Monocrostic (Birthday of Elsie C. Manahan)

The Presidency and RFK JR

With sadness, that never ceased,
I watched your Father shot on live television.
I was living in Chicago and Elena, a baby 
in my arms asleep.
Your Father, Robert had just won California 
and “on to Chicago” was his mission.

Sirhan-Sirhan., anti-Isreal, pro-Palestinian ,
shot your father in the hotel’s kitchen, near dead.
I sat in Chicago, in tearful disbelief, and all I could 
feel was profoundest grief! 
Screaming crowds wept as deep crimson-
warm, blood seeped from your father’s head.

And here you are now with your lovely wife and 
actress, Cheryl Hines, about to follow in your
Father’s footsteps!
Your voice may sound strange as you are
affected  by spasmodic dysphonia.
I am just an extraordinary American because I 
do not think one party is a religion whose 
Ordinances must be obeyed and kept.

For anyone, who would like to see
Robert Kennedy Jr. Mon, October 9th!
Soupmail me.
Thank you!

Happiness

Happiness can belong to
Anyone, but
Particularly to those who pursue it.
People who seek happiness
In life know 
No other pursuit brings such joy,
Embraces life so fully, and
Shines out to others
So effectively.

Written February 27, 2022

Sunflowers

Sealed by love’s fidelity to be forever sweethearts
Upheld as one flesh midst caring bond to the utmost
Never outgrowing honeymoon’s sweetness-nurture
Flourishing while blooming in passionate “I do” fulfilment---
Liberated hearts vanquish selfishness languishing
Optimizing warm togetherness around truth-mercy orb
Well-watered against ennui weariness and apathy-wilting
Ecstatically delighting each other sweetly with earnestness
Rejoicing* now in God's bliss, Dad and Mom’s radiance
Shines, while to me and siblings, their romance serenely stays.

*Philippians 1:26 That your rejoicing may be more abundant in Jesus Christ for me by my coming to you again.

Remembering the Saturday Special

hot dogs,
baked beans Saturday special
Leontyne Price sings Aida
with stereo clarity
Ma makes a box cake
Duncan Hines yellow
steamed up kitchen windows
let anybody know
life is happening
here
I twist and turn toward her 
on the little green stool
each turn a question
each twist an understanding
frozen spinach too
with coca cola
it isn’t a refrigerator
it’s the icebox
soon cake aroma fills the house
chocolate icing from a can
waiting to be laid
Saturday special 3 pm
always a little rain
and cozy love within

N/A  Your best free verse so far this year

What-

WHAT
WHAT If Tootsie Rolls™ could Rock N Roll
And Duncan Hines ™could run and hide
WHAT
If Mr Clean™ could cook and clean
How much Miss Butterworth™ be worth
If she'ld leaked and poured all her syrup on the dirt, WHAT
Have you ever had cake mix and licorice
WHAT
Untied Nikes™ loose your stride
While running on a stroll WHAT
Getting tired call a cab a, Hertz™rent a car for a ride
What'd you say dirty/clean clothes in my Whirlpool ™washing machine
WHAT
Needing some Kool-Aid ™
Cause it's 103°
WHAT
Yet it's cool in the park
Under trees near dusk
What?

Sammy Davis Jr, Pure Talent

Sang like a whippoorwill, up high on a hill
   Played trumpet like Satchmo, with panache and skill
To watch that man tap-dance, gave even Gregory Hines a thrill
   As Ella Fitzgerald told us, 'Sammy's pure talent' distilled

______________________________________________
Notes:
  1.  See 'The Birth of the Blues,' (movie) c. 1955, b & w, 
       to view Sammy's exceptional singing, trumpet
       playing, and tap-dancing ability.  (4:39 clip)
  2   See 'Tap,' (movie clip) 1981, to view Gregory Hines,
       a remarkable tapper himself, in awe of Sammy's 
       (and his friends') tap-dancing.
  3   See clip of 'Ed Sullivan Show,' 1964, (3 minutes,
       27 seconds) to see Ella introduce Sammy as 'pure
       talent,' and then to view their incredible jazz singing.
