Herb Garden

I’ll one day plant
An herb garden
Just for you

The various herbs
You may feel
Overwhelmed by, at first

Though do not fret…
As the herbs mean
No harm, of course

Why do herbs exist?
Why are they so comforting…
So flavorful?

The answers you seek, I’m afraid
Will continue to elude you…
I’m sorry.

Take no offense, kind individual…
The herbs wish you well
And love you

Paycheck Prison

Smells like power
But tastes like chicken
Administrative duties
Make my pulse quicken

Repression wears a tie
Arrogance sports hose
Make Bossy smile
That’s how the garden grows

Timeclock sphincter
Clamped down tight
Constipation of thought
Absence of light

Artistic fire snuffed
Sculptor’s hand inert
Bottom line worship
Trade the smock for the shirt

Corporate aorta
Chocked with fat pride
With toad-lust for power
Freedom must collide

Our Friend, the Pancake

Ahh yes, our friend of course, the Pancake
Fluffy and accommodating
A stack of love for you and me
Ffffff..flip it! Yeah!

I pour you on a hot griddle
A light-brown face
Of total acceptance
Yes, of course, I’ll have another

Please love me
Like I love you
Your varied shapes
I gobble up, always grateful

A friend with a riddle
A friend on the griddle
I’ll never forget you
Our friend… the Pancake

Which Came First

Poultry farm chaos
Chicken-lickin’ you
Sweet and sour future
Henhouse flurry

Henpecked and handpacked
Epistle of gristle
Cellophane stiffy
Wishbone hope?

Flight of the Crone

Dirty scowling crone
Old as the wind
Tear-stained cheeks
Sadness of knowing

Shuffling quietly
Through twisted shadows
She is darker than night
Darker than you

Stony chill of her breath
Whistling across 
Withered yellow lips
The foulest of crypts

Hating eyes
Hating you
Earthen pits of decay
Windows to oblivion

Embracing you…
Twitching, dying bats
Scurrying, gnawing rats
Screaming, slicing cats

Don’t look
Don’t watch
Don’t see
Don’t know

Ever

Nervous Purvis

Nervous  Purvis, why so quirky?
I’m losin’ my hair and the future’s lookin’ murky

Nervous Purvis, why the twisted scowl?
No woody here, just a slim little dowel

Nervous Purvis, why can’t you score?
I’m wearin’ silly drawers and I eat off the floor

Nervous Purvis, why blame it on the Man?
Cuz he’s real bossy and kicks me in the can

Nervous Purvis, why the dirty pants?
I wore ‘em to bed while reading Judith Krantz

Nervous Purvis, why not make a change?
Cuz I like sittin’ pretty and scratchin’ my mange

Nervous Purvis, you could be so much!
Like paying for meals and housing and such?

Nervous Purvis, why the dirty nails?
Been slurpin’ on felch and fillin’ diaper pails

Nervous Purvis, you’ll never fit in!
On with ya, donkus, and wipe off your chin!

Filthy, Stinking Money

Stinking, dirty money
Foul, festering money
Putrid, gassy money
Rotten, disgusting money
Oppressing, cruel money
Castigating, merciless money
Admonishing, finger-wagging money
Subjugating, stone-faced money


Aah, money…
That your kiss is so sweet,
Your embrace so sensuous,
Your possibilities so tempting…
I am dirty with your scent

Franks Pork-N-Stork

Hey Frank!
Don’tcha keep
Servin’ up
Them storks

Yeah, Frank, you…
Stop it!
Ya can’t cook
Stork

Shut her down
Board her up
Set ‘em free
Sorry Frank!

Lymphomaniac

Please
Don’t drink
The lymph
Anymore

Hospital wretch
Chubs in scrubs
Sorting sifting searching
Medical waste surprise

Biohazard beverage
White lumpy lymph
Don’tcha dare incinerate
My lymph

Want that lymph
Need that lymph
Find that lymph
Drink that lymph

Splotchgulp foam
Guzzle-muzzle glob
Smackety-spit dribble
Lymph-lymph-lymph
