My old cat
Is cavorting on the deck,
Like a kitten.
I'd cavort with him,
Were it fittin'.

------

Would life be a little better,
And maybe not so dull,
If I strayed from off the line
A little bit?
But my mama would be watching;
And with God there
Taking notes,
I guess I shouldn't even
Think of it.

--------

The Oil Crisis

Liquid gold is what they call you,
Liquid gold is what you are.
Gold I'm spending very freely,
For my home and in my car.

Politicians will debate you,
For the better or the worse.
The only way for me, however?
Digging deeper in my purse.

---------
Just for fun.  Have a good day!

Joyce

Joyce,
Great stuff. Each stanza could be a poem in itself.

It was a fun read Joyce, thanks!

Joyce,

I'll have to admit that I stray off the line a bit from time to time.  It helps make life more interesting.

Thanks for the fun...don't stray, it may be 'less boring' but you are wonderful where you are.  Excitement isn't everything we junkies make it out to be.

A little nonsense penned in verse
To this I'd never be obverse
Such silly prattle lifts my day
I hope that you've got more to say!!!..

Joyce. THIS is nonsense? I like it no matter what you call it. All made plenty of sense to me!
