FUR-BRAINED FELINES
You Tube compilations
Of cat concentrations…
Mirrors and jumps
And into bath dumps,
Expose tintinnabulations!

END-OF-DAY HAIKU
END-OF-DAY HAIKU

Forecast warm, sunny,
Workplace: energized hub-bub…
Hallways empty fast!

PAIN-STABBED PIGGIES
PAIN-STABBED PIGGIES
Up at this hour to foil
Pain with aromatic oil…
In between piggies
Sharp ones and biggies,
Throbbing but not from toil.
–
Putting it on in the dark,
I feel it drip down to park…
On the other leg,
I sure would beg
It to stay where put, though in the dark.
–
As pain slowly fades away
Took insulin early today…
At four AM
I’ll say an amen
If this pain goes away!

STIR NOT UP LOVE OUT OF ITS TIME
STIR NOT UP LOVE OUT OF ITS TIME!
(Opinion, based upon Song of Songs 2:7)
Song of Solomon two: seven,
Reminding of the right time for heaven…
Out of context
Is frustrating sex,
Add reason to loaves with leaven.
–
Sing and dance while you’re young,
Older folks, more foolishly done…
Appointed seasons
Make good reasons
Accepting you are also-run!
–
Pressure without outlet
Just how stupid we get…
Romance out of time
Invites inner grime
When we are told, “NYET!”.
–Jonathan Caswell
SOME PENTATETTE SUBMISSIONS:
SOME PENTATETTE SUBMISSIONS:
I submitted limericks to THE PENTATETTE** for several years. These are just a few.
It’s raining and snowing together,
The perfect Worcester (Mass.) weather…
But here’s the trick,
It better not stick
With cars driving hell-for-leather!

Blogging of a starlet’s spiral
Downwardly took off viral…
What is stank,
She laughs to the bank
Not caring her story’s hirel.
–J.E.C.

I once had red hair you see,
But grey, black and bald’s left to me…
My prejudice arose
‘Gainst the men I suppose,
Because anger for me was easy!
–J.E.C.

In October his Mom died of cancer,
After all this time there’s no answer…
Why he’s not cried
But deep inside
The issue takes more than a glance, sir.
–J.E.C.

He once knew a family from Douglas
Whose home was practically bug-less…
They sprayed lots of mist
With chemical fist,
Poisoned the dog and went pugless!
–J.E.C.

A NEW SERIES !
A NEW SERIES!
A bucket list author assured
Himself that his work endured…
Did awful in sales
But he prevails
By putting pieces out as lures!
–Jonathan Caswell
I had me a book manuscript nearly ( ? ) completed…and suddenly decided not to publish, at least not at that publisher, as nice as the new staff . Maybe I will send it to them but not just now.

ON THE RECEIVING END,
by Jonathan Caswell
–
SO…on this blog, BY THE MIGHTY MUMFORD and my other blog, THE MARVELOUS MUMFORD–and maybe some teasers at OUR POETRY CORNER–I’ll be posting poetry from the alleged book until I figure out where and how to formally publish it–if at all. 🙂
–
THE BOOK…is about my recent experience over the last six months or so, damaging, ignoring, losing two toes on my right foot by amputation, rehab. and recovery. The basic premise–with other observations added–is to look at how difficult doctors, caretakers and such like me ( ! ) make such terrible patients, when it’s our turn to be cared for!
–
Other bloggers use some titles repeatedly as categories. Each of mine here are what I plan to use in the book, which is, as you know, semi-autobiographical. These subtitles will be (in this series):
READY…AIM…FIRE!
(Who makes poor patients and maybe why?)
THE HEALERS
(Nurses, therapist, aides from hospital, rehabilitation and home care I’ve known)
–
REHAB RUMINATIONS
–
FOOD FOR THOUGHT
(Various related issues of interest)

THE END OF THE MATTER?
FANCY FILLY FINANCING…LYRICS
FANCY FILLY FINANCING
(new lyrics to: GRANDMA’S IN THE CELLAR)
I-rish I had a shilling
For redheads unwilling
To give me even the time of day…
For many the lass
Who this poor boy will pass
Refusing to go e’en part of the way!
–
Chasing gold
Gets old
When the end of rainbows run away…
The finest Irish girls
Using me for finger twirls
Then finding another man with which to stay.
–
A guy just off the boat
Decided to devote
Energies to take away my Carol girl…
This Irish boy called George
Deepened the gorge
By taking Carol out for a whirl.
–
Spoke a line,
Spent his dime
To steal away my only first girlfriend…
Held back a grade he was mature
Making his girl conquest sure,
I barely saw her ’til the school year’s end!
–Jonathan Caswell
