https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/scotcanada2911/Some poetry written down. It's always in my head. And I know it's old fashioned, but I like to rhyme. Trying not to! We'll see. hourly12000-01-01T12:00+00:00https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/scotcanada2911/600550My desk is a mess Half finished projects abound. Just how I like it! Mounds of fresh laundry Lie piled in the laundry room. Easy to find stuff! When I'm watching weight My mate eats my healthy stuff On TOP of his crap!https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/scotcanada2911/600295I'm trying to trace my family tree, It's proving quite difficult to be. I have dates and names, But it's like a game, To untangle who begat whom correctly. The time-honored habit of using, The same Christian names is amusing, Until birth and death dates, Get mixed up, and mates Seem to marry...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/scotcanada2911/599549Spring brings out black snow. Filthy slush at roadside lies. Pale white folks appear. Everything I eat, Reminds me I must eat less. Or exercise more. I have been assigned To map out our fam'ly tree. Hmmm. Where are the shears?https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/scotcanada2911/599376You know, I'm very much ashamed That those poor women I have blamed. I'm every bit as bad, it's true, Because I called them down, to you. I know eavesdropping is so rude, They say you'll not hear something good, If you decide to listen in. And to repeat it is a sin. So crow for supper I will eat,...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/scotcanada2911/599170Ladies-- PLEASE! At the Coffee Shop today, I tried to keep my smirk at bay, As I heard old ladies grumble About a man, so meek and humble Who’d just come in to get a bite Which is his God given right! “He boldly comes in here each day. What a way to waste his pay. He was here last night at nine,...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/scotcanada2911/599057Part 6. The second tragedy which affected my childhood home. The next dreadful story My Dad whispered low Started off well enough With a newlywed glow. A young couple moved in In Nineteen Eleven And felt they had purchased Their own private heaven. They’d happily moved in, But soon they were...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/scotcanada2911/598901It makes me so MAD that my dishes Multiply like the "Loaves and the Fishes." I've tried incanting spells Boiled newts, rattled shells. But nothing has come of my wishes!https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/scotcanada2911/598545( Clean limericks are known to be boring-- but--oh well!) My dog has a fear of my grooming And this has resulted in dooming Those leaving my flat To emerge with a matte At which they are slapping whilst fuming!https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/scotcanada2911/598344The store has a sale. I need all kinds of items. Sharp elbows win out.https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/scotcanada2911/598343As Spring approaches Nature prepares to expand. But I must shrink down.
