A to Z of The Funnies
A witty thought just winged in
Better not to share it
Cause you might not think it funny
Delivery is so important
Even when it's stand up at
Five and dime stores
Garden parties or elsewhere
Hone your sport
Intent on entertaining
Jocular bites will only taste
Kosher if that pinch of jest
Lingers long after narrated
Mind you it can be short
Neither risque nor bawdy
Often tasteless content
Perturbes the listener to a yawn
Quietly think things through
Recite it in monologue
Surely its okay
To bore oneself
Until a masterpiece
Ventures in on
Wings of creativity
Xerox a few copies
Yours can start with
Zeus on the mountain resides
Heat Tableau
Why is it today?
my entire soul,
being a-ruffle,
as the rain leaves us,
to scorch and to burn.
victim of climate
changing its wary
ways; hotter than hot,
rainier than wet
days, of yesteryears.
the noisy fan whirrs,
i scribe words to soothe
my new discomfort,
of climate days changed,
and yet still changing,
oh what a challenge.

Unfailing Mercy
Every flower as it unfurls,
Is a sign of,
God's love for us as it unfolds,
With each new day;
Every bow arranged in colour
After the rain
Spanning the sky from cloud to cloud
Adds a promise
Of God's mercy unfailing, and
Redeeming grace.
