Howling Wilderness - POTDThe path is lost where wild winds press,
No compass holds beneath the sky—
We walk alone through wilderness.
The thorns of time, the weight of stress,
The silent trees that do not lie—
The path is lost where wild winds press.
Regret is thick, and hope grows less,
Yet still we look, and still...

Madmen leaked a rash of sky-blue puddle;
fatally cloistered the hat-flu's hubble -
To wit:
- the half-time half-life smile of she and the other half-wonder of me.
Far far ready to say maybe to love;
moved in half-dream to plumb half-baked memories.
("But weren't their novel 'dogs-of-war' and lovely...

A cheating cheetahA cheetah was caught on the prowl,
Enticing the females with growl.
He’d vanish by night,
To mate with delight~
A lifestyle that makes others howl.

The howl remainsLook what we've done
But why did you?
Look, we've done it
But should we have?
Why this first?
To be more heard.
Just because we could?
We'll describe.
So what about evolution?
What about it?
Is it not the rule?
Who’s to say?
Was it necessary?
We’ll justify it.
But in the silence
The howl remains....

HOWL IF YOU LOVE ME!It started out with one good boy,
A prehistoric, funny, little plushie toy,
His name was Gary, quite refined,
A murder floof with teeth aligned (yikes)!
They dressed him up in bowtie class,
He promptly bit a Swissman's—ahem—pass ;)
And now the Earth is not the same,
We built a world… that he reclaimed.
Howl if you love me!
Snarl if you care!
Growl like...

ICE
Ice is a strong force of nature.
Cold and gleaming from within.
Held by no law or direction.
Just a fanciful brain,
Seemingly a twin.
Reminds me of history, not so long ago.
Men in brown shirts on the go.

Frantic
The not so silent,
Frantics on the march.
Hovering over,
Waiting to pounce.
Because we forgot what life is all about.
Sending force full screams,
Too move people out.
Makes room for many more,
Who pay...

Analytical Thinking
Let's see how this goes.
A means of logical thought.
Taking inductive first,
What has been observed to make life worse.
People are not having fun,
Appear to be quite glum.
Groceries missing from the shelves,
What is...

Oh, How We FellAncient howling came back to Earth
And before long more species followed
Some contested against this unnatural birth
But no one could deny it’s monetary worth
Then after a little - our world was swallowed
Even though we lacked a time machine
We ended back up in...

Balance
Balance this please!
I'm on my knees.
Misplacing tens of thousands of people.
Legal tax paying people with families,
Across the seas.
Balance this please!
Businesses left to float,
While others begin to bloat.

Lies
Lies, lies, lies!
Nothing about but lies!
Cannot tell a lie,
Then nothing is believed as the day goes by.
Hearing a lie vibrates in my ears!
Rattles my brain just past my eyes.

Isolate
The world turns,
Another country went away.
Not dissolved,
Just to disappointed to stay.
I am embarrassed,
To admit where I travel from.
Fellow travelers all say, " It's not you personally that turned away."
I feel responsible...

The Beast
The Beast is in the yard.
Says he's a vegetarian,
But I wonder at the blood.
He has a verbiage that means naught!
As a Beast,
He eats a lot.
My neighbors, friends, and workers disappear!
Their wives...

List of limericks and other funny tricks
A young woman from Glascow named Myrtle
was as strong as the shell of a turtle.
Once, when an intruder snuck in,
she bare knuckled his glassy chin,
then floored him with her iron girdle.
I asked this new guy, "Know where Jeez is?"
He says, "Don't even know who Jeez is."
"He's the only son of our boss,
always sports...
