A Conversation

 

Yellow says to pink:

"you're a fizzy, happy drink."

Pink smiles at yellow:

"you're a cheery kind of fellow."

A Snail's Pace

There once was 

a little snail,

he got into trouble

and is now on bail.

He has a very

cunning plan -

to run from the law

as fast as he can.

A Five Star Review

Five reasons I'm giving Five Stars to:
The Rosalind Thorne Mysteries by Darcie Wilde.

1. The series - of historical mysteries starring,
you guessed it, Rosalind Thorne, has three
books so far, beginning with A Useful Woman.

2. The setting - the stories unfold during the regency
era, aka the Jane Austen years, and offer little
tidbits of history, without being too scholarly.

3. The Heroine - Rosalind is a lovely protagonist.

She is sometimes a little hesitant in matters of

the heart but always calm and resourceful

when it comes to detection.

4. The balance - the books do a fine job of balancing
the mysteries with Rosalind's rather complicated
personal history. They also make us appreciate the
many choices women have today.

5. To summarize - if you are in the market for a
light read with a well-crafted puzzle and a
likable set of characters, these could well be
the books for you.

A Bear on a Mission

A little bear has

set himself a mission -

he was going to climb

to the top of a cushion.

The dolls were concerned,

perhaps he should stop,

but the bear was going 

all the way to the top.

He packed his bag

with a drink and a snack

and hoped they would last

until he got back.

He bid farewell

to the dolls and the toad,

did a little warm-up

and hit the road.

After two minutes

the bear had enough;

I'll say this for the dolls -

they tried not to laugh.

Corona Bear

I went outside

it was so much fun,

I was very careful

didn't see anyone.

Now I am home

and wondering when,

I can find a good reason

to go out again.

I'm being good, staying home.

The Deep Thinker

I like to fill my head with thoughts - 

big, complex and deep;

I think about them all day long, 

at night I cannot sleep.

I'm pretty sure that if I keep 

going down this road,

at any moment now

my head will just explode

A Nice Day Out

Said spring to winter:

"cheer up, you gloomy fellow,"

Answered winter to spring:

"you're a sunny cup of jello."

before going into isolation.

Wishing you all great health

and all good things.
