Shoot the zombies
get that itch
double tap
if they twitch
Careful now
stay full of grit
BAM!
BAM!
BAM!
DON'T GET BIT!
Dodge attacks
grab ammo free
quick get away
up a tree
find survivors
flee flee flee
and..oh wait
it's bed time
yeah alright
*Turns off PC*

The hoards will have to wait for thee!

Saturday
what a day
we will be together
forever
Hooray!
(Except in the loo
that's a bit risky
how you wipe
should stay a mystery!)

Capt'n Ahoy 
let it be said!
the end is nigh
the work week has fled
Let's batten the hatches
and fasten the latches
Tis weekend lad
full speed ahead!  

Wednesday, May 28, 2025

Sometimes it seems
that all the world
is between
me
---and---
your smile.

Tuesday, May 27, 2025

My fingers are cold
and my toes are blue
but my heart is warm
cos I have you! 

*bring forth socks
bring forth tea
and warmth will flow
through the rest of me! 

Monday, May 26, 2025

There are 24 hours in a day.
No that's it
just thought I'd remind you
in case you'd forgot
being helpful!
Okay LOVE YOU
bye bye!!!

Monday
just begun day
the work day
after the fun day
But there is you
Boo
so I can make do
and pull through!
ONWARD TO HOME TIME!!!!

The middle of a weekend
it's quiet
you nap
I write
time slows 
d
o
w
n
the sound
of simple
sleepy
contentment. 

Saturday, May 24, 2025

Boo 
Boo
what shall we do
being so dang cute?
a weekend
to spend
with a beloved one to boot! 

Thursday, May 22, 2025

The problem
with loving 
the most
Fantastic
Understanding
Wonderful
Kind
Sympathetic
Supreme
human being
in existence
is that
it would be
rather hard
to find a replacement
on short notice.
So maybe don't go anywhere, okay?

There is no electricity
at home
and my fingers are freezing!
You have no heating
at work
and your fingers are freezing!
JoBren
doing things together
apart!

Off to work 
you head
while I stay
wrapped up
in my bed
I feel 
sometimes
a little sad
enjoying
this 
you never had
should I wail?
should I weep?
should I feel guil...
Oops!
I fell asleep!

*I do wish you could stay home too, but if not, I will sleep in enough for both of us!

When we do our own thing
I am alone
you are alone
never lonely.  

Monday, May 19, 2025

Sing a song of sausages
boiled in a pot 
delicious and tasty
flavourful and hot!

when the sausies were eaten
the Boo began to sing
this is a lovely dish
fit for a king! 

Ah said the Jobee
not for a king
cos compared to you
he is a lesser thing!

And so the JoBren
really loved their food
and sang very silly songs
in a very silly mood!!

Sunday, May 18, 2025

I see your back
as you sit before me
and know
how strong it is
and all it has shouldered
it is a magnificent back
I think I'll stare at it
a little bit longer. 

If others
wish to be mean
let them be mean
we cannot change them
re-arrange them
we can only be us
without fuss
and loving
regardless! 

Friday, May 16, 2025

It is Saturday
a day
of utter play
so come with me
and let's see
what mischief
we can make! 

Thursday, May 15, 2025

Buying footwear
I realize
I really do enjoy
having socks
with you! 
:P

Wednesday, May 14, 2025

It's true
my virtue
is to create:

Art
for my Boo
made of things
you chew! 

Art
to smell
and please
senses as well!

Art
inclined
to nourish body
and mind!

Art  served cold
Art served warm
Art in it's most
majestic form! 

Supper's ready!! 

Tuesday, May 13, 2025

At work
you seem
so far away
yay for emails
to pepper the day
Let's send them short
let's send them long
full of good cheer
and love that's so strong
working away
what do I see
my inbox has (1)
something for me
Small notes
with much to say
communicating
words 
thoughts 
and play
And look another
oh golly hooray
what a wonderful way
to pass the day! 

Monday, May 12, 2025

Your face
makes me smile
it's so worthwhile
to gaze at 
again and again
and again
and...again...
whether you are awake
or sleeping
unaware
of me leaning over
staring
staring
STAAAAAAAARING!!!!

* Gives a high pitched giggle and slinks off into the shadows, satisfied... for now...

Sunday, May 11, 2025

 It's 2.32 am
soon you'll have
to rise again
so rest deep
in your sleep
because soon
you'll hear my croon
"Hey
Baboo
GOOD MORNING!!!"

* Shame, you always look so snug and warm and there's me, decidedly neither, come to wake ye from your slumber! 

I see
you have made
mashed potatoes
I too
like mashed potatoes...

