One Night of InsanityInsane, absurd these images haunting me
I stand at a cowards stance
To watch the witches ride the trees
In the darkness of my room no light is shown
I bleed with my knife in my hand
From the cuts I have made on my own
A cup filled with a...

In place. CJ informed "More

Are expected to be here within
The hour." Damian said, "with 300 plus
Relatives expected today it
Will be a major impossibility to meet
Every family member." The...

Humus Me My Vegetated Chokes IngestHumus me? My vegetated chokes ingest!
(jokes all in jest)
Hard to believe, I orange in a lee
started life as barely visible speck!
Just in the course of healthy growing
season, this former minute nearly
microscopic entity developed into
quite pleasing nose cone herbivorous
specimen, though modesty restrains
me to rattle off an...

Baby BluesI be foolin' 'round the playground;
Had my teddy by my side.
I be foolin' 'round the playground,
When she took me for a ride.
Thought I'd always be a swinger;
Now I'm goin' down the slide.
Gonna rock and roll this morning;
Rattle off to shaky town.
Gonna rock and roll...

Lady With the Pink Fuzzy Floppy HatIf you ever espy a latitudinally
and longitudinally challenged
older yet shopping savvy woman,
(wedded to yours truly
for almost twenty six years),
who stands approximately
four feet and ten inches
a strong hunch that gal
stacks up as mine missus,
she dons costumed headwear
to avoid station identification,
whenever she steps out
into the public limelight
anywhere...

And I will rattle off a joke
At some poor souls expense
But words will never hurt me...

Soporific Narcoleptic Pull Wielded Courtesy Innocent Looking BedHypnagogic spell immediately cast
overpowering drug induced state fast
overcome even those who just woke

bajillion years (hyperbole to wake

Goodbye To Yesterdays...Stomping on the medals of the race before we win
and the most we ask each other is to rattle off, begin
Begin to conquer freedom with the hollows of our past
as we cut a slice off life's big pie just hoping it will last
Shooting at each...

Snake SlayerI have a ‘snake slayer,’
a derringer I carry
when hiking in dry States.
So when I saw the coiled rattlesnake
sunbathing on a dusty track
I unholstered,
ready to unleash some primitive instincts,
oddly though
I chose, ‘instinctively’
to step backwards for a spell
and work my way around it.
I could have...

The GenieIf you had a genie in a bottle
and it told you that you could make any 3 wishes
You would not wish for gold
you would not wish for riches
you would not wish for fame.
You would wish for wars to end
Student loans to be forgiven
poverty to be...

I leave buying food at the market to the spouseI leave buying food at the market to the spouse...
one helluva comparative
humdinger savvy shopper,
who can rattle off the best buy
for most any given item,
at the drop of a hat
analogous to baseball fanatic
(unlike myself who knows and cares
nothing about the game)
spewing forth Batting average (BA),
on-base...

Children of the ParadeSnot nosed, barefoot
Chanting, walk the streets
Spit flies from mouth, food on cheek
Green, ripe, and free
Dirty and unkempt
Unbridled and unmanageable
Wild child
Dolls and toy trucks
Mudpies and hopscotch
Bugs and jump rope
Torn clothes, holes in socks
Scraped knees and mud on shoes
Marching on, they're marching on
They're marching on
Drums rattle, off...
