Never go to bed mad. Stay up and fight. ~Phyllis Diller, Phyllis Diller’s Housekeeping Hints, 1966

Sometimes I wonder if men and women really suit each other. Perhaps they should live next door and just visit now and then. ~Katherine Hepburn

A Celebration Day

*

*

It would be easy just to say

That this is us on any day.

But wiser souls than I would laugh

And interrupt on your behalf.

Your bed is roses some would say

But how do flowers find their way

To piles of grass and new mown hay?

And how did I the regal power

End up on the couch this hour?

And where’s the love that shines above?

Where is the woman I do love?

And where is something I can eat

And must I sleep with these cold feet?

Perhaps there will be time again

When I can call you my best friend.

Oh, I have gone and hurt your heart

And caused this fiery sky to start.

Yes! There is beauty on display

But this is not a celebration day!

If I was a fish in the sea

I would love to be

Right next to thee.

Nibbling at your toes

Peaking at your nose

Moving down to see

Your beautiful

Round

Knee.

Tiger, tiger such a fright

You have given me tonight.

I thought to take a little walk

And here you come

As if to talk.

Please pretend you

Do now know

My heart

Is wishing you would go.

Your eyes are bright

They so delight

Our need for color

Grace and light.

But not for what

I see inside

When hunger strikes

On this most lovely,

Lovely night.
