The Inadvertent Farmer

A Poem about Rain and Hanky Panky

Its March in the Northwest...its gonna be wet!

Its soggy and drippy, on that you can bet.

 

I've got moss on my back and webs in my toes

I've got flat lifeless hair and rain on my nose

 

What's there to do when you're bound to the house?

Hubby suggests hanky panky with spouse!

 

Ok that is fun but I long for the soil...

I miss my sweet garden in which I do toil.

 

I want to be growing some good things to eat

Like carrots and corn and even a beet!

 

But the rain keeps on falling and everything's icky

The garden is soggy, drenched and quite sticky.

 

So 'til my old tiller can get some more traction

Guess my sweet hubby will be getting more action!

 

 

A Poem about Snot...again

 

So here I am again...

"Hi"

"Anyone out there?"

"Testing, testing..."

"Is this thing on?"

*

I love my dear children...really I do.

But one of my children said...

"I'll share this with you!"

He sneezed in my face and blew snot on my cheek...

I'm destined for sickness the rest of the week.

I also must tell you,  it went in my mouth.

And from that moment on it all headed south....

 

So no witty banter or pictures of stuff.

My eyes are all watery, my throat is all rough.

My fingers are typing yet my mind is a haze...

Looks like it will be one of those days.

 

So goodbye dear readers I hope to get well.

To come back tomorrow with a story to tell.

Cause stories I've got of camels in trailers.

Of children in stores and grumpy retailers.

Of crafts we have done and recipes cooked

I've got lots of goodies...the whole week is booked!

 

So come back real soon to visit me please.

 I'll promise this oath...

On you I'll not sneeze!

This is a poem I published exactly this time last year...

So I guess this is becoming a unwelcome yearly tradition!

Ughhhh!

A Garden in Snow is Pretty you Know!

OK folks, let's get this snow on the road!

Yes I do crack myself up...why?

As pretty as a garden is in summer it has an unique beauty when covered in snow.

So lovely it makes me break out in verse.

Sorry...

There's snow in the garden and I think that's just great.

It has covered the ground and it has covered the gate.

The weeds look so pretty adorned in fresh snow.

Even the ones that I missed in Autumn's last mow.

 

Forgotten tomatoes still hang on the vine.

I missed a few pumpkins...

I actually missed nine!

So while we are playing snow coveres our noses.

Which is darling on kids...

And just stunning on roses!

 

Snow's even lovely on a plain piece of grass.

Much prettier than there on my camel's big...

Well, you know...

 

 

 

 

 

Purple Love Poem

  Purple

Purple is the color of love,
 Purple is the color I dream of.
Purple is the color of passion,
Purple is the latest fashion.
Purple is the color of glad,
Purple is the best color they had.
Purple is the color of laughs,
Purple is what he said on my behalf.
Purple is the color of me,
Purple is the best, you see.

Farm Cat Poetry

I'm Chester the cat and I live on a farm.

I'm humble and handsome and full of sweet charm...

I bound through the fields with kitten like glee.

I hide among flowers stalking each honey bee...

I sleep and I eat and I chase mousies all day.

When they see me coming they've nothing left but to pray...

A cat in the country...yeah its good to be me!

So goodbye for now I've got a mousy to see...

Just in case any of your were wondering how my oldest son's cat was adjusting to farm life...

A Summer Poem about Green Feet

Summer is here which could mean anything.

From weeding, to watering, to harvest full swing.

But even more summery than my green garden hose.

Is to look down and see those little green toes.

When I watch them run 'round on little green feet.

I know in my heart that our summer's complete!

 

You know when its Spring,a Friday Funnies Poem

Your know that its spring when your open the door

And your youngest of children eat lunch on the floor!

All laughter and smiles with tons of great fun

All thanks to the rare thing 'round here called the sun!

So welcome dear springtime I'm glad you've arrived...

So my dear little children keep their messes outside!

PS...

Your know spring has sprung when again I am seeing

A little boy hero from the porch who is peeing!

Happy Friday all!

a Fever Dentist Poetry and Computer Glitches

I had big plans for today...BIG

I was going to post my top 10 very favorite, love them so much, photos of 2009.

I was going to get up early and post.

Wellllllll...

Baby Boy woke up around 10pm last night with a fever.

He was up till past 2am.

We slept on the couch till 7am when Sweet Girl got up and wanted breakfast.

I dutifully directed her to the bananas and chocolate milk....

Baby boy soon after woke up and wanted oatmeal.

I got some toothpicks and propped my eyelids open and made oatmeal...with apples and raisins no less.

I plopped the kids in front of PBS to write the post to share my photos and...

DARN...

the computer with all my pics on is acting wonky and will let me on just to kick me off.

So here we are...two days left in the year and I've go nothing.

Well I suppose I could make a little rhyme...

