the rapid beating
of a giving heart sublime ...

True stories are often the saddest, so go to another poem if you 
are afraid of this one.
Seventy-five years ago a Mommy died leaving a boy of two 
with her husband, a farmer.
The husband was a father, but no Daddy; 
he plopped the motherless child...

Tickety Tockety!
Jason the Clockwatcher
Has eight more hours until
He can go play.

Temporal oddities!
Unsynchronology!
Mentally done but just
Starting the day....

I love thee
I cherish thee
I feel you are forever meant for me

When you are sighted
I am filled with so much joy
I coo with ecstasy
And so want to caress thee

If ever I pass you by
I am with sorrow overcome
For I know I have lost
 An opportunity...

Why I Plan to Skip My 55th Class Reunion

By Elton Camp 

We were “The Ones Who Really Rate”
That is to say, “Senior Class of 58”

At the 50th reunion, I got a bad surprise
I found that I couldn’t believe my eyes

It made me gasp and then...

SKIP TO MY LOU! ©

Harmonizing rhythms
Rotations synchronize to
Skip to My Lou
My Darlings

Couples take up ends
Two turn rope 'required'
Like me with you

Two ends
One jumper
Take turns
Work ends timing.


Double Dutch
Double quick
Pavement recounts
All the licks!

Skipped times
Challenges anew
Missteps loose turns
Rope Splits
Stop...

It really looks like success is at hand

Sleep apnea is finally at bay

Guess I'm good for another few years

Hallelujah! Oh happy day

I'm waking up singing a happy refrain

Have an extra skip in my step

Thought I was done for, the jig was up

For my parting I...

Time permits limited patience & heartbeats
being understanding & holding on
Not hearing from you skips another heartbeat....

Sweet morning sunshine --
Damn you how I
despise this labor
that lies ahead.

The cousin of Grizzly Adams’
patiently waits with the
ancient white pickup truck
he ran me over with while I slept.

Off we go with the toolbox
dancing in the bed and it’s a band
of pots and pans, the opening...

Into deep woods I strolled one day, with my twin sister,
For if I had gone alone, I surely would have missed her.
We were looking for wild strawberries, but we got lost,
Under the warm sun shining, as breezes blew very soft.

We wandered for a while, then...

Ella was an old woman
Who wanted to learn to skip
She held tightly to the rope
So she would not lose her grip

Tossing the rope over her head
That's when everything went awry
Her face went extremely red
As the rope hit her in the eye

This did not defeat her
She...

Looking at my computer screen for
‘Unfinished writings’
I found this
“Added customer . . .
Press backspace to remove”
And I envisioned a harried store clerk
Or a call-in service person
Smiling and pressing a key
And the irritating customer
Disappears
----------------------------------------------
 
And on the same ‘page’:
“Skip to content”
Which could refer to meeting a...

Britainers have no idea of distance
Ontario to B.C. is just a hop, skip and a dance
About 3,000 miles
London to Aberdeen 450 miles
Holy crap, no chance to change your underpants...

If you have a weak stomach skip this one
Last chance.
Squeamish around gooey smelly stuff?
Second last chance.
Pass on by honey, and quickly.

My dog threw up today.
not once. Six times.
Each pile a little bigger than the one before it.
It was a coral color, and smelly. Gooey. Piles...

Skip and Jack would cut no slack.
When someone crossed theyr'e wires.
They didn't hold back their tough attack.
They'd proceed to slash your tires.

One day when they both fell asleep.
Somebody stole their dreams.
Now when they pray for souls to keep.
They see God in their beams....
