Prime Day Disappointment

Prime day was to be a miser's gold mine.
I started looking at deals in office at nine
But the bargains were few
And really nothing new.
Though a fancy chef's hat is now mine!

Panditji

We were secure; our building was defended
With firmness and care, us kids were tended.
He knew great pain
But did not complain.
So many thanks.. And now his watch has ended.

Inertia

Oh, it is a bitter pill to swallow;
Much easier to whine and to wallow.
About fate and luck.
Ever the lame duck.
Where inaction is, consequence must follow.

The flipside of eating beetroots

"Eat more beetroots", the Doctor said
Luckily, they're not something I dread.
The only price I pay:
If I eat it today,
Tomorrow my, uh, output, is Red.

Happiness

The old person said, getting sappy,
"Learn from babies how to be happy"
I bit my lip.
But let slip:
"Sure. If you feed and change my nappy"

Cookie jar

Ah, the temptress sits in my line of sight
Every minute I put up a valiant fight.
But resistance is futile.
"I'll walk an extra mile."
If cookies are wrong, who wants to be right?

Note: The Cookie Master bakes fresh cookies daily for a $1 contribution. The cookie jar is right across from me. Most days, all that keeps me from sampling the goodies is the lack of $1 notes. Yay for the credit card culture!

Is there some minor inconvenience that ensures you make the right choice?

Birthday Hangover

Birthday hangovers are a thing I say.
There's all the excitement for the birthday.
There's fun and laughter.
Then comes the day after.
And the only cure is 364 days away
