Dennis the Menace is Gone
As a very young man, his career went far.
On television, Jay was a popular child star.
Success as "Dennis the Menace" could not be denied.
Dennis was a constant thorn in Mr. Wilson's side.
As Henry and Alice Mitchell's bundle of joy,
Dennis was quite a funny, but mischievous boy.
Despite his immense world-wide popularity,
he had to deal with

Dennis and Carolyn
In a time when bell bottoms danced with the breeze,
Two young hearts collided, as wild as the trees.
In the glow of the disco, beneath starlit skies,
They found in each other the spark of their lives.
With laughter like music, they twirled through the night,
In the warmth

A Street Clown Named Dennis
has he got
the balls
to juggle?
doesn’t he
have
balloons?
only a knife
and a photo
of his mother
not meeting
their gaze
only walking by,
fixed eyes on
the horizon
he walks down the block party
where mothers
hold children in fear
and Dennis is in a trance
dancing toward
the uncertain nothing to leave
toward another town
start anew
parties in

Eyes Fastened On Tennis and Dennis
Some girls’ eyes were fastened on Dennis
Doing wonderful Tennis
In boxers poorly screening ,
Much to the dismay of his First Niece,
His sometimes-raging, Girlfriend Eunice,
A Christian Mother he’d rendered service
But not to Arch Enemy Elvis
With him competing in their office…
“For long have I been expecting this
From a man who’d named me Novice”

Dennis Disler
I miss his laugh
the smell of his cologne
I miss driving into another
state just to see him
I miss cutting wood
and living in the country,
but i didn't like
that you were sick
or that you lived basically
by yourself
I hate the fact that
there was no warning
you died peacefully
in your sleep,
but most of all
I hate not seeing you!

Dennis and Johnnie-F
2000 miles is a long ways, and 50 plus years is a very long time.
It spells the time and space that have separated me and my two friends.
Back then, whether it was hay, ammonia, cowboys, sling shots, or rubber tires,
somewhere in the mix were my two friends. Presently, there is a loving memory of

His parents' worst nightmare that left them disheartened
