You Have My Permission To Shoot Me
( … if you catch me doing one of these.)

Naming any baby Finton, 
voting for Hillary Clinton, 
complimenting Nascar, 
moving to Nebraska, 
using "literally" to mean "very", 
calling Derry Londonderry, 
uttering the word "redact", 
claiming Johnny Depp can act, 
saying society's to blame, 
mentioning fifteen...

Alas! So Shoot Me, I Grieve What Was Lost

 

Alas! So shoot me, I grieve what was lost

Not just youth, but those things Time took away

Within aching heart comes an icy frost

Covering epic pains of such decay!

 

One may ask, how dare I so complain?

Mother said:  “always smile”

I smiled 

I am still smiling among others of my kind
In clusters of wrinkled cheeks and memory-laden souls
Beating too too many taut drums in a row. 

“When I’m that way” my father used to say,
“shoot me.  Doesn’t matter who has...

Instead all he got was a cookie.
He suffered his fate.

Because the poor girl then played hookie!!!!

Stab, Choke, Torture, Shoot To Kill
The rage that screams against the sky 
A battle ground of angry hate 
Death's anger looms; threat reaches high 
The rage that screams against the sky 
A voice it struggles to deny 
The venom 'fore it spews too late 
The rage that screams against the...

The mare was to far gone
and I had to put her down
There was nothing I could do
To help her make her back to town

Last Deer Hunt
It comes back to me in solemnity,
and I wistfully wish it wouldn't.
A willful case of killing it was—
a hunter doing what he shouldn't.

Father had taken me deer hunting,
thinking to make a man of a boy.
I prayed we wouldn't see a deer.
and we didn't—not one—such joy!
