One is named “Another Unfortunately Not to Contact”,
Still with the mugshot at which we giggled.
I try to see what he had as a passing joke,
But he respected that I seriously don’t want to smoke.
He’ll always suit jackets that jingle.
Another’s named “Hurts to Contact”.
We met at a drawing group.
On first word, we clicked.
Their artwork is lit.
We’ve shared our final packet of Hula Hoops.
Another is just a number.
Together, we sang “Hey Jude”.
We watched “Gavin and Stacey”.
He made perfect pastry.
We’ll always love music and food.
As for you,
“Everything Will Be Alright”
Is how your sibling’s number is saved,
Whose buzzcut I used to shave –
Hair that won’t outgrow my memory’s sight.
Your contact is still Luka ??!
With a smiley and exclamation mark.
We are still in touch,
But I think of you too much –
Our conversations heart wrenching to park.
The civil liberties Americans own issued by
Karen Bass will not deteriorate in contest
opposition nor regression of draw by
opponents in campaigned rhetoric to
be also heard at a time of poverty dwellings.
The blemish of labor is construction and labor.
A man's job, not that of the business community.
Gavin Newsom
Microphone hot
Second thought decision coordinating a posse,
gang, terrorist act. For profit illegitimate.
Aggravating mob mentality in civil disruption
Mr. Newsom
Sit, stay at your desk
Make it resolute
The simplification of a traffic jam
In an office
Finish print job
And release document to document owner
Mail fraud in possession of access
Whom accessed file of document owner wrong
Is in hearing
No hearing of printer job
No crime in owning document
Homekey fraud
Interpreted in California as economy
Unemployed printers?
City does and does not operate hotels
Business transacts in appropriation of funds
and ink press powers
In time observation
Of collection is willing
Thank you again for sharing your feedback and helping us shape California's future.
Sincerely,
Governor Gavin Newsom
Obstructing journalism
Very literal
The homeless point at and time move
Down generation gymnastic snatch skills
Front lines of tinder relocate shift reward visuals
Out the house dodge
Grades good bye byes
A beast named Gavin Godzilla
Liked a girl named Priscilla.
The issue was that he was a klutz
And it drove everyone nuts.
He was an embarrassed, sorry gorilla.
He broke everything that he touched
And accidentally smutched.
He tripped on his feet
And tried to retreat
Because he felt ashamed and blushed.
Gavin came to Priscilla one day and said,
“I know I’m clumsy and have a big head
But I like you a lot.
To live without you, I cannot.
Will you please be mine?” He pled.
Priscilla was delighted and squealed a big yes
But there was a catch that she addressed.
“To help with your clumsiness” and with a snap,
She put on Gavin a ton of bubble wrap!
They still loved each other nonetheless.
The milk coffee skies of Paris in May,
make the Seine river look insanely gray.
At sunrise it’s quiet -
the traffic’s mostly bikes
our digs are luxurious and private
my school stress is waning - it’s nice
I want to get up sigh
I don’t want to get up,
We’ll vote on it later -
I think it’s a tossup.
What will today bring?
More thunderstorms and kisses?
*grin* I hope so.
I pull the covers up.
Peter stretches and asks,
“what are you doing?”
I chuckle, and say,
“Come and find me,”
when he does,
Paris is fun in May

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY
I’m proud of her always
always grateful
grateful for her love
love that has kept us together
together through the ups and downs
sacrificing her happiness for me
being strong
so I never doubt
so I never worry
giving us the confidence
to face the uncertainties
the little wars of this world
celebrating every of my success
From sitting up
to taking the first steps,
walking for the first time
to becoming the person, I am today
Enjoy your day ©GAVIN RICKY (2023)
Ho-hum, another war lost
We should have won
Our new partner for peace ~ the Taliban
Ho-hum, a new school year
First semester's curriculum
Learn whom to FEAR
Ho-hum, we're going all-electric
While 'Mr. Green President'
Begs Russia ~ Pump more oil! Protet us!
Ho-hum, California burns
The no-win solution
Gavin Newsome returns
Ho-hum, Chicago's locked down
No, it's not Covid
It's a murderous town
Ho-hum, soaring inflation
I can still sleep ~ My paycheck's
Indexed to tax machinations
Ho-hum, another day closer
To beckoning the invading hoardes
Come over ~ Here are the keys ~ Take over
'TWAS 4PM yesterday, my daughter called and shouted.
"Did you feel the earthquake, Mom?"
Oddly, I did not, though we live near each other.
Last night there were forty aftershocks.
I felt so cheated somehow and I pouted.
Life must need a spark when a earthquake you must feel!
Perhaps become a man, like Caitlyn Jenner, would be more fun.
Wear lovely dresses and my hair in a man-bun?
Oops, cannot do that either?
The Woke-Parol demanded I may not call it that!!
I have the perfect answer.. Binary-Bun!!
Perfect for summer, as I race for Governor of California.
As my faithful followers, cheer me on!
In this most auspicious, political race.
Come on down, if you can you keep pace!!

