Please Hold

“Just a few minutes”
A worn fib I feign before
I grab my Kindle

Downtime

A sputtering end
To a twisty, squeaky week
On Friday, I breathe

Scattered Hooks

I recognize bait
Corporate food traps that taunt
Low bar for free food

Groundhog Day Warning

We forced tv time
Made the kids watch Jon Stewart
Yes, groundhogs do bite

Very Local News

While I read Dickens
Our grocery store made news
With a swat team raid

Work Clothes Once More

Jeans stay on the shelf
I reach for conforming duds
The “look the part” ruse

Super Bowl Shopping

We entered Rosedale
It looked like Southdale to her
Suburban mall trick

Balmy January

The brown grass peeked out
As selfish January
Hides its snow and cold
