It's Called Word Doodles, I Guess
(sonnet #MMMMMMMMMLXXI)
How can it be, and wherefore sans aught bail,
Just little me? None other'd 'bide fr'intents
And freeze, nor could I warm til, in defense
A very hot showr ransomed me t'avail,
Chilled to the core as if twas that detail
Deemed perfect, eh? I'm not e'en skinny, whence
Oh, what explains the tale, where for mere cents
I froze to death for twenty hours, too frail.
Tis known that pregnant women have as twere
Odd app'tite urges at strange times--is't true
Thet only pregnant women do? Is't poor
That freezing for eight hours, I ate all through
My lunch and starved? Nigh midnight, I'd bestir
Lo, hot dawgs by desire. Twas too good too.

Where Are We Headed Now?
(sonnet #MMMMMMMMMLXXII)
Behold, last year now I wore pink, a sense
Of what, within that theme pursued t'avail
Since when? "On Wednesdays We Wear Pink'd" detail
A tank top in the thrift store with fr'intents
The movie title "Mean Girls," whilst I thence
Saw means to don what Mum told me in frail
Excuse too many decades 'go, like bail:
"Your colour's pink." Worn since like sheer defense.
Yet oh, this morning, after Christmas' tour,
I begged t'avoid both red and pink, t'eschew
That cuz I could not bear what, eh, as twere?
Dunno. But deep maroon is perfect, to
Be certain. What has changed? I have?! Demur
What I'd embraced for years? LORD, I need You.

- Comment from author about the poem: There's nothing quite like freezing to death and starving to boot, you begin to dream of what'd fix that. Knowing I had a huge package of hot dogs, beef hot dogs, and brat buns... well, can you blame me? Those were the tastiest dawgs I'd had in years. Anyway, you see I'm crazily having fun. Enjoy?

Used to live next to a family that owned a hotdog factory. They would bring hotdogs to all the neighborhood get togeathers but they never ate one. Yea I know what is in them but I still eat them. A fun read.
I love beef hotdogs. Great work.
They're the absolute best, aren't they though? Wish I could have you both over and serve them up so we could all indulge together happily. Thank you again very much!
I no longer eat meat, and I still eat hot dogs (vegetarian), which are surprisingly good. I have always loved them and always will. Loved your sonnets, too, my friend. Well done! ❤️🙏
No longer--?! Vegetarian and yet you so kindly dropped in with a sweet comment, thank you so very much, kind friend! Beans and bean dishes a staple in our diet most of my life, I mistakenly thought we must be vegetarians, knew we weren't vegans, but then discovered we weren't even in the category of vegetarians. I do so LOVE beef. Thank you again very much!
🤣 You are welcome my dear friend! ❤️🙏
Sounds like you had a great time .. being all beefed up like that and in pink too .. nuff to near make this old clinical specialist swoon BIG time .. Its the cold that gets to me most these days but have a spare space blanket if you need some extra heat .. so just holla .. Neville
Mmm. What kind of blanket??? I likes me's blankies, but your suggestion is tempting too, thank you very much. Put on the kettle and let's have tea! Thank you so very much for your kind comment!
