A Quiet Abode
Our house nowadays is a quiet abode
Even sassy little Iko forgets to bark
I’m usually upstairs revising an ode
Our house nowadays is a quiet abode
At home in her kitchen, Katja cooks a la mode
Cuisine de Francaise, her trademark
Our house nowadays is a quiet abode
Even sassy little Iko forgets to bark
Mozart in the Jungle
“Mozart in the Jungle,” our favorite new show
Katja loves it as much as raspberry wine
Conductor Rodrigo, so kooky, you know
“Mozart in the Jungle”, our favorite new show
Newcomer Hailey practices the oboe
Though her teacher has said she won’t shine
“Mozart in the Jungle”, our favorite new show
Katja loves it as much as raspberry wine
The Plumber Calls
The plumber came by again last week
Of all his clientele he says we are the best
One hundred dollars, I suppressed my shriek
The plumber came by again last week
The garbage disposal had started to reek
The egg shells, the celery, the melons, the rest
The plumber came by again last week
Of all his clientele he says we are the best
Jumble Madness
My wife has gone mad for the Jumble
She tackles it first thing each morn
Though upstairs I still hear her mumble
My wife has gone mad for the Jumble
This puzzle makes both of us humble
Though I’m sad that she feels so forlorn
My wife has gone mad for the Jumble
She tackles it first thing each morn
Lil Goodies
We drive to Lil Goodies for our weekend trip
The payoff, a small softserve sundae
Katja explains that the Turtle’s most hip
We drive to Lil Goodies for our weekend trip
I order peanuts to get extra zip
Chocolate syrup is heaven, I say
We drive to Lil Goodies for our weekend trip
The payoff, a small softserve sundae
The Mice
The mice come out when we go to sleep
Scouring the counter for bread crumbs and scraps
So quiet we don’t hear a single peep
The mice come out when we go to sleep
They leave little pellets that cause some to weep
So smart, they’re not fooled by my traps
The mice come out when we go to sleep
Scouring the counter for bread crumbs and scraps
Sheltering
We’ve sheltered in place for close to a year
Though I’m glad that the shelter’s our house
Despite the ennui, we’ve had moments of cheer
We’ve sheltered in place for close to a year
Our ventures in public cause covid-ish fear
I’d rather be home with my spouse
We’ve sheltered in place for close to a year
Though I’m glad that the shelter’s our house
