Daydreaming

No poem last week, too busy driving
The two day trek to Vermont, where I'm now thriving

Gardening, canoeing, and writing galore
How I'll spend my summer, of that I am sure

Our shack up here we've named Daydream Cottage
Hubby and cat and I love it a lottage

The porch is where I'm at most of the time
Watching ducks and loons, all most sublime

The internet is hit or miss, with no TV at all
So much seclusion and quiet. I'm having a ball!

Chihuahua Dreamin'

Hubby say I've gone completely ga-ga
Because I really, really want a chihuahua

Friends warn me they go yippity-yappity
But I've never heard even one go zippity-zappity

What simply can't be variable
I want a dog that's completely carryable

And a chihuahua's demeanor seems so happy-go-lucky
Even around great big dogs, they are rather plucky

But Betty the cat insists our house will not hold
Both her and a tail-wagging creature so bold

So alas my chihuahua remains just a wild hope
Until one day still dogless, I won't be able to cope

Shine On, Super Moon

A late night stroll on Charleston Battery
Curious to see the lunar perigee

Less scientific folks called it a super moon
I hear it won't happen again anytime soon

Too bad, since it was a downright lovely sight
And a real fun way to spend Saturday night

The winds and waves in Charleston Bay
Were also worth noting, and I must say

Thanks, Man in the Moon, for smiling on us all
The whole city at the waterfront, having a ball
