Survived another of lifes painful lessons...


Poem Artwork

“SURVIVED”


 


Okay, okay, you all said it wouldn’t be that bad


But I am a worrier isn’t that just too sad?


Another dental appointment I did survive,


Still a bit of pressure on my jaw, hopefully after sleep, I will revive…


 


The ocean was still there and my laundry got done,


Rufuz stayed home, the heat out there was really quite overdone,


He had the a/c, and I had to live with the windows open,


But I got to the ocean, if he knows that he will be mopin’…


 


We will go down again this weekend, when the heat will have dissipated,


My friends are staying in house right on the beach in full view of the ocean,


They have a dog name of Bud, who loves Rufuz and he reciprocates,


They will be able to run on the beach, and jump in the water,


Can’t tell him right now as he will be thinking about it, yes anticipated…


 


So all in all, a productive day, gotta go back to work tomorrow, that does suck,


Hope you all had a wonderful day, no teeth problems; some have all the luck…

Ed...have you ever seen Loretta La Roche on public television?
She is a hilarity...bigtime...and one of the funniest "therapists"
you'll ever encounter!
She is on videos, too.
"Life Is Not A Stress Rehearsal"
"Get A Life"
"Relax! You Only Live Once." If you can't find them in the video
store, order them from library interloan, or on Amazon.com
The best "soother" around!

The Wholly Book of Genesis by Jay Dubya

The Wholly Book of Genesis is a humorous satire on the first book of the Old Testament where the Story of Creation, the building of Noah's Ark, Sodom and Gomorrah and the families of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob are thoroughly spoofed and broadsided.
