From the Nursery to the Nursing Home...

Okay, I admit I like to write poetry!  I'm not particularly good at it and I'm certainly no threat to any prominent poet nor...

am I particularly deep, insightful (think Maya Angelou) or intuitive...but, I like to fool around with it now and then.  So, here goes...oh, but first...

General Disclaimer: The following was compiled for my own amusement during (un)reliable moments. It is for entertainment purposes only and is not intended to be taken seriously.

Jake & Jane

Jake & Jane

have brittle bones

barely can they use them.

While Jake does booze

Jane stays loose,

by using a jacuzzi.

Old Mrs Luffet

Old Mrs Luffet

told them to "stuff it!"

Refusing to eat her porridge

The nurse cried, "You'll eat it, or else

we'll force feed it!

Then order you another!"

Made of

What are old men made of?

Stories and mutts

and beer belly guts,

that's what old men are made of.

What are old women made of?

Cookies and pickles

and laughter that tickles,

that's what old women are made of.

Two Old Men

Two old men

sat by the fire

over a snifter of brandy;

Said one old man

to the other old man,

"If I must say, life is dandy!"

Nursing Home

They often sit and wish that they,

could leap right up, then fly away.

To ride upon the wings of hope

to live in dreams the angels wrote.

If they could see beyond this room

 filled with dark and dread and gloom.

Like birds, if they could take to flight

these wings would carry them from sight.
