Are you fit enough?
Can you move as lithely
Or do you need to tone your scales?
If not we can help at Lizard Fit.
Slither on in
And see one of our many claws
For the end of suntime sale.
Bask your tails and slim those gills
On one of our many rocking apparatus.
See you soon.
Don’t let the cold
Make you hibernate.
Whether you are cleaning out the spam
or just cleaning anything out
getting ready for the weekend
used to be more fun.
Anticipating seeing friends
or doing activities with other people
was so lovely to look forward to.
Nowadays the masks cover their smiles
but it can not hide the eyes.
You can always tell by the eyes.
So if you’ll excuse me
I am going back to bed
so the tired, bagged and blotchy eyes are less noticeable.
No one can make a horse drink
even if it is lead to water.
A flower’s petals will wilt in the fall
even if you tend it all through summer.
Time moves forward
even though we wish for a reverse.
Give me a book and tell me to read it
and I’ll look at you like you are daft!
So many articles.
Should I read this one?
Oh, really I didn’t know that!
Aw, how cute. That cat is adorable!
Politics make unhappy, yet I need to stay up to date.
I wonder if I should try this.
Bad advice is just bad. Why do they continue to publish this!
Maybe I should stop and get some work done.
Oh, wait!
Now that is something I would never have guessed….
The brain tricks itself
or backtracks and causes doubts to appear.
Where did I place my glasses?
Did I take my medication?
When was the last time I looked at my calendar?
Can I get away with not showering? Again?
Nope.
Ok, I did just take a shower right?
Didn’t I already cook supper?
I know I did last night.
Wait, that was two nights ago.
Maybe that is why the kids keep saying they are hungry.
Just kidding.
They are old enough to raid the fridge if they are hungry.
Now about that shower….
When was the last time I had one?
A thin before the thick.
A trouble of ganders
before the geese get back.
Control of the ozone
fraught between the borders.
Where is the journey
as we all melt to thin.
Sins are made
and overcome
when thin is the melody.
Nowadays I receive a phone call
where the number is local
only to find it is an automated
demand to give money to a false government site.
Then later I receive a phone call from a lady
who claims I called her.
I check my phone.
Nope no accidental pocket calls.
Ahh, scammers
you have taken my number from me!
Damn you.
Damn you all!
I found it.
In myself.
No one can love me
like I can love myself.
Yet, even then
I want more.
Don’t we always.
So should it happen
I’ll be here.
Snooty rich people
talk about the plebes
as if they were amusing monkeys.
Our common tastes
and pleasures
are not something they can comprehend,
Yet, the joke is on them.
We laugh at them
more often
they know.
It is incessant.
Relentless.
Non-stop
unless someone
presses the button!
