Brochettes

By Giggles Anderson

Sugar and salt
might be at fault.
Some blame
the carbs and ways.
As waistbands expand
folks stop walking the land
and spend more time in the shade.

Sun shines as
pressure grows.
Changing the flow
from head to toe,
breaking the pipes
a-lining the way.

Heart, liver, kidney
on a stick.

Travel Suit

By Giggles Anderson

Cars, trains,
ships and planes
around the World
and back again.

But what if
a head is bumped,
an arm is stumped,
or an eye is knocked
down the esplanade,
a kilometer or two?

When the US citizen
returns to our States,
who will pay
to put Humpty Dumpty
back together again?
