Failure is with us every day
telling us to go for it on fourth and one;
more and more that’s done;
we listen to failure smiling cynically
as he whispers temptations in our ears.
You’d recognize the guy,
You’ve seen him lingering near,
first cousin to Mayhem on TV,
there’s a strong family resemblance.
But forewarnings don’t enhance
self-protective good sense
for the lot of us hooked on football games
as we urge our favorites on
to one more squeeky win
as the clock runs down to zero zed.
It’s just the same with soccer fans.
C’mon man! What more do you need
to recognize Failure’s hold?
You saw the game: that field goal
that hit the pole and then bounced off
the crossbar inches short of a score
was Failure giving us, all of us, the finger.
So now you’re an Eagle fan?
Take heed, man, Failure will linger.
Can downed Eagles hibernate? Bears can!
The solemn night's silence was
broken,
As needles pierces with a shrieking
sound bespoken.
So the growl of the wolverine breakthrough
the moonless night,
Waking up in a jolt, drenched in sweat,
what a sweet plight,
Lo, it was only a frozen case of a
nightmare awoken.
It's Hard To Grasp
How This Field
Of Probability, Uncertainty
And Super-Position...

Has Created This Monstrous
Need For Validation.
ROAR!

The wolf wind rakes its teeth
across the stanchions of paper birches
seeming to peel strips of bark
rolling back the pristine white flesh
to the tanned heart.
A puppy one day I brought home,
A jack russell you are,
You have beagle ancestors,
Having the beagle droopy ears
Your cute as can be,
You have some funny ways,
Dirty clothes you drag around,
Rolling on my sons bed,
Ripping the innards from shoes,
Growling at the dog in the mirror,
Growling at animals on the tv,
Some things you really hate,
Like that squirrel,
The word bath makes you shake,
Birds you chase away,
You love your walks,
You shake when putting your harness on,
You love cuddles and kisses,
If ignored you sneak attack,
You like licking ears,
To wake me up you use your paw,
You tap me on the head,
I wouldnt have you any other way.
A cheetah was caught on the prowl,
Enticing the females with growl.
He’d vanish by night,
To mate with delight~
A lifestyle that makes others howl.

The year was nineteen forty three
back then crime was more
then a mere slap on the knee
Life in the mines was very good
in fact so good that Bo got a gold tooth
planted in his beautiful mouth
When all the ladies saw him smile,
they lined up single file ! ! !
Then one evening he went out for his cig
and a gangster from the big saloon
stole his tooth and sold it for a crown;
He have it to his mama
who worked at the canteen
Every day she'd pipe to the miners
"ain't I fancy look at me !"
giving it a polished rag shine;
The miners would grrrrr GROWL ...
"that tooth should be mine"
though she laughed and guffawed
they did not applaud,
regardless of that, when Bo came to dine
she flashed him a smile ... every time.

The rockets rain down again
With explosions ripping then
And the war dogs growl and rage
With another war in Palestine’s page
Hamas strikes and kills
With civilian blood that spills
Do we see justice again
Or just more hearts hardened then
There are justifications made on each side
With fists pumping against what they cannot abide
And what is left for the world to see
Faces pleading staring back at me.

Sky, why are thou angry so much?
Growling at my soul this much
I feel it's comfort as such
I put my hand to feel the touch
Pita pata rain drops to the ground
Don't care it is squared or round
A pleasant environment is what you found
A track of light I saw touching the ground
Come my dear to enjoy this
With a boat ride with me
Making sounds as pita pata hiss
Nobody enjoys as much as we
I have heard enough of your growl;
I am well aware of your prowl.
When you wear angry frown,
You appear like a clown.
Why waste time expecting my howl?!
A frightening sound
is just heard in the distance,
as white clouds turn gray.
getting
more and more
protective
particular
and selective
with my time
truth is
i refuse
to have others decide
how to squander
what I have left
life is too short
to waste
