Eating Crow With New CollaborationsNo matter how some complain and bellow
they are exposed, each a trolling fellow
I'd look them in the eye
for telling one more lie
but I heard they're too busy eating crow

Horace's Turtle SoupHorace the tortoise was ready to dine
He ordered his food, while the waiter poured wine
They bought the first course, (a huge bowl of soup)
But, the bowl had a rabbit who was swimming in loops!!
"Oh waiter! Come quickly!"..."There's a hare in my soup!!"
And soon other patrons,...

Clean Your PlateFrom the very moment my Mom taught me how to use a spoon,
From her mouth was uttered that old familiar tune:
"The kids in Asia are starving, now Bobby, clean your plate!"
Her admonition was final and left no tolerance for debate!
I tried to foist upon the...

Dining In An Army MessI became familiar with intriguing chow in the army mess,
Tho' I savored their chipped beef and gravy I must confess!
But some of their culinary efforts left in my mind some doubt,
That my wily recruiter didn't know what he was talking about!
Invariably for lunch and supper...

Private Roscoe D. Schlink Arrives At Fort FumbleDear Folks: Here I am at beautiful Fort Fumble, Louisiana.
I sure wish I was back on the farm in Bean Blossom, Indiana.
Already I've learned the army pastime of "hurry up and wait!"
And that sergeants ain't very nice - they just love to berate.
Sergeants met us...

Landslide
Landslide
Avalanche; executing terrible
approached unexpectedly and
Made everything despair;
Torn out, worn out
Making cry and mourn
Landslide came;
Vulnerability inclined;
Along with the despair
Lost out torn out
Hubbub came, cry came;
Landslide welcomed grief
Happiness lost, grieved out
“Mom, Mom….” Son yells
Heard from the distance
Within a minute;
Got soundless
Unbearable the scene
Pathetic and suffering
Reaped out, chopped out
Fatal...

Don'T Go Near the RiverDon’t go near the river a tree has fallen down
The flow is blocked and it caused a dam if you fall in you could drown
But to us children this an invitation was
A big happening in our lives we had to see the cause
Of course we...

It!IT
See how things droop
It’s cloudy REALLY socked-in
With just a few drops
Humidity?
High!
Been that way all day
It always starts from the shoulders down
Parts of me feel? ummm slimy
I’ve poured a cup of strong coffee...

Stay-At-Home Pig - Nursery RhymeThat little piggy who chose to beg off
going to market, stayed home with a cough.
He bragged he was a cut above
butchering, "when push comes to shove
I will always be king at the food trough."
While "king" was napping in the...

Love Story ( How I Met Me Wife)She sat on the bench eating a pear
My eyes were drawn to her in an eye-popping stare
She was shorter than me so I was in love
I have to have this woman, an angel from above
She worked in a restaurant across the way
So I would...

Exhibition In MemoryAbstracts hang:
sterling silver frames,
matted in motif,
celebrating Artist.
An exhibit, ten years old,
collects dust, forcing recollection.
The mortuary – Boyhood Curiosity.
Mother: Naked. Stretched. Stiff. Grey.
Tin baking dishes engulfed the counters.
Great aunts and second cousins crowded our sofas.
Somber chatter and pats on the head stung.
Clasping my girl’s hand, I...

The Year of the TurtleWe carried it home in a salty pail;
the bones of a monster.
Freddy said it was an alien;
his dad had seen their ships
shining like sixpences
in the sky.
When we tipped the bucket,
seawater and bones slopped.
For a moment
the loosely strung carcass swam.
I wondered if it was a small...

Have a House WarmingSailing On A Sleek Sloop
We went sailing on a sleek sloop
Then had to stop for bowl of soup
When hungry both started to be
Boat slopped and got all over me
Sank according to latest scope.

Is that when you are traumatized
Things sticky...
