Cartoonsday: “Pumpkin spice”

Pumpkin spice

Oh, that pumpkin spice.

Some say, “How nice.”

Some say, “It doesn’t entice.”

In your latte or your cocoa cup,

It’s meant to please, to fill you up.

It’s as though this orange gourd

Was handed down by some manor lord.

But is this what Halloween means?

Lining someone else purse with our green

As we smell it, taste it, baste it,

Living as if we cannot waste it?

Oh, that odorous pumpkin spice,

Coming to offer, to entice.

A little pumpkin can be nice,

But a lot is like having lice.

“The flash”

The flash

A flash of inspiration,

Showering the consternation

While trying to find usurpation

Because the damn thing won’t work.

Moments of contemplation,

Mental hiccups and gyrations

Have led to this perturbation:

Water and electricity to twerk.

The world in needed restoration

Could use so full lubrication:

Sweat, blood, toil – an aggregation

Exploding with a jerk.
