Cheeky Missy
Of Ice Cream, Fruit Dip, Craziness
It was out of the movies, truly, and yet simply my neighbors, back from wherever, dressed to the nines, oblivious. slow dancing in their garage. [I\'ve a back garage.]
Oh, Take My Breath Away
(sonnet #MMMMMMMMMCCDLXXI)
Like movie scenes played out in aught detail
To sheer perfection sans the cam\'ras thence:
Lights? his car\'s headlights. After midnight hence
With gentle rain, they\'re dancing to the tale
Of love and romance, softly down the trail
To sweet forever sans an eye fr\'intents
To see, til I drove up that is, from whence
They could not guess, and shut it down sans bail.
Oh! just that glimpse of their romance in tour,
How perfect in the rain, and darkness, two
Souls quite obliv\'ous to the world as twere,
Just dancing in his headlights, dressed unto
The nines was\'t? like to party; back, astir
In love such as we dreamed. LORD, I thank You.

They did, but why?
Black Walnut Over Simply Dip

They did not want the ice cream, wherefore thence?
Marzetti\'s fruit dip \"with real cream\" to scale
The prize, they licked the lid half clean t\'avail,
Nor cared to steal the turkey bacon hence,
The cream therein their joy? Eggs fried fr\'intents
And apple cinn\'mon Kringle that detail
In lieu of toast, serve apple slices\' tale
With fruit dip, porridge tying up breakfast\'s scents.
\'Fore I\'m awake they\'re playing, though quiet fer
All that; when I am up, they\'re chasing through
Th\'apartment, bouncing off the walls in tour,
And when I wash their bowls meowing too.
I liked the ice cream better as it were.
Oh LORD, Thy mercies new each morn\'s of You.

But, that\'s me.
Yes, I Might Agree Tis A Bit Crazy
(sonnet #MMMMMMMMMCCDLXXII)
Come, who could pass beef, ice cream bars and thence
A cake up? Yet my freezer\'s full sans bail,
My fridge has hardly any room t\'avail,
So, guess I\'ll cook the beef up in defense
Of all good food and dinner, wanting hence
But mushrooms for that del\'cacy, as frail
As passing up the shrooms when shopping, hail
A carton of whole shrooms from Robert, whence?
I think we\'re set! Craft smoothies of in tour
The spinach, old bananas, strawb\'rries too,
To call for extra spinach cuz I\'m, poor
Though aught \'scuse low now, and invite him to
Join us for dinner; and he does! Bestir
Us to sing Thy praise, LORD, all, all of You.

Guess mebbe that\'s why I was thinking of the 1990s the night before? [British tourists in Chicago decades ago corrected the busload on pronunciation, and that flavouring especially, whence L10]
Of Shrooms, Whole Shrooms, and Fun
(sonnet #MMMMMMMMMCCDLXXIII)
How Robert comes for dinner, and t\'avail
What fun we have together for intents!
I\'m out whenas he comes, thus, oh pretense!
Get beef and onions out, shrooms that detail
On standby; dice the onions large, to scale,
And cook until the beef\'s browned, shrooms from thence
Dropped in untampered with--he protests hence
So we each steal a couple for sheer bail.
Oh yummy mushrooms! Drizzle in t\'assure
Good taste lo, Worcestershire sauce; boil water to
Cook up fresh corn, and how our dinner\'s fer
All that so filling. Talk of mem\'ries, who
We knew and what we did, til to bestir
Him after dark\'s too bad. LORD, we thank You.
