The icebergs that clog Tracy Arm
Could do poor Complexity harm
On Sunday: No dice
Although we try twice
But Monday: The third time’s the charm!

Happy tummies
Aboard Complexity in Juneau, Alaska:
The crew here is very well fed
We’re feasting on Barb’s homemade bread
And the bear known as Scuppers
Who joins us for suppers
Says this chow surpasses Club Med
Thanks to Barbara and Jim!
We’ve been happy to sail on Complexity
A boat that has no animosity
No yelling or swearing
Just kindness and caring
We give thanks for the Cole’s generosity
Scuppers’ Wild Ride
A fellow named Scuppers, a Bear
Decided to take Barbara’s dare
So with nothing to grab
He leapt onto a crab
And rode off, looking quite debonair
Here’s a photo of Scuppers, before he disappeared over the horizon:
Cravin’ Crabs in Khutz Inlet
The crew’s fearing crab deprivation
And suffering mounting frustration
Using cat food for bait
Which the crabs seem to hate
Our skipper can’t catch a crustacean
So I came up with a different plan
Some broccoli and rice in a pan
But then Jim came back in
And was sporting a grin
With a Dungeness crab in each hand
Life in a fluffed house
We got the house shiny and clean
It looked just like a magazine
But since fluffing’s the rage
We are living on stage
The illusion is what makes the scene
“Rose” Lived Here
Our house here was once owned by Rose
Who made certain that when she arose
She only saw PINK
From her fridge to her sink
To her ceiling, walls, carpet, and clothes
We’ve just gotten word that the exterior of the house used to be PINK as well…Wow! What an eyeful that would be!
There’s a marmot on my roof
Our roof was all nasty and brown
And bringing the house value down
But good old Marmot
Fixed up what we’ve got
And gave us the best roof in town
Check out the entry under “Adventures,” with photos of the process!
How Prussia Adopted Me
Nineteen eighty-six, early September
A date that I’ll always remember
A small cat with loud voice
Did not give me a choice
Announced she, “I’m your new family member!”
New Year’s Polar Bear Swim
Although my friends think me a flake
On New Year’s, a swim I do take
And now, I have found
That dear Puget Sound
Is colder, by far, than the lake!
