Snow is Nice I love the crunchy sound of the speckled white powder underneath my feet The fresh clean smell the substance gives off opens my nostrils to an experience so sweet I love the bright white that I see all around me It makes my eyes seem As though they are glowing Yet the bitter cold It keeps flowing and flowing I love this bitter sweetness Such and ungodly amount So many snowflakes I can’t possibly count Still. . . Snow is nice.

I love the crunchy sound

of the speckled white powder

underneath my feet

The fresh clean smell

the substance gives off

opens my nostrils

to an experience so sweet

I love the bright white

that I see all around me

It makes my eyes seem

As though they are glowing

Yet the bitter cold

It keeps flowing and flowing

I love this bitter sweetness

Such and ungodly amount

So many snowflakes

I can’t possibly count

Still. . .

Snow is nice.

The Puzzle Purse Life is complex Like a puzzle purse The pieces are oddly shaped even deformed But no matter what they have a purpose they always fit together

Life is complex

Like a puzzle purse

The pieces are oddly shaped

even deformed

But no matter what

they have a purpose

they always fit

together

My First Taste of Heaven It was seductively smooth Sensually rich A whipped milky brown Delicious layers of flavor: Creamy chocolate, Salty peanuts, A crunchy cookie, With a touch Of caramel This insanely sweet treat Devours my senses. Ahh, the delight Of my first Snickers

It was seductively smooth

Sensually rich

A whipped milky brown

Delicious layers of flavor:

Creamy chocolate,

Salty peanuts,

A crunchy cookie,

With a touch

Of caramel

This insanely sweet treat

Devours my senses.

Ahh, the delight

Of my first

Snickers

Kitty Witty Kitty Kitty, so cute and small, Kitty Kitty, I love them all!!!! They are so sweet and so tiny the way they fit into your hand. They can melt the heart of even the coldest man. Kitty Kitty you are so good for my health. I think I may just treat you to that can of tuna up there, on the top shelf. Kitty Kitty my purr-filled friend, may you comfort and guide me. Until this short life is at its blessed end.

Indigestion, how terrible it feels, It makes you want to go eat 500 of them Tums pills ! Oh! How it makes you scream and howl ! Just like a volcano, erupting in your bowels ! It will make you twist and turn and think things in your head, just like “man, I wish I hadn’t eaten that triple chocolate pudding, that dressing, and that bread !” OH! INDIGESTION ! How I hate you from the bottom of my gut, where it spittles and spews, and spurts and sputs ! ! !

Indigestion !

It burns and it bubbles ! !

It makes you feel like your tummy’s in trouble !

Indigestion, how terrible it feels,

It makes you want to go eat 500 of them Tums pills !

Oh! How it makes you scream and howl !

Just like a volcano, erupting in your bowels !

It will make you twist and turn and think things in your head, just like “man, I wish I

hadn’t eaten that triple chocolate pudding, that dressing, and that bread !”

OH! INDIGESTION ! How I hate you from the bottom of my gut, where it spittles and spews, and spurts and sputs ! ! !
