Master Kung Fu Within An Hour
I have always been a fan of Kung Fu and Brue Lee
I so wanted to Learn the art and looked around for lessons
But although I travelled far and wide I found none not one for me
Disheartened that instead of becoming a master
As I had dreamed about it since childhood
It was a complete disaster
Then one day

Chew Chew Matt Kung Fu Cat
Chew Chew Mat the Kung Fu Cat
Was roly, round, rotund and phat
She challenged every cat around.
Threw them into the air and onto the ground.
She was as fierce as any feline I had ever seen.
Her face was wide, her eyes were green.
She slammed me into the chair right away.
Okay I said, Let’s get this on, let’s

Clegg Finished the Legs of Greg
Mag's lover hasn't been seen since.
Mag does nothing but in pain wince.
Her tall Greg was her world,her Prince.
"Once dead Forget A Come-Back means! "
Hoe was popularly Greg's foe;
Thus,his dad's farm refused to grow.
A lot Greg had slept on a mat
And guessed not he'd be adding fat.
Off he had to go for slimming
And with Kung Fu

I caught a quick peek through the Veil
Where angels guide us without fail
I saw my friends
Were bucking trends
Its "human" race Beyond the Pale!

Fist Fight
I believe in the right place
and the right time.
If one has fighting in mind.
I'm not talking about people
who join (the fight,)
those who stand up for a cause.
People fight for a number of reasons.
Two people don't agree on something.
Ignorance, anger and lack of patience.
People let their anger
get the better of them.
Really angry people

Where Angels Fear To Tread
I was a picked on,
bullied, browbeaten, buffaloed boy
from Buffalo New York.
I grew up on Buffalo’s lower east side,
the ghetto by another name.
The Frederick Douglass towers.
Formerly the Talbert Mall
better known as the Jefferson projects.
The home turf to a gang
called the Pythons.
It was a place
where angels fear to tread.
I had so many bullies
it’s a wonder I

Kung Fu Kong
Sharp as a whip, and not really drunk,
the drunken monk
has the sober monkey on his back.
A cylinder of mighty words
chained to a cylinder of craft and trickery,
behold the clever nunchucks,
I don’t follow the trickery, perhaps you do,
the blank look on your face, though,
suggests that you probably don’t.
Monkey be still,
Five Finger Shush Punch,
we’ve been bamboozled,

Bruce
Bruce
A lumbering man,
audibly achily, stepped to the
floor’s center.
Had there been a spotlight, he’d’a shone.
His arms unfurled.
His hips spun.
His soles, silent
as he padded here,
then twisted to place a foot there.
A phoenix swooped, festooned in fire’s colors.
A monkey stole a man’s visage, and made play there.
Time
and fluids compressed.
Bones were rent.
In mind, in space, in intent.
Daggers

My Kung Fu Chop Suey Present
My Kung Fu Chop Suey Present
On my thirty-fourth birthday off to China's best; traveled I went
So very uneventful and unaware I blithely lost all my well-earned money and spent,
As I entered into a Chinese restaurant and telephoned Connie Chang's
Alas, I'd decided to relinquish my yearnings and fill my hunger pangs.
On an undecided moment, I ordered

Kung Fu Chop Suey
This poem was written for my friend Sonya Mako Wong
Kung Fu Chop Suey
On my twenty-fifth birthday off to China's best travelled I went
So very unfruitful and unaware I enormously lost all my money thus spent,
Then I entered a Chinese restaurant and telephoned Tonya Chang's,
Alas, I'd aimed to relinquish my yearnings of humble hunger pangs.
In a

Writers Block Kung Fu
When you don't know what to think
Don't think nothing
Let your mind wander
Until it becomes something
Unwind your focus
Loosen it's clasp
Hover from your focus
Float out it's grasp
Escape boundaries and limits
Discard boundaries and limits
Do away with them all
Leave no boundaries and limits
Look at the reality around you
Then imagine it as unrealistic as could be
Let this technique guide

Everyone Was Kung Fu Fighting
When I was in High School, one of my assignments was to perform community
charity. My teacher hooked me up with the President of “The Appalachian Club” at the local
college. I was allowed to join the club on several weekend trips into eastern Kentucky to an
impoverished area that a coal mine

CODE LOVE to main gate activation…

double pace to the time of place
