Much AdoHis poet’s way with words - far-flung,
Don’t get me wrong I love his tongue.
The words caress,
I acquiesce -
If only he were better hung.

Much Ado About NothingMuch “ADO” about nothing.
When I was a small child, a phrase I oft heard spoke
Generally just teasing, simply meant as a joke.
They might say of a person “That guys a “nit-wit”
Some might contend the speaker, that could fit.
As I sat there in the...

Much Ado About PooMuch Ado About Poo
We purchased so called “big boy pants”
complete with all their “cans and can’ts”
thought potty training a big mistake
till the day he yelled “I made a snake!!!”
Cats will cover up their load
horses drop it in the road
birds can do it while they fly
dropping...

Much Ado About AntelopeThe thickets were traitors,
Front and back they cut me down
Till I lost the sight of my buttery;
Gasping like blacksmith’s belows I asked:
What flesh did antelope even have?...

Much Ado About Nothing
Just picture this:
Our solar system with it’s Sun and its planets
The delicate dance around that the planets do
Now imagine an incredibly massive hair net
That holds all together like celestial super glue
Now try to conceive of the vast distances/space
between even the closest...or the most far
and how...

In a Day of the Life of a Bard Is Much Ado About NothingBy morn, and under cerulean skies,
he rises from sheets and soft pillows of down;
and gives praise; for the Lord is just and wise,
and great to behold by this earth all round.
By noon, he sets about...

Hail the Queen, We Bid You Ado“Maybe in your next life “Krishna said
Because we really don’t know what happens, after your dead
Well, our president has beat the charge
our military now list him as “at large”?
Tomorrow will still keep its Dawn
Because of a memory it must carry on
Will the criminals be...

Pipe Lines of Kaimu: Much Ado About PoiWelcome to a typical 'Luau' spread. The first thing that is best to learn is the Hawaiian word, 'ono', which means, delicious. It's a word bandied about before and after food goes in your mouth. In later years, it became a slang word as 'onolicious.'...

Much Ado About Nothing
Typical chest-beating testosterone
Braggadocios tales
of digital conquest
Wannabe pick-up artist
paint the Don Juan canvas con
lip sly palate best
Locker room omission
of depleted ego transmission:
repeated clicked dial tone
Boastful teen wolf puffs
ain’t saying piggly much
Nothing burgers be flipping the script,
phantom date ...
Monkeyshines gon tell you all about it
Mean...

AdoI must bid you adieu
In just three languages will do
Donadagohvi--Cherokee
Adios--Spanish you see
Goodbye--English the language of you and me.
(Ado means busy, noisy bustle etc. Hear I mean I am saying goodbye but I am busy.)...

Much Ado About YouHyacinths bloom around
These leather-bound pages.
New books, old floorboards,
Alternative trees.
The heady, balmy scent of
You is here in this bookshop:
Clean-cut dew on magnolia,
Spices and amber sap…
I recognise it on the threshold.
Two floors turned into a
Labyrinth of literature and
You are everywhere I turn.
Shelf upon towering...

Much Ado About Something“Much Ado About Nothing”
Romeo’s love doesn’t fall through,
As Tybalt piques his fancy too.
And Juliet,
Not in love yet
Chills out on Tinder and Temu.
William, don’t mind the premise pick,
The rhymes have moved on so to speak;
Short and lightweight -
It’s shooting...

Much Ado About NothingMuch ado
About nothing..
The much ado
Is the stage play
Life appearing
On a stage..
Nothing appearing
As the characters on
No stage at all..
Yet we on the stage
Seeking escape from
Tragi-comic scripts
Seeking desperately
For Nothing
Appearing as
Much ado...
(Crediting the
originator of
Much Ado!)...

Much Ado, a Nihil BrewIn the war of words, tongues wag,
Wit and jest, lies and insults, haggle for traction,
joining the ragtag rabble of riffraff chaff
blowing in the wind, littering the ground with trash.
Rumors spun, deceptions woven into a shroud of deceit.
There's so much ado, no adieu, nor regret
in the...
