I saw a flying grasshopper
He was wearing a blue cape and red leotards
I wondered who dressed him
Why didn’t you ask? My mother said.
This is when I realized
I get my active imagination from both sides of my family.

I’ve entered a productive phase
with tasks at home, not turns of phrase.
There’s plenty jobs I’m getting done,
but writing sonnets isn’t one.
I have the skills, although they’re hard;
perhaps I need some leotards.
The bard wore those and so I might
at least look smashing in my tights.

It was the eve of Halloween,
In a mansion on Haunted Hills.
The yearly gathering of Ghouls,
For poker and a couple of chills.
The Mummy was first to arrive,
Then the Wolfman and Frankenstein.
All were guests of Count Dracula,
Who offered each a glass of wine.
They all sat down at the table,
A game of stud poker began.
The Count drew a large flush,
But the Mummy had a better hand.
The leader after a few hours,
Was the Wolfman in leotards.
Frankenstein was in a rage,
Cause he was drawing lousy cards.
He stood and kicked back his chair,
And threw the table across the room.
Just as they were about to fight,
In came the Witch on a her broom.
Said, "You boys are acting crazy,
So let me help you understand."
"All your money just left the room,
In the hands of The Invisible Man."

I go to the gym
so I can fit in
the pants I bought last year
Though I must admit
it's nice to sit
and study the leotards there

iPhone Maniacs
crankshaft tendencies secure a brace of sly meatballs
truth daggers entice the worm girls with petite pastas
creature lilacs uproot themselves for pink dippity-do gels
white nylon ghost legs roam outer space in latex leotards
metacarpal syringes find porous outcries in the gloaming
crankshaft tendencies welcome the tilted exonerations
iPhone maniacs fondle frothing bananas mindlessly now
demon spiders ooze inside the crawlspaces wanting meat
cross-eyed priestesses suck on wax candles in the vestibule
black-robed choirs sing hangover music to the dribbling
rock music annihilations played by stoned dudes in shades
temples and taverns shake as the truth daggers hit earth
now the worm girls are dancing with the iPhone maniacs

He’s bringing all his toys out in the yard;
He’s come to dig and cut and chop and play.
Except those smashing Spidey leotards:
He’ll save them for a rainy, inside day.

For this term they're in lavender,
Though last year it was pink.
The little ballerinas
Grow up quicker than you'd think.
They line up in their leotards
With energy to burn
And follow their instructor
As they run and leap and turn.
Each week they gather in a group,
Too young for mean girl cliques
But likely that will change
When personalities won't mix.
For now, though, they're a happy bunch,
So innocent and sweet,
And watching them cavort
In ballet slippers is a treat.

The tiny ballerina
Was as pretty as a rose
She was quite a sight to see
As she danced upon her toes
Pink leotards she wore
With a white ruffled belt of lace
A natural looking beauty
With a blush put on her face
She was glamorous and elegant
When she twisted and she twirled
She wore a shapely figure
And her hair was long and curled
I watched her in awe
She was slim and she was meek
Jewelry box music... she danced to
I smiled...from cheek to cheek

An all day breakfast is quite popular these days
That's for me, an egg lover since I took up ballet
Graceful in leotards
People paid big dollars
To see this amazing creature, they threw pretty bouquets

Reading diaries of different discussion blots is considered to be akin to perusing the top shelf of a historical library section. Each label once worn drops like stones sinking into the carpet and creases of streamed floorboards. Floorboards do float don't they? Have you not seen the many that pass the doors? They are quicker than the doors anyway so best spray the armpits and go jogging then. Thought the woodworm athletic tribe. Gathering gabled garbled gargling gatherings greet giant Gregorian gargoyles getting generally gifted garters gutting grouped gismo geckos. How triumphant then? And hopefully a dance will last longer than a sharp snapped second. Seconds are neither seams, seamstresses, nor stressed sultanas in safaris and saris, nor are they acrimonious android alphabetical alpacas racing to a degree of a nine foot tail spin. Ring ran road. And a big lorry leering. Lecherously. Leeches lingering. And limbs lumber. How rather audaciously brilliant then. Isn't it? Kent jam race on the large spoon.

The juxtaposition of a jelly bean is a line out symbol which points not just north but in all outward direction. To consider an atomiser a friend is to put on a hat and scarves in very cold weather. Nevertheless it could be said that a beat box can boom at this time so one must hide slippers in mugs and take tantric lessons from aspiring affluentional affiliates. Achoo achoo cried the toast soldier lay down on a round plate. I would of liked to have had far more butter. For to glow is to flow and to flow is to grow. Like a boat. Rather reaching radiuses ridiculously. And baking an omelette soup. Take no ball of heifer cake to a flower show. And drive no cabbage in a floaty dress to a garden party. Signal then. Good. Great isn't it.operatic arrival of a bopping stick. Fantastic. Wow. Work not an adaptable weed in an upright position in a Turrentine pot. And cue no angle at eighty degrees. 1 2 1 2 1 2 3 attempting a maritime movement. Monumentally moons. And that glare off a jar. Haha and now eat a sweet. Haha leopard leotards leaping.

Parents control what their kids are taught
It's not a matter of them wanting to or not
Go to school and get a job
That's how people pay bills on these blocks
Get married and have a kid
That's what everyone I knew did
While working full time
Stressing and counting every dime
Vacations on credit cards
Outfits for sports and leotards
Payments for the SUV or Chevy Malibu
Could live in a smaller house
Status would be demoted it you moved
Taco Tuesdays cause Mondays are crazy
Wed thru Fridays insane so weekends are lazy
Exercise? When I have the chance
I'll want to when I can't fit these pants
Why am I overweight and tired?
Cause I'm working overtime so I don't get fired
Cycle goes round and round
Not forever though,
In 30 years I'll retire.....?
This is a work in progress.

BALLET DANCERS AT THE MUSIC SCHOOL
Like a field of mountain flowers
Arching bending tip-toeing
The music?
A wonderful waltz
By Tschaikowsky
The girls
So slender
So light
Expressionless and swift
But then!
Laughing
Dash into the hallway
Costumes
Green red yellow
Bright white
I smile with
Mild delight
AT ONCE!
A tall green weed
Chewing gum
Glares
Clear through me
“Get lost PUNK!”
They bang the door
Fill the air with
Their sweaty leotards
Swan Lake continues

Harlots on Harleys
Barbies on broomsticks
Midgets on widgets
Buddha on Broadway
Leaders in leotards
Players in playpens
Twinkies in Slinkies
Christ in Cabaret
Temptation of teddies
Tyranny of toupees
Ecstasy of ecstasy
Yahoo of Yahweh
Widows with whiskey
Yoda with yen
Saviors with favors
Zeros with Zen
