Sassy and Genghis
...Sassy and Genghis they now get along
Sassy liked Kublai but he is now gone
Old Genghis still a little grouch
he growls at Sassy if she joins him on the couch
Sassy will at times kiss him and snif...

My dragon Rutherford

Orwell's Talking Head
...1985. We looked for signs
not so much had changed
Wars in far-flung parts –
the same-O-blame-O.
An acceptable amount of body bag counts.

New Shoes
...Do you know,
You can melt your shoes?
I bet your mother never told you that!

TURNING OFF THE GHOST
...TURNING OFF THE GHOST

who boringly stares

I’m run by rising rhyming rant,
You wish you caught me but you can’t!

I am younger in words than Shelly or Wordsworth
not as old as Shakespear's sonnets,

to eat whole.
Those carefully quilted works of...

Farmer Jay wondered what planet they were now living on.
