Best Going On Poems

I am a Burn’s Night baby
(named after the Ayrshire bard)
So we’re off to hunt a haggis
locating one is extremely hard

We scour the hills of Scotland
and have dull and rainy weather
There’s not a haggis to be seen …
they’re all hiding in the heather!

All of a sudden...

Nearing four A.M. and closing time...
He says,"one more with double lime" 
Meanwhile... brown eyes in the mirror gaze
She takes off his ring...puts on her face

Where makeup flows...more is required
Those telltale signs...sure cover hard!
Damn all those years...with pain condoned
She'll scream no more..She's got her going on

She's...

Mom in her apron
to the kitchen goes;
I watch her get out
ingredients that
she puts into rows.

Bubbling in me
is a child’s glee;
no meagerness
of eagerness!

The oven
door opens
and closes.

Love the
smell of

Pies!...

Parody of Sixteen Going on Seventeen Reprise from the sound of music

I’ve got a dicky heart
Surgeon’s been kind and relieved my mind
My ticker he can restart

But I wonder, should the worst happen
Will my life be the same
Energy low ,lost my...

Is it the West Wing is not the Best Wing?
Is it the White House is not the Right House?
Is it the President needs a New Residence?
Is it the Democrats the “New Aristocrats?”
Is it the Different Changing or Staff rearranging?

Life Would Keep Going On? (song version of If You Were Gone)

Someday if you ever chose to go,
This is what I would want you to know:
My life would keep going on.
I would allow you to go free,
To be who and where you’d want to be,
Without...

Going On Small Vacation

Went to sleep after much sedation;
Woke up and went on a vacation;
Forgot to bring paper to write
With pen and became  up tight;
More age on me was a formation.

WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON

     SOMETIMES I JUST HAVE TO ASK...WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON.
          AM I REALLY... HERE ON EARTH... OR DID I GO BEYOND.

March 1985.
The God-voice had been yelling at me to go to the library since I got the third child bathed and in bed,
And I had sat down for one measly second to relax. 
Joe?
What?

sixteen going on seventeen

caught up in her own mind
of fears and dreams
of love and lust
of sex and dreams
with no idea
of her place
or which path

caught up in her mediocreness
of her mediocre talents
of her dreams
of boys and men
of magazines
telling her who to be
what to see
what to write
what...

The haystack yields more than just giggles
It shakes first then wobbles and wiggles
A month has now gone by
Can someone tell me why
She now craves ice cream with dill pickles

I'm going on a cyberfast
some folks doubt, say it won't last
"What will you do, instead?" they ask
I'll lock the screen and blithely cast
the whole thing out, I'll have a blast
I'll read, I'll write, I'll live and bask
in warm sunlight, in nature's vast
delights, and daydream of...

Our debt’s sixteen trillion going on seventeen
Obama it’s time to think

Better beware coz your new health care
Is putting us on the brink

Our debt’s sixteen trillion going on seventeen
No reading between the lines

We are indebted and surely headed
For a dreadful decline

Totally unprepared are you,
To cut government...
