Abby, Hope all's still well and life's too good for poetry. just want to say that I like 'Kitchen Table Poems' I like the title and the text. The text was somehow bleak without being cold, an expression of not much happening and a longing without sounding like there's a dullness in the room. The place was charged. Very good writing, good style...thanks.

Okay - I think Graham is selling kitchen tables but I like Graham as he has very kindly lifted these to the top again.

Where did his message go?

Lefty loose-y, Righty tight-y
the ones with money, are the mighty.

Money gives the wherewithall
to not allow men to fall
into traps that isolate
those who need and those whose fate
is gifted by the common sense
of thrift and work and recompense,

everyone is so good to me. the daughter runs into the laundry room and gets to work..
Son #1 will do something hunky.. carry something or mop the floor... getting ready.

i love our kitchen/ dining room table and we all love to save money... and be together.. sounds idyllic> no?

We sit pleasantly and enjoy each other,
discussing what we learned that day, our friends, our hopes and plans.

We almost always have company and teach them good manners. I am appalled at the lack of civility - especially with the girls... the boys are as charming as can be. His mrs. S**** how are you today? what's for dinner?

I have been a useless piece of toast as far as work goes. my brain mets allow me to stand and somehow decide where to go next. I try to never complain... the kiddies try so hard.

so much for a rhyming poem. I guess i have lost that capacity... altho i don't want to roam
when i come home
from a day of shopping with son #2 who is now my chaffeur. i guess one can only spend so much time ate Sam's club... the hub of all commercial spending. Maybe we'll go my arab place today... a rather exotic mecca rather than the hub of commercialism.

Did i tell you I got canned from my Sunday organ job? I guess I was getting paid too much,.. too much mileage money.

Hi Abby - It really was somebody trying to sell furniture/tables or at least get you to click a link to that would take you to a furniture page.

I like my kitchen table too Apple. we don't have a dinning room table so that's where we eat, we play board games there as well.
Sounds like your kitchen has been a hub of social activity, a place to really connect with each other, it also sounds like you've raised some great kids who are a fantastic support to you.

stripes of green and red and white
colors of the Italian flag
marzipan mixed with flour butter and egg white
covered with dark chocolate
they are tedious to stir and press into plates
then cut into squares
