Watching you grow as a person

is like watching a child grow

only much nicer

cos there are less tantrums

and no diapers to change...

*also I've never seen you pick your nose in public! 

Boo!

How do

you do

being you

so well?!

*please continue to do so! Thank you in advance!

BOO!!!

sleep sleep

I LOVE YOU SO!!!

nap nap nap

BUT I CANT HELP THINKING

ABOUT OTHER THINGS AS WELL!

siesta?

siesta!

STILL ONWARDS WE GO!!!!

snooooooooooooze!!!

YOUR EVERLOVING

slumber!

JO!!

Thursday

is a bit like an isolated island

out at sea

water all around you

with the hope of being rescued

a possibility 

but not yet an option 

you are there

in the sun

with salt encrusting your face

and odd little scurrying scurrying things

trying to get into your pants

to nip you in awkward places...

And yet you are not alone!

We are both on the island together!

Maybe for now you are on the left side

and I am on the right side

we can't see each other 

but we're both working hard 

possibly you are hunting sharks in the low water

crafty and quick

with a homemade spear and concentration

and I am climbing trees for coconuts

(Or at least knocking them down with a stick

those trees look hard to climb

and a coconut to the head is a terrible thing)

then later today

at the end of the day

we will get together again

and hug and laugh

and ask how it all went

and we'll share our spoils

eating heartily by the fire

and swap stories

and shoo away small crabs with big ambitions

and just relax and be

and then suddenly

out of the dark

the good ship 'Friday' will emerge

and we'll see that all our toils and work

can be left behind for a bit

as we board it

and get ready to sail into the weekend

and fresh, sand free, knickers

so be strong my fellow survivor

with you there is always hope

love and joy

however far away you are

because in the end we still are together

JoBren!

We got this Boo!!!

Up at 2

me and you

at work by 3

you and me

ready 

for home again?

That would be JoBren!

*still we are here, we are adorable, let's make the rest work! MWAH!

We came!

We ate!

We left junk

off our plate! 

We came!

We saw!

We're more cut than before! 

* My poems are decidedly health and gym like lately... but then, so are we! ♥

You need a hug!

Yes you do!

You need a hug!

And I'll give one to you! 

Open your arms

stretch them wide

here comes a Jo

snuggling inside!

And if you want

I ask of you

please repay 

and hug me too?

YAY!!!!

Some folk love eyes

some adore hair

I go meh meh

and leave them there

Some folk love money

and status

this I snub

it's just not us

Some folk love greed

excess and fat

and I'm just fine

to leave them that

Some folk like shiny

and loud and bling

but no thanks

that's not my thing

I want personality

in my Boo

And heart and love

and kindness too

And if it's there

in a muscular frame?

what can I do

but offer the same!

*Let's keep at gym and at being good people with a punny sense of humor!

We will always know 

when to say no

so

when we say yes

it's be for the best!

*A Boo in my life? YES!!!!!

Oh Boo

We do

do 

doing

right

right!!!

Baboo!

How do you do?

So far away?

Now you roam

but do come home

soon or straightaway! 

*I vote 'straightaway'!! 

I like when you speak

how your words

even the funny ones

the silly ones

the playful ones

are all so full of love

and the absolute

JOY

of living

that 

in a world of such 

noise

noise!

NOISE!!

You're quiet words

soothe.

*those ghastly puns though... that's a whole other delightful kettle of slippery fish! 

We are happy.

Yet others say 

live our way

But you are not happy

we say

That's okay

they say

cos we live our way

Then I think

we say

we'll live our own way

have fun 

day to day

with lots of HOORAY

and joy that stays

and they stop 

stare

shake their head

at what's said

and walk 

confused

away. 

If I was a goat

you would float my boat

but I am not

so what you've got

is just a me

who is eager to see

her cutie Baboo

once more

FOR SURE!!!

We spend 

a lot of time 

apart

so when we are 

together

let's make it last 

forever

or at least

make it feel like

a really 

long time!

* We can gym or do chores and indeed the time will slow right down! What power! :P

My love for you

will last longer

than an hour

of very bad 

gym time! 

*and with less chance of Athlete's foot which is an underrated perk! 

The day is hot

and I think of you a lot

and if that is all I've got

well it's better had than not! 

*You are ADORED!!!!! 

Husbands

are lovely things to have

and when 

Oh my

they are

YOU

Well!

Aren't they glorious?!

*Royal 'they' cos 'they' is only ever 'YOU!'

 

It is an hour

until 

I see you again!

