When I Was Younger
Bitter winds as the rain pounds down,
A dark and gloomy day.
What say we grab the football, guys,
And go outside to play?

Just Not Satisfying
Younger me dreamed of meals,
Made from ice cream, candy and cake.
But I’ve discovered as a grownup,
That just chips does not a dinner make.

Shorthand?
Dreamed of dining on smoked pork chops,
Couldn’t wait to have them on my fork.
Stopping at the butcher shop to pick some up,
The only word I could utter was “Smork!”

That’ll Do
Life is naught but existential angst,
Is there purpose, how could there be?
Sammy leaps on my belly, boops my nose,
Saying, “You’re here to take care of me.”

Tricks and Treats
Over one hundred degrees this week,
Which feels darn near obscene.
The Dog Days of Summer can take a hike,
Bring on the Cool Cat Nights of Halloween!

Pre-Game Situation
On my way back from the kitchen,
I was not prepared to wrestle.
Sammy had breeched the snack table,
Licking the salt off my giant pretzel!

Glad We’re Indoors
In the dark of night,
Beneath the pounding rain.
Sammy snuggles up close,
With her purring refrain.

Sammy was a Bit Short
As this month draws to a close,
Gotta pay rent on the old duplex.
It’s not that I mind paying my bills,
Just wish they’d quit cashing the checks.
