Mammogram

I prepared my body for the test,

the one where they would squeeze my breast,

apologizing for fear, discomfort, and the rest,

assured it would be for the best.

Yes, a little angst within my mind,

yet sure the nurse and doctor would be kind,

confident of positivity in my soul,

projecting certainty, that’s how I roll.

So let me now my report conclude,

There was never a need to brood,

nor foolishly to self-delude.

I put myself at total ease,

denying the existence of disease,

surfaced my favorite happy dude,

the one with an attitude 

of graceful, confident gratitude,

rewarded on this photographic day

with results of yes!, hip hip hooray!

Snow (a triolet)

 Snow


The only snow I see is on tv.

Shoveling for me is just old hat,

and that’s the way it ought to be.

The only snow I see is on tv,

a fact that truly pleases me.

I plan to always keep it like that.

The only snow I see is on tv.
