Time Marches

Late summer morning
I hear drums from the high school
Time keeps marching on

Post office, 12 Noon
Sign says “Customers Only”
You park and get lunch

Here are alternate versions:

Post office, 12 Noon
Sign says “Customers Only”
He parks and gets lunch

-or-

Post office, High Noon
Sign says “Customers Only”
You park and get lunch?!

There are many more reasons. The best? Bacon is delicious.

Ice cream truck in the rain
No children want to to brave the showers
Your melody does not entice them

A national day of donuts
might bring dieters woe.
Forsaking moderation,
in my belly they will go!

It is Monday, yes
National Haiku Day, too
Count your syllables

Wind howling today

There are waves in the birdbath

We have surfing birds

Many years ago
I wore upon my feet
boots of leather
issued by Uncle Sam

He also saw to it
I had a ride
and many things to carry

My time in green
was not remarkable
or heroic
or
a cause for celebration

I was like so many
I served
I left
I remembered

I look upon those who followed
They had a harder time
I look upon those before me
They were humble heroes, too

Butternut squash bisque
Blender outsmarted the cook
Messy bisque-aster!

Freshly cleaned glasses

Windex upon spectacles

Crystal clear peepers
