I have a fresh Do!

I have a new coif!

My straggly hair

has been trimmed off!

I feel like a

Woman of the World

when my hair is

permed and cut and curled.

My three old cats

all like their food.

On that, they do agree.

As long as they get

both kibble and wet,

they’re a happy group of three.

I’ve lighted a candle for the world.

Perhaps we can find direction.

Perhaps we’ll see a path to take

in the candle’s pure reflection.

The earth is unfriendly.

It liketh us not.

The temperature varies.

Too cold.  Then, too hot.

The oceans are rising,

the forests on fire.

The food chain is threatened.

The future seems dire.

The question’s before us:

Will we do what we can?

Or will we drift idly

to the Ending of Man?

A little pink primrose lifted its head

and reached for the sullen sky.

It’s promise on this wintry day:

Spring’ll be here by and by.

Fifteen hundred die each day.

We count them – one by one.

We hear the news – then turn away—

as the march of death goes on.

I need a quiet lullaby…

notes running through my head.

I need a quiet lullaby…

before I go to bed.

I need to hear a simple song…

before I close my eyes.

I need a lullaby to sleep…

before it’s time to rise.

Some cast their votes

with honor and duty.

Some just want their

share of the booty.

The ice and snow are melting fast.

I can get out to the street at last!

I’d stay inside till I feel a bit fitter…

but I’m ‘bout to run out of kitty litter.