Saturday, May 10, 2025

You have found 
the right person
when you're tummy
is grumbly
and he says
"Should I make you
some mashed potatoes?"
Like some god of plenty
bearing a cornucopia
of impossibly robust
root vegetables.
Yes.
YES PLEASE!! 
How blessed I am...

Friday, May 9, 2025

I look at the time
and smile
your alarm
would have gone off
20 minutes ago
but Jo
has no
Bren
he's sleeping in
I grin
enjoy the rest my love! 

Thursday, May 8, 2025

This early morning 
when you came through
around quarter past 2
and yawning
made tea
or coffee
and we waited till 3
to start our day
a Friday
yay
laughing
and thoughtful
hopeful
for a great day
I felt
in a way
this summed us up
perfectly!

HERE
NOW
HOLY COW
I LOVE YOU!!!

* Do you ever think what a holy cow must be like? I assume all decked out in wreathes of marigold and sitting, Zazen style, the light of the universe gleaming off her horns, and her deep, melodic "Moooooo!" cutting right to the marrowness of your soul!! 

** Note that I love you, Boo, not the holy cow... well maybe a little bit, but look at them soft brown eyes, how can you not?! Would she be offended if I offered a sacrificial carrot?

Tuesday, May 6, 2025

What we've got
is not a lot
of things
but we do have time
and peace
and joy 
with all that 
in mind
I don't mind
if someone else owns
the knickers
I might have bought on sale. 

I am here
you are there
it means we are 
far
apart
but it also means
when we meet up later
how greater
delayed gratification! 

The no sex thing
boggles folk's brain
how insane
a life without it
how they doubt it
can't be real
how do you feel
love then?

Easy we say
each & every day
in our own joyful way!

But what misery
they cry!
What horror
they sigh!

And then ask:

How are you always so happy?
So utterly delighted?
So full of energy 
elated and excited?
What is your secret?
Come on 
out with it!

And we reply
with a beaming smile:

I think you understanding
might take a while...

Monday, May 5, 2025

I adore my Boo
and love you even more
for how you smile
joyfully while
I plunder
your sock drawer!

*"I've borrowed a few" Jo says, staggering out the door under the weight of pilfered footware!

A united front
you and me
us against
negativity!

Skeptic, good
doubtful, fine
but cynical
we draw the line!

Life's too short
to be a chump
life's too long 
to be a grump!

Ah but life
is perfectly
suited to joy
and fun silly! 

So let's go out
in exultation
and spread the wow
of Jubilation! 

JoBren happiness - best sensation! 

Sunday, May 4, 2025

I want to tell the world
about my hubby
who is the best thing
to ever exist in it!
To let them know
your kindness
your friendliness
your down to earth ways
your absolute
adorable 
adorableness!!
The world though
is not all that keen 
to listen
which just goes to show 
why
it is 
the way that it is!

*Sure war, greed, foolishness add to that, but who can resist a good Boo story?! Baddies, that's who!

Friday, May 2, 2025

It is very early morning
and once again
I am awake
while you sleep
You might snore
and dream
as I sit
and write this
and sniff
and sniff!
and SNIFF!!!
because why nose
why you run so much?!
Ahem...
I miss your presence
but I am glad you get to rest
and feel your best
when you awaken
because life...
*sniff*
nose seriously!!! 
And so 
whatever deep message
was meant to be here
is lost
in the sound
of one nose blowing... 

Well pardn'a
you look one tired hombre
these last hours
goin' slower than molasses in Jan'ry
n' work ken be
a badland
o' bellyaching and yammerin'
hammerin' into ya
leaves ya hardly fit to be hog tied
all fagged out 
flummuxed
and near plum crazy loco!

So'n I say
saddle up yo' hoss
git on your best bib n' tucker
and pack them big guns
cos we're about makin'
to have us a JoBren shindig
and git things back
in apple pie order
y'all git yo' caboose 
a moseyin' over ma side
so we can tan the hide
o' any desperados
a fxin' to give us a bother!

Y'all good fir that?
cos ain't no namby-pamby here
ain't all hat and no cattle here
or unsalted tenderloins
no chewin' gravel boy
it's yo' and me 
slicker
we jus' head on into that sunset
n' let the weekend hootnanny begin
Yippeee-ki-yay!
LET'S RIDE!!

Thursday, May 1, 2025

As you sleep 
I wonder
what does he dream
or scheme
so physically near
but mentally 
miles and miles 
from me...
Is it the one with the ninjas?! 

What do Zoo animals see 
looking at you and me?
2 adorable creatures
frolicking and free?
Or just big pink uglies
a tad bit smelly?

* to be fair most of them are pretty honky too...
