David the DendriteDavid the Dendrite (it means Tree-Dweller)
how the people loved this eccentric fellow
for three years he lived in a tree
yes he was the saint of Thessaloniki
(real title is written in the Greek alphabet but oh no you can't use 'special characters')...

Cabbage And BeansFar be it
from me to lecture
others on best methods
for success -- myself no paradigm.
In my defense, though,
many of us are hardest
on ourselves, less critical
and gracefully lenient when
it comes to others --
But with self,
constantly aware of every
pimple, even those well
hidden – I often wonder
why so many of us bother
to even own mirrors?
(reflections so subjective)
Too...

An Open Book
Her pregnancy was like an open book
quite readable with just a cursory look.
She wore a gown that trailed in white
and grinned a guiltless smile as bright.
And why not, white was only a tradition,
her virginity a sold out first edition.

Too Much is Enough?
So too much is enough, do I think?
Though I never get too much of pink,
in an outdoors type of loo
where there is too much of poo,
well, too much is enough of THAT stink!...

Bed How I Love Thee
Bed how I love thee
Let me count the ways ….
Always ready when I am sleepy
And in need to rest my weary bones
You keep me warm and cosy
Are the best company when l feel alone
You comfort me when I am unwell
Help me to mend and heal
Are there when I need to escape the world,
When life's...

My PetA pet gargoyle.
Has carved out eyes.
Follows you around.
Haunted.
Jumps around throughout time and space.
Yet doesn’t seem to move at all.
Heavy wings.
Waits for the right time.
If you pat his head?
He growls.
But you think it’s a hallucination.
There’s nothing better than a pet gargoyle.
He sure is haunted.
He usually keeps his...

Gasless Edibles
Flackmoth wishes science could eliminate
the foul gas certain edibles create,
notably cabbage and baked beans
and when released cause vivid scenes
of embarrassment to the offending ilk
who do their best to conceal their guilt –
at packed church suppers especially
when neighborly conviviality
and best behavior proximity
often suffer most, and a stampede
for fresh air becomes everyone’s need
and the...

Coffee Power
My morning coffee is a stimulant,
it motivates my regularity in an instant.
And some mornings if my feet I dare to drag
my underwear substitutes for a doggie bag.

Out of the Mouth of Babes
A five-year old precocious daughter
asked her daddy where rabbits lived.
To impress her, he straightway said:

The little girl looked puzzled.
“Are you sure,” she said, “or is this just
another adult fabrication like
Santa Clause or the birth stork?”
Dumbfounded by her response
and eager to recover from his
embarrassment,...
