 Two butterflies

doing the tiger-tail tango

in the garden.

Spring is indeed

busting out all over.

Sunday Funnies: 05-21-2023

Just a couple of quick 'toons done as I dip back into the inkwell of my comics dabblings, Da Boss and the probably politically incorrectly titled Miss Dish:

Only memory's mirror 

resurrects
the sweet-singing violins
of lunches with Mom
at Clifton's Cafeteria.

Cars backed up 

as far as the eye

can see.

How did we

arrive here?

TV news

all shootings

and mayhem. 

Overhead, the clatter

of a police chopper.

 My Music Bonanzas

Put 'em
on the list 
of things
that haven't quite
panned out.

More fun
than if
if they hadn't
happened
at all.

Enough
to keep 
me playing
my solo

back yard
house concerts.

So far
the neighbors
haven't
complained.

Occasional 

flashes
of gold
that feel like
Eureka!

war     war     war
yet another war

even spring grasses

help hide

landmines

two sparrows
hurry after tidbits
near the laundromat door
     a young couple
     flirts while folding clothes

By me, from a manuscript in progress titled "Concrete Seasons."

More rain

expected this afternoon

as our drought
continues to end
at least for now.
Thank the weather gods
for long, hot showers
and flushing toilets
and geese honking
across the morning sky
and thank the universe

for another miraculous day.
