It’s 8:30 a.m
Just entered the loo,
Sat on the pot
with nothing to do
but my morning routine,
if you know what I mean
And stare mindlessly at a few magazines,
Catalogues, more catalogues,
Brochures and the like,
Even a few renegade mags about bikes
Colorful ads, lovely flowers, vacations, and seeds,
Fine somethings or others that everyone needs.
But back to those seeds they look so appealing
They make me forget the heat this winter’s been stealing.
I can almost taste those sweet peas popped fresh from the pod
Maybe I’ll buy some new kind of corn on the cob.
That sweet corn on the grill with butter and salt and pepper and parm .
Those tomatoes to die for that came fresh from the farm.
The basil, Spicy Globe, it’s fragrance so fine.
I wish spring was here….if only I could fast forward winter time.

Very clever!
Yes; this makes me want to fast-forward time too. We bought a new house in January, and so we have yet to see what the yard (read: future garden) will look like. 🙂
