Spiral Ham

Not the ham lover my sister Ellen was, Trying to honor my Yiddish grandmother, Christians think all humanity EVERYWHERE follow their edicts, So even at non secular food banks they only give out Ham or turkey, Not hitting you the turkey would have put any Jack Cratchet from Charles Dickens ‘The Christmas Carol ‘, to

Seven or nearly sixty-five

Three months and twenty days, I’m never going to be one of those old ladies, Died twice in two fourteen, I had no choice in returning or not, But I will next time, My youngest nephews all I got, That’s right no family! Two years since Ellen’s memorial, I need to do what needs to

Intuition

Wonder how much thought becomes intuition? Let’s examine Playdough, Mom had a recipe for eatable, But I bet the thinker was having some hard constipation before the inspiration dawn upon him or her which ever the case might be, When I busy in the smallest room in my home I just want to be done,

Family

Tall, Short, Blonde, Not, Blue eyed, Green, Yellow, Glowing, Young , Old, All prefer meals out of the kitchen, Unique, Or strange, Or maybe its just our way, In the kitchen its eating at home, In my office, On a box of books, Or in my chair, Its not as good as in someone elses
