Crafting poetry on this sunny morn,

Composing rhymes sent straight from Heaven.

Spotting the date, I quietly chuckle,

For today is double-0 seven…

Member of the group since 1984,

Cliché, but surely time flies.

Went to a meeting the other month,

Since when am I one of the “Old Guys?”

It was love at first sight,

Everyone knows how that goes.

Sammy, purring in my arms, looks up

And tenderly licks my nose.

Working in an industrial park,

Is a fine place to make a buck.

But although “park” is in its name,

There is never an ice cream truck.

Huzzah the Summer Solstice!

On the BBQ, I call dibs.

It was also my Mother’s birthday,

So to celebrate, we had ribs!

I love the scent of flowers,

While sitting in the shade.

No two ways about it,

Ferdinand had it made.

I love to ponder the daffodils,

And filling coconuts with limes.

But this having to work every single day,

Is interfering with my rhymes!

The momentous day had finally arrived,

When my son decided to leave the nest.

If you think I’m lonely, don’t worry, I’m not.

Because Sammy always loved me best!

The day is fast approaching,

Thought I’d scream and shout.

Instead it seems, I’m slightly sad

That my son is moving out!

05/26/2017

Sitting outside, I feel something burning,

Hot like the launching of a rocket.

Reaching down and feeling around,

The sun heated up the keys in my pocket!
