Any time before twelve,
He could call on his cell…
On his way
Or getting up late,
Then I know all is well!
–
Sometimes nearer One AM,
I get out, relieved by my friend…
Sometimes homework
For his daughter lurks,
To do before his shift’s end.

Here at work the gardens
Look fine while the soil hardens…
In cold air
The mums are fair,
The rest of the plants reach their life margins.

–J.E.C.
Buy a pizza with cheese,
Which varieties…
Of crust and sauce,
Cooking time, cost
Does your palette please?
–
Cheese should be soft and gooey,
Stretching out while chewing…
White not all brown–
Mildest sauce in town–
No peppers causing taste bud “kablooey”.
–
The pizza’s harder to chew,
Colder but the spices come through…
The wife may not like–
Spices do spike–
She always warms hers up too!

Listing his various loves,
And hair color of former doves…
He found these three
Most frequently,
Were treated with softer gloves.
–
For blondes he’ll often fall,
One nearly got it all…
A job wasn’t found
And he ran aground,
Someone else got her all!
–
A brunette is who he married,
And whose torch he’s carried…
For reds he’ll fall
And dream it all,
The brunette is glad he tarried!

COFFEE TIME
–
Nodding off at his beginning,
Between times of greeting and grinning…
He held off until
He was far too still
And resolve to stay awake was thinning.
–
It took maybe three or four tries
To turn the thing on (poor eyes)…
The maker on floor
Made it a chore,
Which button to push—SURPRISE!!!!
–
This blend was very strong
Four scoops of coffee got along…
Without milk–ICK,
But one won’t be sick,
By quitting time, you’re going strong!
–Jonathan Caswell
MARRIAGE COMMUNICATION??
–
She claimed they discussed it Saturday,
He doesn’t remember that way…
So Monday’s surprise
Hit between his eyes,
It got done….anyway!

GETTING CLEANED UP
–
Happy to pay the Electric
Me and the wife squared away….
Whether or not I needed,
Got a haircut and shower today!
–
Shaved my chin and the back of my neck,
All of the grey hair is gone…
At least for a moment I’m younger-looking,
I’m singing a happier song!
–Jonathan Caswell
A WISH TO BE HER FRIEND
–
The two guards tried to not gawk
As she glided down the walk…
With her befriended
Both would be contented,
It wasn’t a consummation sought.
–
I wished I’d told the guys
For years on end male eyes…
Had considered and cried
For what was denied,
(The cameras are spies!).
–
It’s not known by everyone
But this beauty has a grown son…
If her English were better
Someone would have met her,
(Is her boyfriend the only one?).
–Jonathan Caswell
–
I WISH I WERE AT THE BEACH!
(GOOGLE IMAGES)
The eyes have it at the beach,
Beauty just out of reach…
No spyglasses needed
For wiring exceeded
Overloadis worth every peach!
–
You see one-pieces look fine
Without going over the line…
Bikinis are crime
At sunburn time,
I like the one-piece kind!
–Jonathan Caswell
MAYBE…IT’S IN THE AIR-?
–
Crossed wires are mine today,
Communication that got away…
Thinking ice cream
Instead of steak wasn’t keen,
Forked tongue was ready to play!
–
With Binghamton on the brain
I should know to restrain…
Remember grilled meat
Is still cool to eat
If one lets those juices drain.
–
Carissa, I’m sorry I blew it,
Forgot I was to chew it…
Choking on meat
Is hardly a treat,
But like ice cream I enjoy getting through it!
–Jonathan Caswell
