More than chocolate and ice cream
More than cookies and cake
Fruit will forever first place
In my heart take!

Even as all others hunkered down
Ahead of the incoming hurricane
And seaweed caked foam splattered sand
She walked on,
Her umbrella
Less a shield
Than battleground.

Drive-Thru

It is not everyday
You see ostrich crew
Arrive for your order
At the Drive-Thru,
Or have zebras peek in
To ensure you are pleased
Beating deer to the chase
To customers’ ease.

A Bit Eccentric
Photo: Inbar Asif
He may be a bit eccentric
And his music may be bold,
But his mama will be happy
That his head will not be cold,
That someone is watching over
Just in case he should be told,
That it is time to eat the snack
Before his energy will fold.
Merriam-Webster’s word for July 7, 2018:
Eccentric

Six Words Are Not Quite Enough

Six words are not quite enough
For me who lengthy rhymes adore
So instead of words to doff
I’ll celebrate with six times four.

Love is Love

They said they made an odd couple.
They said they shouldn’t hold hands.
They said if they stopped for reason,
They would understand.
They said they weren’t compatible.
They said it will never last.
They said a man with a woman
Clash with too much contrast.
They said it was doomed to fail
And should not be allowed.
But they loved one another,
And love should be proud.

Sophistry’s Secret

Once deception gains hold
And defended
As gold
It becomes a routine
For mis-truths
To be sold.

Come This Way
Photo: Smadar Halperin-Epshtein
There is no need to sneak
Or take the long way around
You’re invited to step on
The green grassy ground.
Such a lovely reminder
That lawns are to be used
It’s a warm friendly offer
That I shall not refuse!

Asseverate Assertively

When there’s no doubt in your heart
And truth is quite compelling,
Be firm
Be kind
And speak your mind,
For sooth is worth a telling.

Hold Fire

Not exactly preventive
And yet he sure looks to me
Like Smokey Bear’s evil cousin
Holding fires to be.
