Grinningly Poems


The Schock Od An Outsider

New Yorkers, in general, are very notorious 
for walking way too fast, not moderately:
it's seen as an unpleasant remark;
tourists keep thinking to themselves,
" They're funny! " It's a stereotype they mock,
" Do New Yorkers ever rush to Central Park? "

An outsider asked a stern policeman,
" Why is everybody running? "
" Is the  President coming? "
And the cop stared at him saying,
" You are an outsider, not so lean,
catch up to the marathon race:
they are rushing for the train:
they are going to their working place! " 
And the shocked red-neck with a freckled, 
peachy, round face grinningly replied,
" I never knew they raced like wild horses
to catch a train; we Southerners take our time,
and stress less, we play songs in our guitars
and drink lots of whiskey, we never walk a mile! "

How could the unamused officer take offence and contain his disdain...
when the naive dude offended every New Yorker? 
His reply was a shock to the poor guy on naproxen,
" Run like them before I throw you in jail, or take the Southern Border! " 

 Note: No pun is intended, it's only to spike up some humor!

We May Dance -Like Tumbleweeds 2016-10-20

Oh my beloved skeleton boy
You filled my heart with so much joy
Your hands so nimble in their sockets
Your heartless chest- set off my rockets

My pulse did race with each new scare
like when you looked down at me …from the stair
a ghostly aberration seen
wafting behind your cool death screen

But my skeleton boy… at this pace
we will only find happiness... in graves embrace!
Please lift the shroud that covers your face
let me know more of your ethereal grace

No flesh of skin nor plush armed capture 
is needed to enlist my rapture 
I was yours and yours alone
from that first night you toppled …from your throne

You sauntered over to my dimensional space
and asked me grinningly ...to dance in place
you offered up a ghostly ride
how was I to know ...t'was a tsunami tide

that would quickly ..............take me out to sea
and rock me forever 
              .....like a tumbleweed

Interesting

In walked the psychotherapist

New moon like cute and graceful

Twinkling eyes to speak in smile

Everyone looked happily at the

Reassuring beam calm and cool

Every word that for us she spoke 

Sunflower like lively and positive

Tilting always to listen more to 

Incessant issues in human psych

Needing psychological support

Grinningly indulging, angel like
