The Superbowl Hoopla

as a GMO gluten 
   and monosodium allow
wing glutinate free 
   NON SPORTS fan, holy cow
a gentle fear shakes, rocks, 
   and trembles thru every dDhow

ting fiber of me one hundred 
   and forty five pounds (give or take a hun
dread ounces) finds me feeling 
   like a castaway 
   on an alien nation, none
share totally tubular, 

   where athletes revered 
   as holier than thou hook hen pun
which craft 
   this wordsmith doth shine, 
   and experiences the equivalent  run
tooth ha goal post, and envision 

   me octogenarian widower papa 
   paying attaboy with "way tug hoe son"
or a similar comment, 
   which unasked for unsolicited praise 
   would be worth a ton
as if this bone a fide wordsmith 
   would cherish as a sentiment hard won,

which figurative convenient truthful 
   ( Earth in the balance) tangent 
   arced geometric fender
   to express gratitude 
   (nevermind their gender),

who unwittingly boost and tearful lender
my morale doth render
akin to a  spender 
   for anonymous readers, 
   yet moost likely an appealing sender 
via flattering comments, 
   an emotional legal tender

this sensitive chap also makes apologies 
   (and steers clear) ass king for any alley byes 
unwittingly me to refrain ushering my demise
hence...THANK YOU 

   unknown gals and guys
this honest to dog statement 
   summoned deep within me...noel hies
NOR NON FAKE 
   saccharine steeped sincere lies.

I hate tubby a nuisance
     boot ma checking account...
suffered a major hit strafed
     with a shock king
     (difficult to absorb) 'bout
mid morning today August fourteenth,
     tooth how sand eighteen
     and got rushed with clout

to the nearest emergency triage facility,
     the doctors (all
     named Piggy Penny Banks)
     shook their head with doubt
prognosis for recovery requires more'n
     just a dime a dozen,
     (or quarter back) appeal,
hence my plea for posting,

     this helter skelter heroic measure
     summarily and in fact
     donate myself (earning Purple Heart
     as a non veteran)
     bone a (er) fide done deal
yea, aye even forgo thine
     cock a doodle doo lil pecker,
     which minimally doth 
     newt rue, stir, nor ring

     atrophied house broken
     barely visible prick tis docile, and
     (like a game cock)
     willy nilly able
     at a moe mince notice
     dir wreck lee (stand stiff)

     strut that eye feel rendered poverty stricken,
     a sudden dark mood
     finds me less eager tubby alive
asper thine primary (albeit only)
     checking account poorly
     weathered a kamikaze nose dive
with the plight of pennilessness
     unexpectedly looming...

     (parental advisory) breaking news at five,
when motley crews auto be buzzing
     like a b52 sized bee hive
ah...mine posthumous fame,
     and fortune posse sub bully
     as palliative relieving
     grave gallows humor
     small consolation, whereat
     I cannot fathom to facebook,
     snapchat, nor do the shutterfly jive!

Premium Member Dad's Bark

Dad's bark is worse than his verse.
When he hits it doesn't really hurt.

The dirt outside the house is soil.
The mouse inside the house is life.

Can't escape the printer or the car, IV
bag, heart monitor, a billion trillion stars.

Snow descends, each flake unique.
My sons' friends, each infinitely

a Greek or Trojan hero. Our morals: 
hit not the girls, nor rape. Love more

than you are loved, by a little. Give
but stop before it hurts. Stand together

or fall apart. Which candidate you vote
for less important than to vote. Don't

depend or dote on leaders, housekeeper
and president are gods equally

remote. The human body is a thing of
bone, a strange upright animal, and the

telephone a mystery to other animals.
Everyone and everything is spinning

electrons and the space between.
A great crunch, inverse of big bang, 

yr big sister told.

Holocaustum Ii a Horror

LONG LIVE THE NEW FLESH

The secret blood of a crucified man a god born of flesh, bone, a righteous soul, so long live the new flesh, the sacraments of stone, upon burnt offerings fold….

Watch the nine inches of iron pierce the flesh, the flesh made whole holy and insane the immaculate ejaculate or the fantastic flight of fantasms made flesh and bone…

Blood and stone the arcane born of the unholy holocaust, choking on ashes, sackcloth and lies watching the blade sharp, the razor keen slicing through flesh, angels cry...

