Poems, Part 1

I have, in the past, amused myself by writing bits of mediocre poetry. I just found one of my poems and thought I would share it. At SDCH we had hand sanitizer dispensers by our med carts and when they were empty we would send a computer help desk request to get them refilled. I sent this help desk one day at work. Other poems I have written (odes to the lymphatic system and the repo man) will have to wait until I am at the other computer where they are stored. Anyway, enjoy if possible.

Sanitizer, why no flow?

We must to housekeeping go

And beg their aid. Oh, what to do?

Is our joyous cleansing through?

Send a help desk! Send it stat!

They'll be here in no time flat.

They'll refill with sparkling eyes,

And we all will recognize

That all housekeepers here do merit

Chocolate pie (but will they share it?).

Just Desserts

Yesterday, Alison and I went to Yogurt Stop in Syracuse for some mid-afternoon dessert. Alison got a Wild Berry/Tart mix with blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, granola, and vanilla wafers. I, perhaps lacking somewhat in native sweetness, got Red Velvet (tastes like chocolate cake batter) with gummy bears, Reeses peanut butter cup, Reeses pieces, Snickers, Swedish fish, peanuts, peanut butter chips, Butterfinger, hot fudge, and marshmallow cream. In retrospect, I should have added some jelly beans. Nuts.
