silverfish

Today a silverfish

shimmied in my coffee filter;

black on white,

all too clear.

Next a gnat swam up my coffee,

backstroked to the edge.

Neither was a picnic to remove.

One required a napkin squash;

the second, a spoon-y wash.

Tiny bugs bug me most:

they bow and squeak and boast!

Pumpkins and Squashes

Pumpkins gathered in the field
to roast and toast and boast;
Then squashes came to cheer them on:
The acorns clapped the most!

To roast and toast and boast
’bout whose spice smelled the best:
nutmeg, sugar, cinnamin zest?

Then squashes came to cheer them on:
Butternut, gourds, and zucc’s
With marinade upon their dukes.

The acorns clapped the most!
with butter melted quick
between their golden licks!

Yum! Yum!
All rights.
