Sense Sonnet - Steamer

 Catastrophic Nightmare

I had a dream the other night,

That my saucer of milk and I

Had grown to giants, and the fright

Was I dumped the whole milk supply

Onto a city express lane,

On lots of tiny traffic there.

Had I suddenly gone insane?

Because I am not one to share,

My milk, let alone dump it all.

Such behavior, a true surprise.

And to this cat, did so appall,

Only way to categorize!

To full saucer of milk I wake.

Just a bad catnap I did take.

 Retired

I was one of a team of four,

And did a lot of moving 'round.

Privilege to serve, not just a chore,

Whatever time and place be bound.

Keeping my family safe was my

Main mission and I did so fine,

Till a bad puncture wound, and I

Knew that forced retirement was mine.

But my family did decide

To let me serve another way.

So I'm still here for them to ride.

This happy tire does get to stay.

Hung from a rope on back yard tree,

My family kids now swing on me.

 Happy 50th Wedding Anniversary

For 50 tears, shared wedded life,

Begun as hopes and dreams of young,

Bound together, husband and wife.

So many memories among

The ups and downs through all the years.

The good, the bad, you both did share

Through all the laughter, all the tears,

Each with the other to take care.

Your family and friends give you

Best wishes for your special day,

Celebrating your love be true,

Holding you together to stay.

Such a blessed event does be,

Your Golden Anniversary.

 Always Dressed Appropriately

Mother Nature's four seasons of

Winter and Spring, Summer and Fall,

Each one Mother Nature does love

To dress appropriately for all.

Colors and patterns and fibers, she,

Does for each season, take such care.

Always sensation, she does be,

And willingly does ever share

Her fashions and adornments with

All present in each time and place,

To be recalled in fact and myth,

Mother Nature's fine style and grace.

Which season is, can best be guessed

By manner Mother Nature's dressed.

 Missed Again!

A kookaburra bird in flight

Sees a human hunter below.

Then a boomerang comes in sight,

So to a wattle tree does go

The kookaburra very fast,

Protected in its branches till

The flying boomerang has passed,

Missing the object of its kill.

The kookaburra then does sound

Its call that it is well known for,

Heard by the hunter on the ground,

As heard so many times before.

The disappointed human's grim,

The kookaburra laughs at him.

 Weight Less

Charly's a tubby teddy bear

According to awful true scales.

He has a sweet tooth, he's aware,

And so added poundage prevails.

"Go on a diet," says his wife,

But skinny, she can't understand,

A diet's full of stress and strife,

Notwithstanding spousal demand.

So Charly has promised his wife, he,

To please her, will surely lose weight,

Giving his wife a guarantee,

She'll soon have a less tubby mate.

Charly feels he'll lose weight for sure,

By shaving off all of his fur.

 My Living God's Will

My living God's will is well worth

The promise I will receive my

Salvation when I leave this Earth,

When it comes time for me to die.

My living God's will, I have erred,

And sometimes let my will go wrong.

But then when I would pray, God shared

Guidance on my finding faith, strong.

My living God's will, I know of

Jesus, my best friend and God's Son,

Always with me, giving me love,

Helping me live, God's will be done.

My living God's will, and I will

Earn trip to Heaven to fulfill.

 Pluto

A dwarf that dumb blue ball calls me,

Pluto, non planet redefined.

Since then, very perturbed I be

With all those pompous humankind.

Just because I am far and small,

Take centuries to orbit sun,

Judgmental humans have the gall

To deem me as an exiled one.

Named after god of underworld,

Another jab by human folk.

Insult after insult they've hurled

At me as brunt of their sick joke.

With my revenge I'll have rebirth

When I plow into planet Earth.

 Business Opportunity

His secretary I became.

He is a very wealthy man.

Catching the old guy was my aim,

Divorced his wife in short time span,

Having fallen in love with me.

Even with divorce settlement,

He still had plenty of money,

And I dreamed how it would be spent.

Each day he turned more frail and ill.

I hurried up our wedding date,

The legality to fulfill,

And close the deal before too late.

Now ring  around my finger, and

Soon, wealthy widow as I planned.

 The Talk

The father's son has reached the age

When it is time to have the talk.

Difficult subject to engage,

But according to nature's clock,

The son needs given knowledge of

What the father learned long ago,

Difference between young lust and love,

Facts of life the son needs to know.

So at the kitchen table they

Come together, each takes a seat.

And the father begins to say

Why he has asked the two to meet.

Father and son, the talk to be

Made easier o'er pot of tea.

 Bullying

I was bullied some as a kid,

And I was a bully some back.

It was just stuff most of us did,

Getting and giving dumb attack.

As I grew up, luckily I

Learned the hard way a bully is

A very ugly trait in my

Behavior, so made it my biz

To no more bully any way,

Even if I be bullied, and

When bullying comes on display,

Find strength in me, best understand.

My question when bullying's done,

How will I be a helpful one?

 With Happy, Without Worry

Worry and I were walking down

The road, suddenly we got stuck

In a mud hole, Worry did frown,

Complaining typical bad luck.

But then, Happy walked up to us,

Offering to pull us both out.

Worry's reply was just to cuss,

Did not want Happy's help, no doubt.

Then Happy looked at me and said,

"Stay with Worry or come with me."

"We'll look for good in life instead"

"Of stuck bad here like Worry be."

With Happy, we walked on our way.

Worry, stuck in the mud, did stay.
