Wash the stinky birds
Parakeets of four remain
Three boys and one girl
Old Maw talks of old folks home
My anger tells her to stop!
First a big black one —
A bumble bee, then honey bee
Near parakeet cage
White towel with flower prints
Small sweet pea tree with flowers
Windy, clear blue sky
Then Angry Elder Maw screams
Irresponsible!
Let them die under the sun
The cause of the Old Maw’s pain
Hiding upstairs day
Nowhere to go but lay low
Typing and blogging
Nothing to say but stay still
Discovered word press dot com
Oh Joy! New hobby
Organize my blogs
Upload close to four hundred
No good! Cut and paste errors!
Fonts and colors in the way.
Phone call from BratBoy
Picked up by Old Maw screaming,
‘Flynn! It’s your BratBoy!’
Oh, BratBoy! What is it now?
Hi and goodbye: I’ll leave now.
A cash withdrawal
Late afternoon burger and pie
Fresh orange juice drink
Tall Chinese moms and their kids
Thick accents screaming at kids
Juicy hamburger
Until gray mares belly full
Apple pie from him
Another half an hour to go
Before visiting the brats
Heavy wooden pieces
Steps twenty two done halfway
Airhead not much help
Sitting around and staring
Pissing me off once again
Lifting some pieces
But nothing more could be done
Before niece walks in
Croissant tastes bad to my tongue
Talks about her new boyfriend
I stopped working hard.
After their lazy snack break,
BratBoy asks for help
Two Chinese only talking
In English and nothing more
I answered back niece
I’m older! You should help too.
Lazy broad got up.
Her attitude won’t pass me.
My first snap at those people!
She got up and tried.
Held electrical screwdriver
Gently but got up
Both Chinese scowled far away
I will not tolerate them!
Airhead talks to girl
Told my BratBoy I am leaving.
Motioned with my hands
Flapping of index and thumb
Talked to her, waved to him – goodbye
Saw Maw exercise
Silently passing by her
Didn’t say one word
Greeted parakeets a bit
And straight to the patio
Talked to Paw out back
Watering his lawn many times
About their new t.v. stand
China cabinet in height
For forty-two inch plasma
Ran upstairs again
But smelled the food from below
I could not resist
Had to bring out my own plate
Maw and I started to talk.
