Last night, the barn cat caught a gopher
Later, her eyes told me
"it was delicious."

Once was a man who liked to laugh
Writing poetry was his hobby and craft
He’d create silly lines
Writing nonsensical rhymes
Sadly, his friends thought him quite daft.

There once was a man with large toes
He also wore very fine hose
His socks were grand
tho' an off name brand
A company called Socks for Schmoes

A young girl liked to eat s'mores
Sadly, they clogged up her pores
She developed large pimples
that rivaled her dimples
and grew into large ****** sores.

Food, a joyous experience
Creates breathless excitement and anticipation
Whether its pizza, pasta, or taco salad
Ecstasy results with consuming the creation.

Those dark ground beans
So flavorful and rich
Take it black, or with sugar and cream
It doesn’t matter which.

I drink it in the morning
As I watch the sun rise.
There seems to be some balance
Dark, steaming coffee and beautiful, blue skies

With my coffee in the morning
We plan out my day
Coffee and I discuss the job before me
And decide the best plan, the best way

Coffee punctuates my day
At the beginning and the end
In the morning I drink several cups
And say hello to a good friend

In the evening I prepare a fresh ***
And continue an established trend
For tomorrow we will rise and plan
Another day and tasks to tend.

Heavy squares of grass
Bundled with twine
Dried shards scratch and cut your hands
Leaving slivers, causing pain and itch
Like an overzealous bee sting.

Stacking hay, a simple jig saw puzzle
Two front-to- back, two sideways,
Reverse, repeat

My advice: wear gloves.
