Birds Of A Feather

Is it a gaggle of geese
as the sky turns red
or skein of ducks
flying overhead instead
into the wild blue yonder
and as the crow flies
it's not a murder
nor a tidings of magpies
there's more than one
(for sorrow)
the question I did surely ponder
as they flew into the setting sun
with sparrows I have no quarrel
and yet with the wisdom of

Lock, stock, and barrel

A
sexy
blonde bombshell
fresh and footloose
notoriously 
enticing, ensnaring
dragged me by my nose-ring
bewailing, bemoaning made me
walk down the aisle towards the altar
intentionally intimidating.

Always Be Bottom of Barrel

small animal feral
always be bottom of barrel
some who are sterile
wear weird apparel
named Cheryl or Carol
named Darrel or Harold
named Merrill or Jerald

a barrel of monkeys

a barrel of laughs
butts a barrel of bullets~
a barrel of oil

Surfing the tides of life

Surfing the tides of life 

I'm still riding the waves duck diving my way through 
Or occasionally having to ask for a hand and toe in when I need to, 
Sometimes I'm amped and pop up and ride a perfect ten without any hassle, 
I can make it, I'm charging, it's as if I'm a

The Barrel of Little Monkeys

"The Barrel of Little Monkeys" 


Gorilla warfare took a new turn,
when the children like chimps,
followed the voice of their Overlords;

they adored them once, 
but then,
some things 

can NEVER be forgiven. 

The number like www 
drew their parents in first,
and then, what’s worse,

it drew them in, 
those little monkeys
out of the barrel,

shotgun

In a Barrel

The Poconos was not the premiere honeymoon spot.
The delivery, not far from the rushing rainbow knot.
Not anywhere, near my entrance, when love calls.
I might have gushed out, in a barrel, over the falls.

Could I navigate the canal, the Erie? Where do I land?
Amidst the history of bible hacks and medicine - withstand,
as generations  were

Bottom of the Barrel

Imagine a standard barrel of crude oil – 42 gallons.
The barrel unit of measure dates back to 1859
When Pennsylvania oil wells were first drilled
And the wooden ‘tierce’ wine cask
Holding 42 gallons and weighing about 300 pounds
Was about all one man could maneuver.

Today, a barrel of crude oil sells for about eighty dollars,
About half the retail

Songs From a Barrel

I’m a ‘bar-back’, I stack,
I pull up the crates, unpack and rack.
I hump boxes of glasses in,
then I hump them out again.
I roll barrels into a hand-cranked elevator,
then roll the empties into the club cellar
where they now lay stinking.
The dude who’s supposed to hose them out,
has skipped. In this town
a citizen was chopped up,
and left

Sharing Laughter and My Barrel of Blue Monkies

I am drawn to your form 
-why is it yours?

Perhaps just a chemical bond forged in youth
life's true mystery, 
You and I..
the errant sleuth. 

Decided now, no perfect moment -now or hereafter 
without one in yours.. 
no finer mind,
no brighter laughter..

Spill out my barrel of blue monkies on your floor   
-you remember, don't

The Last Barrel

Like wine,
these older days
are vintage

Aging,
as each days number
declines

Ripe
in the tannin
of what remains

Rich
in the sweetness
of time now past

The vines
to wither
—in memory lost

Hazy, Lazy, Crazy Days of Summer

Hot, humid, hazy
Weather's driving me crazy
Making me lazy

Need a draft of cool
To rejuvenate this fool
Roll out the barrel

No draft of cool air
Roll out the barrel of beer
Draft of ale my dears!

So my health won't fail
Lift up your glasses my friends
Toast each other, cheers!

Fish In a Barrel

Group together in unity
parroting as though a carol
think clever of this lunacy
grouped like fish in a barrel
