Comfort Food
by Jeanne Poland

My daughter arrived with husband behind,
Post surgery, weary, washed out;
I’d made them a soup with chicken and vegs:
Some broth that gave bones back their clout.

Some wine spiced it sweet, with onions, anise,
Carrots, rosemary, and chicken breasts sliced;
Potatoes, fresh parsley, lemon, zucchini,
Comfort delivered all spiced, sliced and diced!

Riddle #34 What goes WHACK in the night?

Emily fishes in WStockbridge

‘Twas romance on the wild lagoon
With largest catch from far to soon.
Husband shows his wife the place
Where magic lights upon his face.

With largest catch from far to soon
Those fish sure bite before the moon
Raises frogs; makes turtles swoon.

Husband shows his wife the place
Which beckons nightly for his grace
Canoe or kayak, rod in case.

Where magic lights upon his face
And beavers threaten with their “whacks”
How dare you fish in beaver’s place?
