summer solstice
‘tis mid-summer to soon
what happened to June?
and July’s on the run
yet it’s hardly begun!
i don’t know about you
but I’m gonna assume
you’re distraught just like me
‘cause we love summer’s ease
i’m thinking we might
have to put up a fight
so when summertime ends
let’s begin it again

and this is the question
can I toss intention
and renounce all strife
at this stage of life?
could I, if you please,
watch daytime TV
munch crackers and brie
sip Long Isle Iced Teas
would I, do you see,
be happy with ease??
seems I have this need
to paint constantly
these posers, indeed,
are happy to see
their pix on my blog
as cute as can be

Fine Whine
my sister says
you are gonna get it
my sister says
you get a weather credit
my sister says
when this summer has been bedded
and the fall is this way headed
it will be so fine
the temps so kind you’ll renounce all your whine...

so there i was painting
to wit, en plein air
the sun it was shining
the view oh so fair
what i did not see
was a stranger near me
he must have been testy
that bugger so pesty
who unknown to me
took exception, i guess
and gave me his best
i hollered out OUCH
you bugger you beast
i’m stung and you’re OUT
squashed by my feet
so here’s the main thing
when painting plein air
to avoid a bee sting
use bug spray EV’RYWHERE!

we LOVE our pets
present and past
if we’ve got some faults
they never suspect
so here’s to the joy-
ous acceptance they bring
as they always insist
they shower us with licks!
(and muzzles so slick)
