INCOMING…! (SNOW?)

Lines cross the CCTV

What kind can it be…

All looks the same

Whether snow or rain,

I’ll have to go out and see!

CAMERA SEES!

CAMERA SEES!

(to tune of “Animal Crackers in My Soup”)

Dribbled all over, hot dog juice,

Through a hole in the package loose,

Making a mess that folks can see

Looking at the camera pointed at me!

Cleaning it up with a napkin spare,

Hoping no one will look down there…

Got my lunch assembled now,

Hoping no one calls me a cow!

NEEDLES ON CAMERA

NEEDLES ON CAMERA

My supper insulin

Is necessarily taken..

Sitting at the desk

In full view I guess,

Of whomever wants to look in.

There is a camera too,

So that I am in full view…

Most folks I show

Already know

My need for the needle cue.

Problem is–I’ve been skipping–

And over self-neglect been tripping…

My results are skewed

When doctor-reviewed,

They’d rather my blood sugars dipping.

It’s back, as always, to me,

Doing what is necessary…

Wanting to do

For the sake of me too,

A healthy fait de compli.

CAT CAUGHT ON CAMERA

CAT CAUGHT ON CAMERA

 

A ginger tabby cat

Was caught on camera that….

Seemed destined to seek

A morsel of “squeak”,

A mouse…juicy and fat.

While cat was doing its thing,

Could hear the harassing red wing…

Who kept on cat-tail

And would not fail,

To go on alarming.

Said cat moved out of my view,

I had other things to do, too..

Would he jump the fence

And travel on hence,

Or turn the way he came and skidoo?
