Visions, like chalk on a blank slate
Smudged and smeared, patterns
Forming pictures, erased and retraced
Breathing life into empty spaces
That lay naked, unconcealed
Like a facade, to pretty them up
Window-dressings for my thoughts

Who am I inside this shell?
Confusion sparks a living hell
Four of me, what’s the chance
I’m stuck inside a circumstance
Not quite sure what happens next
So much of me is so complex
Ready to run from a turbulent past
Stopping and standing, brave and steadfast
Falling to my knees, head in my hand
Seeking the answers I don’t understand
Hoping to find how to rid this unrest
Conquering the disturbance is now my life’s quest

I cannot take credit for this. This little ditty has been around for ages and still makes me laugh. Hope it gave you a smile, too. Now stop hogging the wine and pass it over here! 🙂

The holiday season is here
Everyone’s filled with good cheer
But I have this cold, or so I’ve been told
Maybe you shouldn’t come near
People are shopping like crazy
I shop online, ‘cause I’m lazy
But the doctor affirms, I picked up some germs
Now everything seems a bit hazy
I wonder how that can be
Is this why I’m feeling crappy?
A box full of tissues, oh, so many issues!
Please pour me another cup of tea
I whistle when I breathe, I’m wheezing
And in between that, I keep sneezing
My nose is on fire, all I do is perspire
How can that be if I’m freezing?
Tylenol, Advil, Aleve
With these three things, I believe
I can chase this away, at least for today
Perhaps, just a little reprieve
I’m starting to feel some relief
This cold took my spirit, what a thief!
I hope it’s not longer, til I feel much stronger
Until then, I’ll just lie here, (good grief)

Whenever my arms start waving
Before I start ranting and raving
Hubby hops in the car, but doesn’t go far
Cause he knows it’s the sign of a craving
The munchies have struck me, oh my
Better hope you’re not standing nearby
See, I grab what is here, without any fear
Stress gets the best of me, sigh
My limit has now been exceeded
My doctor’s orders, unheeded
I crunch and I munch, shove in a bunch
These chips were just what I needed
