Poem #24 - Another Cold Day

This is one cold April month,
We are on the summer hunt,
For a little bit of sun,
A little less of the rain run.

Poem #23 - Plugged In Laptops

Some people like to keep,
Their laptops plugged in so long,
Thinking the laptop will never weep.

Overworked is the laptop with electricity,
When unplugged,
It sighs as if free.

Being plugged in twenty-four/seven,
Makes its life short,
And trust me,
This laptop's destination is not heaven.

So, take the suggestion to let it run on battery,
It will prolong its life,
You just see.

The End.

Poem #22 - Six Days Behind with Poems

Six days I am with poems behind,
Please do not be unkind,
I have been pre-occupied,
Just a bit,
But let me use my evening ounce of wit,
To play catch-up tonight,
Even if it leads up to next day's
Sunlight.

Poem #21 - Hair Wash

How often should one wash one's hair,
To make it clean and fair?

Some people say once or twice a week is enough,
But I find it rather tough,
To leave it unwashed for the remaining days of the week,
So I go out more often and seek,
My bottle of shampoo,
To give my hairdo,
A little extra lather,
Cause I would rather,
Have that extra cleanly care,
For the roots of my hair.

Poem #20 - What I'm Doing Right Now

What am I doing right now?
Well, it's nothing that warrants
A wow.

I'm sipping on green tea ginger ale,
While reading my email.

My iPod is playing "Monster" loud and clear,
My neighbors must be thrilled to be living so near,
To good tunes they are exposed this evening,
Perhaps they will get into the mood to sing.

Poem #19 - The Overrated Salad Bar

People claim they are eating healthy food,
By stopping by the salad bar,
And ingesting all that is good.

However, are salad bars truly what they claim?
Giving themselves a healthy name?

The dressings for one,
Sure have calories,
A ton.

Then there are the cheeses,
With saturated fat,
Which won't help you fly gracefully,
As a bat.

Lowering the amounts of these two,
Will help you feel like brand new.
As a replacement,
Adding to the salad mix,
A little grilled food
Would provide a better
Balanced fix.

Poem #18 - Peter Reckell / Bo Brady

"Days of Lives" is a favorite soap opera of mine,
Enjoyable to watch,
It is like well-aged wine.

Peter Reckell is on this show,
Which every housewife would certainly know,
Since the 1980s playing Bo Brady,
A character of much integrity,
And absolutely nothing shady.

A kind and decent cop,
His performance has always been one of the top.
As he grows older,
His look keeps getting better and bolder.

A difficult life he has had,
Making many viewers feel very sad,
But his inner strength has been inspiring,
Nothing one would ever find tiring.

Bo was paired for many years with Hope,
A disgustingly boring choice,
To which I say "Nope."

Now Carly is back,
No more does the chemistry lack,
For soulmates are Bo and Carly,
I promise you,
You will see,
It's not just me.

At 1pm on week days,
See how this couple brings the sun rays,
To the TV screen big or small,
This pair will certainly have a marvelous ball.

So I do keep my fingers crossed,
That this pair is lasting,
And that this love shall never be lost.

The End