***

The littlest prince quite sick has he gotten

Big sister is worried and thinks its quite rotten

The queen is doing all that she can

To help with the prince...her littlest man

His fever has gotten his mood in the ditch

His mother is tired, trying hard not to...Well you know

She planned great things to accomplish today

But with a feverish boy on the couch will she stay

***

So if my kid and computer are well on the mend

I'll be right back here my photos to send

I'll share my faves from throughout the year

Camels, kids, laughter and... maybe a tear

***

So there you have it, and on top of it all...

I have a dentist appointment!

Dr. thinks I need another skin graft...

Hmmm this day just gets better and better!

Cookie Tuesday

Tuesday is the day of great cookie making

To our small group we will be taking

Snowmen and stars

Angels and Cars

All manner of shape and of size

For children to make and to prize...

****

There will be frosting all over the place

On every small finger and every sweet face

There will be smiles all around

Where sugar rushes abound!

****

Wish me luck...cause no peace will I find.

Yes I am out of my mind.

You see the home where we meet

Is on my very own street...

****

These many small children are coming to me!

To frost and laugh and giggle with glee...

Fun will be had by one and by all.

By every mom and every child small.

***

I will be back when I'm done cleaning...

Frosting off every wall and every ceiling!

Water Park in December a Poem on Not Me Monday!

Due to an unexpected trip that I did not take to an indoor water park the following poem did not seep out of my rattled brain...no not me I would never!

***

My hubby decided we needed a trip.

If I had my way this trip I would skip...

Skip it I would cause it involves both of these...

Two pasty white thighs...

 and Two ghostly white knees...

Yes my sweet hubby got it into his head

That this trip would involve the thing that I dread.

I dread wearing swimsuits even in summer...

Wearing one in December is a really BIG  bummer!

As you read this dear readers I'm in a really large pool.

With my minor children and those that home school.

Yes laugh if you must, I know I would too.

Except that its me and I wish it were you!

So while kiddies are splashin' and going down slides.

Think of the middle age women that hides...

Hides in the water up to her neck.

And think to yourself  "Oh what the heck!"

"Just get out of the water and show what you've got"

Which to I reply...I've got quite a lot!

*

A lot of white skin that doesn't see sun.

I live in the Northwest from the sun I do run!

Besides I gave birth to way more  than one child

And the damage sustained is not very mild!

Now my belly is closer to jelly and jam.

So stay in the water... yes surely I am!

 In the water I'll stay, you can't make me get out.

So there I will stay and there I will pout.

*

So Next time dear hubby decides to go for a swim...

I'll be staying at home and not going with him.

For a swim in December is crazy at best.

No, I will stay home and...

I will stay dressed!

*

 

Come on over to see what else we are NOT doing!

A Poem about Snot

An Ode to Black Friday...

The alarm clock is ringing, I look at the time

Hubby rolls over..."Have you lost your mind?"

I stretch and I yawn as I crawl out of bed

I shake my head slowly...I know what's ahead.

I dress rather quickly no shower I take.

For I'm in a hurry...I know what's at stake.

I drive down my road that's yet to see dawn.

I roll down my window... still can't help but yawn.

I arrive at the lot most spots have been taken

By my fellow shoppers their sanity forsaken

They're hauling out tv's, blenders and such

That's not why I'm here...those don't interest me much

I get swept with the crowd to the back of the store

My eye on the prize...I want nothing more.

No pillows, no cd's, no tuners for me

I have come for one thing...that one thing is key

I finally spot the prize that I seek.

Without this one thing my future is bleak.

I know what you're thinkin' her heads full of rocks

She went through all this for...half price on socks!

When you have 5 dear children...and a sock monster too

There is nothing but this for a mother to do!

 

So I have gotten my socks, my mission complete

I go home again...my husband to greet

I see you've got socks and you did it again

Yes I have, it is done, its all over...amen!

 

I crawl back in bed and snuggle down deep

To dream of matched pairs on little kid feet!

 

 

Putting my Garden to Bed a Poem

 

 
 
 

My garden is sleepy so I've put it to bed.

The squash has been gathered, the pole beans are dead.

The tomatoes are gone, the sweet peppers are too

I've put down the mulch nothing's left there to do

So goodbye dear garden, I'll think of you often

Your beauty and bounty will not be forgotten

I'll see you in spring when all things are new.

So rest my dear garden under a blanket of...

Fresh camel poo!

 

 

 

I get no respect!

Friday the 13th Funnies

 

Its Friday the 13th...not a big deal

Superstitions are silly...none of them real

But I woke up this morning my computer was dead...

So I posted this post on the spare one instead.

No pictures has it, no graphics...no fun

No critters, no camel...not even a one!

So I sit here and stare at all this blank space...

Just words with no pictures I'll never embrace!

Its Friday the 13th and the sun's not yet risen

Yet its banished me to this words only prison...

 

So please visit later and do not despair

I'll surely be back with some pictures to share!

I'll give you a hint, he's his own biggest fan.

Taking over this blog is his devious plan!
