Rock-A-Bye Money

...Rock-a-Bye money- dream you're on top-
please stay asleep till our worries stop.
Nest eggs are dwindling- balances fall;
lowering checking, savings, and all.

Rock-a-Bye money- values downswing;...

Thought of the Day

...upswing and downswing,
both the zing and sting,
a beauteous dance,
viewed in nonchalance.

...There are many gambler's fallacies
the statisticians say 
each roll of the roulette table
is an independent event

Yet the gamblers believe
that if for example

there were ten red numbers

Nature's Plaything

...It’s snowing hard today
winter won't go away,
on a slushy roadway
there’s no upswing.

The snow builds up slowly
smothering roads wholly
And I’m feeling lowly,
nature's plaything.

Extra Zing

...Yesterday, on the first warm day of Spring,
I heard a robin redbreast sweetly sing.
And it was a melody on the wing,

A House of Mirrors

...Living in a time of diminished dreams,
we're no longer encouraged to think big.
Conformity is all the rage, it seems,
and cops have attained the status of pig.

Few folks care if the ele...

On My Brief and Last Manic Episode

...It was only this past week.
I had dreams
about Maria again,
and Cat spoke to me through
some diabolical means.
You would only
believe the dreams
if you knew me
(and because they are merely dr...

Ode To a Golf Ball

...O tiny, dimpled sphere, virginal white,  
Whooshing on your preordain-ed flight:     
What motivates your Lord to curses spew  
When you've done naught but to his swing be true?   

Slice, and d...

In the Mood For Love Again

Nattered all through busy evenings,

Thrived to exaltation, absolutely naive,
Harmonious cheerful charm is now a history,
Extravagant fancy now a great mystery,

You always said
Was a Yellow Brick Road
But mingled in was the one made of red
And I think I took that one instead

You said there was a man
Who could help with everything 
But...

Night Shade of the Willow (Part 1)

...Clouds curl
around the moon
as if trying to seize it
and their hanging low in the air,
seeming to almost
   brush the top of my head.
That old irony taste
    lingers again
                in...
