Widgets, Kids Costumes and Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson costumes for kids are the latest buzz,

All kids I know have one and now they razz,

But their parents are all laughter, as it’s like

All their lovely kids would look alike

In the Halloween night,

In the Halloween fever,

On the trick and treat river.

Hanging Devils, Witches, Widgets

If you get a hanging devil,

Place it in a place that’s evil,

And make the Halloween spirit

Become alive in your neighborhood.

Your kids would get scary, but so they should!

Bamboo Roll Up Blinds, Flowers and Bees

Your bamboo roll up blinds will be

Like the flowers for a bee:

You’ll like to see them at all times,

And now I’m fully out of rhymes,

So get your window blinds motorized, if you want more comfort and an extra remote control on your table,

As if you didn’t have enough already.

Cordless roll up blinds can keep your pets safe, although your cat may look sad

for not having those cords to play with.

Will Wonderslim Products Make You Slim?

If you’re fat but you like eating,

And your blouses aren’t fitting

So you change them twice a year,

Stop it: Wonderslim products are here.

You can eat protein food replacements

And lose pounds in twelve installments,

If you buy the larger kit!

Then your skirts again will fit.

Earthquake Prediction, Survival Kits and Widgets

When earthquake prediction is the task of your cat,

Beware of all signs you’d possible get,

Such as scratching your skin from no reason at all,

Or jumping on the ceiling, although your rooms are tall.

If earthquake phobia is keeping you awake,

There’s a small remedy available to take:

The earthquake kit with water, canned foods and drugs and candles,

Beware where you store it, just grab it by the handles…

Insurance for Cars, Lives and Homes, Do We Really Need It?

Next time when you’ll be looking for an auto insurance specialist,
Just stop for a while and give it a thought: do you really need insurance?

This is how we function: we spend a lifetime in search for reassurance,
We are afraid of car accidents, of plane crashes, of losing our wife or kids,
Life passes by and we don’t have time to enjoy moments,
Because we fear they’d fly away.

No insurance broker can ever fix that!

Swine Flu Widgets, Are You Afraid?

So many swine flu widgets are spreading in the air,

From Mexico to Texas and Europe, so we swear

To cancel our vacations and stay inside our homes,

And every single Sunday go praying at the domes.

There’s no vaccine discovered, but scientists don’t sleep,

They study pigs and chicken and maybe even sheep,

To give us antibodies to poor and to rich,

So we’ll be once more able to spend time on the beach.

Thermal Curtains, Insulated Minds, R-Value of Living

If you can’t explain how thermal curtains affect R-value, and you can’t accept they do,

You have to step back and think of this, too:

Hot air is always lighter than the cold.

Don’t argue on this one, as it’s really old.

Insulation is key to a happy, warm life,

Otherwise the cold will cut you like a knife,

Despite your great Hunter Douglas blinds you like so much.

2009 Dirty Blue Widgets

I feel like dirty blue widgets were here forever,

Since the beginning of time, when there were fewer dog allergies.

But looking back in this New Year of 2009,

I see that’s been only a short time ago

When all widgets were clean and tidy,

Regardless their color: blue, black, red or white.

One widget was purple, my big favorite of all times

But it turned blue as it got dirty with mud.

I’m getting some cool gift baskets ideas for Valentine this year.

How are your dirty blue widgets in year 2009?

Blue Cheese and Dirty Widgets

This is a break in our Dirty Blue Widgets series of poems. I want to tell you a story which may intrigue you and give you some food for thoughts in this modern society, driven by crazy and snob principles, making good people feel like poor dirty blue widgets so many times.

Is Blue Cheese Dirty, or What?

I don’t know how many of you had the chance to taste blue cheese in their lives. Personally, I believe this is one of those inventions made up specially to draw the line between rich widgets and poor people, between snob widgets and ordinary guys, between those widgets who need status symbols in order to exist, and people who just live and enjoy their life as it is, be it blue or pink, miserable or full of happiness.
First of all, I know blue cheese is made like that on purpose. I know it is not dirty. But, may I ask you, my friends, what difference does it make if you stink on purpose, or your smell is only the byproduct of not washing yourself often enough? If I keep a piece of cheese in the fridge until it becomes stinky and blue, would you be honored if I offered it to you for dinner? Or would you rather think about me that I’m only one of those dirty blue widgets and you’d hate me for that?
Why do you think they serve that stinky cheese with sweet grapes? Nobody wants to drop dead at the dinner table, after all

Be Different, Even If You Look Dirty

Moving from foods to clothing, snobs are still here. We can see it easily, if we take a look at the jeans section of the stores, for example. Have you noticed how dirty new blue jeans look nowadays? Why would I pay that much to buy clothes that seem to come from prehistoric ages? Why would I want to show small pieces of my leg’s skin through my blue jeans? This dirty blue fashion can go crazy at times, and we are probably insane to follow it.

What people forget is that they all chase the same dream of being unique, thus resulting in a very uniform world of dirty blue widgets which all look alike.
