A Wise Gal!

                  A Wise Gal!

                          My Grampa Says That Life is Short!

                          “Like You and Mom,” Is My Retort!

                          I’m a Wise Gal!  Yet Still, I’m Proud,

                          I’ve Learned Not to Reply Out Loud!

                          It’s True I am a Sassy Girl,

                          Like Most Red Heads Throughout This World,

                          Some Comebacks I Swallow are Great!

                          Swallowing Those is My Sad Fate!

                          When Someone Says, “I’ve Half a Mind …”

                          Bella Can Hear All My Teeth Grind!

                          “Half a Mind’s Being Generous!”

                          Flows Cuz My Tongue is Venomous!

                          Even Mom Can Get Quite Graphic

                          Anytime She’s Stuck in Traffic!

                          My Genes Share Her Flip Attitude!

                          Flip ‘Tude … Flip Off!   Time We Reviewed!

                          Juicy Retorts, I Rarely Say!

                          That Doesn’t Mean They Go Away!

                          There’s Times Two Hands Cover My Mouth!

                          Any Less, My Restraint Goes South!

Your Grampa Sure Loves Y’All!

Stop and Smell the Roses!

 

Vol. 1  Chap. 580

            Stop and Smell the Roses!

 

   Pistil, Stamen, Pollination!

   My Poor Brain Needs a Vacation!

   Once, I’d Stop and Smell the Roses!

   Now I’m Not Sure That My Nose is

 

   Able to Over~Ride My Brain,

   Switched On at Sun~Rise, I Remain

   In Science Class Mode Even Though

   It’s Been a Year Since Kids Could Go

 

   Into What Once was Our Class~Room!

   A Year Since Everything Went Zoom!

   Now I Have Trouble Discerning

   Just What’s Mandatory Learning!

 

   Aud Saw Me Mentally Distressed!

   Grabbed Mom’s Keys Yelled, “C’mon Get Dressed!”

   In a Snap We’re In Paisley Fields

   On a Tractor with Huge Rear Wheels!

 

   Aud Drove Slowly and Narrated,

   Connecting Concepts in My Head!

   Pistil, Stamen, Pollination!

   Imagine My Pure Elation!

"Just living is not enough... one must have sunshine, freedom,

and a little flower." - Hans Christian Andersen

      Slipped Just as That Snake Came Closer!

      Bit an Onion on Spotting Him

      He Wrapped ‘Round Her!  She Breathed on Him!

 

      Anaconda, He Caught a Whiff!
