Ridiculous ants

Running all the time, what for?

Wait, I’m late for class!

 

Pandas climb up trees

They gorge on thin bamboo strips

They live in Asia

 

Autumn leaves fall down

Pumpkins sprout out from the ground

Fall has now arrived!

 

Is it that time now?

Already Tuesday again?

No progress yet. Boo....

 

Climbing the walls now

Deprivation is not good

I could go for fat

 

Young, middle, elders,

Respectively Focus on

Future, present, past

 

Just been to the beach

Just to wade in the water

What relief to feel

 

Today someone said,

"That's so two thousand and two"

I am really old.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I dropped the toner

cartridge on the floor.  A huge

explosion of soot.

 

I still miss --

All of the men that I have

Ever slept with -

 

Time to make a leap

Running while staying in place

is not an option.

Elephants are big

They stomp around with big feet

They can weigh a ton

 

Congo runs by me

He shoots for the tennis ball

Laps up the water

 

Too tired today

After busy and tiring day

To do anything good.

 

Away to London

On a mission just like bond

Keep calm, carry on

 

Stay a while longer

For we are all connected

See that it is good

 

Friends from old visit

Happy happy for two days

So sad when they leave

 

Hot soup veg and broth

Uh! 500 calories

HCG kill me!

 

Bought a new jacket

It's cute and perfect for fall

But it smells so bad!

 

Water Heater broke

Cost thirteen hundred to fix

Hubs almost had stroke

 

Forget March Madness

Homeowner problems arise

October crazy

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm gushing with joy

At all the wonders life brings

Taking it all in

 

Whoa, five syllables

Then there are seven of them

Then another five!

 

Is it edible

Take it, batter it, fry it

The Texas State Fair

 

Cry when picking teams?

If I were queen of the is-

land. I’d vote you off.

 

Thirty three dollars

for a night in DC. It

was twenty in France.

Dreary and gloomy

The weather in New Jersey

Sunlamp therapy!

 

Summer heats Fall cools

Welcome to red and orange

Hello furry coats!

 

Water pump leaking.

Total cost me $756.

Almost had a stroke.

 

Who came up with Fall?

We spiraling to Winter?

Symbolism….mmm

 

Better to have lunch

Satisfying and healthy

Than eat fast and cheap

 

Silence in the car

Man raps on the windshield glass

“Can I have a buck?”

 

Who knew you could make

a chocolate chip chocolate cake

in the microwave?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We look off the bluff

We are at the Grand Canyon

Look at the falcon

 

Water vapor rise!            

Cling on particles of dust

Fall down once again

 

Dared to walk outside

My body evaporates

Socal autumn day
