IN CONTEMPLATION…
She sat there in the overstuffed,
Her cup balanced on her knee…
She stared outside the window wide
Resting comfortably.
–
Eyes half-closed, I did not seek
To disturb her revelry…
But softly moved out of sight,
And merely let her be.
–Jonathan Caswell
OUT OF SIGHT, OUT OF MIND
The Poet (we all know whom)
Came to work, we can assume…
Finding a young thing
Making his heart sing,
A special reason to groom?
–
He felt like the time to write,
So positioned himself out of sight…
By not looking
His writing was cooking
Without distractions of delight.
–Jonathan Caswell
THE BUTT END
(lyrics)
Found the butt end of a pound cake…
The butt end of a pound cake…
Found the butt end of a pound cake…
It’s not going to last the night!
–
I’m not going to share it…
I’m not going to share it…
I’m not going to share it…
But I found a plastic knife.
–
It was so buttery tasting…
It was so buttery tasting…
It was so buttery tasting…
The best in all my life.
–
I’m going to throw the box away…
I’m going to throw the box away…
I’m going to throw the box away…
The pound cake’s out of sight!
–Jonathan Caswell
JEHOVAH JIREH JINGLING!
Recently wrote a Requiem,
For a dead and buried Friend…
Subsequent to that
Acted like a brat,
Sarcastic and angry to tend…!
–
Today while at a doctor visit,
A glimmer of hope exquisite…
My wife was told
Of a black one year old,
“Cuddle-bug” cat needing a new home–are we’s it?
–
Seeing a photo of the cat,
He’s cute and furry and all that….
Delivered with all his shots
Has a neutering been already got?
–
Perhaps by New Year’s Day
The kitty cat can come and stay…
Sooner won’t unravel
Our desire to travel,
He rides real good…so they say.
–
Another blessing came to light
This afternoon from nowhere in sight…
Di. got a phone call
So that it befalls,
To fix her special floor lamp (which didn’t work) just right!
–
Praise God for His Bountiful Good
For His people, to be understood…
Accordingly grace
Proceeds apace,
From the sacrifice of Christ’s blood!
–Jonathan Caswell
