They Are In No Position To Judge

No position to judge

THEY ARE IN NO POSITION TO JUDGE

The pregnant giraffe that I have been obsessed with since last fall still hasn’t given birth.

Apparently they misjudged her due date.

They misjudged it by a long shot.

I still follow her on YouTube every day.

The Grown Sons continue make fun of me.

They say they could just upload any old video of a giraffe birth.

“Seen one, you’ve seen ‘em all,” they say with callous, youthful indifference.

But I’ve grown attached to Johari.

I want to see HER baby, not any old YouTube clip.

Besides, the Grown Sons have been known to watch videos of other people playing video games.

They are in no position to judge.

The Weather is Starting to Say Spring

Spring

The weather is starting to say Spring.

But the calendar still says Winter.

The early morning sun now shines brightly on my kitchen floor.

And illuminates the fact that I really need to mop.

I’m not thrilled with this turn of events.

On This Day in History

On This Day

On this day in history…

On January 29, 1845, The Raven was first published.

It’s my favorite Poe story.

Quoth The Raven, “Nevermore.”