The spill of seed, the muscles of crimson, tendons of white, the unholy sight of cruciforms and crucifixes line the hills of Adams first sight, his unfound reign… denied…

So long live the new flesh, the artificial blood of the synthetic intellect, the cybernetic systems, nano gears replace the natural, the forsaken and profane…

We destroy and dissect to make a martyr to the new flesh, of nanotech and tachyons from unknown space, a forgotten god from a dark region in eons greater depths dwell…

So long live the new flesh of suicide and sycophants and silicon…
 
So long live the new flesh the acetate blood of crucifixion, a man, a god born of the flesh, bone a righteous soul…

So long live the new flesh the sacraments of stone upon burn offering fold…

Watch the nine inches of iron pierce the flesh made whole holy and insane the immaculate ejaculate or the fantastic flight of fantasy made flesh and bone blood and stone…

The arcane born of the holy holocaust, offering of the burning flesh…

Now science has replaced all the rest…

the hollowed be thy soul, hallow be thy name:

“Holy is the new flesh!”

Another Attempt To Conjecture How I Came Tubby Me

This aggrieved papa
of two progeny, (female)
holed himself in a
rigorously fortified fail
safe impregnable invisible monastery
barely room enough to exhale

decades before their conception,
when I hapt tubby
more hearty and hale,
though robust health a blessing -
this haint no rumored tattletail
inherited, aye oft womb min

eight if my embryonic stage
awaken as exultantly as Faneuil
Hall if late mull late mum's maternal
instincts intuited detail...
when during early/mid
April mcmlviii microscale,

and if reproductive event
(me) swelled her morale
inevitably genetics sported yours truly,
she did not put up for sale
though mentioned bajillion times before,
the psychological travail

inchoate grievous tell tale
manifestation begetting a male,
whose neurological wiring besmirched -
evidenced in throes of boyhood, a jail
assembled incrementally indestructible
dogging paw pa, per entail

ling faux mutt heave puppyhood
bone a fide speculation assail
lent ruff lee size biochemical cell
cuz, ladder post utero development
exhibited tight as coiled spring hightail
ling ordinary bipedal locomotion,

whereat tenseness supposedly prevail
lent to tumble down stairs fail
ling balance even with handrail
explains being somewhat of a numbskull,
where existence analogous to wail
ling human flotsam - buoy lost at sea
rudderless and undermanned,
thus such speculation I avail.

The Insignificance of Man

Blunt deadly weapons of mass destruction
electrify, fracture, and
jeopardize *****Sapiens
species (and entire biosphere)
continuity rent asunder

doomsday declared (nuclear winter
gallows humor spelt
with eternal snow day)
dystopian authors outflanked
nuclear fallout wreaks worst

rocky horror picture
effected upon mankind
global (worldwide)
big screen radioactive
wee willy weber webbing

materiel severely seared
sepsis poisons deoxyribo
nucleic acid future generations
organic fiber cursed
simultaneous single simulcast

broadcast airs live after Royal Wedding

bumping ugly fleshless
formed fruitless fatal fumes
anomalies all – blinded

brutal burnt offerings
crackling, snapping,
and popping surreal muck

shapeless liquified populace
sloshing helter skelter
quests slither towards
aimless destination
bone a fied skeleton crews cruise

crying cretins creep cavalierly
crepuscular cratered city
cruel mushroom clouds
cloaked croaking cellophane charred
cancerous clumps career,
clomp continuously
chaos charts choking climate
cold comfort commanded collusion
commander in chief concurred

crumpled coveted constitution credo
crass conceit communicated
cooly came clean concerning
consensual coital cavort
crazy cream craving characterized

condoned combined crunching
crotch crab free **** -

the sea son finale

bleak contaminated Earth gasping
heaving jackknifed lost in vape
nonpareil planet reduced to vapor!

