Colloquy
If you want to float my boat, when you speak your piece,
know when you have made your point and preserve the peace
by resisting going on once you’ve reached your peak.
It’s always best to stop and give others time to speak.
It’s often a consensus that brings matters to right.
Like oil on fire, those who know it all only ignite
conflagrations that make bringing matters to a close
impossible as they attempt their theories to impose.
As tempers flare and anger mounts and epithets are hurled,
as in a drive-by shooting, rank chaos is unfurled.
Pure reason makes its calm retreat, waiting for the day
when each one speaks and then allows others to have their say.
For The Sunday Whirl Wordle 585 the prompt words are: boat preserve speak resist oil fire drive fly shoot matter close right.

Fallen Woman
Sam has asked what tree we would choose to be and perhaps this is fudging a bit, but this is a poem I wrote a few years ago about the tree I am no doubt fated to become:

I find it hard to decide whether
I can stand these shifts in weather.
First it’s hotter, then it’s colder.
Whichever, now that I am older,
I am entitled to complain
that I find both of them a pain!!!!

A Very Cheetos Christmas
Anyone who reads my blog regularly probably knows what a fan I am of Cheetos Torciditos. I have probably done more to promote them than anyone in my part of Mexico and I’ve addicted more than a dozen friends and caused the store right next to the Racquet Club to start selling larger bags of them. Now, if you are wondering why I am suddenly showing a bag of them on my blog, perhaps the next photo will clarify.
Two days ago a mysterious, beautifully-wrapped gift showed up under my Christmas tree. Since it was my only gift to open and so beautiful, I still hadn’t unwrapped it until today when Sergio, my next door neighbor, came over to borrow chairs and TV trays for his party. He insisted I open it, but the wrappings are shown below.
Now, if you take a less closeup view of my bag of Cheetos, you can see that it is a very large bath towel with an image of a bag of Cheetos Tordicos on it. It turns out that they went to a lot of work to locate it in Liverpool, where they were sold out, and finally located it on the internet. They know me so well. Not only is this my favorite food on Earth, but I have been looking in vain for a full-sized towel to use in the pool.
Thanks once again to the best neighbors ever––David and Sergio.
They threw a great party as well, where I wore my Cheetos towel as a cape, looking like some sort of Cheese Curl Avenger. Photos to follow.
This is me, trying to show my cape but unable to figure out how without turning it around backwards. I might have figured out a better way if it hadn’t been for the sangria…Happy Boxing Day, Everyone!!!
