Let Loose The Seuss!

More than a week has gone by and not a word on my blog,

The readers down in blog-ville were running agog.

“What could have happened to that glorious author,

was he stuck without tools, a phone, a catheter?”

Well it seems, grateful readers, that the time that doth past

was spent on quite an adventuresome repast.

Add to that a somewhat substantial workflow

It’s difficult to say where all the time go!

Vaction in Vermont, for six lovely days

It was stress-free but action packed in ways.

Daytime saw poodles and bunnies and swingsets

Hidden treasures, woods and lots of cool insects

Ice cream, teddy bears and other fun toy-sects

Mario, Luigi and “Wii would like to play”-sets.

Where evenings were more focused on the adult time

Nice vino, good dinner and…well a whole lot more wine

We talked, shared stories, forgot the daily grind

We even saw an ‘80s band that knew Simple Minds!

But then later, we would break into my favorite libation

A bubbly amber substance from some foreign nation

And at times like these as everyone knows it

You break out the Wii for a few laughs and how goes its

Alas, all this ends when you must finally return

To face that dreaded ogre that is work and your churn.

The 5 hour drive does not help in the little

Knowing soon you’ll be attached to a desk by the middle.

But you Bloggers must be wondering, “why he doth rhyme

Like some two-bit hawker seeking a dime.”

Well it seems that the only way my daughter would sleep

Is to tell her a rhyming story to help earn my keep.

And in that store, what was found, soon to be my noose?

Just a book, aptly named, “A Hatful of Seuss”

So Sneetches, and Ooblocks and Zax’ do beware

My rhyming, my timing, and whining is clear.

Finally a post, though no update is new

At least it’s different than Horton Hears A Who!

But the blog watchers in Blogville would soon look askance

If I didn’t say something regarding my stance.

Numbers stay good, my feet still circumstance

I don’t believe I’ll soon be attending the dance

But Hellboy remained absent (at least at first glance)

And thanks to “UPS Bill” for keeping meds in presence

That’s it for now, my tongue be doth tied

Arrivederci, Sayonnara, Adios and good byed!
