Christmas lights

Like flickering tongues
of flame in green…blue…red. Just
plug in and enjoy.

Deal or no deal

TV’s “Fisherman
and His Wife” story for our
times. Unalloyed greed.

Survivor – Family Holidays

Two tribes – In-laws and
Parents – force you to over-
eat, then watch TV.

Unproductive

Inertia roosting
inside me like a hen un-
willing to lay eggs.

Starving writer

I really should start
dinner. But husband’s gone, so
I’ll just blog and starve.

Thanksgiving – after dinner

Post-tryptophan, we
watch Forrest Gump and digest
the day’s memories.

No reason to get up

The more I compute,
the lazier I get, and the
saggier the couch.

Time saving dinner ideas

If every meal
were cereal, we’d all have
more hours in the day.

Depression

Heavy blanket weighs
you down, yet cocoons you. Why
bother to crawl out?

Thanksgiving procrastination

Canned pumpkin sold out.
Damned overachievers! I’m
a “last-minute” type.
