Play Away
it’s really okay
to chill out and play
we all know we should
(that is understood)
but still we forget
and totally get
ourselves in fun debt
we think if we could
buy us some fun
then surely we would
feel wonderf’ly good

Meryl Street
original watercolor cityscape/NY: 10" x 14"
The cars and the peeps
on NY city streets
are frantic and rhythmic
and sometimes cataclysmic
horns honking, tires screeching
peeps late for a meeting
it's a love/hate affair
With city-life there.

Tuff Stuff
There once was a spring breeze named Sough
Not harsh nor decidedly tough
He nudged winter’s huff
Said “pick up your stuff”
And blew it away with a puff!

Practice makes better
But perfect?
Not ever...
Especially if painting
Is what you can do
You’ll prob’ly improve
But that’s questionable, too
My advice to you
Buy a BertieBrown or 2

what ho!
i’m gonna say this
gettin’ older is so
not tops on my list
seems there are some peeps
pollyannas and such
who’ll tell you how sweet
it is, that’s a bunch
of crap, oh ‘tis true
there are a few perks
please don’t misconstrue
we work out, not work
and nap after noon
there’s grandies to keep
that’s work that we seek
it helps keep us fit
and quick on our feet
but losses do come
that’s harsh, and a fact
‘though dismissed by some,
i’ve got much less tact
so try if you can
to put off old age
‘cause footloose it seems
ain’t quite fancy free

Sophie and I
are questioning this
could June ever be
more perfect.... what bliss!
with cool linen days
sun dried, whitened bright
and navy blue nights
glitter sprinkled, twinkling lights
‘though we do love summer’s song
when those H’s* come on strong
we can find fault in this
‘though we’d never throw a fit...

Quints Jam
The woodwind Quintet
Is surprised and upset
That a brass French Horn-et
Is allowed on their set
But the French Horn explained
While the Woodwinds complained
That his rich rounded sound
Keeps the Woodwinds anchored down
So they changed all their plans
And that’s how it began
For the “Woodwind Quints Jam”
