A little after five he awakened,
Emails he had to be making…
C-pap supplies
Before his die,
But no connections he’s making!
(Even at the website!)

PEBBLE PETER AND OTHER STORIES
PEBBLE PETER AND OTHER STORIES
–
Remember Peter the Pebble*
Who never spoke in treble…
Whose heart was base
Til Jesus faced
Him and changed Peter into new metal!
–
Paul, 1st Century ground-pounder,
Took it seriously not to flounder…
Barnabas and he
Might have to flee,
Returning when control was sounder!
–
The Apostles traditionally
Took God’s Word internationally…
Jerusalem and out
Evangelists stout,
Struggled to set people free.
—Jonathan Caswell
* Refers to “Peter the Pebble,” a poem in the author’s book, SPIRIT-LED LIMERICKS AND OTHER CHRISTIAN POETRY, available at amazon.com and elsewhere!
ON AGING…THE SERIES?
ON AGING—THE SERIES?
–
He gets up at six or five,
A part of being alive…
He’ll achieve
The effort to breathe,
Before into bed again dive!
–
Watching Saturday westerns,
Roy Rodgers, black-and-white veterans…
The bad and good
Were understood,
Reality wasn’t mentioned.
–
To us kids it was a lark,
Playing cowboys in the park…
Older now
I realize how
Judgment and characters start.
–
Old Roy didn’t have street smarts
Unless they were hidden arts…
Few complications
In situations,
With singing before we.d part!
–
Up at the crack of dawn,
How long will this go on…
Til the hand finally slips
And loses its grips,
Then the one who grew up is gone!

MORE PENTATETTE GOODIES!
That Vicodin sure is narcotic,
Prescribed for pain chaotic…
That ten-out-or-ten
Pain level’s when
The patient gets almost psychotic!
–J.E.C.
(“J.E.C.” is short for Jonathan E. Caswell)
–
I’ve read a book by Crighton
The plot of which tended to frighten…
Adromeda strain
Bleeds out the brain,
Bacteria put the bite on!
–J.E.C.
A MINOR PROBLEM
A MINOR PROBLEM
Our car at the start needed jumping,
A let-down worthy of grumping…
A friend got us going
My cables bestowing
The start of really something!

LIMERICK’S VIEW ON A SONNET
LIMERICK’S VIEW ON A SONNET
Sonnet writing, one participates,
In intellectually tempting fates…
Are those fourteen lines
Worth all that time,
When all the guy wants are a few dates?
–Jonathan Caswell
THUNDER BOOMER
THUNDER BOOMER
Dark clouds threaten rain,
Thunder booms its refrain…
Windiness wipes
Away the gripes,
Precipitation as deigned!
–Jonathan Caswell
GRIZZLY WHOM?
GRIZZLY WHOM?
Discontent to stay at Madame’s,
He rambled on various macadams…
Unshaven in church
On a pew he’d perch,
They called him Grizzly Adams!*
–Jonathan Caswell
* Grizzly Adams…no relation to that famous character, other than in appearance!
TEA–NOT COFFEE!
TEA–NOT COFFEE!
I am the Cold Coffee King,
The finest in self-hydrating…
When 3rd shift has tea
There’s none left for me,
It’s a walk to the nearest clean spring!*
–Jonathan Caswell
* clean spring…there are filtered water dispensers nearby, down the hallway in both directions a piece.
