Industrious Labor

One Word: Industry and another Three word Wednesday

busy busy
stir the scrabbling
stew pot bees
buzzing peas porridge
hot as a firecracker
ignite the rotten
core the termite heart
infestation defenestration
bath water and baby depart
lay it down easy
feather soft feather
filled pillow pink slips
who needs all that buzzing
fuzzy memory
jive in the hive
the queen preens
while we go marching
one by one
hurrah

    Song for Martha and the Vandellas. Love all these: stew pot bees, ignite the rotten / core the termite heart, who needs all that buzzing / fuzzy memory . . .

      whoo, Martha and the Vandellas – now there’s a blast. I’ll be humming Jimmy Mack and Heat Wave for the rest of the day. This was a leftover from my frustration with all the time spent on “Torturing All Kids” week.
