No no no no no no no

Welcome SoberSue.
I am really beat today.
Mind's been kind of fried.

I bought 300
Dollars worth of groceries--
What we had was bad.

Power outage for
Sixteen hours and some change.
Stuff had to be tossed.

Myst'ry Tupperware
Unearthed and aired out to see
"Was that turkey soup?"

Cart piled to the sky--
Can't fit one more item in!
Still forgot some stuff!

Lots of meals to cook-
While I shopped things looked so good!
Eager to eat well.

Good substantial meat--
Lots of fruits and vegetables
(And some tasty starch).

I could not resist
A drawerful of snacking cheese
Plus pepperoni.

Now I'm very stuffed;
Hamburgers and spinach meal
With a special treat:

Our tenant's sister
Is an airline stewardess
Just back from Athens.

And guess what she brought?
A huge tray of baklava!
How could I say no?

i'm feeling bleary
100 degrees today
yesterday also

Gilmer

Flop out on the couch!
Crank up air conditioning!
Who'd have energy?

zerothehero

and today we have
highs in the sixties with rain
a welcome reprieve

Gilmer

I'm glad it got cool.
We started out cool here, too--
Then it hit 90.

zerothehero

i managed to get
a tan under all this fur
from walking naked

i look alright for
an aging neanderthal
but i have no butt

Gilmer

You can get implants--
That is all the rage these days!
You can be a star!

zerothehero

big show tonight but
someone stole my underwear
oh wait i found them

around my ankles
on account of asslessness
implants would be good

my back just kind of
splits at the base of my spine
becoming two legs

a belt is worthless
and velcro rips the hair out
until it's worthless

it's a conundrum
old men shouldn't sag their pants
it doesn't look right

my junk keeps my pants
from falling down though and that
keeps me out of jail

Gilmer

When I try to cook
Zany hijinks will ensue--
Run to Burger King!

zerothehero

i would steer clear of
burger sling and taco smell
and the rest of them

even bad home cooked
food is better than any
of the crap they serve

keep it simple and
keep it clean eat to live and
live to poo gf

Gilmer

I agree with you
But I am a crap addict
I need to get clean.

Carlotta

Basking in the sun
Days of booze, tears and madness
Are thankfully gone

Gilmer

Great to see you, Carl!
I am glad those days are gone.
Rather rest alone.

zerothehero

call me crazy but
things are falling into place
in a cosmic way

Gilmer

That is wonderful.
You will be in condition
To start your new phase!

zerothehero

it's a trauma thing
when everything is great i
get this sense of dread

zerothehero

i tried to change my
avatar but it seems i'm
stuck with the old tree

zerothehero

one more little road
trip before my break ends and
i'm working full time

Gilmer

Where are you going?
I hope you have a fine time
And come back all psyched.
