Tea Party

One fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish

Lisa continued her count. The words were from her favorite Dr. Seuss book and she was proud to have learned most of it by heart.

Here’s one for you, Dolly. And, here’s another for you Mr. Bear. I love our tea parties, don’t you? Here, let me pour you another cup of tea.

Hoppity! Miss Jingles! Come to the table now. It’s time for tea.

One fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish.

Downstairs in the kitchen Papa lifted the lid of the box and asked, “Did they forget the anchovies again?”

Sniff

Sa-a-a-ad movies always make me cry . . .

I think Hallmark does it on purpose . . . the seasonal movies tug and tug at the heartstrings – and then the waterworks start. It’s bad enough that I cry while watching Hallmark commercials.

No, not really complaining. I knew it would happen and still turned to the channel featuring Christmas in November. And, yes, I loved it.

It helps that I love, love, LOVE Sam Eliot. Sigh.

Unseemly Questions

November 28th, 2010 / Categories: Moose Nuggets / 3 Comments »

Would it be unseemly
for me to kiss you?
for me to enjoy your caress?
for me to want even more?
for me to love you less today
than I will love you tomorrow?

Would it be unseemly
for me to shed my cares
when in your presence?
for me to shed my modesty
when facing your eyes-
your desire each night?

Would it be unseemly
or simply a matter of
Loving
of growing old together
of joyous abandon
a sign of us being ONE?

Would it be unseemly
to not care
what others might
think
what others might
see?

Sister Maureen’s Lament

November 26th, 2010 / Categories: Moose Nuggets / 2 Comments »

The nun’s glasses had again slipped down her nose. A group of tittering students called attention to it as she overheard one remark; “Sister’s looking down her nose like she thinks she’s better than us.”

Sister Maureen stepped away from the cheeky teen girls.

“Little twits”, she thought. “I AM better than you – if my father had not decided I had a heavenly calling I’d be married now and living in luxury. Instead I must witness your unseemly giggles and snide comments daily.”

Maureen sighed, adjusted her glasses, rang the bell and called the girls back in for afternoon studies.
