How about a couple of recent poems?

Yes, That’s Her All Right

Executes missteps and blunders
Flawlessly
Knows a thing or two about sinking a boat
Thoroughly
If she says
I’ll make some magic happen
you can be sure
a supernatural slip and fall lawsuit
will follow
But when
the only pigeon in town has just
Splat
added a lot of extra pattern to her green-blue dress
You see why I love her no matter what –
How many people do you know
who can curse and belly laugh in one breath like that?

shopping bags and purse
well-written grocery list
park close to the store
shopping cart no-wobble wheels
tonight’s dinner coming up
