ESTHER LING–IS THIS REALLY YOU?

A painting of “ESTHER LING,”

Indeed is it the real thing…?

The one we loved

And her blog, white doved,

Or is it just a representative thing?

HAS IT BEEN THIS LONG?

Practice in city driving

Thankful sufficient timing…

Route memory

Made it easy,

Without my wife’s reminding!

–Jonathan Caswell

 

 

GREAT WEEKEND NEWS!

THE COFFEE MACHINE..is working,

An engineer left, smirking…

I used to drink

Two potfuls I think,

An empty machine is irking!

–Jonathan Caswell

HOPE HE LIKES ALCO LOCOMOTIVES!

A solitary man

On the turntable span…

He’s not Security

We know with certainty,

He’d be inside on his can!

Apologies to all security guards…including me!

–Jonathan Caswell

 

TAKING ADVANTAGE…!

Advantages of frigid weather,

Doing food shopping all together…

Cold things won’t thaw–

It’s below zero after all—

So simple it’s not even clever!

–Jonathan Caswell

 

THE MOUSE IN A THIMBLE

A mouse in a thimble he saw

On a fine lady of awe…

He noticed the pin

On the sweater she was in,

Complimenting her for the pin he saw!

–Jonathan Caswell

 

MORE COMPLICATIONS!

Went to my fave magazine,

Website for the video stream…

What they labeled “FREE”

Was just introductory

To the pay-to-view portions–that’s mean!

–Jonathan Caswell

 

BLOGGING LIVE!!!!

Unprepared for the day,

Given opportunity to “play”…

My spirit thrives

In cannonball dives,

Can’t let this get away!

–Jonathan Caswell

 

MISTY HARD RAINS

He’s not a weather wimp,

But has a leg somewhat gimp…

Wet and cold

Makes him feel old,

More wrinkled than a chimp!

–J.E.C.

A FLASH—then rumbling thunder—

What a mess to be under…

Taken in stride

We all can be dried,

Enjoying this storm as a wonder!

–J.E.C.

With weather all over like this,

We note peoples’ special kindness…

Willingly give

That others  live,

Angels in times of distress!

–J.E.C.

“Darkness over the waters,”

Standard Time—hear the mutters—

Walk toward Light

To see what’s right,

Believe and see what matters!

–J.E.C.
