heavenly father, i need a creamsicle
i need a side order of bon bons
oh, and throw a nutty buddy in there too
like a lot of people i know, i live to work
i would love to turn that around, but i just don't have the means
knowing this, i brave the humidity and especially the cold
i look around for any sneaky deer, and then i plop into my car
i start it up and exhale heavily....and that will not be the first time today....
....for this is MY monday....
heavenly father, i need a dr. pepper
i need a side order of dr. pepper
oh, and throw a dr. pepper in there too
you see, i do not go insane while punching the clock to enter repetitionville
i am humbled everyday by what i see, what i hear, and what i read
i just wave at the members of the Similarity Club and do what i am paid to do
when bills come, they are handled accordingly based on the state of my financial situation
sometimes, heavenly father, i need to pray to you with something stronger than a dr. pepper in my hand
heavenly father, i need a lottery ticket
i need a side order of PCH
oh, and throw some scratch-offs in there too
in a world where everybody has that WISH,
i drink the well water of monotony's toejam
continuation is the anvil chainsaw to the nucleus of my brain
as a result, instead of going absolutely nuts, blaming the government and killing somebody or anybody,
I DECIDED TO WRITE A DOGGONE POEM.....NOW HOW ABOUT THAT!
Covered Dishes
1
The password is… password, shhh...
Try to remember if possible,
this sure-fire way of getting through the door;
Entering indeed, as with all lithesome ladies,
and their dithering dogs, after
entreating the big dude at the entrance gate,
with licorice sticks and cauliflower juice on ice,
and leaning over long enough to show off the planets,
those spinning orbs of a mathematical universe,
now turning madly and centrifugally, sucking
out the eyes of the pleading fools,
dressed in rage, and wont to feel the ancient eclipses,
those silent but grunting interludes unseen,
all dressed in satin boredom, all flummoxed
as with clowns, dressed in neon failure,
who now offer smiles and winking winces,
to the sad-eyed pedestrians, and
the red-lipped ladies with the wide-brimmed hats,
out to tease with nylon exposures,
around the bleakly lighted doorways
to dark entrances, without eyes to feel.
You were sitting there with legs crossed,
a cocktail dangling from your frozen fingertips,
like a fainted ballerina in the splitting moonlight.
In front of you, on the table, covered dishes
covered tureens, with surprise taste delights simmering,
shouting out in mute languages of the multitudes:
What is under the lid of this blue dish?
What is beneath the cover of this steaming tureen?
I turned to see other dishes and other culinary settings,
and instead, I saw you among the bon bons
and the flaming surrendering soufflé.
You wore that same translucent skirt with
the lightning stripes and the chiffon protestations,
and as you rose from your chair with howling legs,
there was no hell and brimstone in what I saw.
Then as with a silent hungry leopard,
setting exotic eyes on my stilled soul and quivering body,
you took my hand into yours, as easily as one might,
and with straight-staring certitude, we politely exited
from this quiet pedestrian grille,
this obscure café under the yawning stars,
hidden behind festooning flowers,
draped on hungry trellises,
for the hopelessly outraged.
Tuppence to my name
Tuppence after the bills are
Paid
Tuppence for A Thought
Tuppence was a lot of money
Back in the day
When we were young
Tuppence was a lot of money
For salad creams and strawberry bon bons ...
I got Tuppence to my name
The bank takes takes takes as it plays
Out its strategic takeover game...
Tuppence to my name
Tuppence after the bills are Paid
Tuppence for a thought
I'd be rich
If life was not a ....
Tuppence for A Thought
I'd be poor
If id become a whore
Tuppence for A Thought
Put it in the charity box
Hope blessed are thee
Put it in the charity box and it'll come back three fold , you'll see ...
A Magical Family Christmas
The smell of flickering, tall balsam candles,
reflecting on the mirrored wall.
Heavenly music dancing mixed with the loving
voices of a large, close family.
The Noble Fir standing like a grand king, his
aromatic good cheer , is back, like last year.
Piles of presents, almost halfway to the ceiling,
wrapped with love.
Bowls of nuts, chocolates, candy canes and bon-
bons~ ah~the sweetest smell.
Oh, the excitement , so bright, this fantastic
Holy Night.
Our children, grandchildren, going to sleep in
giggling, anticipatory delight.
I wish it were more than once a year, the love,
the wholesomeness of family.
Always brings on grateful, holiday,happiness tears.

