SiGnS….signs, everywhere a sign

Thought I was crazy
gone blind as a bat
but I want a car
in a color like that,
carnival cotton in green, pink and blue
and beneath it the rust
would never show through.

We sat at the light
talking this and some that
and right there before us
I saw the word bat,
I wondered ’bout gators
since we have in this state
an abundance of nasties
that must be in need of escape,
but snakes I can see,
and the others, yes too…
but now I can’t go
in the yard in the dark
’cause the zombies are here….
and it’s those most I fear.

What of the birds
who pay no mind,
perhaps a bite of tail feathers
and a loss of behind?

In fun jest today, thinking I’m beginning to be channeling my buddy Graeme https://wordpress.com/read/blogs/26291808/posts/11835
(don’t worry, he’s not dead….he just liked one of my comments so still alive)
rhyming and timing and silly is she (is what he may say)…
okay…I’m done, I promise. Signs found at carwash, Punta Gorda pond and today at the red light in Venice FL. I tried to preview this and my links aren’t showing….sigh….perhaps I shall try….again.

She sits
Waiting
Watching
Whatcha doing
The eyes say
The mouth moves
Chewing air
Can I help?
Got anything for me to do?
Can I help?
Whatcha got there?
She’s a dedicated follower.
Step over to
Reach the destination,
Not moving
Not moving,
Bacon sizzles
Drool runs down,
Empty mouthed dog
Dedicated follower
Of cooking.

Thoughts on the dog as bacon smells fill the air,
As broccoli gets chopped,
Doesn’t matter,
She is there….
Just in case
To clean the floor.

Useless thoughts and Mondays

I should be sitting here singing about the carpenters
Although not a raindrop in the sky this Monday,
Sitting at my desk listening to some Floyd,
The pink variety, dark side of the moon,
Should be dark side of the mood.
But I am gonna sit here
Whiling away my time
Like Groundhog Day
Doing the same thing I did Thursday
Over again once more,
Because what was good last week
Has now been changed
By the charming fellas
I answer to

I told the professor I could see trough the suits,
The words from forked tongues
Now I know why I am humming
Lies lies lies from the Thompson twins
(Which were a much more attractive and fun bunch than those shown above)
But alas, told one thing
Then told something else
When the truth comes out
I can’t stop laughing.
They look at me shocked
And I hide my mirth
When it’s just yet another day at work,
But I am smiling
Because I create my destiny of mood,
And am not gonna let this bunch bring me down.
Five days and counting,
Less than that now,
Singing about smoking cigarettes and watching
Captain kangaroo ……although haven’t smoked in years,
Just singing to myself
Like the happy girl I am,
And doing this job over and over again.
I think a little more sugar is called for, anyone have a donut???

Any ideas for the next song?
