I hope my kids look back on today
She’s distracted* byWhen reality/
TV turned more important/
than me, I turned off.
I learned this great Truth: /
Serving in His House daily /
directs me safely.
Stalk red rhubarb’s stalk/
if you dare, but eat not her/
poison’d green leaves fair.
I shall refrain from/
quoting what Shakespeare once wrote:/
Smite that jealous Moon.
Yes, I know PHO is NOT pronounced “FOE”, but it looks like it should be.
To my daughter in the Emergency Room, hungry:
Oh, No!
I won’t bring Pho.
We have to go
get some!
(Not Dim Sum)
Donchaknow?!?
She might leave the dime /
there, reminder of the time /
he showed how he cared.
?
After he’d emptied /
his glands, she only hoped that/
he had washed his hands.
