The illustrious Lucille Ball
For Ricky, she would fall
Left the world a little better
For everyone who met her!
I Love Lucy, the hit tv show,
With Ricky as Lucy’s Romeo,
Survived through many years,
Despite the creator’s fears,
Lucy would stir hearts in her shadow.
Lucy became a favorite performer.
She certainly wasn’t a benchwarmer.
Her heart worn on her sleeve,
Caused viewers to truly believe!
Students at Hillcrest High
sure know how to have fun
Hundreds rioted for two hours
to terrorize someone...
... A teacher they screamed 'had to go'
her 'crime,' if you really need to know
holding up a pro-Israel sign at a rally
lucky gal ~ didn't get machine-gunned

students claimed their fellow students were
just having fun. The teacher managed to lock
herself in a classroom... this time...

NOTE:THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE using spaces&breaks without grammatical symbols ,the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and responds thus making this enigmatic form a two way interplay & interpretatIon unique to the moment& changing according to mood is inherently variable.

Whimsy and hilarity both shake their bare buttocks at me.
How does that help me enjoy my Southern iced tea?
They are both ridiculous and insist on all my attention.
This is a tiny bit fabricated, I guess I should mention.

a split acrostic
If you do not want taken by the police, do this,
It has always worked for me, and I always persist,
I'm guilty! Take me, I scream,
Running to them in a stream.
Lock me up, take me away, I must insist!
The policemen always smile and laugh,
Thinking I am a psychopath,
they leave me alone,
and I go on home,
Another day to not do math.
I have myself on video doing this today.
In a dark place I have it locked away.
I keep it in my sock drawer.
So I can watch it evermore.
I love this dubiously silly kind of play!
Horn Hilarity Hiaku Tree
If away all my
Time I have spent where in world
Has all of it went?
If I did dipsey
Doodle would I do it with
Pekinese or Poodle?
If Southern was way
I had been talking will I
Be hard of hearing?
If twilight it was
Nearing are you glad that I
Will be disappearing.
To run over most
People I have to and must
Go from coast to coast.
If an old Brit I
Happen to be then who will
Have to care for me.
What if Almighty
Were female will she then be
Probably flighty.
Being obnoxious
And big-mouthed would my bad breath
Have been atrocious.
Person who puckers
Will they do it for breakfast
Lunch and their suppers.
If slave to each thought
And from store things were not bought
When will they get caught.
If by now you are
Not laughing or smiling should
More poems be writing.

Haiku Tree it sure should be
Such a sight to see.

Hilarity At Hillary Popularity
Heard they were having much hilarity
With Hillary and all of her popularity
With appearances that are populating
And her challengers are all hesitating.
They will blatantly need an antidote
No one for them does want to vote
Like plague Republicans are treated
They themselves are being self-defeated.
Self-defeating is a disease these days
Results of it surely will truly amaze
Tearing down those for their own benefit
This is one more thing they should quit.
Positive is pretending people will think
When willing and able to raise a stink
Read Corinthians Two and Beatitudes
When you want to find right attitudes.
So why should I want to be so rude?
Crewed way of seeing world they viewed
Members have more then one hen-peck
And are extremely red around the neck.
