My Garden

 

    There are things in my garden I never planted. Uninvited things with eyes and teeth. Crawling and jumping things that tend to hide, while others are not frightened by anything. Things that stand their ground, no matter what.

    I’m not really sure I want to go back out there.  I'm serious.

Sticker Shock

 


so on top of that you add tax, license,

and dealer prep?

Are you insane?





I was tempted

 


but then thought I better not.






Without Saying A Word


She let me know she wanted to go out.

She had enough laying around,

and she knew

I could read her thoughts.




 

I'm Not Happy


 

I've grown weary of fish.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner...

fish - fish - fish

I want something else to eat.

I've seen the tourist

having hot dogs, or tacos.

Just once I'd like to try 

something like that.

Maybe a burger.

Not really sure what that is

but why not?

and a beer.  I know for a fact

people on those boats drink beer.

I'd like to see what that taste like.

They seem happy.

What kind of person reads Zobostic's Blog?

 

They are sophisticated and discriminating, without being stuffy.

They enjoy peeling an orange, but don’t like eating them.

They would never wear tennis shoes with a bowling shirt.

They enjoy chocolate but don’t crave it.

They never have more than one cup of coffee.

They prefer vodka over gin, and lemons over limes.

They keep their opinion about facial hair and tattoos to themselves.

They find it rude to arrive late, yet they’re seldom on time.

They are not superstitious, and yet will never set a hat on a bed or walk under a black cat.

They avoid talking about the old days and refuse to speculate about tomorrow.

They don’t smoke.

They never chew with their mouth open or leave a toothpick protruding from their lips.

They felt bad when Radar announced Henry’s plane crash.

They would buy a Subaru because they like the dogs.

They look for themselves in this list.
