Superstitions Aloysius

    I once knew a man named Aloysius
    Hyperbolic as hell, superstitious
       He avoided black cats
       And ladders without slats
    He seemed to me frankly quite judicious

Aloysius Mistress


Aloysius has a mistress.
That shops at Tiffany's. 
And he grants all her wishes.
Seems easier than Explain.

Captain Gilgamesh Aloysius Willikers

Welcome! I am Captain G. Willikers.
Really? Truly? That be your name.
Oh no, Silly Billy, hid'n d'G all the same.
O let' me guess, O let' me guess.
What could d'G be..
Guess away, guess away
it's your time it's your cruise
but keep away, keep away
for I've no interest in your clues
but how will I know the truth
if you're going

Aloysius Wishes

Alousius was a most auspicious bird
He was also a bit daffy and wacky
And constantly went awry and absurd
As a bird one might say he was absolutely atrocious
And his appetency of eating rotten week old berries
Gave him the worst possible case of halitosis
Oh How! he did anguish the blue birds next door
That fell from their perches

Gigglicious Aloysius

There once was a chap named Aloysius
Who penned poems oh-so-gigglicious--
   So sharp was his wit

Aloysius Bamblebee

I see him lounge beneath the pecan tree, 
nursing his alcohol as he hides from his young cousins. 
They want to play army men with him some more,
but he has already been losing for hours. 
Poor boy! He thinks he is a man. 
Yet, with better rules, he still plays different games.
Watch him as he

Aloysius Vicious

Sister Aloysius rings the bell
iron-railing straight she stands 
habit flapping blackly
her triple-bolted thin-lipped smile
pursed against assault, or love,
while children shuffle past
their tulip heads averted
from her scything gaze

Jimmy from the Chinese 
chip shop, smiling, filing past
What is so amusing? 
children freeze, ice-blooded
in breath-held silence.
"Lovely morning."

Sister Aloysius
unlocks her bolted lips
hisses a crack-small stream of air
allows a Yes
