★SPLOOSHED★
Matoonies overboard Drunk as a Cooter Wasn’t he outscored Like a real freebooter No good balance Can’t keep his feet Hanging a valance Swilling too sweet Falling into the gutter No stand up straight Slipping like butter Gagging on a date If 6 were nine And the sky the sea Wouldn’t that be fine To […]
★DESERVISH★
With an obsession As seen in the eyes Make a concession Bothered by the flies Win the game Wryly looking Try to blame Someone’s cooking When you try to live From here to there With what’s to give Breathing thin air Going homeward To the eastern sky Make it loneward With an instant sigh
★DISTANCE★
In my voice Talk out of turn Make a choice Try to learn A world apart After a while In the heart A child’s smile That does not part Counting days At your service Stuck in your ways Makes one nervous A pleasant mile Just a walk Out on the tile A crow’s squawk Reflective […]

★PHONEBLOWN★
And in a quarter of an hour The call was all but concluded With the scent of a flower A fragrance that was secluded A Willow, a Galore by name What a pussy really means Given to have such fame With pinks, yellows, and greens Perfumed and very fragrant Alive with murmured whispers Something alive […]
★PROGRAMMABLE★
You got to go with the program And you can’t be too slow Toast the cheese and the ham Two for the money, four for the show Whatever you do in the bramble Carry forth and carry on Run the risk and take the gamble First thing you know, you’re gone Often in any such […]
★HOMES & DOMES★
How do we cope without any reason? Lacking all hope As with the season Where do we turn With the lights out? How will we learn? Past reasoned doubt How will we stand With nothing true? On command Through and through See the derangement In what is going down In the arrangement Of the lost […]
