You are all heart,
Duty keeps us apart,
Still at that silly stage,
Write your love on my page,
True hero to all,
Love keeps me in thrall,
You are my one, you see,
Gold your soul, praising thee!

Winter's cast frozen
Eyes, shivers, coughs no surprise,
Weak groans, hope's demise......

Voted recently,
Grubberment's hot air balloons,
Blind faith--each way bet!

Spectre, South Pole's chills,
Frost clawing at window sills,
Vague fears, old age thrills....

Label each other,
What a witch! Just like mother,
Genes passed to smother.

The muse has no hushing,
My voice needs no shushing,
A baby boomer scribbling,
At my brain, muse nibbling,
Cool to create,
Thoughts I relate,
While world is yawning,
I write in the morning,
Verbose or terse,
My muse here in verse!

Teaching was so full of fun,
Before these emails had begun,
Class was toiling one day,
Doorknock, answer right away,
Despite my scholars' pleading,
Switched them all to silent reading,
Vital, sign your name, X or Y,
Choose one, class did sigh,
Who won that football game?
Who came third, who's to blame?
Sign  your name, you see,
X means you teach literacy,
Star, you can teach the IRA,
You passed this test today,
Chalkies look back at this,
Fun for older teaching Miss!
