Dumbstruck Is Me (a rhyming, acrostic kind of thing)


Discombobulated, how apt the word
Utterly gobsmacked by the absurd 
Mind numbingly mortified at the nonsensical 
By waking to find I’m without either testicle
Silenced as side by side they’re strung together
To hang on the wall there forever... and...

One-hundred percent Italian descent:
   four grandparents crossed the ocean, went
through Ellis Island, from Italy sent;
   my Italian roots, one-hundred percent.

But  D N A  samples now tested, ruled-
   genetic ancestry can have you fooled!
With full Italian descent overruled-

DUMBSTRUCK

Every time I am with you, I am dumbstruck,
overcome with excitement, being stuck
in feeling funky, groovy, crazy like I am seventeen.
Hard to behave like a lady, nearing seventy.

Sitting across you, gazing at your smiley eyes
while we talk, sip our drinks between our smiles,
makes me feel...

Ever notice some looking at a cell phone,
while they are walking along-   they just keep on talking;
or they are just looking and detached- and all else is unknown,
I watch them from my balcony getting off the bus and walking.

Now, the winding pathway...

he was not dumb 

but he struck his thumb

now he was dumb-struck

and screamed jolly good

his hand in plaster

and bad luck his master

he could not drive his truck


to bide his time

he drank some wine

set out to repair the computer

but there had been a looter

and thus without...

Her first date out was going to be groovy,                                    ...

That Dunning-Kruger thing is real;
I’ve read about it once or twice,
And so my grasp, I clearly feel,
Of how it works is quite precise....

I mowed my lawn in my red Jimmy Choos
Now there’s dog poop on my new shoes
My lazy neighbor's got an untrained pup
It poops on MY lawn - they don’t clean it up!


The lawn’s dotted with piles of dog muck
I’m gobsmacked in fact I’m dumbstruck
So I’ve...

"San Francisco, Open Your Golden Gate"

In my youthful primes some numerous years ago,
while Haight-Ashbury flickers in San Francisco,

ex-law enforcers, lawyers, demagogues all,
met in the solemn grand chambers of City Hall,
to pass a bill addressing our Golden Gate...

No one will say it

In exactly the same way

No one actually

Ever really did

Explain it

Either 

Did they

They never do 

When they are trying

To sell you something 

Otherwise you probably might

Just not have choose to buy it

In the first place then

Would you 

Come to think of it

Then...

It's fun having fun with English,
Children are smart, sometimes we're not;
Enjoy this, call it what you wish,
One of the wittiest I got,

"How many kidneys do we have?"
The teacher asked the bright young boy,
"Four", replied he, (what a brainwave!)
The teacher laughed, he did enjoy,

The boy explained,...

By things I see sometimes today
I’m dumbfounded and blown away.
I’ve seen folks driving far
all alone in a car.
Covid masks they still wear anyway.

I could see once a girl IN the pool.
Did a double take because that fool
kept the mask on her face
(though she swam with...

My circular corner garden
Is a somewhat crowded scene.
With hostas all around the edge
And day lilies in between.

But within the flowery circle
The grass is growing tall.
I’ve tried, but there’s no way
I can weed it out at all.

One day while on my porch 
I glanced out at...

Dumstruck - Dk

I am dumbstruck by the advent of invention
Not  jut in science and technology but also in art and writing
For now I create and share poetry without even knowing 
Poetry my first love
Art and craft my next 
We are now in an era...
