Haiku to you Thursday: “Arfs”

Arfs

Arfs in the sunlight. /

Sunbathing after tub bath. /

A newness begins.

Haiku and photo: “Brains”

Brains

If I had my brains /

I’d share some of them with you. /

I’ll keep an eye out.

Photo and poem: “Not a curse”

Not a curse

Get vaccinated. Wear a mask.

Neither are difficult tasks.

Do it for yourself and your friends to see.

Show compassion and responsibility.

It’s not a trick and it’s not a shame.

Treat yourself and others the same.

Kindness and courtesy are not a curse.

Being sick or dead would be far worse.

Rise up now and do your part.

A mask and a shot are moral places to start.

Two helpings of Sabbath

“The day of rest comes but once a week, and sorry am I that it does not come oftener. Man is so constituted that he can stand more rest than this. I often think regretfully that it would have been so easy to have two Sundays in a week, and yet it was not so ordained. The omnipotent Creator could have made the world in three days just as easily as he made it in six, and this would have doubled the Sundays. Still it is not our place to criticize the wisdom of the Creator.” – Reflections on the Sabbath – Mark Twain

Poem and photo: “Oh, my balls…”

Oh, my balls…

Oh, my balls are a tangled mess /

Clattered together like a car wreck compress. /

Oh, my balls are twisted tight. /

Not really painful, but oh, what a sight. /

Oh, my balls are dangling there /

Unable to move in the moaning air. /

Yes, my balls are one big wad. /

They’d be blue if attached to a bod. /

But thankfully, they’re just hanging there, /

Bunched up on their rack without a care.

Sunday silliness: “Hunter’s stew”

Hunters stew

Deep in the forest, /

made with choice ingredients, /

Autumn Hunters Stew.

Silly Saturday: “Killer Bunnies of the Apocalypse”

Killer Bunnies of the Apocalypse

It’s the Killer Bunnies of the Apocalypse.

Death in their DNA got the slip.

Now they roam the countryside.

Wild, winged, and bent on genocide.

Beware! should you cross their path.

They travel in herds and will attack.

Munch and crunch and chew to the ground

all flora and fauna and toes that can be found.

There is but one way to tame these bunnies.

That is to roll them over and rub their tummies.

But you might not be able to get that near,

at least not until you’ve have a couple of beers.

These bunnies are fierce in their apocalyptic way,

but belly rubs and carrots could save the day.

Saturday silliness: “Corg”

Corg

I am the Corgi. /

Resistance is but futile. /

Scratch me now, human.
