Best Fare Poems

On a fine April day, set out in the great cruise ship, Titanic,
Into the pelagic waters of Atlantic, with the weather alluringly sweet.
Plush it was with beaming fellow travelers and amenities astounding.
A journey of great excitement under a star-studded sky at night.

With the crew so...

I invited a dragon to dinner
(That was almost the wrong thing to do!)
Have you ever seen what a dragon
can do to a bowl of beef stew?
The carrots were shrunken and shriveled.
The celery- quite a sad sight,
yet the dragon seemed rather delighted
as he gobbled up every...

NO EYEBALL TREATS OR GUT STEW?

Withering disgust

Farewell old pard, I write this letter to you. Well, I guess I’ll saddle up and ride out with my new pard, he’s only a colt at three.
He’s a real beauty, a real eye pleaser and sure of foot with a cutting pedigree.
I’ll go on...

To all the girls I've loved before
You know I always wanted more
But I could always see
Your love was not for me
But for a soulmate you adore

In dreams you found that love can grow
With someone you don't even know
And set my love aside
To be the blushing...

No longer will I search the stars for that bright
shooting star that bursts like a rocket through
the cobalt sky, exclaiming our love.
No longer will you hold me in your warm arms.
No longer will dawn steal my breath as twilight 
softly fades into a lavender sky.
No...

Donald and Rosie
Took a public bath
She’d animate the bubbles
He’d sit and do the math.

They raced to the playground
Jumped on verbal seesaws
Up went their issues
But down came the law.

Hopscotch was so hopeless
A game of stark bemoans
Instead of tossing pebbles
They started hurling bones.

They drifted to a fountain
Dropped...

just a little too tired today 
i've been waiting so long that there's 
an ache that just won't go away
clutching still at my teddy bears 
too tired to cry 
or say goodbye

just a little too sad today 
one place less in musical chairs
"i lost a...

Their fare in life wasn't fair



poor children play and sing
on pocket bread
they take to swings
others decry with dread 

sniffling at their looks
in playground scene
poor children mistook
in being good human beings

still they feel the vibes
the stares of their eyes
they hear of "go away"- the jibes
the status...

I've traveled from the farm in Indiana, the place of my humble birth,
To places I never dreamed of seeing all around this earth!
On ships, trains and airplanes visiting fascinating ports of call,
And dining in hoity-toity eateries, more than I can ever recall!

I've dined on such...

The way to cook up a good Limerick
Is to add the right words, then simmer it
But if it begets raunch
That’s unfit for your paunch
Then I wouldn’t touch it for dinner, ick!


         -and for dessert-


My gal loves to...

Sad war torn country
rolling hills spattered with blood,
lush green grass, to mud,
brothers marching off to war,
sons running off to their fate.

Fair thee well she said,
and kissed him upon the lips,
return to me love,
“Fair thee well my sweet Michael, 
Fair thee well, fair thee well now.”

As a human being weighed down by guilt, afraid, alone- traveling down a road more traveled, putting a tough act on- Shimmerings of light in the darkest of times and "almost tears" bound by worldly things and thinking God was going to zap me from...

Roast turkey with all trimmings
Cauliflower cheese
Goose fat roasted potatoes
Crisp pigs in blankets
Cranberry Jelly
Candles lit

Rivers of tears flows throughout the night
When one close to heart is out of sight
Yearning for joys we always impart
Moments we shared will always.....always beat my heart.

Shattering the time as we depart
Happy memoirs in my heart impart
Bundles of laugh may deaf an ear
Yet a gap...
