I slither and crawl
through the slime and the grime
in nooks and crannies
of Mother Earth's bailiwick,
searching for lizards and mice.

Wherever they run,
whether sun is up or down,
I'll be there waiting.

When Debby came to town
and threw a hissy fit,
destroying all we knew,
we became desperate.

Her demonic temper
sent days of drenching rain,
obliterating dreams
and inflicting great pain.

She blew some stores apart
with brutal energy,
and homes were washed away
into the raging sea.

Every chance we get,
we indulge in
Mother Nature's smorgasbord
of sensory treats.

Wading in a cool babbling stream
in the early morning hours
along a scenic mountain trail,
where squirrels chatter
and robins sing,

or perhaps,
sunset walks down by the sea
with warm sand between our toes,
cavorting with the raucous gulls
and watching their aerial ballet.

Whenever trouble gets us down,
there is nothing like
Mother Nature's smorgasbord
to relieve the stress.

My dad and his dad
served in the military
and made us all proud.

Tomorrow, I shall enlist
and be third generation
to patrol the globe
from Little Rock to Iraq,
defending our flag.
