I was the goose to
Your gander. It is
A past only in this
Funny way, calling
Myself a goose isn't
Serious. It isn't
Meant that way, of
Course. It's meant
As a funny. I was
Never your goose,
My gander. I am not
A goose. I am very
Serious. A woman of
Substance. And you
Cannot have been a
Gander. Geese are
Squawkers. Ganders
Too. Of course, they
Are. They are geese
Are they not, my duck!

Tradition
What traditions have you not kept that your parents had?
Routines habits and rituals the
Things your family always did
To commemorate, celebrate, or
Honor special times or holidays
Traditions to mark your events.
Do you keep them and hold them
Sacred and dear year after year
Like the star atop the Christmas
Tree or the menorah on a mantle?
Or just a pork roast and potatoes
To show gratitude that it's not a
Turkey on your table. Your mom's
Best recipe or favorite sauce boat.
Things your family always did to
Make an event sparkle in its own
Unique light. Do you keep them?
Do you hold them dear each year
Pass them on like the light from
The Olympic Torch, in a tradition
That will define you as a part of.
The routines, habits, rituals that
Celebrate, and commemorate,
Your traditions and who you are.
I hope they are your centerpiece
Can’t complain
‘Plaints
What do you complain about the most?
Our family joke was always that
The Complaint Department was
Closed. It was an order to come
Back tomorrow, when, of course,
It would again be closed. No one
Was allowed to express any form
Of displeasure. Complaining was
For sissies and unseemly. Closed.
Player
What are your favorite sports to watch and play?
Playful doesn't define sports
Even peewee football is so so
Serious. They're waiting for a
Huge contract, I warrant you.
If you're watching, it's because
You've got money on the game.
Summo championships indeed.
Bets wagers bets odds and outs.
What do I know?
Art is subject subjectively
To every unschooled one
Of us to claim an untaught
Even a proudly ignorant
Appreciation of the subject.
I don't know much about...
But I know what I like. This
Phrase makes us an expert.
Hey, but what do I know?
I’ve been schooled
Haiku, because I
asked is seventeen syllables
Now you know. Also.
Solve
Denouement, that's 3
Syllables (3 again) Ah
Panagram solved
Denouement, a word
I like. I didn't solve it
Just enjoyed the word.
Know it all
What’s the first impression you want to give people?
Smart and know-it-all are not
The same nor one-and, but I do
Mix and match them. To be on
The side of one or the other I do
Err in favor of smart-ass. The
Wiseguy isn't wise, I know it, but
Silly is a disarming pose I chose.
It’s personal
Name the most expensive personal item you’ve ever purchased (not your home or car).
Shoes can be a luxury item
Just ask SJP in her role as
Carrie. Name brands tend to
The expensive. Sometimes
Overpriced. In my opinion, at
Least. At best. I do like me a
Fancy shoe, bold but without
Nikki's 5-inch heel. I am all
About flats. Showy, yes, but
Close enough to the ground
To keep me grounded. Short
Though I am, I seek no height.
