My Minion

My Minion

This is the minion, who lives in my shop,

Delivers my K-cups right out of his top,

Happy-go-lucky and giggly it’s true,

To greet me each morning with my coffee brew.

He carried some candy on Halloween Day,

And, sadly he sat to be thrown away,

How dismal a thought for his purpose to rob,

Ecstatic to take on a permanent job.

Now, as you can see he has a big smile,

He carries this java in glorious style,

And, after the coffee is brewed in a whiz,

My eyes and my smile become as big as his!

Thanks, Buddy!

Radiant Day

Radiant Day

I need some words to fill the heart,

To fill each dark and dusty part,

To take the dull and drab away,

To swell upon this radiant day.

A sun filled field of grassy loam,

The twinkling dew on forest dome,

As pinker petals open wide,

Throughout the hills and countryside.

My heart is filled in God alone,

What error within he does atone,

He bursts with light the dismal pall,

My glorious One, and Lord of all!

Snow in April

Snow in April

Snow in April, who would know,

Now I’d simply wish’d it go,

Mother Nature’s had some fun,

Dropped an inch don’t leave ton.

Kids inside would rather play,

In the park on sunny day,

Caught indoors they run and swerve,

Stomping on Mom’s final nerve.

Purple crocus crying loud,

Weeping in their snowy shroud,

Daffodils all bow their head,

Some lay on the ground half-dead.

OK Spring, it’s time to shout,

Bring your warmer weather out,

Winter’s had his final tease,

Go back north, we beg you, “Please!”
