Flying past the Super 8,
where we could stop if we were late,
but we aren’t so, so we keep going,
but we could stop if it were snowing,
but the weather’s actually hot,
but we could stop if it were not.
Enough Is Enough
We spend so much time working
to pay for things to take up the time we are not working.
In the free time we buy, we shop, we sort, we fix, we clean,
we use, we move, we dispose of, and finally we scream,
“Enough is enough!
Let’s stop with the stuff!
Let’s work for what’s needed
and live just to love!”
Beating Eggs
My arm, my arm!
What’s done me harm
is a lack of electric mixer.
I guess that I have quite the knack
for beating eggs,
but I could go quicker.
Uh-Oh
You can only say “uh-oh” if it was a mistake.
Tell that to my child as I mop up this lake.
There’s a Color You’ve Never Seen
There’s a color you’ve never seen
somewhere hiding in between
turquoise, tangerine, chartreuse,
burnt sienna, pink and puce.
This hue, it’s true, has eluded for ages
artists, smartests, chefs and sages,
but I finally found it while faring afar
and I’ll sell it to you in this opaque jar.
Creature Comfort
I’m glad to know I’m not my own
and that you’re not mine either.
I’m glad my creator keeps us as his.
This comfort’s made me a believer.
When You Wake Up
When you wake up in the morning,
do you wish that either life was fun
or that you could go back to bed?
Or do you just do what needs to be done?
