Ring-ring,
there it goes again.
Ring-ring,
phone call number ten.
Ring-ring,
for sis, mom or dad?
Ring-ring,
that sound makes me sad.
Ring-ring,
I want it to be...
Ring-ring,
...a call for me.

My Dumb Phone
With
my dumb phone
I
can call,
and
send texts,
but
that is all.
My
ancient phone
has
no data plan.
Of
4G networks,
I’m
not a fan.
No
GPS,
I
use a map.
Instead
of music,
I
hum and clap.
No
calendar,
I’m
fashionably late.
Don’t
need video,
memory’s
still great.
I
prefer
my
dumb phone,
‘cause
my info
stays
all my own.

Mood Improved
Off to school,
the morning's cool.
Sleepy eyed,
I shuffle-slide.
Reluctant to go,
I move slow.
When I arrive
I revive.
Friends are there
ready to share.
Cupcake for me -
good day it'll be.

In Praise of President's Day
Two great men,
Washington and Lincoln,
gave us this holiday -
somebody was thinkin'!

Sock Song
I've got one sock,
looking for another.
I've got one sock,
looking for its brother.
And when I find that sock,
I'll tell you what I'll do.
I'll put it on my foot
and stick it in my shoe!

DMV Distress
Waiting on hard chairs
for our turn at the window.
Bored out of our minds,
we're stuck in limbo.
(This is where my husband, daughter and I are spending Valentine's Day :o)

Happy Birthday, Joe!
He is the funniest
man I know.
And smartest and kindest -
he's my Joe.
Another year older
is my handsome beau.
Extinguishing his candles
will take a mighty blow.

Behind the camera,
Mom directs then clicks.
Getting us to smile
is one of her tricks.

Sick Day Sunday
Sicky day
Snoozy day
Lay about and feel woozy day
Yucky day
Puky day
Can't wait to stop feeling this way

Terrific Tattered Teddy
My teddy is not new,
but he feels just right.
One eye is missing,
a button's sewed on tight.
Teddy's fur is thread bare,
his paw-toe is stitched up.
Nothing's better than
Teddy all loved up!

Bad Day Rebound
I had a really bad day,
everything went wrong.
First I missed the bus
because I showered too long.
Then I forgot my homework
and got gum on my shoe.
My experiment blew up
all over my lab partner, Stu.
Finally this rotten day is over
and I am home with you.
Knowing you're here for me
helps me face tomorrow anew.

Creatures Beware
Pup guards
with a stare.
What's going on
out there?
Movement,
Bark!
Creatures
in the dark.

I Do My To-Do Do Do
My to do list
keeps me on the
go, go, go.
I have to get stuff
done so I don't go
slow, slow, slow.
For my homework
assignments I have to
read, read, read.
For my craft
projects I have to
bead, bead, bead.
For my piano
lesson I have to
play, play, play.
I am so tired I wish
for the end of the
day, day, day.
I want to
have nothing to
do, do, do.
Uh-oh, my
to-do list just
grew, grew, grew.
Contemplating a Groundhog's Wisdom
Is a groundhog
part pig
and
part dirt?
Or just a
dirty pig?
If there is a
groundhog,
is there a
skyhog
or a
waterhog?
And what does
an animal
who spends its life
underground
know about
the coming of
spring?
Just saying...
