Best Proprietors Poems

COUNTRY STREAM

Gentle flow and sky blue
With a thatch hut reflected
See a multitude of ducks
And they as good as proprietors

Oh the simple wash of it all
Lazy    carefree movement
A country pair stand down stream 
Content      apparently   ...

In my dream
Thomas Jefferson pops out a pilgrim
in The Jeffersons family,
proprietors of Chinese laundries
on the best end of Main Street’s forested path
emerging toward Sanford and Sons 
and Daughters Recycling Dump.

Here, midst polyglot stone soups
both informing and deforming,
occasionally reforming
without asking permission first
to speak without listening
and act...

The following events all occurred

Twas the night before Christmas I went shopping suits,
As shoes looked rat-eaten, needed also warm boots;
Sales girls, in malls displayed suits in variety,
Blown up cost and lean purse grew my anxiety...!

Malls are looters, I thought, like the fox and sour-grapes,
Have proprietors, owing greed, have become...

Limerick crochetes : Once a Bull-Frog of a French Syndic

Part One 

Once a Bull-Frog of a French Syndic
Croaked Janitress Porc-U-Pine music
She found much in common
With Janitress-Husband
They sucked Co-Proprietors' Council sick

Now Janitress had much lard to spare
Front back cheeks belly thighs but spare hair
So Bull-Frog humped...

The end of another day 
came to the Ravelston Estate, 
and the workers were again 
making their way back from the fields.  

And in keeping with the hour, 
Lord Andrew and cousin Carla 
lied ever so very tired 
on two overly stuffed divans. 

But...

WHAT   ANNOYS   YOU?

Downstairs neighbor, whose rabbits eat most of my marigold
And a good deal of my lettuce and spinach  too,
Even though I have often, calmy and collectedly, told
Him to try to keep control of his livestock or he will rue.
Other...

We stage a dazing drama
Impetuously unfolding with scenes
Spelled by our minds and moods
Where all things happen
With the scripts discarded
 
We watch keenly a curious comedy
Everyone scheming for greased palms
Gone...when the rules were without exceptions
When shady kingpins bow to Justicia
And their sizzling sleaze unraveled
Now justicia sick...

ever since *****Sapiens didst
   insinuate, elbow and barge
humanity at the mercy sans, small, medium
   (Strunk and White) elemental forces at large

which indiscriminate merciless whims extant

The Spice Up Your Life Market is quite well hidden
no need to follow the arrow if you just listen
and follow the Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme tune
the proprietors favorite song that fills his market room

The irony is most folks want to go to this market...

Sincere effort they are always giving.
Those guys work hard for a living.
Good service is what their customers demand.
The proprietors wash all laundry by hand.
All of the whites will never look whiter.
Anything with color will never look brighter.
Since they came to this country,
They do their best...

Water - fall

An ocean of breathing
Indrawn to gather
Light sustaining
Swimming the patina of enchanted eyes
A myriad of scintillating bodies
Dancing
Permeating everything

Such colour forming in Day-Glo
Sunlight breaking
The night time beach of stars
Waves eternity into being
These proprietors of the heavens
Transmit informing messages sent deep into my soul

Sweeping green from...
