The condo Kookaburra's
Every thing was fine.
No one complained, and then
one fated day the Kooka burra's came..
People who never learned to keep in their own lane.
They never read our regs., which is very plain,
at first they claimed one half the parking in their own name..
Mr. Kook's crochety, petty, and a bully.
Mrs. Kook's gossipy and engages in tom foolery..
The

Cautiously Landed On Condo
Birds cautiously landed on condo,
Then they were sure to look below;
Did burp;
Sang a chirp,
After seeing Trump stub his big toe.

Condo Bird Houses On a Pole
At a flea market
Assortment of items
Spread our to be sold
From food to clothing
Jewellery and more
One vendor had
A variety
Of birdhouses
In different styles
One really stood out
It was so different
Four birdhouse on
a pole
I call them condo's
Home for the birds
They are lucky birds
They live rent free

Ollie
"Why you sitting out here Dele?",
She squeaked.
"You gonna be those tiny bitters' food!",
She exclaimed.
If there ever was more to Ollie,
It'd be more squeaks and exclaims.
I sits on the stairs out on the porch.
She makes to draw myself up,
I stay stubborn still.
Even in ninety, I still got flesh;
Not only sack of bones, so I still heavy.
She

Do You Have a Minute
Back in upstate New York
she was a girl with stars in her eyes
She hopped a freight out westward
And tried Vegas on for size
Off strip hotels, little shows
Young Delores danced with glee
She was working in Las Vegas
the home of Jubilee
"Do you have a minute folks?'
"Do you need tickets for a show?"
"Will you be in town tonight?"
"There's

Baby - Milk and Condo
The milk glass filled to the top
Drops forty stories or more from the condo complex
Explodes magnificently on the concrete ground
There is nothing more exhilarating than this shattering
This breath taking sound, glass breaking, chaotic thrills
Forces at work in childhood to save mistakes
A hand grasping at the glass all the way down
To undo the unfathomable

Condo Hunting
See what brochures describe:
Style a style for strange tribe!
So many accolades
To strike a pose for trade.

With picturesque view and scheme.
So here's to appetites
That chew upon a bite.
So come and take a look:
Don't miss a chance to book.
So soak that dream come true:
It's really up to you.
So make your counting hook:

Condo Commando Landings
Condo Commando Landings
They came in shiny silver saucer shaped air ships
With cylindrical flashing red lights in the night
From Planet New Jersey
Alien space crafts…. I mean .… weather balloons, (according to NASA)
From many light years…. I mean… traffic lights away
Landing in Miami first with a thirst for power
They slithered from the… ‘Weather balloons” in zombie brigades
Heads

A Cemetery's Condo
Every morning, an overview of death’s tombstones is perched outside my window taunting
and haunting me with the scent of a hollow kiss. The worst case is not this thing called death
but the abuse of love that my parents fill into my bruised soul, a child I am no more but I
can

Condo Cowboys
Those condo cowboys are clingin’ to things that used to be,
Starin’ out those city windows or sittin’ on balconies.
They can still smell the country, the ranch, the horses and the range—
At times they wear cowboy hats, though folks might think them strange.
And like those cowboys long ago, they’re roamin’ in their soul,
From Nevada, Arizona and
