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.”

Stock Market

It doesn’t take a real magician

To put you in a bad position.

When you make an acquisition,

It only takes one bad decision.

Bedtime Story

My night stand top is much too small.

I can scarcely see my clock at all.

It’s behind my water, lamp and phone,

Two remotes and a book I own.

And now there is another issue:

I need some space for a box of tissue.
