Doug's Day

Friend and co-blog master, Doug Palmer, over on Feel Free to Laugh had a unique way
of sharing his day yesterday, perhaps creating a whole
new form of poetry; perhaps not:

Rain

Not going to chop weeds today.
Got a call from our CPA.
Taxes are ready to pick up.
Unusual not to file an extension.
Got it organized and to him a lot earlier than usual.

Gotta run up to pick it up.

Ciao


Sun

Got the tax stuff.
Sun came out.
The chipper came out.
Put in two hours chipping sticks.

And I would add to that:

Ice & Hail

It's supposed to be spring
yet hours before cock's crow
in the midriff of the morning
embracing moon shadow darting
around gray on gray skies,
I found pesky ice on my windshield
so I had to blast it to hell
or Antarctica with my pickup heater,
only to be greeted and pelted
with ice crystal hail, mock snow,
all my merry way to the office
and beyond.

Adios
