Googled and Bamboozled
Googled and Bamboozled 

When she saw my eyes they both were googled
Causing her to be dumfounded and bamboozled
And then ended up becoming completely baffled
When off all my entire brains had been raffled.

How big of a hint do you ever have to receive?
Before belligerent mind soon...

Refusal To Be Bamboozled

Immersed insecure among the books,
Hides the anti-Christ naturalist.
The bamboozled crowd awe in unison
And look impressed (something new) to witness.
As members of the mob mentality,
Unable to comprehend originality,
The artist’s intentions of creativity
In the presentation of reality.
“No artist tolerates reality,” says Nietzsche
(His reasoning is...

Gobsmacked and Bamboozled and Confused
Gobsmacked and bamboozled and confused

I peeked into the oven where the baking dishes slept
resting in a pot of onion stew
Couldn’t help but laughing, they were snoring as they wept
dreaming of a casserole or two

Picked a card while on the deck next to an old fruit...

Bamboozled was is worth the energy and efforts for matters of

         the heart? was it just an illusion? A game of hocus-pocus mislead

Bamboozled By Trump
Bamboozled By Trump

After reading more notes and their perusal,
They all referred to Trump and his refusal;
Income information to release,
So we should call the police
Before he again all of us does bamboozle.

Please explain this to me…
This has me completely
and thoroughly gobsmacked
bamboozled and confused
Where do people get off
Feeling entitled
Thinking they don’t have to
Work to earn what they get
Thinking life should be easy for them
While they have absolutely
No compassion for anyone else
Quite satisfied the world
Revolves around them
And only...

As much as some would disagree
Laziness is a huge part of most of us
Some pretend to make an impression
Hey look at me, I'm smart as you can see
Hopefully the viewer will be bamboozled
And be taken in by how this person looks
Fancy words he uses and...

Gobsmacked, Bamboozled and Confused


I was gobsmacked, bamboozled and confused
when they showed me worn out crayons never unused

for the lines they were destined to stay within
were taken as a challenge - not a whim

as the fists that clutched the colors misunderstood
the concept of the lines -...

Gobsmacked, bamboozled and confused
— how to get one day back.
Imagine if one day was robbed of all its good and bad?
Perhaps a wedding, now she’s a virgin again-
he doesn’t remember the present he unwrapped last night.
Or a baby sucking its thumb back in the darkest...

Lulled to lie
on what appears to be
a bed of roses;
sinks into well-concealed quicksand.
