(For a blind man…)
Sighted vision is a mystery.
Whether sitting on the divan,
Busily washing a dishpan,
Or sitting outside getting a tan.
Jon, them thin hands see.
Whether using salt and not cayenne,
I declare you amaze me, man.
You work and live industriously.
I remain your biggest fan.
Jon, them thin hands see.
Whether riding in a sedan
Or walking on the street,
You always greet the folks you meet.
Friendship never does retreat.
Independently living my dear friend.
Jon, them thin hands see.

As Chubs Run
Chubs run like marathon winners
Laden with potato sacks
Heavy legs, aching backs
Rolls of fatty flapping
Slap Slap slapping
Huffing to get thinner

A creature with one horn,
Is quite fierce enough.
But a creature with ten?
That’s incredible stuff!
The rhinoceros, true,
Is a force to behold.
But the Terrible Ten Horn,
Is terror untold.
Pull back the curtain,
A coin for a show.
A peek at the beast,
And what do ya know?
He sits on a couch,
Eating chips from a can?
He drives a Ford Ranger?
He’s the average man.

I go to church and say amen once a week
But in my boat and in my spot
I am much more patient, quiet, and meek
I toss my line it’s just the right shot!!
Again, I will say amen as the bass does grin a lot.

Can anyone call it any other name really at all?
Licking finger good, has been used in some form.
Anyone else has famous sayings, which never fall.
I myself really do not chicken either in calm or storm.
My wife loves chicken, made anyway except raw.
Chicken is one of the most inexpensive meats to eat.
Has been made in almost a million ways for many meals,
Individual pieces or whole, prices can never be beat.
Canned or fresh, they are stored to last in different seals.
Kentucky is a major relation since a colonel, we did meet.
Enjoying this foul many do every day, while making deals.
Now I draw a close to my anagram name in great defeat.

ANAGRAMMATICALLY SPEAKING: NECK DYE SPY
(PROBLEMS OF MUM-DESIGNER ’S EMOTIONAL UPSET)
Mum carefully inspects son’s neck for dirt;
Pays medical injury expense for his leg-joints hurt.
Good boat-design preserves celestial view above;
But forgot keys for furniture in house-move.
Use fast and energetic internet writing;
Watch for bad stains on material due to crying.
Peek, spy, seek neck’s speck;
See knees spend dense pence.
Deep end-deck keeps sky-scene seen;
Pesky desk needs keys . Send!
Speed-pens need dynes! Yes, seek Skype!
Eyes peed. Spy dye seep deep.

expressed in anagram-form in the second stanza.

To Lord Ram I sent my soul
Some letter of that after-life to spell
And my soul returned
Answered, “I, myself am Heaven and hell”
Then I tried Christ as an alternative
That I nurse a sacrificial motive
Soon I got the answer in negative
It’s in heaven is now inactive.
I thought I am short of ram
I am marred by His Arm
Need more memories before harm
To be worthy of his charm.
Then an old man like me came to my door
Walking with a small stick,
With his hand on back with pain
Thought to be a medicinal doctor.
Keeping the show on, gave him a long oar
Walked away with décor
I thought my ram memories in perfect order.

The poem is patterned on my poem "Installed ram by RAM in Ram"

Wafts greeted me at the door already
Dreaded going inside, not knowing
If a clash between right and wrong
Was on the schedule again
It’s become a routine
His manners replaced,
Like his cologne
Surpass by
A wine
Smell
