Ballad for the Wacky Waving Inflatable Tube-Manair rockets skyward
uppercutting inside
plastic neon flesh
contorting at inhuman angles
what does my body language spell?
ankles anchored into the Earth
to stay grounded as the wave
of time and space crashes
a flood of stagnant flux
there is a symphony of bones
snapping and cracking
in twisted orchestrations
the act of existing for me

Boob Tubewatching the boob tube

PBS is good
got me through grade school
use to watch Hunter
Virginia
on Friday nights
the step daughters
loved their Baywatch
eighty-six
world series
eyes were glued
Red Sox
they lost
shucks...

Jimmy the TubeJIMMY THE TUBE
Here's the story of Jimmy the Tube
who greased his mind with stupid lube.
He watched TV day and night
end result he wasn't bright.
While watching ball one afternoon
in through the door walk three big goons,
New World Order nazi guys
looking for some exercise.
They took their sticks...

London Tube Explosion 2017LONDON TUBE EXPLOSION 2017
Another explosion in London today
When will they learn to go away?
General public hurt yet again
These terrorists are a real big pain
Setting off a device in a public place
You’re no member of the human race
Hurting people doing their daily chores
You certainly won’t...

You Can Put Anything On U-TubeThey are speaking about their U-Tube channels.
One says he makes about fifty bucks a month with his.
I am amazed, not seeing him as a singer, dancer, or entertainer.
What do you put on your channel? I ask him.
All of these fifth grade boys begin shaking their...

Boob's TubeMy TV quit today
God saw fit to take it away
Big ol ice storm came along
Knocked that boob tube
Off his throne.
Cable company doesn't care
They think I can just sit and stare
At a blank screen with no sound.
People I'm not kidd'n round
My way of life has run...

No You Tube FilmThe singer’s throat is very sore,
In fact, she’s rather hoarse,
And now there’s been a power cut -
No ‘You Tube’ film, of course…
for PD’s contest...

Lonely Clone In a Test TubeToxic bones from the Jurassic
Walking amongst the masses
Current classes of classic
Acidic in shattered glasses
Sliding into yesterday
Their dancing shoes soulless
Catching on the high fever
Intoxicated on their madness
My clone is sitting alone
I watch him like my own reflection
How his problems he also likes to postpone
He...

You Tube KazooElmer Fudd learned how to play the kazoo
He felt he needed to do something new
First he would inhale
Then he would turn pale
Oops! His kazoo was a You Tube taboo...

The Victoria Line
hanging straps and travel apps.
beeping doors and littered floors.
rocking cars and metal bars.
rattling track and aching back.
ticket fare and lack of air.
bags on lap and 'mind the gap'.
heavy heat now WARREN STREET:
Way Out.
Places.
Platform spaces.
Cell Phones. Faces.
Adverts every too few paces.
Noone cares.
Moving stairs....
