The Bag Lady

***

Your displeasure was not hidden

Wish I had not heard the laugh

Ridicule expressed unbidden

To your friends behind my back.

In olden days a company drafted to war

Where soldiers’ cots were an uncomfy bore

The wooden legs were sometimes weak

And the canvas was not your mother’s sheets

To fall asleep after a long day’s trek

They would ignore the morning beck

A bugle revellie toot caused them to jump

Or a Sergeant their head would thump

Waking up from a wooly blanketed bed

They ran to the chow line to be fed.

I discovered “Call the Midwife” this weekend and am delighted I have. I’ve watched most series on PBS but missed this one. It is on Netflix also.

“We’re in the thick of it now, Spock!”

“On the contrary Captain, we are in the thinnest atmosphere possible!”

“Spock, we’ve entered Klingon territory. We can expect resistance from all sides.”

“Dammit, Jim, why do you always have to interfere? Let the prisoners be!” Bones stifles himself after Scotty adds:

“I guess you’ve never had a friend rottin’ away on Rura Penthe, then, aye, doctor? A lucky man you be!”

A delivery order acquired

From an outlet previously admired

How could I have guessed

It arrived such a mess

And the food was dotty at best.

Welcome to my Sunday world. Even though it’s fifty plus degrees outside, my apartment remains a lukewarm sixty-two degrees. Every night I turn the heat down to fifty-eight so I can sleep.

My sedentary existence is always covered in a blanket so I am constantly comfy. It’s only when the Wyoming wind howls through the edges of my doors that I need the genuine article–longjohns under my clothes! 😎

Perry Como had one of the smoothest voices I’ve ever heard. Reminded of this song tonight so thought I’d share.

It’s true, you’re having fun in your element

And don’t think of them as an impediment

But in puddles, please refrain from splashing so

Those feet are big and flat don’t you know

Good for swimming but on public streets

Don’t call attention to those humongous feet!

Looking out the window pane

Looking for relief from pain

Wish I was walking on the sage-brushed plain

Or in those clouds on a plane

Mind over matter works sometimes

Wishing is a thing of rhymes

No matter if it is not true

As long as the pain eases in you.

I can contain angry thoughts at non masked fools

Putting others in danger, not following rules

Forget material things, and lift my eyes

To focus on the blue beauty of clear skies.
