There once was a lady named Myrtle
whose body was shaped like a turtle
But no one knew
Except the few
Who helped her into her girdle.

Very nice! The sound is delightful, just what the listener expects, and the punch line is entertaining.

Me too! Trying to get onto the bridge Friday night from 6 lanes of traffic squeezing onto one lane made me think of squeezing into a “too small” girdle 🙂

Frusrating, I know! For me it’s losing track of days on he calendar and trying to run to catch up. Obviously those occasions do not produce my finest poems!

Maybe when I retire I will have more time but I get bored of hearing my voice when I write more than 10 pages. In the meantime, I am considering compiling “micro stories” and haibuns I have from my other blog and another just of haiku. I want to give something to my kids.

You mean the mental voice in your head. Or do you dictate your words? I retired in 1999 and spent years doing family genealogy which was fun, but left me with a ton of pooey on my hands which I’m trying to discard before my kids get it on them! Thanks fo talking.

My mental voice…yes, if we sort our “stuff” our kids may be saved from this “stuff”.

How sad, how sad, how sad! One of the things I wish I had taught my kids is empathy. Teaching them empathy and practicing it more with them would sure have helped. Not that they’re a disappointment, but not all their edges are smooth. Of course all mine aren’t, either.

If it slips out far enough maybe you can clip it off. Just kinda joking, tho I know it’s no laughing matter.

I just had a discussion with my clinical supervisor about your book and what I have learned, that can help me be more helpful and patient with youths who reach out. I think your book is also allowing me to remember some things that worried/scared me I had forgotten. This awareness is key to be “there” for our youths.

How gratifying your reply was! You are the first blogger who’s got my book! I’m a little curious about which part was most helpful.
