    truck
    It’ four a.m.
    I woke with a start
    I’m as worried as can be
    I think I’ve fried the poor trucks brain
    By mixing up
    It’s polarity
    Instead of red to red
    And black to black
    I did it
    Just the other way
    Who knows whats frizzeled
    What angst it’s in
    It sits dejected, mute, cold
    We’re both in complete
    Despondency!


  • OVER WEIGHT

    IMG_4664 (427x640)
    I have muffins on my waist line
    Cream puffs on my stomach
    Pizzas layer my shoulders
    And hamburgers bulge my thighs
    I’m a walking delicatessen
    And bakery all combined
    I waddle here, I waddle there
    Jiggle and shimmy along my way
    I eat too much, I can’t say no
    My life is brimming full of woe
    This has to stop, I see that now
    I won’t be able to get in my car
    No movies, no coffee with friends
    I’m begging for help
    Walk with me, encourage me,
    Scold me, threaten me
    Mine is a desperate journey
    I must jettison these bulging groceries
    All of them! Now!
