Shall I read a good book
Or, take a long ride?
Maybe stop at Millers
Fora snack on the side

I’ll check out the homes
As I pass each one by
Oh there’s a beauty
But the price is too high

No matter, I say
As I continue along
Forgetting those finances
Even singing a song

It does me so good
To get out and just roam
I always feel better
When it’s time to go home

For on the seat beside me
I’ve got a great book
With no one at home
Won’t even have to cook

So I’ll finish my day
That waas made just for me
Reading and sipping
A cold glass of tea

Just like sweet Scarlett
Without a hint of sorrow
Those dadburn finances
I’ll think of tomorrow

Well shucks, folks, I had to come to the party.

Oh, and Gramma Jac inspired the video idea, but that may have been obvious = )

Actually Former, after posting the video link I wondered if I should, or could, redo the opening verse to Perfect Day. I of course remembered your poetic efforts in the past here in Bloomr-land and thought ‘why not’ !! If LB can do it, why can’t I at least give it a shot !? Honest. I forgot to make big the ‘Y’ in the first ‘you,’ but I’m guessing, hoping it still communicated.

And congrats on safely delivering an eight pound meatloaf, Tori !! I’m sure the rest of the fam is thrilled with the new addition to the clan as well = )

I liked yours, too, jonny! It’s very “Rockstar-ish”. Mine is very “smart aleck-ish”.

Okay, if jonny can write poetry here, why can’t I? Especially since I’m bored to tears tonight. This is for you, Tori!

Today, this day, I’ll do what I please,
I’ll wander, and drive, and follow a breeze.
Perhaps I will find an great house I can buy,
And no one will take it, and it won’t make me cry!
Or a place with some books, standing up in a row,
And I’ll read and I’ll browse…. find cool things to know.

And hopefully come to a nice place to eat,
Oh glorious flavorful black-eyed peas!
Some hoe cakes, all cooked to southern perfection,
Surely angels guided me in this direction!
To wash it all down, it can only be
The sweet amber glow of a glass of iced tea.

But sooner or later, sadly I find
I’ve suddenly regretfully run out of time.
I turn toward home, put my foot to the metal,
The day’s almost ending, there are things to settle.
Like forms and questions, and numbers and things,
The details that living and loving brings.

But I am refreshed, I feel like I’m new.
Renewed by a day with not much to do!
It’s time to look forward….honor one that I love,
Find a knockout dress to wear to the Doves!
It can’t be too flashy, too daring, too short,
The academy would never approve of that sort!
But it has to be gorgeous, strike just the right chord..
Cause this body is my “Lifetime Achievement Award”!

(I told you I was bored. Forgive me.)

Oh how I wish I could lock myself away in a library for days on end…
But I do have one question regarding the veggie plate? What vegetable is show that appears to have whipped cream and a cherry on top? Maybe that would be the way to get my family to eat more veggies.

That made me smile (as did jonny’s lyrical adaptation)!

jonny — Thu, 29 Mar 2012 14:25:25 +0000

Just a perfect day
With my library I’ll start
And then later, when it gets dark, I’ll go home

Just a perfect day
Enjoying the country hew
Then later a veggie plate too, and then home

Oh it’s such a perfect day
I’m glad I spent it with you
Oh such a perfect day
You just keep me hanging on
You just keep me hanging on

What a pleasant day you had! And after navigating the ridiculously complicated world of college financial aid and scholarships, you needed the break! And lunch out is always a good idea. Is that black-eyed peas and hoe cakes?

I spent my day fashioning a doll out of old rags and naming it “Allstate”…..so I can stick pins in it tonight. (That’s not very spiritual, is it. Sorry.)
