Patty Lives In Bloominghton, Indiana

I'm writing this long letter
to a mysterious stranger,
I'm staring at her beautiful picture
with some tingling sense of rapture!

Patty lives in Bloomington, Indiana;
it's such a lovely town, not like Elmira
where homeless people roam and sleep
on sidewalks and apartments are cheap!

We've never met and exchanged glances, 
I can imagine when that actually happens;
our warm hands won't keep

Prof Indiana Kibble Kat

Indiana Kibble Kat was the kind of a professor that….
Taught us about adventure with a tip toe tat.
Regaling us with stories pulled out of his hat
Amazing us with his pet vampire bat.
We never had a better teacher than Professor Kat.

So Said a Potiguara Indian

"They cut my leaves,
they cut my trunk
they dropped my headdress,
But they didn't pull out my roots...
So I went on living"...!

Another Fantastic Day In Indiana

The garden is slowly reviving herself.
Waking up from her nightly slumber.
Showing her pinks, purples, yellows and greens.
Mariah the Merry Maid faces the sun.
Wondering whether she will need to water.
Will the dew be enough?

A reverent silence surrounds Mariah and her garden.
She takes a minute to reintroduce herself to daybreak.
Knowing daybreak will never disappoint.
The night shadows are

As every kingdom falls

Indiana Summer

The cecadas call merily
Across green fields of maize
While a humid Haze settles 
Underneath a burning sun

The wind blows hot and meager
To escape the relentless burn
But cloudless skies give no respite
inviting all; but fooling none

The daylight is far from over
Saved for the work that's needs to be done
The Grass needs mowed and gardens sewed
Before we have

Indiana Jones Makes a Visit

Indiana Jones Makes a Visit

By Elton Camp

A wealthy French landowner was extremely excited
To explore his caves, a professor asked to be invited

“That man is the greatest archaeologist of our age.
This is certain to put my name on the front page.”

So a good impression he would make on the man
Jacques ordered his caves to be spick

Gary, Indiana

Gary, Indiana is the town where I grew up
Aftermath of gang battles designed our streets
Rage, rap, and rivalry were the three R’s that we learned at school
Yet, this was my hometown, the town where I grew up

In the town where I grew up
Non-violence was considered a thing of the past
Drug dealers and female callers assembled

The passionate...pulsating rhythm,
   Of your tasty...temple of doom.
      Pounds a pummeling throb,
         While hunting for buried treasure. 

         A lustrous...look like acid rain,
      A hopeful...heart, a buried

Indiana Jones In Search of the Lost Ruby

Travelling the world,
Seeking the mystical poetess,
No Tomb too dark or scary,
No too evil Nazi so wary...
This Jewel must be returned
To the Soup Treasury....
