Snack Attack

While traveling we were in the mood

To stop and get some sort of food.

But my wallet was stuck and our budget was tight.

My wife said, “We’ll just dine a mite.”

Flight Training (A true story)

The Army said, “You need to fly.”

I said, “I’ll give it my best try.”

But my very first lesson in the air

Ended in some disrepair.

I thought my flying fate was sealed

I didn’t know how to get back to the field.

A Sweet Tale

In north Vermont I turned the tap,

And what came out was maple sap.

It is a very pleasant drink,

But it makes for a sticky bath, I think.

Time Out

Looking for something to entertain

He sat in the chair and strained his brain.

His brother said, “If I could choose,

I’d sit in yonder corner and muse.”

So off to yonder corner he went,

But he did not know just what a muse meant.

Nook Nook

I have a cozy little nook

Where I can sit and read a book,

Solve the crime and catch the crook,

Fly away to outer space,

Or go on earth to any place.

Today when I went to my nook,

I took my new electric book.

It has a small but tough glass screen

Where words and pictures may be seen.

It’s black and read and very thin,

But often needs to be plugged in.
If there is but a partial charge

The time for reading is not large.

I read today about an hour,

Then I had to go and look for power.

Eye on the Prize

To complete the task and win the prize

They looked for a part the proper size.

After no success, they did surmise,

“We are going to have to improve eyes.”
