I'm Not Saying

PSC / 2018

Don’t ask

who dropped these jelly beans

and scattered grassy fluff;

nor who bestrew those wrappers

from some chocolate eggs,

and peeps & stuff.

The one who frittered bunny bits

will do some piper-payin’.

And I know

just who

did these deeds,

but let’s say,

I’m not sayin’.

Pint-Sized Repudiation - PAD Day 29

Pint-Sized Repudiation

Perhaps I ought to meter

and Celsius and liter.

Mayhap I ought to

kilogram and gram,

but the fact of the matter is

I was born in the U.S.A.

and frankly, my dear,

I just don’t give a dram.

A Little Bird Told Me - PAD Day 14

photos by PSC / 2011

A Little Bird Told Me

You never want to be

accused of killing the goose

that lays the golden eggs,

nor guilty of killing two birds

with one stone,

but I promise

there’ll be a chicken

in every pot

when the chickens

come home to roost.

Whatever you do,

don’t count your chickens

before your goose is cooked,

and never put all your eggs

in one salad.

A bird in the hand is worth  

two pecks (sans bushel)

and I haven’t got a clue

why the (rubber) chicken

crossed the road.

Your guess

is as good as mime.
