BOTTOM DRAWER
Cleaning up after dogs is the core that defines hate for friends, footed, four pleading eyes and a whine that go on, all the time's why I won't have them come in the door Alan ·······  ······· |

We have one that's allowed in the house
but she really belongs to my spouse. A small sheltie for sheep; we have none... but I keep my mouth shut. To have peace, I don't grouse! ······· ·······When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

Chocolates may be brought as a gift
for occasions or to mend a rift caused by macho display; "I'm a man" you might say but there's no love tonight if she's miffed. ······· ·······When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations.

Deep investment may not be the game
if chocolates won’t kindle the flame and the missus stays miffed over some bunny gift you had bought her for Easter. A shame! ······· ······· |

"It's a shame!" said the miser who bought
all his candy on sale. He had thought it was cheaper to pay after the holiday. With cream-egg on his face, he was caught. ······· ·······When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations.

No, it wasn't the bucket he kicked;
at the Easter egg hunt he was licked by his grandsons who got more sweets than they ought -- but with his help -- and many hand-picked. ······· ·······Slow down; things will go faster!
