Granny fills cans with pickled treats
From carrots, cucumbers, and beets
But while drinking her fifth beer
To toast a good canning year
Preserved turnips in whiskey neat
On Christmas Eve she gave me one big jar
Of turnips in whiskey and a cigar
It turned all my poop pink
And pushed me to the brink
So Christmas morning is in the ER
Chubby grey blobs with squinty eyes
Floating and munching through the day
Giant potatoes in disguise
Enjoying a seagrass buffet
A giant $10 Dagwood sandwich from Safeway
Makes for a pretty crummy date
Eat it end to end like Lady and the Tramp
Then watch movies at a cheap rate
This is still one of my favorite dates with my husband. ❤
Sitting on my couch
Mind is really blank
I should do a plank
Body in max slouch
I do no exercise
I want to go to bed
But coconuts arise
Inside my sleepy head
Bushy little tails
Scurry up the tree
With sharp teeny nails
They’re laughing at me
Eating all the new plants
Oh lord the ant poison’s gone
I swear they’d steal my pants
I’ll never have a nice lawn
I’m trying to use a free drawing tool to sketch my first cartoon. It looks like crap. I had to laugh because I can’t figure out how to draw a circle for the eyes – they keep looking like Pac-Mans (Pac-Men???). Oh well. It’s going to be interesting to see how my skill with this drawing tool evolves. By the way, the thing at the bottom is soap with some bubbles.
Standing on his soap box
Booming words of hate
At the public crosswalks
As the people wait
Turn the box upside down
Wash his mouth with soap
Push this creep out of town
Bring back words of hope
But twenty feet to the right
A rainbow flag flies proud
Happy music here to fight
Baby Shark be loud
Background: There’s a very awful, homophobic, loud, disruptive man who stands on top of a crate at a busy corner of Whyte Avenue in Edmonton, yelling hateful messages through a megaphone. However, a group of LGBTQ supporters set up pride flags and upbeat music nearby, and Baby Shark tunes overpowered the other gibberish. It was awesome. 🙂
P.S. please let me know the terms or abbreviations to use if LGBTQ is incorrect.
