He was a gumptious enterprising chap
To his monetary endeavors, I gave a simple clap
He developed a brand-new computer app
It pointed out a lucrative treasure map
Why didn’t he go broke? Asked my pal Hap
Because he then invented a tasty wrap
And a guard dog that gives you a zap
He was a gumptious enterprising chap

Two hearts written
In sandy shores
Is passed and short.
No wonder hap
Romantic do
Seek joy short live.
Live not penchant
Dream love that paint
In sandy shore.
True love is etched
Inside the heart
Forever lived.

it would be a last request, before the gallows
like baloo sings it
i'm being led there, the narrow path between the
faces of the people
my hands tied behind my back
the rope taut against the skin
and i'm going,

we arrive
i turn to the hooded executioner.

I did write poems on each Rune.
The Frissian futhorc I assume,
Each new rune lesson learnt- a boon.
Art and poems I showed to kin.
Kin stated poems and art a win,
Rune poems writ came from within.
Ink drawings for each rune, I start.
Each drawing did was from the heart,
Art and poem don’t stand apart.
Runes chosen in a random way.
By meditative state I say,
Stick hand in sac, get one that day.
Relate the rune to the days hap.
Rune telling in sync that’s a rap,
Rune cite not in sync, isn’t crap.
Those months were a milestone to me.
Rune views can make you unhappy,
Either way their help uncanny .
My first attempt a great success.
Second push better, I confess.
Both achievements great ,I profess.

I
I have had flying dreams, what do they mean?
In these dreams, music heard, as I do fly.
I feel powerful in these types of scenes.
II
I fall from the sky,I do not know why,
Do drills of sorts to get my powers back,
I fail at times as I reach for the sky .
III
Do these falling dreams mean something I lack?
It's an alternating hap I convey,
Eventually ,I get my wings back.
IV
When I am grounded, I do feel dismayed.
Sometimes I win a partial victory,
Wins like these are no times for accolade.
V
Flying dreams bring a sense of liberty
I had not any flying dreams to date
This dream cycle is such a mystery

Hap hap happy day everybody
It's that annoying Jester once again
Sending giggles and great big guffaws
To each and everyone times ten
Too much happy? Then click delete
Coz it's actually going to get even happier
Don't blame me, it's why I'm here
I'm paid to make you guys jollier
It's not a lot of dough but I get by
Money is secondary in my life
Most important is making you guys laugh
Helping get rid of your strife
I'm still a bargain at twice the price
Zero times zero equals zero
So come on back my poetry friends
I'm Jack the Jester, Super Hero!!!

I've never been good with things.
Electric toothbrushes need a lot of thought,
Some honey jars
need more passion to open then I have.
Putting things together
is not my thing.
I break easy when mending.
I shine at midnight.
My hands
become as flexible as sea anemones.
Words look from my eyes,
or else I tend to fall in love,
with dead dogs, or roadkill.
By morning I am asleep
in my body again.
Skills scream and flee,
as I stumble towards
their small heartbreaking hopefulness.
I am good at twisting things together.
like knotty ropes and thin threads,
people come to me
(mostly the young and naïve),
Arrive riding skateboards through hilly clouds.
They come to admire, my left-handed life,
soon they turn away,
unconvinced
by my slack grasp upon reality,
with the way I insist that their petty wrongs,
are right ways to go.
I try to lead by example - by failing.
Friends let me off easy,
They quietly
cleanup all the odd bits and pieces
that I could not hammer together.
That list keeps getting longer.

Napping nap nighty night
Tapping tap tighty tight
Sapping sap slightly sight
Happing hap heightly height
Japping jap jightly jight
Wrapping rap rightly right
Lapping lap lightly light
Dapping dap dightly dight
Flapping flap flightly flight
Grapping grap grightly gright
Mapping map mightly might
Slapping slap slightly slight

I know I should apologise but I ponder at my fault
I truly thought that every cat had abilities to vault
Most other times he ran away when I backed out of the drive
I mean it's only natural a cat's instinct to survive
I'll admit I've damaged other things like skateboards bikes and toys
But this time it was different you could tell so by the noise
Now the kids won't talk my wife won't talk I'm really in the pooh
Especially when I made that joke the one about cat stew
I said I'll buy another cat same type and age and fur
But unforgiving voices choired "He had a special purr"
What about a robot cat immune to hurt and pain
No support from either camp only looks iced with disdain
Eight times that cat survived a life with luck more apt than mine
I hap to be the luckless one who snuffed out number nine
Well old Tom I'm really sad and regret I did you wrong
So to prove my worth when I'm heaven bound I'll bring a mouse along
