The roads around here
have two versions available.
Ice covered or working through construction.
In the city
my place goes from
too warm
to freezing in a matter of minutes.
This is why I have a linen closet
full of just blankets!
Out of Practice
Instinct is no longer
a reliable backup.
If I had been proactive
and looked into the possibilities
I would have realized
that I should have been exercising.
Still, it is good to have the sword in hand
and swing that shinai for fun once more.
Polarized Headache
The sun shines brightly.
The weather is fine.
I should be outside enjoying myself
Instead of hiding behind curtains
Blinking in pain.
Wak Boi
I was wet
But now I’m dry.
I sure could go
For some Apple Pie!
Or chocolate.
Or perhaps coffee?
No Squishing
Cuddles are fine.
Maybe a hug.
But more than that?
No. No squishing!
I don’t need to visit a doctor today
Thank you very much!
The Ad
Picture of a child
in a chef’s uniform.
National flags on the lapels.
Holding wooden spoons in each hand.
Over a wok
with flames in it.
Seriously?
Flames?
Doesn’t that strike you as dangerous?
I honestly think people need to rethink what they want to advertise
before putting it out into public.
Unsquishy
Assessing the threat.
Better be tough.
Don’t want to have an accident.
After all things break.
Even rocks get worn down.
Are you a rock?
Didn’t think so.
Memory of the lost Password
I was pretty sure that was it.
Or was it this one here?
Oh right, I changed it.
What did I change it to?
Maybe this time I should record
the new password somewhere?
I just hope I don’t lose this one too!
Kollosal Klutz
Stumble and jive.
Move like a gale.
Find a wary drive.
Be the first you can be.
No one else will believe you.
So behave like yourself.
Time slips Away
Things to do.
Illnesses to heal.
People to complain about.
Appointments to keep.
Friends to visit.
Children to look after.
Days blur
And lose meaning.
What does it really mean
When you are not able to understand yourself?
Fly back to young
Because old has become taboo.
