I could eat a pie in the sky
Said the Bear unto the snake
A giant cherry fancy pie
With lashings of cream shake
A Pie the size of giant whales
A humungous macaroon
A slice of chocolate brownie
The size of the new moon
The snake just warned the bear
To not gorge on such food
But the bear knew hibernation was near
And to be full would do him good

All heads are bowed in Soup Creek today
The town’s elder statesman has passed on his way
A gentleman true whose tongue wasn’t forked
To whom people listened whenever he talked
But when others spoke he would cheer or applaud
Whatever their nation, whomever their Lord
His words rarely barbed and only when apt
And usually only when friends were attacked
The name of this man, held so high in the rankings
None other than L (call me Milt) Milton Hankins
A man of belief with a deep ingrained faith
Who found time aplenty for each stray and waif
It’s quiet today in the town of Soup Creek
There’s a humungous chasm… so to speak
It’s like something’s missing for one and for all
It’s like someone’s stolen the church and town hall
Soup Creek, a town with its spirit ripped out
But Milton left town as a man in no doubt
That Soup Creek would thrive on his foundations laid
His legacy being the friends that he’d made
A sage and a mentor whose work here is done
A scribe with adventures, brand new, just begun
I dreamed in the night that a light lit his land
And his good lady wife said, “Milt, take my hand.”

We were told to find a smart partner.
I invited the platinum blonde to be mine.
She told me that she was not that wise.
I said I thought she was; lying in my eyes.
She ignored this and searched a new partner out.
Our only history is her bestie used to bully me about.
Then she said, “I have to partner with my intern Twee.”
I said “That’s great and found a different partner immediately.
Charlie was excited to be with me; we got along great you see.
Platinum blonde got kicked out of the group by Twee.
She turned and loudly yelled this to me….
“You mean you left me, when I headed toward Twee?”
I ignored her, and she ended up in a group of three.
Pouting like a big humungous oversized baby.
Are you two friends? My new partner asked me.
Not now or ever, I replied to thee.

She was living in a happy Jack-o-Lantern because it was fun.
The ghosts in the night had left on a humungous five K run.
The howling of the wind was dying down, sliding under the sun.
Hello! I told the magic makers. I want my hotdog hot on a bun.
There are no more buns, the faerie of the east promptly said.
I knew this was a fib, for I saw two buns on her enormous head.
Just give me a little time, and I will trade you a feathered bed.
I told an old witch, whose face was enormously puffy and red.

[This is based on a true story from some years ago…
Some elaboration involved… oh… and nothing got
Splatted.]
*
I sat there busy typing, some poetry and that
And suddenly I’m dive bombed by a massive hairy bat
If it wasn’t flying round I’d swear it was a rat
But maybe I exaggerate… not quite as big as that
My hair was blowing in the breeze that blasted from each wing
I prayed it wouldn’t bite my neck, I hoped it wouldn’t sting
I’m ducking and I’m flinching as the thing attacked my face
I wondered if this was the end of the human race
But then I got some gumption and I knew what I must do
I coshed it with a newspaper and whacked it with a shoe
I had a beer to celebrate, ‘Take that,’ I had to mutter
Some went down the wrong way and it made me cough and splutter
My wife brought in some linctus, one for cold and one for cough
And then she asked me if I’d seen that HUMUNGOUS Hawk Moth

Piggy with a happy engaging heart
Moved mud with his giant humungous fart
Ladies thought it cute
Enjoyed the big brute
Hoindexter Hog had such a vulgar art.
Farmer Pete took Hoindexter to the mart.
Overheard one say “It’s a pig. They’re smart.”
Got a big kick
Out of that hick
Hoindexter smeared him with his feces art.

Slips into his best tie-dyed t-shirt
Grabs his sandals sans socks
~ 'for dessert'
Paisley tie's humungous knot
Pulled down to his waist
Shoulder-length hair everywhere
~ brushed out in such haste
Decisions, decisions: Which pants to wear?
Spray on iridescent sharkskin
~ or the nude look, so bare?
Be the concert Hendrix, Cream or Doors
Whatever the case
~ He's a fashion eyesore

Diminished from 6 iambic feet to 1. A new form, I am sure it is, I have checked and found nothing. If you do know different, please do let me know, thank you!
My love for wildlife, all of natures creations
Mighty fauna, to the diminutive,
viruses to humungous trees.
Found nigh every day,
discoveries,
new life.

Greed Has a Dinner Party
Evil seething greed sits down to dinner with his guests.
He serves them humungous helpings of hubris for an appetizer to set the mood of the evening.
For the main course, he mesmerizes them with tales of his ambition and success and piles them on his own plate, yet he serves the guests-somewhat less.
He explains they must be more like him to get even more. He assures them that they have the makings to be just like him.
Dessert is of course licentiously sweet self-serving compliments for all and the promise that if they took everything they wanted in life, without concern for anyone but themselves, they would be most efficacious.
After dinner, he says goodbye. Then he grins as they pass by the urn containing Icarus’s ashes on their way out the door.

I’ve seen them: humungous stumps of once gigantic trees
that made a forest sacred-
knowing it was men that lopped off such magnificence
Stealers of beauty and promise:
these amputations leave their scars
on the convolutions of mankind’s
collective brain
Where, if I could
I would venture back in dreams to stay the axe
Let nature take her time with this living, biggest, hugest.
Into forever let these branches spread their prettiness
Let generations stand in awe at their continuance.

It was the last period.
The breezy school day was almost done.
Mrs. Johnson and her English class relished
Getting a restroom break and a bit of sun.
They were gathered on the gazebo.
Antonio and Ned were poking fun.
Sometimes even a laugh
can start a great big one!
"Fight," Angelina screamed.
Who came running? Everyone!!
The fighters were swinging-going wild.
Go for help Mrs. Johnson called - run.
But before security could get there-
Thank God nobody had a gun,
There was a loud noise
Like someone
Was blowing up
a giant cushion.
Mrs. Johnson's face was swelling.
She was moving upwards in a strange fashion.
She looked like she weighed a ton-
Or perhaps better said she looked like
A humungous silver balloon
headed toward the sun.
She floated away and of course
as they always say
To this very day
No one has seen her since. Period.

C is for the Cellulite on my hips dear
A is for my Abs which got so big
R is for the Rich food I've been eating
B is for the Bingeing like a pig
O is for the Oval shape of my body
H is for the Humungous meals I eat
Y is for You telling me I'm too fat dear
D is for Down below I can't see my feet
R is for the Raisins on my sundae
A is for the Apple in my pie
T is for the Tons of stuff I've eaten
E is for the Edibles without red dye
Put them altogether they spell CARBOHYDRATE
They can make you physically unfit
So, I am sitting here and wondering
Just how many are in my banana split.

A problem for every victim
life is a risk, there is no
apology for this...
the fall out, miniscule,
or humungous,
we are all affected,
one way or another...
...the difference is too few care
or, even bother,...I feel your words
your pain...
I've been in a similar situation
no one stands up...
...accountable, takes the blame...
they do now, no one gets away with
anything...
being accountable gives one
a conscience, there is a wrong, right
way to treat one another...
look within...this is where the
all and everything begins...
how do you treat the people
in your life?
how have you been treated lately?
...have you been treated
wrong or right...
...for I myself have learned
this lesson well...
not to bring pain to another
living soul...
...karma she will follow
she will follow...
all the way to hell...
...best wishes to all
...and all is well...
