my genetic blueprint
is looking bluer today

better make some calls

Mary had a little lamb
and a small dessert
then gained another kilogram
and now can't fit into her skirt

throughout the night hours
a shuffling sound can be heard
in my dig's ceiling

I think dancing mice
are rehearsing their moves
as I try to sleep

of recent times
we've had a mouse invasion
in our small township

we're seeking trappers
to rid their big pestilence
before we're ousted

when the old guy comes out
from behind his Covid-19
mask
will he be up to the arduous
debating
task    

some say that he shouldn't
engage in the
contest
as he'd not look like he was  
at his very
best  

if he decides to concede before the
discussion
starts
he'll spare himself from upsetting
his own apple
carts

due to my dictionary
wandering about
there will be no words
for me to spout

the dash thing took
a hike out of here
where it ventured
to isn't too clear

should I not locate it
within the week
the outlook for writing
shall be bleak

I can't understand
why it left me
there was no logical
reason for it to flee

if anyone sees
a Collins Dictionary
wandering in a field
near your locality

let it know that its
owner wants it back
all will be forgiven if it gets
on the homeward  track

it will be full steam
ahead at this place
when my word reference
shows its face

They tell my generation
to stay hydrated,
after leading us on
an eighteen year journey
to a dry well.
No wonder we’re
dying off by the thousands—
a learned, unquenchable thirst
for something that doesn’t exist.
