The day is fast approaching,

Thought I’d scream and shout.

Instead it seems, I’m slightly sad

That my son is moving out!

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!

The weekend approaches, we must make plans,

A field where we can picnic and frolick.

And maybe, if things might go my way,

Back home, perhaps to gleefully mollock?

Of the many books that have come into my life,

Only one, I consider the best on paper.

It came to me when I was very young,

Its title? “Batman – The Cheetah Caper!”

When I need a break from this hectic world,

I like sit and read.

Whether in my chair or in the woods,

It’s good, my brain to feed.

Ninety degrees and using a fan at home,

You just have to know how to position her.

I’ve made it through April for the very first time,

Still not using that dang air conditioner!

When drinking, one should really know better,

You’re all alone, feeling like nothing belongs.

That you shouldn’t be up until 3 AM,

Listening to albums of very sad songs.

As a young man, to impress the ladies,

I mastered many tricks.

The most successful of them all,

Eating M&M’s, only using chopsticks.

To those who loved and lived in nature,

Like Marlin Perkins and old Euell Gibbons,

Bet they never witnessed wildlife quite as fierce

As Sammy chasing ribbons.

Birds are singing, the sun is peeking,

Windows are open for the sweet, cool breeze.

I’m lying in bed with a purring kitten, thinking

Sunday mornings are made for these…
