A Pi Poem for Pi Day (3.14) along with my Writer's Pantry Poem

Pi R Good 
(A Pi Day Senryu)

I like lemon Pi

Yesterday was Strawberry

Tomorrow Di-et

"I didn't say that"

Read, "Let us taste each other’s words"
Was the Poet's admonition **
Way the world communicates
We say and hear we show and watch

Lest we get it wrong plenty find
Wrong transmission or reception
Purposefully said fake news, lie
A lie, nice way is said 'fake news'

'Heard it wrong' denies ignorance
'Didn't say that,' an outright lie
From whose lips these false statements come?
Whose ears incite to lie some more

Not yours nor mine, it could not be
And politicians don't take blame 
Candied words can seem delicious.

** Magaly's words.  She also said,  "(words can be rather nutritious, I’ve been told)", adapted to my bottom line.

I've almost always, perhaps always, written as poem or a ditty for Pie Day, March 14 (3.14) .  Things slipped up on me this year so this Senryū will have to do.

   Apple not Chosen 

There I was, feeling alone 
Alone in a world of greed 
Like saddened child with a limp 
In the bin crying inside 

Pick me, pick me, cries unheard 
Tears unseen crying inside 
Passed by ugly ducks can't play 
Our team has to win the game 

But in the end no matter 
No matter I was different 
Crippled, darkened skin, alone 
Store's empty, I didn't count 

All must play who needs one more 
Last apple in the bin.  Him? 
Boy with a limp mottled skin 
Least  damage left field he'll play 

Kid who was shunned now at bat 
There hit he did a high home run 
Unwanted child, apple sliced 
Tasty inside, skin was sweet

An Adi Poem for Weekly Scribbling

Early Bird Gets the Worm;
but there's another inching 
around the corner 

When they first married
'Twas her alarm they had
She'd set it every day
for them to rise and feed

Dog goes out then she eats
Was Pebble's new routine
Gone days of puppyhood
When HE came closet HERS

Nobody said a word
Just the way it worked out

Saved and saved bought a house
Responded suburb's call
The clock moved to his side
He had to learn the role
Pebbles went with the flow

Nobody said a word
Just the way it worked

One sad day Pebbles died
"Won't get a dog again"
But Daughter had come
"No place for our new pup"

Adi learned the routine
Lights off closet for her
Alarm sounds you go out
In and eat, play day's here

Nobody said a word
Just the way it worked

Seems one day the world changed
Doggy door for Adi
Come and go as she please
In, eat, computer fed

Digital take over
Alarm clock no more, tossed
Smart phones now, his and hers
Each sets his own alarm

Nobody said a word
Just the way it worked

They all adapted well
Retirement had come
Each day is Saturday
Sleep in except Sundays

Alarms are never set
Adi's out when she needs
When we wake, eat and play
Sleep in but not Sunday

Nobody said a word
Just the way it worked 

What comes next?
