Melon is the secret ingredient

for the flavor and the light colouring.

It is soft and moist

delicious in its fluffiness

and deserving of high praise.

I have never tasted it

but that is because I do not like Melons.

Looking at the problems and not ignoring them

Trying to mitigate the damage before it comes

Finding possible solutions for when the inevitable happens

or

Hiding your head in the sand ignoring the problems

Waiting for things to happen and then scream “Help!”

Grabbing onto the first solution even if it is bad

The difference is what you struggle with

and where it leads you

Calling in sick

Not plugging in the vehicle last night

Keeping a healthy child home from school

Not eating supper for two nights in a row

Waking up and playing on your computer in the middle of the night

This is what moms who are sick do

What’s the consequences

of traveling back

and informing

your younger self

of the horrendous mistakes

you made?

You would be making yourself smaller

and yet we still want to

so on with the experiments

and see what time has to offer.

Never as good as they are.

Never able to be the best.

The work produced is always shoddy

and not top rate,

not like theirs.

It will never be perfect

yet I will never stop trying

for perfection though never attainable

is wonderous in the attempt!

Imagining what they feel

What could make them cranky

or stressed

or unhappy

or bored

and why they react poorly

to the situation they are in

Giving them a break

because you imagine how they feel

knowing that you to sometimes feel the same

He endures my puns

and likes my jests.

We have a similar sense of humour

I enjoy his company

and like it when he comes over.

We seem to really get along.

He is my friend

He is my best friend

and I love him dearly!

It is useful and desired.

Chaos is beautiful

but not always welcome

unless treated as artistic expression.

When life allows you to function

at peak performance

staying on top of the chaos

can be empowering.

Yet sadly, too many fall victim

to the reacting to pressure

and not enough of the thwarting its dangers.

So, beware my friends of the temptation

chaos lures you with

or you’ll end up like me.

Desperately hoping for miracles

and not finding any.

She is curled up

watching as others move by

doing tasks and things

she doesn’t understand.

She is making things warm

and more difficult for me to type

since I only have one hand free

while the other holds

the small cat to my chest.

As things settle down

I wonder if she’ll fall asleep

because both of us

right now

are content.

My own fault

Lack of sleep

Books needed to be read

Fascinating books

Good books

Well written books

Books in a series

oh my

One left

Still need to be read

but sleep first

then find out what happens next
