“Fog”

Fog

Fog brush strokes the moon, /

softens kitchen window light /

where cookies still bake.

Saturday silliness: “Cookie fails”

Cookie Fails

I have committed all those sins, /

Once and again /

When baking the day away. /

In the kitchen I run /

Mixer, thumb, and hum /

As I try to get the dough my way. /

But, alas, by turns /

Overmixed to burned, /

My baking fails like clay /

Lost on a potter’s wheel /

Self-creation piecemeal /

That has gone astray. /

But fool that I be /

Mount Success for me /

So into the recipe I climb. /

Mix and shape /

Measure and bake /

Then wait again for the timer’s chime.

Then out come my cookies. /

Oh, take a look! See /

How they look divine. /

I sit on my stool, /

Fidgeting until cool, /

Then I dine on this feast of mine.

Photo finish Friday: “A fish tale”

Originally, the song lyrics were to be "Get your fish on Route 66," but that didn't quite make it and it eventually became "Get your kicks on Route 66." But there are still a few who, if you listen closely, sing, "Get your fish on Route 66."
