Hilariously alike indeed
My special child's wheelchair and my patience when they are freed
Toward great fun to meet triumphantly necessary need
Like driving against gloomy mood for exuberant deed...
When soaring for delightful pursuits no to miss
My son's wheelchair maneuvers with bliss
Such is my patience from heart's grateful abyss
Praising the Lord for the help of every Brod and Sis...
When the wheelchair can't function and to rest it must bow
My special child keeps asking questions midst why and how---
That's my patience* in waiting for fulfilment of a vow
I pray, "Lord, please give me faith's answer, and I want it now!"
*Psalms 37:7-9 Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way.

Fantasies Of The Future
Are Often Hilariously
Uncanny In Terms Of
Technology…
But Don’t Get
People Right.
REAL
People Are Always:
Jaded And Boring
And Full Of
“So What?”
Georgie Porgie
“VERY Well,
Thank You!”
Caught A Gist
Of The Tendencies…
But All The Numbers
WRONG.
IT's An Easy Riddle.
I’d Ask You Not
To Report Me…
But You Certainly
Will.
You're Not That Stupid,
DARLING.

You plunge your fist into the creeping
milieu of the ice cube by your ‘20s daydream.
Does it not hurt? but it does, and you quickly
retreat, surrendering to primal, human instinct.
Your skin is not bland, but sticky with fear and blank
expressions and wistful thinking, you disgust dogs.
Does the rainy tapestry’s ambient face not disturb you?
but it does, and you scratch it until your fingers leak.
In the restaurant with the piano man, he seems nice;
he seems nice; he seems tastier than your empty plate.
Does the melody not enrage you? but it does, and you
plead to your god for one more chance.
On the treadmill, adding the highest speed, you believe
you’re a masochist, but not after a minute; you’re hilariously wretched.
Does your love of ghosts not riddle your spleen with blahs?
but it did; you lay in your hollow sheets, your grandmother called.
Sordid, vizier’s fool; starry faces tickle the curves of your ears;
ha ha
ha ha
they can’t scathe you if you get off on laughing at yourself.

There's nothing funnier than a cross-eyed chicken
With legs the size of your arm
The Chicken Emporiums would sure love to know
The name of this progressive farm
Aside from the unnerving cross-eyed feature
The implications are really immense
Imagine a leg on your plate so humongous
You wouldn't know where to commence
The cross-eyed feature might cause some concern
If the patrons viewed this poor old bird
Before it was rendered suitable for consumption
It sure looked hilariously absurd
The cross eyes were caused by trying to eject
A super sized extra large egg
Probably gave the poor brave chicken a hernia
Before passing it, for mercy it begged
Such is the way of us civilized humans
Thinking of our bellies all day
Paying no attention to these cross-eyed chickens
As they dance to the hen house ballet
hhmmmmm

Apes bounce crazily,
Daring elephants frolic,
Giraffes hilariously interact,
Juggling kangaroos leap,
Monkeys noisily orchestrate,
Penguins quietly race,
Snakes twirl under vines,
Wolves xerox yaks,
Zebras zigzag.

After working diligently around
the clock, producing toys, and other gifts;
fun was the only thought on their bushed minds.
Shall dare taunt, tiptoe towards frozen pond.
Bound, they ran, fun was all they could think of.
Head narcissist reindeer strife to be first
hilariously, slipped and slide breaking
the ice, into icy cold frozen pond.
World's largest overnight delivery
service, Santa counts on Dancer this time.
Cute, cuddly, whiny tot, shivering, with
broken leg; Roudolph milk's the attention.

Tempting...
If she leaned forward
just a little more
over her centre
of gravity
seriously...
She might fall
over the edge
of unreasonable doubt...
And recall laughing
hilariously...
At herself.
Aqua Marine. Just Musing.

Silly it is, to take life seriously -
Better for us to take it hilariously;
Silly it is, to carry the weight of unwanted pressure,
When life itself, is meant to be lived with pleasure.
Silly it is, to let words of others, affect you -
Better for us to just let them flow through;
Silly it is, to want to be thought of, as perfect,
When our beauty lies in being perfectly imperfect.
Silly it is, to get over-worked and stressed -
Better for us to take it slow, with a rest;
Silly it is, to expect recognition and respect,
When our own needs, we often neglect.

Do you remember when the walls
Shifted their zig zaggy colors.
Do you remember when our wails
Of laughter went on for hours.
Do you remember when we discovered
How similar we were to each other.
Do you remember after we recovered,
We learned what we suffered only made us better.
Do you remember the rainbow after the storm,
When I was so afraid I hilariously hid away.
Do you remember how your house was so warm,
When we sat in your cozy hideaway.
Do you remember me at times,
Especially in moments of glee.
Do you remember our times,
And if not, promise you'll remember me.

Today a baby winked at me
another hilariously giggled
Worth at least 10,000 texts
or - yesterday - a thousand squiggles

C and I were as confused as could be.
Our friend V is hilariously laughing with glee.
His Halloween sense is totally off-key.
Misinformation learned at his weird grandma’s knee.
We spoke of spooks and ghosts. V could not agree.
C was not annoyed, but V’s attitude totally annoyed me.
I sent him on a goose chase to find a pumpkin witch tree.
“Don’t forget to enjoy Dracula’s blood tea and race the Grand Prix.”
V stopped at the haunted house and picked up his sister Dee.
She was much more Halloween savvy than he could ever be.
She said “Your pals are messing with you; it is the October glee.
Just because your Halloween sense is tiny, way off and very wee.”

here we are in a spinning glove
passing gas in the name of love
on a lazy day happily doing nothing
exchanging humorous kisses and hilariously strategic touching
it is all the Beautiful Result of God Above
passing gas in the name of love
spaghetti and meatballs and taco salad high
even higher we fly via glazed apple pies
the organic soymilk washes it all down with a gentle shove
So Damn Happy We Are While Passing Gas In The Name Of Love

tall men tend to stand and watch the short man shouting out
making up for that foot missing with his loudly mouth
nobody stands up to them they know they’ll knock ‘em out
it’s embarrassing to be the tall man knocking short men out
though their loud they’re not a threat when acting hilariously upset
nobody says can you shut up for a minute please
ranting on like your period has just begun to bleed,
there’s no honour stopping little men so little men go free,
you could easily pick them up and you could throw them out to sea,
but you wouldn’t get rewarded just labelled a bully,
little men get lairy go unchallenged think they’re scary,
when really they’re avoided
no one wants to beat up fairies
I could go and hit him and he'd land sometime next week,
but that wouldn't be fair on him when he's already a little freak.
