Chester Chunky reporting for work My Queen
I was flabbergasted
Never before having a flying monkey under my command
Are you one of a kind
or am I to expect more of you? I asked him
I am a twin, he told me.
It is easy to lead my twin around.
If you need him, I will go get him.
I used them to intimidate my enemies.
For hours they flew around their work places, sticking out their tongues.

Essential stage musician
Upstaged backstage
they sang the new song
then the original cast of singers
looked to them with a sadness
that was visible and bowed to
their successors without a fuss
or argument
When the curtain opened
they had been prepared to
entertain flabbergasted
the delay in the starting of the show
had the audience worried
but when the show began everyone was
flabbergasted

Never having seen such
a sore site for eyes before
he was flabbergasted and I can only surmise
about what he thought he saw
as anxious irrational unrealistic
and much to his surprise
his flabber had never been quite so aghast
yet as nothing does last
in time this too was gone had passed
altho' annoyed but to avoid
the situation again hell-bent
greater than the danger posed
to great lengths he went
but at the back of his mind a memory lurking
a figment of his imagination faded and dim
the enemy within and after all...
it was himself — only him
Starvation is rendered flabbergasted
when in tinge
with a touch of reality,
retaliating
upon the mention
of thee who shudders
in a chair
positioned so high
only the clouds could reach it.
Allusion the word used
it seemed out of place
and wedged between
repetition and simile.
Her thick English sounding accent
was as attractive as her
Gorgous face and , she had
more appeal then all the Ladies here combined!
She was talking about writing and began
bragging about the day she
was in Windsor Canada and meet
Feasty Broadway ( the world renewed)
Musician and singer.
She said she took the bus from
Detroit and while there
the went to the Windsor Stadium while
several folk auditioned for
The play? or Opera " Best Sentio( Bel Canto).
" There he was all cute and smelling great:
and I was flabbergasted as I got his autograph.
While there we heard a guy talking to another guy
about the "The Treasure of Kiss-Per"
we thought it was a play: until we heard them speaking about
getting the ship close enough to
the detroit shoreline. Then we remembered
the legend of the Tresures of Churches, taking by
Canadain Pirates in
the early 20 th centery.
My freind and I stood there
and found out Feasty was involed in the Unearthing of the Loot!

His body language leaves me speechless
do not be intimidated by fancy birds
they put their earrings on one at a time
like the drag queen peacocks
and the flabbergasted flamingos
do not be intimidated by fancy birds
you can carry off glitz and glamor as well as they
even if you cannot fly up to the top of an oak tree
you can walk along the porch railing and crow
Burnt tangerines create sweet bitters;
Current temperature? I’m coasting;
Sunburnt skin eventually heals,
weren’t you flabbergasted I’m thriving!
Resilience starts within your spirit,
perseverance is when you stand up!
Enhance that glow with each sunrise,
brilliance is a smile sipping that cup.
I don’t know, I don’t know
Why I love, love you so
So much, so much my darling
I can never fathom the ring
The invisible ring bestowed
On my neck. I cannot swallow
The terrible pain in my throat
I can barely speak and quote
It’s sad. I feel there’s no tomorrow
For me. I need to be rescued and towed.
No Sé
Por qué
I don’t know
Why it is so.
I don’t why I love you so much
I miss your smile and your touch
I want to admire your ginormous eyes
Please stay away from all the lies
I want to see you, to talk to you
I miss you my apple and honey dew
I am confused and flabbergasted
I am sick and almost demented
I don’t know, really don’t know
Why I love you so, so much my darling
My morale and hope are very low
Please come before the end of spring.
Je ne sais pas
Pourquoi
I don’ know
Why it is so.

What do polar bears eat for Christmas as a treat?
Lollipops, sugar plums, red hots and other things sweet?
Let’s find one and ask I said to my cousin Ned.
Unfortunately, after we did that, one of us ended up dead.
Which one? My grandchildren asked, amazed and ready to know.
I was flabbergasted at this logic; were they truly this slow?
STILL I RISE
Still I rise, shaming the daunting eyes.
Still I rise, despite the convincing lies.
Still I rise, though with me, they cut ties
Still I rise, inasmuch as I let out sighs,
Still I rise, if you like ignore my cries,
Shoot me with your words; still I rise,
Smooth with the arrow of your eyes, still I rise,
Ostracize me from societal minds,
I'll drop low, but ends up with the prize.
Even though you cast me like a dice,
Scattered on the street of experience,
Still I rise, and rise, and rise.
Just like the watered garri, Still I rise,
E go swell, just like dem tell, still I go rise;
Like the waters in evaporation, I rise
Tho you jettison my words of affirmation,
Though witnessed my little evaporation,
Mock and ignore my cloud formation,
Flabbergasted by my precipitation,
Observe keenly or monitor my location
And then again, witnessed my evaporation,
Still, I rise, until I complete my life's mission.

Out of GIFs! Oh now I've got to talk,
no pictures I may start to squawk;
Deep thoughts flabbergasted,
blank conversation thread;
Kids got further with sidewalk chalk.
She felt like she had a gray cloud hanging over her head.
When her husband expired, she changed her bathroom to red.
Threw all of her grays, tans and light blues to the wind.
Brought in the brightest colors, my cousin Bree Brind.
He did not like brights, she said, but I love them, you see.
We were flabbergasted, because we did not know this of Bree.
She changed her whole house putting in the brightest of the brights.
We spend lots of time over there, loving her house, almost all nights.
KIDS:
Hey, everybody!
Look who is hopping our way --
The Easter Bunny!
EASTER BUNNY:
"Happy Easter, y'all!
Welcome, kids and parents, to
The Easter Egg Hunt.
To see you guys smile
Gives me so much happiness
And joy in my heart.
Remember the rules:
Whoever finds the most eggs
Wins a special prize.
So look carefully.
They're hidden everywhere
So you can't see them.
I'm so egg-cited!
Okay. Now let's hop to it.
Get ready...set....GO!"
This groovy shindig
Went on for forty minutes
And thirty seconds.
When it was over,
The Easter Bunny counted
The eggs that were found.
EASTER BUNNY:
"We have a winner!
But I can't pick just one, so....
EVERYBODY WINS!
And now the cool part!
Here is your special reward:
THE GOLDEN CARROT!"
Some people said, "WHAT?!"
Totally flabbergasted
And really confused.
But the furry hare
Opened the golden carrot
And...a huge surprise!
It's Easter candy
With chocolate covered rabbits
And marshmallow peeps.
And that's no yolk!
This egg-stravaganza rocks!
Best. Easter. Ever!
