Bob, I believe you, but my spouse doesn’t. My spouse said until I see the poetry am going to not believe. My spouse said Sue is short for Elizabeth. Don’t ask me to explain. I know not where that came from. Still is saying Sue is short for Elizabeth. Wait, there is more. Oh, code name. Saying past code name was Sue for Elizabeth. Don’t ask me where that came from. My spouse is with the government. Always tells me, I am here to help. Then all heck breaks loose. Bob, my apology, I believe you.

As Long As I Live

In one of my first adventures,
I traveled as a fox,
I then became a cat or two,
(I think outside the box!)

Of course, back in my caveman days,
So much I did not know!
The warm inviting firelight,
The cold, warmth-drinking snow.

As Robin Hood, my Merry Men,
Could entertain me well,
In hidden bowers of the wood,
Where I and they did dwell.

I didn’t like the dying,
But that’s a part of life.
You take the bitter and the sweet,
And struggle with the strife,

For this is why you’re living,
Here in the folded lands,
The flat landscape that opens up,
Uncovered by your hands.

Transferring wisdom through those funnels,
You call eyes into your head,
To give you memories of past lives,
As gifts of what you’ve read.

For now the thousand lives I’ve led,
Inure me to some pain,
Those joyous friends I will not see,
Unless I read again,

Yet still they wait, on dusty shelves,
For other eyes than mine,
Like goblets for the next to taste,
Their own first sips of wine.

“Sue is short for Elizabeth.” Is that where you got the sue somebody if you break a tooth on a cream puff? Saints protect us. Let us call a moratorium on all but not limited to the suing, the elizabething, the teeth, the cream puffs, the mints, the possums....
