While we still don't know the answer

to the question long debated

Whichever one was first

was surely motivated! 

Fruit Fright

With some fake apple juice and a slick headband knife,

One fruit gave another the scare of its life... 

(And this gross play on words is a horrific scene

But please don't let it ruin your fun Halloween!)

Homeowners!

The boxes are packed

And the tape is dispensed -

Our migration to JP

Has finally commenced.

The wonderful townhouse

We stumbled upon

Has rendered us "homeowners!"

Our renting days gone.

So once the dust settles

And we've trimmed our abode

You'll have to come visit

At our new zip code!

Pod Life

House hunting's quite a process, with lots of turns and twists, 

Like other buyers, mortgages, and keeping thorough lists!
But (knock on wood) if things go well, when all is said and done,
We'll have more room to call our own (and for a dog to run!)

"String Theory"

Wishing you a fantastic trip around the sun this year!

Make way for Moms

To all my friend's Moms

And all my Mom friends

(And also to cows, does, ewes, mares, and hens)

Today is the day

To celebrate you

And the guiding, the teaching, and loving you do!

All through the house...

There's a bundle of sweets that I dream of all year,
With Christmas upon us, it's time they appear.

Pizzelles—how crispy! Torrone, so apropos...
Ambrosia like clouds, wandi like a bow!

Now away to the kitchen I must swiftly dash
Before all the desserts are gone in a flash!

Heading into Halloween

Inspired by my new pursuit

(And hankering for candied loot)

On this nearing Day of the Dead

I'm looking forward to what's ahead!

Foiled Again!

Pastel M&Ms, rainbow jelly beans,

Marshmallow Peeps and Cadbury Cremes

Are straightforward candies with nothing to hide,

Genuine sweets with no will to misguide.

But that mystery chocolate all covered in foil?

All I can know is: it's not been hard boiled.

Is it milk chocolate? Caramel? So much in doubt!

I guess I'll just have to give in and find out...

Happy Easter candy time!

Three Little Words: So Much Snow!

Buried and bound under 6 feet of snow,

With temperatures flirting with 20 below,

I could shovel my car out, but I’d just as soon

Draw an oxpecker perched on a rhino cartoon.
