Bill and Gil met a new gal, Diamond Lil
In a sassy saloon named Petey’s Swill
She was dressed with a dolly lady’s skill
Ruffled as a male peacock with a trill
Diamond Lil educated naïve Bill and innocent Gill
Of this debauchery world they had each known zill
Her step-by-step lessons were a gigantic thrill
She taught them with the precision of a sergeant’s drill
Many of her life lessons were taught on Farmer’s Hill
Like how to make corn whiskey in a bootlegger’s still
She also taught them some interesting things at the old saw mill
They knew now how to determine if a fabric was satin or twill
Bill and Gill never got over their education with Diamond Lil
One of their most deranged jealous neighbors was Jenny Jill
Jenny tried to kill Diamond Lil with a giant unknown pill
Thus, Lil ran off with a dastardly gentleman named Mr. Bill.
Taking with her two other men she had met at Petey’s Swill
Majestic and marvelous
you are a sassy one
lovely and melts my lament
I am confident to have her…
listen, she’s full of precious diamonds…delicate like a lamb amongst the wolves…so innocent…
Precious
loneliness gone
understanding
my majestic Queen…so independent and territorial…she’s a feline and she’s mine! Mine! Mine! (:
- dedicated to my black cat: Plumbella (Plum as a nickname)…
She is 1 year old
Rescued by the shelter…
Beautiful and bold
Black cat lives matter….
My lil pinky hops around
Hops around
Hops around
My lil pinky
Hops around
Just like a clown
My lil pinky
Turns upside down
Upside down
upside down
My lil pinky
Turns upside down
Down, down, down
My lil pinky wiggles in place
Wiggles in place
Wiggles in place
My lil pinky wiggles in place
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle
My lil pinky can do anything

Son, don't stand there with that cold stare and judge me
When I twist the cap and pour a glass and tilt my head gently
Just know that I'm in search of a little relief and peace of mind
Unfortunately, this world is a place where peace is sometimes hard to find
No excuses! But life has a peculiar way of happening in all sorts of ways
It's going to test you, tempt you, beat you, and humble you all of your days
So bolster yourself by getting to know the most high
'Cause as you move along, you gon' see and feel some unpleasant things, I ain't gon' lie
But there are so many beautiful things too, like you
So always be authentic, treat people right and be true
I stayed away from the funny cigarettes, pills, powder, and needles
I'm not proud of my lil' nip and I pray to the most high you never do any of it as you take your turn at some of life's riddles
So, son, don't stare at me with disdain when you see me take a lil' nip.
Just know that I'll be back but for now, I'm taking a quick lil' trip
The elderly couple enjoyed a lovely meal with their dear friends.
The two old ladies get up to do the dishes when the meal ends.
The two men chat, one tells of a restaurant he could recommend.
They had a really nice meal last night, good food not much to spend.
“That sounds great” said one “What’ is this restaurant’s name?”
He thought a while, searching his memory trying hard, but in vain.
He said, “I can’t think, what is that flower the one that makes a chain?”
Oh, said his friend I’m not sure, Is it a daisy or should I think again?
You smile. I guess this means I’m on the right track, did I get it right?
That’s it!“Hey Daisy he called “what’s the name of the place we went last night?”
Same couple planned a dinner. Daisy went to buy sauce for stroganoff.
Asked an employee where it would be. He replied, “I’ll see” and walked off
He didn’t return so she asked another, and she replied, “I’ll see” and went to see.
Daisy was tired of waiting for them to return and found it herself in Isle C .
The lil chocolate chip
Was lost and alone
He just wanted a place
To finally belong
He saw a candy bar
And though it was home
He had to runoff but
Still ends up alone
While he searched around
With tears running down
Lots of chocolate chip steps that
Made him look like a clown
But low and behold
He stumbles across
A beautiful plain cookie
Who made him the boss
In but a few notes in the seventies, I recognized The Beach Boys
Little Ole Lady from Pasadena inspired me to push petal to the metal.
I had never wanted to be in California, and now I wanted to live there.
Thanks to Surfer Girl, Good Vibrations, Kokomo, Wouldn’t it be Nice?
I am singing along, with my windows down, my hair flying in the wind.
These boys keep the happy beat coming, incorporating a bit of jazz
California Dreamin, Surfin Safari, Dance, Dance, Dance.
I am surprised to notice I am going a hundred miles an hour now.
Brian, Dennis, Carl, Mike and Al should be paying for my speeding tickets
I still drive ninety miles an hour to Little Ole Lady from Pasadena.
There's my lil kitten!
Sittin' cozy in my mitten
Too tuckered out to play :)
Don't think she'd fit in a glove
(And I'm too gentle to shove)
So I'll go without mittens today

As quasar mixes the starry dust,
a newly formed planet en route’s a must;
new universes revealed beyond black holes
captivating stories are yet to be told.
Tiny newborn sails saturnian seas,
a Venus flyby in Saggittarius is a breeze;
absolute magnitude in glimmer sails on by,
soon new space he will occupy.
Whoops! Now dodging meteor shower,
a bruise or two won’t slow his power;
he’s on his very own spiritual quest
for new horizons where he will rest.
He’ll take his place amid the fold,
his travel stories yet to be told;
to tinier planets that he will meet,
he’ll even brighten eclipsing binary.
He’ll take his place in man’s Ephemerides,
oh the astrologers he’ll guide with ease;
to alter man’s future by their birth stars,
providing them with fascinating memoirs.
No planet in any galaxy,
will mess with this star’s alchemy.
He’s on a mission, this tiny young one,
his planetary cycle for millennia will run.
When you spy him there in your glass eye,
be sure to shout, “Hello, Goodbye”,
as he races across your galaxy,
you’ll marvel at his pageantry.
A butcher named Richard McCall
Attended a naturist ball.
But at registration,
Due to refrigeration,
His name tag read "Dickie McSmall".
I've seen the by-product
of alcoholic parents
not my own
but some folk I love
Those whose souls
cry out from a childhood
of
Poverty
Humiliation
Being Ostracized
Anger
MIXED AT THAT!
Black and White
Where I come from,
a formula for torture
not black enough
not white enough
Living in the ghetto's
of San Francisco
leaves that adult
by-product
in a messed up way

Cool Master Lil' Miss
Shiloh's art-filled hoodie argyle,
warmly snugs young miss, save Charlie,
he rallies firm, quick briefs the term,
timely step shifts the sundial,
gray culls while golden spears briefly,
while life roams its normal lifestyle,
e'er discerning events may change,
as felled leaves crowd in a stockpile,
squashing in passing was gnarly,
quick briefs the term, he rallies firm,
her hand in his made all worthwhile.

i know he’s busy
not because he puts socks on —
lil tongue between teeth
he smiles when i tell him so
at our age no need to blush
