Best Hoosegow Poems

I write-
mellifluous    sweet murmuring poems-
gossamer whispering words

a labyrinth     twisting     and turning

serendipity writes
and woebegone sadramblingswithtears
and all I want to do is share
my feelings

sweet murmuring poems-gossamer

but here come the don'tdoitgang 
a labyrinth    twisting...

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

Damn all those years...with pain condoned
She'll scream no more..She's got her going on

She's...

When we retired we were so inspired:
To live free and rest from our labors.
This mobile home park has lived up to the mark,
But oh, goodness gracious, the neighbors.

Jay the old peeper can snoop through the creeper
And tell if the ladies are bathing.
At times he's been...

Adam mused and stroked his beard saying, "I've really got it made!
All I do is eat and sleep and lie beneath The Tree Of Life for shade!
That is until a couple of weeks ago when God put me in a trance!"

Well, here I sit a-sweatin' and a-thinkin' in the hoosegow in old Santa Fe.

To discuss the demise of a moose he was suspected of havin' poached.

Dreamin' with my eyes on these Montana skies
Blue as the plaid in my plum good shirt
I got the mitten by a beauty queen smitten
By a flannel mouthed tenderfoot from the Wyoming dirt

Jumble and Rumble went on a road trip to Kalamazoo
Frightening folks along the way for it is what monsters do.
They met a lively wedding part of seventy-two.
Most had imbibed salty green margaritas, more than a few.

Okay...

If she heard one more yeehaw or giddy up she would croak.
Being a greenhorn in Texas horse country is not a funny joke.

He was a free-spirited chap from the day of his birth.
Even his long-suffering folks doubted he'd be of much worth!

There's a bright yellow inn,
each room is...

she has never met...

If caught, I'll just call it a wee prank
If cops don't allow 
Put me in the hoosegow
I'll make friends with a felon and break ranks...

I am hitchhiking rides to Britt, Iowa this week, and I’m not green.
Fully intend to be named the glorified, brand new 2021 Hobo Queen.
Wish people marked cars like they put hobo symbols on a fence post.
I do not wish to get in with an axe...
