at best
It has taken many a wrong turn,
flattened out my flip

Whoa! here it comes again
for another dip

It is really challenging
having hair like mine
just ask my mother
hers does this stuff all the time

Why do you think she wears a hat!

Little Goat here
Standing at the Edge of the
Dismal Abyss
Carrying all the Woes and Troubles
the Blowing of the Shofar did miss
Sigh…it is quite a long list
but don’t let me bore you
let us return to where I am
Ahem
So, teetering here on the Edge of the
Dismal Abyss
Swaying to and fro
It is readily apparent in which
direction I will go
Shofar I have everyone’s Attention, right?!
Good. Let us continue….

Here  I am, Little Goat
Teetering here on the Edge of
This Dismal Abyss
I am going add MY wish to the end of the list
(that is before I go)
I would really prefer to be at the Beach

I really think it would be better for
all concerned that Yom Yippur be
declared a “Beach Day”

It would really let me off the hook
AND I would get to be written
in the Big Book
(where there are  many other wise things  that I think you folks need to be concerned about)

Reporting from the Edge as it said
by the Little Goat

Slightly Confused
or Probably Hard of Hearing
Toward the Check Deposit Machine
I was steering.
The man said the machine was a Little Confused
Is that why no one was using it?
ohhhhh wait a minute

He said “No, Out of Use”

Ah dear ,I think I am all three.

Don’t pick me up from the train
If you don’t want me to get lost
I will find my way to your house
No matter what the cost
I will use my Waze or GPS
Or Google Maps
But don’t pick me up at the
train or plane if you don’t want to consider me
a little lost
I know where I am suppose to be
At least most of the time
if I get lost the problem will be mine
I am really good at talking
even though my
older daughter told me not
to the people for directions
though
everyone thinks there is an evil plot
to steal me off to somewhere
“don’t lose my mother” please
you would think that by speaking to a stranger
they would steal me
Even though my husband says
“that is the only way I would ever be able to get her to leave me”

Sooooo therefore
Like I said
Don’t ever pick me up at the train
or plane
if you don’t want me to
“get lost”

Red alert
the spider did not fall down
your shirt
sequel to my poem
he was behind the cushion
all alone
no witnesses
caught him
squished him
kiss of death

you can figure
out the rest (buried him in the back yard)

If you had a better sense of humor
and were more understanding
you would just know
why I had to climb on the couch
using your shoulders, while you
were taking nap and sit on your head
to catch that tiny spider with my duster.

I know you thought it fell down your shirt
But it didn’t
At least I don’t think so
Besides you shouldn’t make a big issue of me stepping
on your toe
It was only your baby toe and it didn’t hurt but so much
I could tell ‘cose you didn’t yell at all…well not so much
that is

Honestly you didn’t want that spider to bite you,did you.
I threw it out the window just for you
(unless of course it fell down your shirt)

I just didn’t realize how sensitive you were
I mean I could just let him bite you

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….
