Don't You Hate When This Happens
A burr stuck smack-dab in the back
of his white tuxedo
Everyone pointing at it
He couldn’t quite reach it though
Balked at removing his tux

Mr AbbottMr. Abbott
Mr. Abbott bought a
steam powered Stanley
He felt it made him
look rather manly
He has a large
handlebar moustache
Constantly covered in
soot and ash
In his finery,
goggles and gloves
He would wave at his
imaginary loves
Over the hills
and over the dales
He would frequently stop
for supplies and sales
Horses...

They often ask me why I don’t wear festive clothes, why I don’t paint my faceThey often ask me why I don’t wear festive clothes, why I don’t paint my face,
Don’t you also like to shine in the light of a clear morning?
Oh, if only I could tell them that every act of beautification feels like just a veil over a wound,
As if I were hanging curtains over broken windows,...

Pink is
The color of grace and divine femininity
The color of my silk sheets and dainty clothing
Pink is like a flower
The color of love
Pink is the color of who I am and who I will forever be

In Your Easter BonnetShe, in her Easter bonnet
Standing beneath the shade,
Alongside gentlemen in top hats
To view an Easter parade
Church bells ring distantly
Showy, white lilies sway,
Waving to sweet daffodils
On this springtime holiday
Baskets with chocolate rabbits
Jelly beans and colored eggs,
Are carried by happy children
Running by on pudgy legs
A whirl of pastel colors
Meant to delight the eye,
Like...

There are more nos than yesesThere are more nos than yeses
when my wife goes to Talbots to try on new dresses.
Each dress has to fit her just so
that only her best features show.
And the rest she leaves up to wild-ass guesses.

What A Cracked Easter"Paint your words with pretty colors, as you paint your pretty eggs with color"
Before we know it,
Easter will bring a new outfit.
Colorful eggs will be here soon so don't blink,
dye your eggs~blue~yellow~purple~pink.
Pretty color eggs we will eat,
they taste much better than a red beet.
Oh no my new dress,
the egg made a big mess.
Cracked egg shells...

Attic Rummaging
unearthed belongings...
gasps of pleasant astonishment;
e u r e k a!
white elephants galore...
many treasures, too!
fallen into decades of desuetude
old clothes and shoes
to be donated to charity;
some books to be thrown away.
a silver locket, I thought lost;
inscribed with the word "Dreamer"
on the inside.
birthday gift many, many years ago
from my first love. wow!

Watching the "Mary Poppins" movie,
her outfit sure was Good and goofy.

Movie with popcorn is forever,
goofy honey is Great for pleasure.
Singing Extraordinary to hear,
beginning with the kids not a bear.
Some movies are timeless like this one....

Of Knights and SpandexThe knights that in histories lurk,
They never wore spandex to work.
O’er heroes today
That dress in this way,
The dragons, they snort and they smirk.

Do I pile on the covers
or do I lie there and shiver
