Let Them Eat Cookie

 

I put my cookies in a jar,
I put the jar in my car,
I drove the car very far,
and parked it under a star.

I spoke a moment on my phone,
and found the jar bare to the bone,
it seems the cookies have all flown,
I shouldn't have left them all alone.

darling my nephews.

Taking a Moment

 

Sometimes doing nothing,
just lying in the sun,
without deeds or thoughts,
can be kind of fun.

is taking a moment.

Simply Spring


The garden's in chaos,
things are quite bad
and Spring slumbers on
snoring like mad.

A snail hurries over
and gives Spring a shake,
planning, if needed
to bribe him with cake.

"Wake up, wake up
you have to see reason -
Winter is leaving
and we don't have a season!"

Spring jumps and mutters:
"Sorry! Sorry my dear,
nobody told me
I'm on early this year."

Mission Impossible


A little bear has 
set himself a mission - 
he is going to climb
to the top of a cushion.

The dolls are concerned,
perhaps he should stop
but the bear is going
all the way to the top.

I made for my SIL Ella.

French Cheese


 We opened the window
to let in the breeze
and immediately felt
the censure of trees - 

Even fresh air
cannot, with ease,
battle the odor of
a good French cheese.

Small Things Make a Life


A seed to sow
A place to go
A walk to take
Something to make,
A life.


A seed to sow - 
Working on my autumn veggie garden.
A place to go - 
Planning for happier days.
A walk to take -
A favorite again now that the weather is cooler.
Something to make -
Made these napkin holders for the table 
from recycled paper rolls.
Life. So precious.

Round Like a Ball


I remember
when I was small,
I thought it so nice
to be a ball.

All you do is
play the whole day,
and if you're not happy
you just roll away.


Featured: I made this board game
for my soccer-obssessed nephew.
And yes, the cards all rhyme.
