Celebrate

With Happy This and Merry That,
I found a comfy chair and sat
to wait until the season ran
its course and no one would demand
I celebrate the change of year —
but wait, does Valentine’s Day draw near?

Nickel

A penny for my thought?
It’s worth at least a nickel;
yet it can be bought,
though you may find it fickle.
It does float here and there,
alighting as it will
then flitting off to where
it might find its fill
of what is and might be
and maybe what can not.
So I’ll let you see —
is that nickel all you’ve got?

‘Kijk nou toch mijn kale haar!
Hoe krijg ik mijn bast onthutseld?
Welke knappe stuntelaar
heeft mij in elkaar geknutseld?’
