The End of The Road

Given two days of life.
Oh, the strife.
I don't know what to say
To make the pain go away.
Cancer doesn't know it's a baphoon.
It is way too soon.
Doctors have been wrong before.
Your years to live could be more.
Just in case, what to do?
Maybe gaze at a movie or sunset view;
Ride roller coasters or go skydiving;
Or spend time with family who are now arriving.
There really isn't one activity to erase the pain.
This situation is insane.
Cancer doesn't care,
Even in it's face, you stare.
Battles are lost and won.
I know this hasn't been fun.
You're a fighter.
If only medicine was mightier.
Loved ones will be okay.
Your suffering may end one day.
Until then, continue fighting for every day that is new.
Please don't be blue.
In our hearts, your love, care, and intelligence, you always fill.
We love you and we always will.

Dry Spell

A ladybug lands on a flower.
Two beauties are before you this lovely hour.
Spring is definitely upon us.
But weird weather causes a fuss.
Sprinkles tempt the lust for rain.
Then there's a gust of wind as tiny water puddles drain.
The birds gather in the grass,
Getting their fill of bugs, alas.
The same can't be said of a lake in drought.
Perhaps more rain will come in a tropical bout.
Until then, sprinkles will have to do.
Rain, where are you?

Vestigial

Vestigial organs, what a waste!
They are problem-laced.
They were useful long ago,
But now their use is low.
Wisdom teeth are taken out.
Tiny mouths shouldn't pout.
Yes, there is a smaller smile,
But we'll heal after a short while.
As with the teeth, the appendix helped with salad greens;
But appendices burst by any means.
The gall bladder helped with slowly digesting fats.
Our ancestors went a day before finding meals with their bats.
Some people are born with tails,
Which make it awkward to sit on pails.
We go through natural selection.
As we evolve, parts go through un-selection.
Someday we won't have to worry about wisdom teeth, gall bladders, appendices and tails.
Evolution seemingly never fails.

The Future

The world is a scary place.
Wars and evil are commonplace.
Childhood is where it all starts.
Let them enjoy the arts.
Let them dream.
Let them balance on the high beam.
Let them explore the sciences around.
Give them music so they'll sing a loud sound.
Give them drumsticks to click and clank.
Give them mathematics by handing them a piggy bank.
Teach them the ways of the past.
Let them dance and have a blast.
Let them speak their mind.
Give them pets so they'll be kind.
Let them draw a colorful cartoon.
Fill them with curiosity about the moon.
Give them water toys so they'll squirt.
Hug them close when they hurt.
They make mistakes that we often suture.
Our children are the future.

Osmosis

Take a half pickle and stick it in a glass.
Fill it with water that is pure.
The pickle fills with more water mass.
It's bigger and juicier for sure.
Now make a glass of water and salt,
And add the other half pickle.
The veggie sags and it's all my fault.
Science makes my laugh box tickle.

Goodnight, Prom People!

It is a magically colorful and bright night.
We dress up. Mom's dress is a pretty sight.
We drive to the Prom to dance and eat.
There are so many glorious people to meet.
Of course, the party truly begins when I arrive.
We enter the pillars and hear a pianist play live.
The women swoon at the sight of me.
I wave back and giggle at the lovely ladies, teehee!
I walk and talk while lights glitter around.
I prance and dance at the hip-hop pop surround sound.
The oatmeal cookies and strawberry shortcake
Are yummy, and so is the grape slushy I take.
I dance and dance and dance.
I glance at the romance as we all dance in this ballroom expanse.
To my left and right, pictures flash
It is now the time that I shall dash.
I yawn and rub my tired eyes.
When we have fun, time flies.
Make good decisions and don't stay out too late tonight.
Prom people, goodnight!

Word of the Week: Sphere

A ball is a sphere,
And so is the sun.
We have a soccer ball here,
We kick it to have fun.
Spherical planets revolve.
The volume is four over three
times pi times "r" cubed. Now solve!
An eye is spherical. Don't you see?

Opportunity

When a door closes shut,
Another opens up wide.
It could be a sad time, but
Don't let that pride hide.
Open that door up explore.
To life, there is certainly more.

Goal

Fulfill all but one need,
So that desire you will continue to feed.
Try your best and one day you will succeed.

Word of the Week: Kitty

A kitty is a ball of fluff,
That meows and stuff.
It tries to be all tough,
But you call it's bluff.
With a mouse it's rough
It yawns after playing enough.

Hump Day

The morning is orange, pink, and yellow.
Outside my window is a blue jay.
The butterflies flutter and in the distance, I hear a cello.
Happy hump day!
May the rest of our week be mellow.
