Fall Schmall
I haven't posted since December, and a lot has happened since then, but, really, nothing's happened since then. People visited, tv was watched, the yard was tended, the dog was cuddled with, friends with drama went through life, and friends without drama re-emerged. There were so many times I wanted to post about stuff that was either interesting, or that stressed me out, but writing would have expended more energy than I was willing to give up. I've been exceptionally lazy.
So, here is a recap, in limerick and haiku form. Some seem important, while others are completely unimportant. All seem to blend together for me. September 11 is the day to post this, because it's the first weekday since I wrote them, and since all I want to do is avoid the treacly 9/11 "memorials" wherein the same old points will be made by the same old politicans.
When does Mike Rowe get to be clean?
He's covered in that sweaty sheen
This is my confession
It's my new obsession
Watch Dirty Jobs clean out latrines
Mike Rowe sure does have some finesse
Goes into each job with such zest
His wit does not quit
But I must admit
I watch it for his hairy chest
Those meercats are not so bad either
With Flower mama as their leader
Who told me 'bout this?
This soap opera bliss
'Tween Ace and rusty I blame either
The SciFi Channel does not suck
With doctors, the gates, and Starbuck
The shows are so great
Breath held, I do wait
The movies still make me upchuck
The last ep of Deadwood just aired
And we see that Swearingen cares
But one thing's assured
The Doc will be cured
And Bullock will still put on airs
Em City, they call it, this Oz
The crimes of inmates do give pause
A world of denial
And sins that are vile
Most subject to probable cause
Cesar Millan is my new god
His doggie rules make us applaud
The new boss in town
Is now me, hands down
She no longer runs all rough shod
Cordy trots along
Preowned treadmill runs under
I do love craigslist
One dog's lip curls up
Danger is palatable
Hackles are rising
Hundred pound pavers
Fifty one of them in place
Chiropractor's bill
The chest pounding won't seem to end
Arrythmia isn't my friend
The doctor poo poos it
Bit I still do choose it
I love that Coenzyme Q10!
Therapy needed
Loved one with PTSD
Emotional sigh
Primary voting
Why are there ballots missing?
Ready for boredom
This baby shower sure does suck
They call it a pill baby, but
She's only 18
And acts like a queen
Why can't she just keep her legs shut?
Quadruple bypass
Father-in-law's potential
Squandered and whiny
Wheat kitty litter
Wonderful and flushable
Husband hates the scent
Dead camellias
Brown carcasses protruding
Make way for new life
Greyish-green sproutings
Orange and linen cups abloom
Wildflower poppies
Fruit of pink papers
Blooming yellow canopy
A tree's first bark growth
Tangible fragrance
Lightly brushing green and pink
Are those black things wasps?
Mexican sage blooms
Feathr'y purple explosions
Hummingbirds abound
