A Snappy ComebackLittle Miss Mary was thirteen years old, and lived in gold, olden days;
Like the longed for future, peeking at past, both of them full of praise.
Miss Mary lived in a western town, with her dear Mother and Father;
And adored redbirds as daily companions, singing 'til days got darker.
Mary loved the magical, motley circus, eager as...

Nice Eveninghad nice daily walk,
after sunset prayers and food
time for new poems
then gazing at the neat sky,
looking into history....

By the squeaky old gate that tomorrow will find
Why do we call the good old days,
good?
Grandma was always talking,
talking about the days that had passed.
I wonder if they were really that good,
or does our mind play a trick on us?
Grandma loved sitting on her porch,
looking out over her land in her rocking chair.
Now the old rustic white fence,
is falling down...

Venom of ignoranceThere was a man I knew—
bitten by ignorance’s venom.
All his life, he groped through shadows,
searching for cures in the dark—
but he found none,
until he bit the dust.
One day, while spring still painted the world,
his sun just beginning to rise,
and the stream sparkled...

Tarzan Boy's Ballroom Brawl
Tarzan Boy, with a jungle's loud call,
Tried learning to waltz at a ball.
He swung from the lights,
And gave everyone frights,
"This 'dancing' is no fun at all!"

Boogeyman's Broomstick Blunders
The Boogeyman, lurking in gloom,
Tried tidying up a small room.
He dusted with fright,
Made shadows take flight,
"This 'cleaning' just brings extra doom!"

When Cynicism Sprouts
Jessica Jones, with a cynical stare,
Tried planting a garden, with care.
The plants all turned brown,
"This 'nature's' a clown,"
"My thumb's black, I swear, I declare!"

Inspector Mills's Musical Meltdown
Inspector Mills, with a beat so keen,
Tried leading a band, quite a scene.
He yelled, "Play that chord!"
Then tripped on his cord,
"This 'concert' is utterly mean!"

Grateful Dead CassetteTo be sung to the tune of Little Red Corvette by Prince Roger Nelson
I guess I should’ve known by the way you said, “you’ll get it back real soon”
That I’d never see it again
See, you’re the kinda person who listens to a tape and quickly loses it
Like you might do with men
I guess I...

Get Knotted
Knots-besotted
(too canny for a granny)
as sailors go (and they will)
of which I am (still) one
(when day is done)
I can bend a bowline
(from stern to stem)
with the best of them
(just so's you knows...
the rabbit out of the hole comes
'round the tree runs then back down goes)
and tie (not hit) a reef (or square) so fine
or (none...

UsRoadwork noises by my window
Fertilize with stones my thoughts
I got used to live in limbo
In the realm of bookish gods
So I’m punished with the sounds
And delighted when it’s quiet
They are setting the new grounds
About which I’m unreliant
And I dash into the river
Of the constant change but no
It’s the same, cause I’m...

Jet Li's Leaky Kung Fu
Jet Li, with his wushu so grand,
Tried fixing a faucet, unplanned.
He kicked at the wrench,
Then got a wet drench,
"This 'plumbing' I don't understand!"
