An ode to my breakfast

ottawa bagels., originally uploaded by heather.

Thank you dear bagel with jelly
You're tasty from my mouth to belly
You're doughy, you're sweet
You're so good to eat
Inspiring rhymes that are silly

Dear jelly on top of this bagel
A great meal to find at my table
Your sweetness is tasty
My eating is hasty
Devour? I'm willing and able

birthday limerick season

Today is Maya's Birthday



There once was a girl with cable
Who was smart, talkative, and able
With a penchant to ponder
And a will to go wander
She takes hours to eat at the table

Today our sweet lass will turn thirty
Though I doubt this will stop our young flirty
From thinking and dreaming
From laughing or screaming
Or ceasing her looks which are purty

Happy Birthday to Little Miss My
Still stunned by how fast the years fly?
May your day reign supreme
May your year be the thing
To lift, to sustain, to gratify

Yesterday was Timothy's birthday

There once was a guy in the Navy
Who everyone else thought was crazy
A glance in the mirror
Let him see himself clearer
As someone unique and amazing

He 12-stepped himself into Health
and learned alot about hisself
The girl with his heart
Introduced him to art
He began to paint a new self

He painted and folded and creased
Unfolded and painted and breathed
Gallery showings
Triumphant and glowing
Made him happy and hopeful and pleased

Life continued to blossom and open
The door was ajar to let hope in
It's his birthday today
So hip hip hooray
In the festivities may he soak in

So come one and all, let's join hands
(Billy 2 shoes stop eating rubber bands)
(Ramon cut that out
'for the police find us out)
to sing Happy Birthday to the T-Man

Meanwhile, T's got a limerick of his own and it goes like this:

there was a young man from vermont
who used to go on the lake in a boat.
he got hit with an oar
while rowing the boat
and now the young man must wear glasses.

It's the anti lymeric, says T. He's got some birthday ruminations on his site and what it means to be a not-old guy.
