A THURSDAY RUSH

A THURSDAY RUSH

arose from bed this morning at the wife’s clarion call…

the Home Health aide would soon arrive…

actually, a nurse and a student nurse came in,

I escaped , out-numbered, to survive!

in the common room one see’s the hordes descend,

health providers flow into the breach….

working out health plans designed with intent

maximizing life and health for each.

now my wife, two nurses and her aide can entertain,

while I will ply my trade nearly alone…

but for Joanne and the neighbors who pass by

working in the common spaces here at home!

EARLY MORNING SENTRY

EARLY MORNING SENTRY

Monday morning, early,

I wait around in hope

That Eric shows up soon

To end my weekend mope.

‘Cause I am filled to the brim

With riddles and with rhymes…

Enough to post a number of

Products from our times.

I have no internet at home,

So I wait on common ground

For the cabinet to ope’

And creativity be unbound.

I hear his coming in the door

As familiar voices ring

Out in the morning mist…

And he opens up the thing!
