MORE POEMS FROM TIMES PAST

 

      How about a poem called Cough, Snort, and Wheeze?

        Her dreams are bad

        And when she wakes,

       Her throat is raw,

       Her left ear aches

       Her mood is cranky,

       Her brain is soggy 

       Her body's hurting 

       Her movements loggy          

   

     As you can guess it?

     Fiorella's sick,

     And she darn well better

     Get well quick!                               Posted by Fiorella Plum at 8:53 am, January 31, 2009

Maternal Eternal

   As Fiorella was putting away groceries, she picked up a ten pound bag of birdseed and automatically cradled it in her arms to distribute the weight. Immediately a pang of longing raced through her. The birdseed felt exactly like a baby in arms. And it's a wonder she didn't start lactating. 

Fio adores babies, which is a little odd  because her mother didn't. "I prefer children when they're older and you can teach them things," Mother explained.

   Your girl likes people whatever, but she still has a special feeling for babies.

      Nursing Home Visit  

     I am so tempted not to visit him,

The zombie in my father's form-- 

He does not know me

He does not miss me,    

He is not my father

     But oh, he is, he is
