Time to Update?

Haven't added "pomes" since 2009? Well, I have written a few in the intervening years. This blog seems like a good place to store all my nonsense. Blogger has changed format, design, etc. since 2009, so I'll have to figure out several elements. Adding a few doggerels a day, dated, from oldest to newest. Maybe. Please, self, remember you were quite a bit younger...

Here are a few from 2008 not previously "published":

Dessert diet      (11/21/08)

Dessert would be a big delight
when you've been good most every night
and mostly never have had none
we could just start to have some fun.

So long-iz you don't overboard
don't cave too much, too long, oh lord
There's other stuffs to eat. you know
and think of growing big below!

Think green, oh yes, our swissy chard
all chocolate might be too hard
and zoop with noodles in a bowl
go oh so well with springy roll

tis soon the season we can try
to eat our cake and all that pie
to have and eat it, yes, oh my
then say we didn't. yes, we'll lie!

Share the moment          (12/5/08)

the hum of ho, when people are loud,
not loud, but chatty and bunched in a crowd...
pencils need sharpening, one two and three;
there goes attention, yup, right up a tree.
Isn't there something they need to be doing??
like humming or working or sitting there stewing?
you notice my lines gain a beat every time...
(until now) but still they are not worth a dime.
Like knitting left-handed, it can't be done well,
pome-writing needs practice and practice is hell.

Friday song          (12/12/08)

Glad I am no more in school;
had enough of bells and rules.
All those years of pencil toil
kept the brain cells in a roil.
Not that rest is what I need;
exercise the head indeed!
Choosing where and when and how
is how I like to do it now.

If I had to take a test
to see what I'm doing best,
t'would not be knitting, this I know.
Would maybe be ... avoiding snow?
tee hee, ca-chortle, now I see,
making pomes... I get a B?
That is why I'm glad it's done,
Now it all can just be fun!

Seasonal pome          (12/19/08)

Embrace your inner in-most elf.
Yes, you know, your truest self.
Ha ha, tee hee, ho ho ho...
your beard must whiten and must grow.
What? No belly? we can fix --
I already have the mix.
Fruit cake, muffins and some rum;
eat up, drink up, have some fum.
oops that's fun I meant to say;
Sit by fire and drift away.

Open presents, do not moan;
I will poke you if you groan.
Nog and egg, just suck it up,
be a man and drain last drup.
oops that's drop I meant to say --
Tend that fire! Don't drift away!!

Many people that we know
want to see us. Let it snow?
Then we can stay right at home
take it easy, take it slome.
oops, that's slow I meant to say;
Sit by fire and snooze away.

If it doesn't snow and hail,
we will travel (like the mail).
And be cheerful, yes we will;
even if we have to swill...
oops, I meant that we will drink
just until we reach the brink...
Hope they have a fireplace lit;
we can snooze there while we sit.
