Your mind needs more of this

(A Riddle)

Technical Difficulties
_____________________________________
Oh
Why do you
Constantly do this
Giving me the run around
Hours on the telephone
Zero problems solved
I will not
Hold
_____________________________________

Pale freckled skin, keeps organs in
Protects me from the sun
All this flecking, requires checking
To the doctors I run
*
In cotton gown, I wait around
For examination
New magazines, computer screens
Office decoration
*
Skin is assessed, concerns addressed
At my age my spots change
Scanning processed, I can get dressed
We talk short range, long range
*
Have the “all clear”, return next year
Keep wearing the sunscreen
New spots appear, please have no fear
We’ll do the same routine

Clematis
_____________________________________
One day the vine’s all green leaves and promise
Next day a solo flower opens wide
This year’s display I sure don’t want to miss
Each time I think to I observe wide-eyed
In a blink becomes stunningly adorned
Palm-sized flowers cover plant in masses
Those fuzzy green buds will never be mourned
If you can’t see beauty you need glasses
Counts among botanical badasses
