Fell off the bandwagon. Alas.

Whelp,

I've written the poems! they're all on the project page.

I'll do a dump now though!

Day 46:

Sideline Dinners                      


 

As I sit and watch you eat
your cheesy pizza full of meat
I nibble broccoli and sprouts
ignoring my head full of doubts
Green is good and raw is great
Learning to love the foods I hate
But the smell of deep fried chips
brings frothing saliva to my lips
Sprinkle spice to make it hot
then pretend it is what its not
'I am happy with these vege,'
'I will not surrender,' this is my pledge

Munch Munch Munch, chew and swallow
in regrets I shall not wallow
Meals are simple and soon forgot
but the healthy feels will grow a lot.


Day 47 : Money
My wallet is choked
The bank account poked
Slush funds have run dry
My savings do cry
How hard is it to budget?
When there's a sale I'll fudge it
But otherwise I'm smart
And careful to an art
But then A and E for one,
And that's a hundred done
Then doctor, and I was new
So quickly a ninety blew
Testing that's not funded,
Fifty dollars they plundered
The AA wanted me to renew
And the ms society subscription too
Also there's the new diet
No meat or dairy and can't fry it
So fresh veges and fresh fish
Make a quick, but costly dish
Where does it all go?
So hard earned with naught to show
Next month will be tighter
And my spending must be lighter.


Day 48 Herring and Now
Hey little fish in the ocean,
Im sorry, it's scary out there,
There is so much world to see
Yet so much hurt you might bear,
But swim straight and strong and true
And don't get distracted by hooks
For though they are baited delicious
At the end they are just greedy crooks
How will you know then, the morsel
The one that it is safe to eat?
I guess that it is hard to know,
So nibble a few as a treat.
But most of all embrace the water
Feel it hug you as it passes by
This is the life to sustain you
As is air to a bird of the sky
Feel yourself grow strong in the tide
Know that you are unique in the sea
Schooling or hermit, you're destined
To find where you're going to be.

Day 49:

Bed
These days I love to nap,
To snuggle and to sleep
Nestled in a blanket wrap
I'll surrender and fall in deep
In dreaming there be adventure
Yet while warm and soft inside
With no dissent to censure
All Possibilities can ride
that's while eyes are lidded
And sometimes mine are wide
As I take in books unbidded
And learn all the things words hide
Bed is a place of wonder
And you'll often find me here
It is a place to ponder
Or dream without a care.
But I like bed best when together
With my Chris who loves it too,
we'll cuddle through all weather
Murmuring our 'I love you's.
