I was on my way to school when it happened.
     You see, I never miss school and for me,
playing hooky has an entirely different meaning!

Well,
I was scrounging up some lunch along the way. 
By the by, the Mississippi river is a...

Like a tumbleweed aimlessly blowing in the wind
across the infinitely open and wide prairie land
(which wasteland famously epitomized by T.S. Elliot)
a barren vista ravages the metaphorical landscape 
of one measly mortal malcontent male
bumping and scraping along an accursed habiliment

Hallowed specters fill the air; 
goblins and ghoulies have no cares.
Hidden in the darkest night; 
creatures scramble with delight.

Glowing eyes and mournful howls;

Specters swirling with delight; 
flit too and fro beneath street lights.

The haul they take upon this eve;

I have four brothers.
I have three sisters.
I share with them love.

It's not always easy to love.

Those wonderfully funny brothers.
Each one easy to love.

Brothers, sisters, a family, filled with love....

I, A. Robbie - Ham guilty for gobbledygook...
and ruffling turkey feathers!

An innocent A1 miss steak kin kith

living social where Tigress and Euphrates 
converge and pool into Lake Wobegone  
necessitate extensible claws
to CAPTCHA unsuspecting top notch praise 
omnipresent among...

it is, what it is
what more can i say
one little alter can change
your whole day
at times we don't have the slightest clue
damned if we don't, damned if we do
no need to stress about it
forget feeling blue
just do like we did in the nineties
and sing Hootie...

A shooting star breaks the clouds,
among racing meteors.
Evergreens stretch to catch its' tail.
as an owl hootie-hoots with glee,
at the spectacle and cricket cheers erupt,
beneath this celebratory sky.

Sassy sobriquets schooled sissy spindleshanks...
studious sexagenarian skinny scruffy scribe

My utmost humblest apology
for inducing the following
cerebral calisthenics upon your cranium,
but the cost of friendship
with yours truly

We are making hot chocolate the witch twins lied.
I could not see exactly what the cauldron had inside.
But I suspected they were not giving us the whole truth.
They are diabolical, Mrs. Hootie Belle and Mrs. J. Ruth.

Grickley Grackle, and snackle fizz. They were stupefied by...