Known as "Lockdown Louie!"

Turning on the TV
Wonders how they do it
Why they need to flee
Is a matter you know your mother wit
When the world is calm
Somewhere out there needs your help
Who could hear them, and make becalm
Someone watched them like a wolf’s whelp
They are brothers to save wild fauna
With their special creature power suits
Gaining animal powers, saving them from trauma
Transport them in a specific route
Helping rebuild habitat’s life chain
Pio as Chris, Malka as Aviva
JD as Martin, Joakim as Gavin
Teamwork with a brilliant idea
Dolphin’s dive, frogfish’s camouflage
It feels great with these powers
With the strength of rhino charge
Basilisk lizard walking on water

Written for my son, nephews, and niece who have fun watching The Wild Kratts on TV
With my own song version on http://pinoylifefacts.blogspot.com/
Two small dachshunds
Fill my soul
They have their own
personalities
One named Rocky
Cute silver dapple
Smiles as he runs
And eats with delight
The other named Gavin
A tiny terror as he thinks
He's bigger than his bite
His joyous times
Are also running and rolling
Chasing birds and anything
That moves
These are my loves as they
Continue to grow
I'm a proud dog parent
Seeing and being
With them
Brings me great joy
Some little boys like dinosaurs
Close the windows, shut the doors,
We don’t want any dinosaurs
Coming into our indoors.
Some little boys like Billy goats.
Hide your coats and breakfast oats.
We don’t want any Billy goats
Chewing on our nice new coats .
Some little boys like kitty cats.
Cats hide rats in your hats.
We don’t want any cats or rats
Hiding in our Sunday hats.
Some little boys like bubble gum
That’s okay. Give me some.
If you don’t think it’s too dumb,
A grandma chewing bubble gum.
For Gavin on his 3rd birthday. Won 3rd place
Tell me why doe’s the wind blow,
When it seems that almost anything can over power this boat,
The waves rise slowly and surely a storm is on its way,
A day of innocence equating beauty,
For tomorrow may fall,
And today is already gone,
I've decided that tonight is the night,
That I set love aside,
This whole time we're provoking each other in a blinding violence,
The ship rocked and I plummeted into the sea,
And you dove after me,
But now you know that I’m cold,
The mast snaps and the ship floods,
We wash up on a shore and you seek us shelter,
Crying out my name you try to resuscitate me,
Keep your hands on my chest and wait for a beat,
I'll keep your trust in my arms and pain in my feet
We will all fall in the end.
As the time to rise approaches
No one will take responsibility
So tell me why does the wind blow?

In this poem i give credit to 4 bands
for assisting me with the words
I could not find.
1.Our Last Night
2.As I Lay Dying
3.Dance Gavin Dance
4.As Blood Runs Black
I Hope you enjoyed it
A black cat didn't exactly frighten Gavin
He initially jumped kinda lightly, Mom
Now, Ola Parsons quickly responds, saying
The ugly varmint wanted xeroxed yellow Zinnias
Looking down I see,
so many struggling,
against time, against odds.
I feel free,
almost floating,
comfortable, like flannel.
I watch them closely,
straining to see past.
Why are they so diligent?
Why the stress?
That must be someone important for so many.
I hear orders shouted from the strain.
Strange words, all new to me.
Intubate, oxygentate, defibrillate,
Everybody in a rush.
I don't understand.
I float, still farther away.
Then I see her.
She has a red coat,
just like mom,
and the same brown hair.
I think I can smell her perfume.
Oh so sweet, like mommy's too.,
Why is she crying?
I can barely hear her whispers,,,
"Please,God, no! Take me instead.,
Just let him live, Please God.
Not my little Gavin."
I now see the tear streaked face,
of the woman who always loved me.
Rocked and soothed me.
The same face I waved goodby to
as I stepped into the street.
Then her face fades
into the bright white light.
