inside local post office. /
Did you get your gifts?

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.

“My name”
My name
I am not Stanley. /
Why does she call me bad names? /
I call her Gertrude.

Haiku and photo: “Truth”
Truth
Digging up answers /
Is just like digging up bones. /
Results we’ll bury.

Haiku and photo: “Visions”
Visions
I’m a rodent, you see. /
Not a weatherman, who sees. /
See the difference?

Sunday silliness: “Chocolate cake”
Today is National Chocolate Cake Day and National Inane Answering Message Day or NIAD (Nigh-Add) for short.
So, go have a piece or two or chocolate cake and record this on your answering machine:
“I had cake. It was great.
Leave a message and I may relate.
Vanilla’s fine. Strawberry, too.
But chocolate’s the only one that’ll do.
Chocolate cake and chocolate frosting.
Chocolate from beginning to topping.
Leave a message after the beep,
unless you’re a salesman or some beep-beep creep.”

Haiku and photo: “Gallon grief”
Gallon grief
Heartache, ice cream takes /
one gallon or two: cone, scoops, /
pain moves — heart to head.

Photo (cartoon) finish Friday: “Lapses”
Lapses
Another year lapses /
Burdened with what might have beens: /
Tomorrow whispers.

Saturday silliness: “Seasonal Greetings”
Seasonal Greetings
I got a Christmas card from you. /
Now, dang it, I feel obligated to /
Send you one in return, /
A card to make your envy burn. /
Yes, and it will be homemade. /
By my hand, the artistry bade. /
Or maybe something sentimental and rank, /
Since all I draw is to draw a blank.
