Is that a cowl neck I see,
This sweater fits her to a “T”…
A classy belt
Accentuates her svelt
Portions, lovely to see!
–
This sweater—a camel cream?
Allied with a pencil dress dream…
Opposites attract
Results here distract,
As a wonderfully well-designed scheme.
–
An business woman ideal,
Her male colleagues—take a chill–
Notebook at her side
Sunglasses hide,
Reactions to compliment overkill.

❤ MY LOVE FOR LADY BLOGGERS ❤
–
Avowed love of lady bloggers,
Hard-working creative bloggers…
I love thee all
For me you stand tall,
Driving us romantics bonkers! 🙂
–
Some of you are very fetching,
Appearance not all that’s catching…
The mind and heart–
Thy very art–
Draweth me to your fine meshings!
–
By word and artistic guile,
You make this creative man smile…
Cry and laugh
On your behalf,
Each in a wonderful style.
–
Long distance hugs the rule
In this community cool….
Cool in attitude
To not be rude,
Suggesting of anything cruel.
–
Group hugs all around,
My love to all of you found….
In likes and raves
From this former knave,
Who likes in whose company he’s found!
😀

WE GIVE OUR MAKER PRAISE
–
We give our Maker praise
For all sorts of cloud and haze…
He wraps Himself proud
With myriad dark cloud,
We call Him the Ancient of Days!
–
All that with breath rejoice,
God made Man His CHOICE…
Of being able
To choose God’s table,
Or favor and love to lose.
–
God wants with you to walk.
And not folk who just talk the talk…
Will you agree
His child to be,
Or for eternity balk?

HIGHER SPEED RAIL
(To tune of “THE YELLOW ROSE OF TEXAS”)
–
Been working on the N scale
Whenever I’ve found time,
Rebuilding older trackage
So electrics will work fine…
Putting in curved turnouts
Simulating former speed,
My truncated mainline
Once hosted iron steeds!
–
The story goes that this was once
A high-speed mainline,
Alas, this part of the railroad is
In serious decline…
A few banked curves remain to
Remind us what once was,
The rest of the roadbed
Like that economy, went bust.
–
But renewing hope is out there
My imaginary line,
Hosts a tourist train
Which looks like it does fine…
A collection of Rail Diesel Cars–
Steam engines have a few–
An array of passenger train cars,
Restoration still to do!
–
When rebuilding’s finished
(It’s going to run this time),
They’ll have a ceremony
So get yourself in line…
Cooking for a grand shindig
The restaurants in town,
Will serve the finest dishes
With MOXIE passed around!
They’ll serve their finest cuisine
So chug that MOXIE down!!!!

FASHION PERSONIFIED
–
Janet and I were talking,
While Joanne was walking
Out to see
Little Gracie,
While I did the usual gawking.
–
“Joanne,” said Janet kindly,
“Your suit looks wonderfully…
“Matched in all parts
Your clothing arts,
You’re always a joy to see.”
–
I easily agreed too,
Joanne know what to do…
Fashion embodiment
By separates’ statement
Of talent with green and blue!
–
Things independently
Bought are artfully…
Brought together
A visual treasure,
Pleasing to all who see! 🙂

WHY ARE FASHION BLOGGERS SO YOUNG?
–
Young women it seems to me’
Blog fashion plentifully,
Is most fashion sold
Aimed not at the old,
What’s the answer to this mystery?
–
Older models fill the pages
Of magazines for wages…
Is it that the young
Find it more fun,
To model for their own ages?
–
Whatever, I’m glad they are there,
E’en though I don’t have their hair (!)…
New fashions may
Come my wife’s way,
Which shows her that I care!

ON AGING
–
Gradually changing to be
From caregiver to “care-for-me”…
Independence fails
As the subject flails,
Struggling for quality.
–
Working in nursing homes
Keeps folks from being alone…
One has to harden
Then, not pardon
The frequent unending drone.
–
Folks who can still be kind
In the face of that sort of grind…
Have my vote
As folks with a Coat
Of Arms—of a gentle mind!”
–
In Rehab, I took time
To relate to those inclined…
Demential cases
Haven’t solid bases
But deep memory refined.
–
Will I end up like them,
Both Mom and Dad feared it back then…
Would have been kinder
For Dad without reminder
Of all he’d lost…and when.
–
So we’ll take it day-by-say,
In fact there’s no other way…
To not worry
Or to curry
Pity by obnoxious display!

JUST A…little…JEALOUS!
I’m mostly happy here,
Writing my poetry mere…
But sometimes fellas
I’m a little jealous
Ignored by those “out there.”
–
Not like I don’t have friends,
Nor gen’rally mercenary ends…
But comments were closed
When I disclosed:
Where were you when I’m on, my friends?
–
Go on and cut the rug,
You know I’m going to plug…
On my way
As I do each day,
Content with an occasional shrug.

AUTHOR’S NOTE: Thank God for my faithful friends! On this blog you receive their posts, my posts…and me…!
FUR-BRAINED FELINES
You Tube compilations
Of cat concentrations…
Mirrors and jumps
And into bath dumps,
Expose tintinnabulations!