It is amazing

what one hour

can contain! 

Straight home

no chores

4 words

we adores!

Work ends

weekend starts

arrive home

best parts!

Ah yes

rest relax

shower first

then snacks!

there's you

there's me

put together

such glee!

Sit down

no moans

such joy

we're HOME!!!

 Friday

OUR day

what's

left

to say?

Right 

yes!

The best:

LOVE LOVE LOVE YOU!!!!

That'll do!

WOOHOO!!!

*some things can never be said enough regardless of how utterly obvious they are! (Like "I love you" or "Thank you" or "Should I make us something to eat?"...)

Well pard'na

time rodeo 

let's go without mercy!

Take Thursday down 

to the ground

hog tie it n' call it Marcy!!

Boo!

NYANPASU!!!

I LOVE YOU!!!

Wednesday

is when the day

is set true

with a Boo!

*and tasty snacks, and oodles of silliness! All the essentials!

I make good chews

for the Boo

yummy stuff

and just enough

for him to sing

I love din-din!!! ♫

Tuesday

I choose today

to be with you!

Only we're at work instead!

Now is that any way to get ahead?

Probably...

Actually...

Well!

I can still send you mail 

and hot on it's trail

lots of Love and Affection!

(Maybe that's close enough to perfection?)

*Love you Boo, near or far or motoring along somewhere in between! 

It is Monday

perhaps not as fun a day

as Sunday

but here

and now

and anyhow

you and I 

are you and I

so why

sigh

when joy will be easy to come by! 

You

Me

Food

Some

Threesome

Work!

On your mat

With your whole self 

enshrouded in blankets

you appear to be

a living mummy

cheerfully content

not to bother

with the waking world!

I listen to an audiobook

when the sun came out

Then I listened to birdsong

when you came out

Then then I listen to you

Far past the time

when your smile came out! 

Today

is a day

much like any other day

NO WAY!!!

It's our Friday

Thursday!

and in that way

it's so far more than 

okay....

YAY!!

HOORAY!!!

It's our time to play!

*Time spent with Boo is time spent most cleverly! (And have you noticed how often it comes with change?) What a wise investment! 

The thing I like about your eyes

is that they're your eyes!

(Well of course they are

but wouldn't it be creepy if they weren't?

I mean maybe if you lost your eyes

to some weird disease

or falling badly on a spoon

and you got transplants

then maybe it would be alright

but what if they were completely different looking?

Like maybe they couldn't find the same colour eyes you had before?

So they are green now, or an odd shade of poo?

Or what if they didn't find matching eyes

so you ended up with one green and one purple?

And say if they had to take one from a pig

or a goat 

and you had funny pupils?

Or if they were a bit too big and bulged out your sockets

like a frog's eyes if it were squeezed lovingly by an anaconda?

I mean I'd sure love you still

Boo is Boo

but those eyes

THOSE EYES!!!!)

So anyway

for now

your eyes?

They're cool! 

See the thing is

we can't control

the ever after

hate 

or laughter

joy

or disaster

but we can 

and do

live in the Now

anyhow

and make 

the super most of it 

as we should!

So that our past 

is full of smiles

and the future 

seems worthwhile

and all the rest

does the best

as it would! 

*Each moment we enjoy is one more to the good, so lets enjoy ALL of them and SHINE!!

**Some of my poems are a wee bit overly motivational sometimes...

***Good! 

In a world

of not trying

we try harder! 

*and rather have fun doing it too! 

 

I cook

and our home

like you

smells fantastic! 

* But lets only eat the food, a whole person is too much *burp!*

I fold the washing

and see your undies

and shirts

and socks

it's like finding the shell

of a cicada

it's you

and not you

the deep dark laundry

of the soul! 

 

Ah my Boo

you're so beyond nice

In the stew pot of life

you're the spice

In the closet of life

you're the funkiest shirt

In the garden of life

you're quality dirt

In the bathroom of life

you're a fresh bog roll

In the park of life

you're a lively stroll

In the waiting room of life

you're the comfortable chair

In the forest of life

you're the gruff grizzly bear

In the orchard of life

you're an A-grade apple

In the sunshine of life

you're the shaded dapple

In the doctor's room of life

you're a bowl of candy

In the garage of life

you're a wrench so handy

In the race of life

you sure beat the rest

and in JoBee's life

You're the best of the best!!!

With less dairy

in our diet

we'll have to be 

extra cheesy!

Shall we try it?

Monday dawns

small yawns

Big hopes!

*let's take the day on in our usual enthusiastic JoBren style!
