In the Mirror

My, what

opposable thumbs

I have…

All the better

to make tools with,

my dear.

And what big

eyes I have…

All the better

to empathize and

covet with, my dear.

I say “ahhhhhh”

and wag my jaw

like a puppet…

I see canines

to the nines.

My jaw is

meant to tear

as well as grind.

Ah-hah!

Plus a tear

is like being

on a tear,

while grinding

is such a grind.

Note: On average I endeavor to eat one vegan, one vegetarian and one meated meal a day. This provides a huge variety of options, preserves our 36-year marriage, and delivers well-balanced nutrition and longevity.