An Unlively Very Stiff Upper Lip Masquerade

An Unlively Very Stiff (upper Lip) Masquerade
(any resemblance between averred one laid
to rest and yours truly...purely coincidental
regarding unnamed person liberated 
into heavenly glade!)

though innocently youthful looking air
at three score year,
or so the trumpeting "FAKE" mirrored reflection
(animated, sans Alexa) programmed tube lear
and spout, one most familiar Shakespeare
refrain (frequently misinterpreted) wherefore
art thou Romeo, really translates as
“Why did you have to be a Montague?”

no matter living to max,
I did not accrue
hoping to lyft mine uber last dying wish,
no matter body besotted, kissed,
and riddled with ague
spirit fights futile demise submerging
into bone a fied underworld brew,
any bargain exhausted with grim reaper

past hour to argue
lifelessness accorded ritual
traversing along deathly
other mortals traversed, paved, 
and hallowed avenue
sudden agedness tolled
danse macabre league
with trumpeting battue

rigor mortis in toto
human flesh turned blue
oddly starved of wrinkles
thee only cherished clue
that perhaps...key expiration
coroner did misconstrue
bah...false alarm let somber retinue
solemnly proceed so poet can continue

pointless against corpse
dead letter diktat to counterargue,
nor against cosmic creator
can one countersue,
or expect miraculous success cue
wing sudden resurrection,
when biological processes
particularly brought to halt by dengue

fever, and rendering void
erroneous, unlikely mistaken
death sentence, hence sigh continue
and marvel quiet eternal repose
avails most pronounced distingue
lying in state (within coffin)
pulling out all stops
guaranteeing her/his endue

perhaps casket sealed with
decedent's favorite chiffon fondue
unsure what grim missing fate will ensue,
asper the (soul) surviving,
perhaps reincarnated within
commencement of fescue
as verdant leaves of 
wit man ask grass

or if cremated...surely
spiritual embodiment freed thru flue
but no matter,
(je ne sais quois) glue
thee only I French I knew
before bidding dearly departed
may dog bless ye - adieu!

Premium Member Food Should Never Be Blue

Blue cheese doesn't sound good to me

Food should never be blue!

Orange and red and green are okay

To mention you just a few!

A man's suit should never be pink

It gives off a certain vibe!

It portrays a kind of effeminate touch

A thing you might want to hide!

You be the judge, what about ice cream?

Would you order a flavour called cow?

Probably not, but you never know

Could be the next craze after sow!

One more thing then I really must go

What would you think of purple fudge?

Not your thing? Doesn't turn your crank?

Just give your funny bone a nudge!

Why are we bound by customs and norms?

Why can't we step out of the box?

Like a body builder wearing a pink tutu

With pink and green polka dot socks!

Colder

She is colder than
Most with emotions.
   With her it's  just going
Through the motions.

  Her womanly ways and 
Perfect figure.
  No hesitation when she
Pulls the trigger.

  Her tan skin and
Dark eyes.
  BEWARE! A word
To the wise.

  Her full lips, 
Her long fingernails.
  She is 100% 
Bone-a-fide female.

  You smile when you
See her look.
  You're guessing, she is
A closed book.

  Her radiant smile sets
You at ease.
  The way she moves, 
With expertise.

  She is at her weakest
In the morning.
  She never prepares when
She hears the warning.

  No matter what,
A smile on her face.
  It's like she has
Fallen from grace.

  You can envy her
Lack of attention.
  Easy going, calm,
No sign of tension.

  No emotions show
In her eyes.
  No hint of confusion,
Or look of surprise.

  She is not stuck-up
Doesn't brag or boast.
  Be careful,
She is colder than most.

Premium Member Gainesville Four Went Missing

Gainesville Four went missing on Halloween Night 1974
Three friends and a mother of the youngest one, Fee Fore
Fee’s real name was Fiona, and she was a delight
As were her friends Char and Lynne who went missing that night

Though this was fifty-one years back, there has never been a trace
Whatever happened to these four, must have been erased.
Not a neck bone or a leg bone, a tooth or any DNA
Nothing has shown up of the women who went away

Their purses were found in the house, next to the front door
It is as if they were marched out, maybe by more than four
The parents of two of the girls left this earth without knowing
What happened to their daughters on Halloween that was snowing

There were no prints, because the snow melted by morning time
Their cars were in the driveway – red, black, blue and lime.
Gainesville Four have been missing for fifty-one years I’m afraid.
I wonder if they were taken by aliens out of this Everglade?
