Photo finish Friday: “Go left at the fork”

Go left at the fork.

Go right at the spoon.

Go under the knife

And jump over the moon.

The banana split

During its salad days.

It was easy as pie

To cake walk away.

He’s such a dish.

She’s gone to pot.

They’re in a stew

That’s boiling hot.

His goose is cook.

Her mind is fried.

Don’t butter them up,

They’re raw inside.

If you egg her on

The yoke’s on you.

She’s no apple of your eye

By the time she’s through.

The tables will be turned.

The empty will satiate

As you’re rounding third

And trying to steal home plate.

Life is a pickle,

This you can’t deny.

It’s the pot or frying pan

No mater how hard you try.

You can stir up a frenzy.

You can sift through the rubble.

The ingredients are there

To pickle all your troubles.

When things are ajar

And you feel in a jam

Just remember life will gel

If you don’t act the ham.

Go left at the fork.

Go right at the spoon.

Go under the knife.

Do your dishes soon.

Random act of poetry: “Evening”

Oh, heaven in my bed
I lay me down when enough is said.
It has been a tiring day:
with bills and chores and problems that stay.
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray my slumber be not too steep.
For if I die before I wake
there will be hell to pay, make no mistake!

[Okay, so it’s not a writing tip. Been a busy day, including an unexpected bill for $600. And now I’m in the middle of baking a Valentine’s cake for my daughter’s class tomorrow. –Poem and commentary by David E. Booker]

Photo finish Friday: “Take the bus”

Big Love Bus

Big Love Bus

On a cold winter’s day

what can I say?

Take the Big Love Bus.

During a gray, rainy snap

put on your raincoat and cap

and ride the Big Love Bus.

Tell it where to go.

Sit back and enjoy the show

on the Big Love Bus.

Even if the sun should shine

the ride will still be fine

on the Big Love Bus.

The 1970s didn't die, they got bussed down memory lane.

The 1970s didn’t die, they got bussed down memory lane.
