The famous Blarney Stone, some can't resist
When in Ireland, it's on tourist's checklist
But do...

Preface:
Earlier today May 28th, 2021,
the 12-member jury unanimously
found Cristhian Bahena Rivera guilty
of first-degree murder in brutal stabbing death
sentenced to life in prison 
without the possibility of parole
of Mollie Tibbetts remembered as then friendly
20-year-old who was...

my makeup was fabulously light green, lips ruby red
I fit in well with the theme, witches, warlocks and the undead
the blue I had sprayed in my hair glittered like starlight
when we entered the party, a...

Another Senseless Killing...

IOWA CITY, Iowa
     (killingly, jarringly inexplicable,
     horribly, gruesomely, and forlornly),
     the found exhumed decayed corpse
     belonging to...

Dear Santa, will you make my dream come true?
Although a little costly it may be,
I still believe there’s nothing you can’t do.
So could you please provide a cruise for me?
I’m not too picky. Any cruise...

Twinkly bunch with loaded school bags
Ambition injustice and itching their backs,
Cunning those faces in front of the gate
Heedful pupils well-chosen apparently late.  
A fistful primary breeziness
Shared with smiles, tears and silliness,
Together they brawled, together...

I ain't gonna brag, boast, blab...,
lest yours truly suffers demise from backstab,
resignedly taking wheel of our automobile
donning, (but NOT trumpeting) 
role as taxi cab

shuttling the missus, (she effusively glad)
to medical appointment
me, the obliging husband
in order...

It’s a messed up world out there, we all got trauma 
Real question is, do you avoid the drama?
When someone tells you secrets, do you blab em to the world?
Or keep ‘em locked up like you...

I want to be able to care for my child
And maybe just maybe feel normal for a while
I haven't felt emotionally right
When I lose my patience my guard goes up and automatically I want to...

some endure this wasteland because
they have to,
not because they want to---
yes, optimistic idiots,
this means that they stick around,
that they don’t put the gun in their mouths &
blow their skull out onto the wall behind them
because
others...

Some secrets should never be told
Other secrets are too big and bold
Some secrets bring you so much joy
A lot of secrets aggravate and annoy




There are so many secrets in this world
So many that we could...

The weight on my shoulders and burdens I carry
Are straight from the mouths of Tom Dick and Harry
The end of their day, their highlight in life
is a swift, cheeky pint before home to their wife
But...

I’ve never seen a unicorn,
I do not know their source.
I know PD has seen them
Because she says she loves them.
I think she fears someone would come
To take her pets by force,
So she protects her unicorns

MY MAKER LIVETH
Though the curtain may blab behind my back,
Though the window may mock my being,
Though the earth may undergo changes;
Who am I not to give you all the praise?
I am but nothing in your...

when the “dignitary,”
the president or the lesser puppet
stands down from their post
to “write” their book &
blab on the lecture circuit,
those who remember the bloodshed
of which their administrations
were responsible
make their way to the front 
to grab...

Babel: “A bottomless pit of violence, a Tower of Babel where all are speakers and no hearers.” Alexander Smith

The preachers preach what they've been taught.
Reporters say what they’ve been told.
The politicians lie and lie.

I'm mad as hell
I thought I had it in the bag
But this leftie groundswell
Throws in an unexpected snag.

The Media blab my name
Gorges on the outcome
They shout it's me you have to blame
To the beat of...

Shy Unicorns

When Noah built his sturdy ark,
he was supposed to save
two of every creature.
Somehow he missed the shy unicorns.
God with His all-seeing eye,
watched him mess up.
He took two of them and placed them
high on a...

“Whatever you say, Dear”,
Seemed like a safe thing to say;
It’s a harmless enough little line.

“Whatever you say, Dear”;
I was repeating every day;
Got me out of trouble all of the time.

It didn’t even matter that I...

Why North Needs to Move South

We started out sailing in a sleek sloop
To find poems planted in Poetry Soup
Until after we had looked in plain view
And it turned out to be oyster stew.

Into my mind...

one starts by talking about 
what they did on the weekend,
subtly sliding in the name of their
kid &
the bragging rights get pulled
just as quickly as the pistol at
high noon in a 
spaghetti western---
the dueling parent

Life isn't fair, for how long will I blab?
Everyone knows that and sure have their share of crab.
Too much of hurts and clinging to the painful past will not do.
Telling the tales of yesterday pain...

Sheer boredom has me at this torpid end
Another rerun; please give me a break 
The short list of scripts to which they pretend 
I simply just can’t find one flying fake

Perhaps I’ll jump up on...

Racking, fracking, fricker dickers -
there it goes again stirring all my inner jitters; 
my pc, tablet, phone and friends
blank screens locked immovable in place again
while tweets and texts disappear in phantom space.

Techno blab excites me
