April Showers Bring May FLOUR

Since it’s now May,
April showers went away,
My flowers are sprouting
bright in full display.

That old spring saying
is simple and true,
But Willie got it wrong,
as he tends to do.

He came over grinning,
proud as can be,
Holding up flour
like a prize recipe.

Said April showers
bring May FLOUR, you see!
I said, “Oh Willie,
have mercy on me.”

But come June,
wouldn’t you know what grew?
The freshest baked flowers
you ever did view.

My whole garden was rising
like yeast in the sun,
with dough-lighted daisies,
popping up one by one.

So now I just nod
when he gets things wrong.
Turns out that old fool
was right all along!

Let’s SHELL-ebrate Easter

I’m hunting eggs this Easter morn,
With my basket in hand, full of cheer,
And my Willie, bless his heart,
Ain’t the brightest bunny here.

He hopped out of a giant egg,
Cracked it clean in two,
Yelled, “I’m ready to SHELL-ebrate!”
Like that’s a clever thing to do.

I CRACKED up till I near toppled,
That old fool, breaking shells with flair,
He may be soft in the noggin,
But he’s a good EGG, no YOLK, I swear.

CEREAL-ously Lucky

It’s St. Paddy’s Day,
so green’s the rule,
But Willie’s carryin’ on
like a fool.

He’s grinnin’ wide
as he waves his spoon,
Like luck will strike
any minute soon.

He hollers,
“Tillie! Look at me!
I’m CEREAL-ously Lucky,
see?”

He’s munchin’ charms
out of a bowl,
Thinkin’ them oats
will bless his soul.

I crossed my arms
and gave a sigh,
“That’s why your luck
keeps runnin’ dry.

You’ve got it wrong,
as you often do,
There ain’t no gold
in that bowl for you.”

But Willie just smiled
with milk on his chin,
Sure in his heart
that he somehow did win.

And I rolled my eyes,
but still had to agree,
I picked that old fool,
and he picked me.

BEE My Valentine

I sat on a bench
to rest my knees,
When Willie buzzed over
through the bees.

“Tillie,” he hummed,
“don’t flee from me,
Won’t you Bee my Valentine,
honey bee?”

I said, “Oh Willie,
you poor old dear,
It’s BE, not BEE,
now listen here.

You’re sweet as honey,
but buzzed in the head,
Like a bee trying to pollinate
a fake flower instead.”

The bees all swarmed,
thought he was kin,
And chased my Willie
right out of his skin.

So yes, I said yes,
and I must confess,
After fifty years,
I’m still queen of our nest!

Happy MOO Year!

Willie said
it’s MOO Year, y’all,
We wore cowboy hats
and bandanas for the ball.

He brought us milk
to toast the night,
I brought some bubbly
to make it right!

We did a COW-nt down,
three, two, one,
Happy MOO Year!
Oh, what fun!

Willie sipped milk
and gave a cheer,
I laughed and said,
“This is UDDER-ly perfect, dear!”

Introducing Willie & Tillie Geezer

I’m Tillie Geezer,
lively and keen,
With my hubby Willie,
silly as can be.

He cracks his jokes,
oh, bless his soul,
Laughs so hard
his dentures roll!

We’re creaky and wobbly,
but fun as can be,
I’m the brains
and Willie’s… a mystery.

We may be old,
but we’re far from done,
Our knees complain,
but mercy, we have fun.

We’re off on adventures,
big and small,
Trips, tricks, and tomfoolery,
come see it all!

We’re old as dirt,
but spry as can be,
Come laugh along
with Willie and me.

Follow our tales at
Over the Hill Thrills,
I bring the brains,
and Willie brings… the medical bills.
