Flagrante delict adulterous sordid behavior 
automatically linkedin with Lothario;
an unscrupulous seducer of women, 
based upon a character 
in The Impertinent Curious Man, 
a story within a story 
in Miguel de Cervantes' 
1605 novel, Don Quixote.

[the spirit of this was written after hearing KISS', "I was made for loving you"]

I keep hearing that aliens
Have thought-interfacing technology
And if I put forth the intention
This beacon will bring them to me
I'll also make the assumption

Whether the weather 
necessitates to anchor 
     myself as a tether

Sitting on front porches, old folks I remember, 
in the shade filtered Arkansas heat, spitting snuff into mason jars,

On dusty golden summer Sunday afternoons, Chicken dinners...

Applies her makeup
Grabs that glam getup
May put on odd airs
Acts as if she cares
Giggles to lowbrows
Wiggles with highbrows

Dips downright dazzling
So no big to-do
For this ingenue...

I sat myself, by myself…..
Tired, tired of waiting.
Inside I sit like a potted cactus,
Gussied up for the pic.

Like a potted cactus
Gussied up for the pic....

Freely forming metrical mainstays
poetic occasion to phrase
the fairer and gentler sex,
thus the following turns of phrase
to bestow acknowledgement

regarding wonderful wise ways

A field day shoe fit for Mother Goose
  
Fruitless effort squeezing figurative juice
Pandora called triggering 
helter skelter to get loose
necessitating Bullwinkle J. Moose
to usher at yours truly

Hey diddle diddle the cat and the fiddle

Circa - approximately early
to late nineteen sixties,
     where yours truly
found himself surly,
particularly compounded

Bully me you, I exemplified archetypal scapegoat

Even as an old curmudgeon, aye pucker
and raspily suction, albeit toothless mouth
drawing reminiscent guffaws affecting

flushed with satisfaction,
now snakes into following non sequitur,
whereby then upperclassman,
whose name Scott Lambert

Excusing yourself as if...
going to the bidet,
an immense water closet
(perhaps the size of

derriere exquisitely, and, delicately
intricately, chiseled wrought with cloisonne

ah...enjoying...
