REMINDER: On Thanksgiving we’ll be treated to a poem by J. Patrick Lewis. I’ve invited all poets who would like to share their own Thanksgiving poems to be ready on Thursday. I hope to see a good collection posted that day!

Hi everyone,
Rob Shepperson is back with another delightful drawing that wants a clever caption. Take a look at this and tell us what’s going on! My thanks to Rob for his ever present humor that adds pleasure to any day. Rob has partnered with others besides me, including award winning Carolyn Coman and J. Patrick Lewis. I’m including some links to help you get there faster to learn more about this talented artist. Rob’s drawings of humans and animals can also be seen in newspapers such as The Wall Street Journal. He is a graduate of the Kansas City Art Institute, and lives in Croton on Hudson, New York.

How about a couplet for this one?
It’s all in the timing
In music and rhyming.
Hi Jane,
Thanks for getting things started, and in a couplet yet!
Tiiiiiiiiimmmmmmeeeeeeee’sssssss up! See you next week.
“Any time you want to begin, Adelaide. I’m not holding this baton for my health.”
Fifty-nine seconds to 3:00, fifty-eight seconds, fifty-seven…
Time to start
time to play
BLOW THE HORN!!!
How much longer can I wear these earplugs without damaging my ears?
OR
I should have bought the earplugs with the 2 hr guarantee.
OR
Only 30 minutes to happy hour…
Uh-oh…look at the time…from here on out, just play every other note.
That’s five minutes, Sally…not five minuets.
or
Oh, my aching trombones, time’s crawling!
-Oops, Standard Time, I forgot.
(sotto voce: Thank God!!! )
-Time may stand still
but not a minute more
will my throb-bones stand
. . . for THIS!
-Time flies when you’re having fun.
Clearly, Time’s not!
…. and neither am I.
- I’m getting too old for this…
Heaven help us.