Saturday Shopping - In the Day
By Franklin Price
05/13/2020
My mother never drove a car
She said, “That's not for me”
She tried it once, when she was young,
And ran into a tree.
So Saturday, when dad was off,
He drove mom to the market.
She had to go to all around
He would drive to each and park it
I remember first, the A&P
And the Piggly Wiggly store
Winn Dixie came a little later
Now there are so many more
Each one had some special foods
She could not live without
She had to have her bon bons
There was never any doubt
For the twenty dollar budget
Paper bags filled up the boot
Then to a service station
Pulled to the pump, and gave a toot
The attendant who was working
Came to the driver's side
Asked if he could fill it up
For pumping gas, was qualified
He filled the tank for under four
Cleaned the windshield and the lights
Checked the oil and the water
These were the driver's rights
When the gas was paid for,
And with all the windows down,
With four forty AC working well
They headed home and out of town.
Woke up on the wrong side of the bed.
There's a mind numbing pain at work in my head.
Wash my hair and comb my face,
Something died in my mouth, where's the toothpaste.
Grab a quick bit of breakfast and rush out the door.
Can't find my keys they fell on the floor.
Finally find them and start the car.
I'm gonna be late, well that's about parr.
Hit every stop light on the way to work,
Look down and notice there's a stain on my shirt.
Forgot to let Spike out, he's crossing his legs.
Have to go back, this morning's the dregs.
The absolute bottom, the pits, it's the worst!
What else could happen, it seems that I'm cursed!
Wait a minute, it's Monday, first day of the week.
No wonder this day has begun so bleak.
Come ahead Monday, get it over with now!
I've got bon bons and chocolates and a little brown cow,
To soothe and to comfort my poor shattered nerves,
And to bind and to buffer the slings and the curves;
Do your worst Monday, come on have a fit!
You can't scare me, I've got chocolate!
Hey there, little Buddha,
Let me join your Mistick Krewe.
Got my jazz hand clapping.
Gonna drop the other shoe.
I strut my yo-yo yoga every doo-da day.
It get me so-so-sober in a drunken way.
Hey there, little Buddha,
Voodoo me some déjà vu.
Those saints are marching in again;
Another Bourbon Street debut.
Hey there, little Buddha,
Save me from my karma’s wrath.
Calculate my blessings;
Maybe you can do the math.
So many numb-numb-numbers,
Couldn’t feel my way.
To get me near Nirvana,
Need a CPA.
Hey there little Buddha,
Lead me down the garden path.
Those saints are here to party, boy.
This Mardi Gras make ‘em laugh.
Hey there, little Buddha,
Send your children out to play.
Pranayama mama,
Laissez les bons temps rouler.
I'll chant my man-oh-mantra
Till my eardrums ache
And clear my cha-cha chakras
With a plumber’s snake.
Hey there little Buddha,
Second line come first today.
Those saints will set your flag on fire.
Jockomo feena nay.

This ‘Pick and Mix’ is yours to share
With all sweet lovers
everywhere.
Knife goes chopping with the beat,
on the mint which scent so sweet,
Rice arborio n' boiling heat,
Rocking rythm in my feet.
Robbie Williams on my radio,
My spoilt dog stretched in the patio,
Whilst i cook ,clean and sweep,
She is snoring fast asleep.
Washing floors,doing all chores,
In the oven,hot bon bons.
Ow.my God,Its getting late,
sheets are waiting to be layed,
Ironed skirts and steaming shirts,
burnt my finger,Ouch it hurts!
Some ice will have to do,
bumped my head,and turned out blue,
No time for me to feel so sorry,
Swollen head,No time for worry.
Ran upstairs in a breakdance,
to sit down,there's not a chance.
Jumping quickly in the shower,
whilst regaining some cat power,
tick tock-tick tock goes the clock,
there's no time for happy hour.
Brushed my teeth,High Heels in feet,
some perfume and a light treat.
All is ready,all is well,got my keys
texted a pal,Once again ding-dong,
the bell,at this moment,Who's the hell?
It's my neighbour from next door,
melts my ice.He's not a bore,
Cos Of him I'm running late,
guess my boss will have to wait.
Come on in,I said to him,
His left foot already in,
Handsome guy with a huge grin,
Sugar man,One man to win.
What Will i offer him ? a coffee?
I hadn't any beer,Some wine?
or some orange with gin?
Time was pressing in,
Called at work and did a sin,
Called my boss,I faked a fever,
So much thanks,She's a believer.
Smelled some pepper,started
sneezing,My boss's answer
was so pleasing,"Stay at home,
Get well dear,Lots of love and
tender care,don't come close,
No need to share,bye,bye dear".
Problem solved,so wisely done,
Neighbour joined me in the garden,
so relaxed licking the Sun.
Ate lunch and had dessert,
He's a darling and a flirt,
After followed with more fun,
On my sofa,One ON One.
Charma
(This is all fiction,apart for the busy routine! My neighbours are good
old neighbours too,and Im loyal to my boss,just in case..:-)

Kept it 2 trill
It all amounted 2 nil
No longer a secret, guts started 2 spill
Big shoes 2 fill
Hard 2 chill
So I pop 2 pills
Eventually it all no longer started 2 thrill
An easy mark or hard 2 kill
Another payment due requiring 2 bills
Across 2 hills
Picked 2 daffodils
Then wrote 2 wills
With 2 quills
At times it began 2 pan
Regardless if it backfired, it's 2 bad
Could not remain 2 sad
Or 2 mad
With my 2 hands
Took care of several Toucans
Then downed 2 cans
Always chiefing on at least 2 strands
Off a lot more than 2 grams
Going 2 ham
Too much people attempt 2 scam
Quickly people panic and begin 2 scram
There's nothing else 2 add
Finding a way when it all starts 2 fog
No matter if all think I'm 2 odd
Why's it gotta be dragged out, it's taking 2 long
I was in the right or I was 2 wrong
Sometimes I talk 2 cats and 2 dogs
The same can't be said for talking 2 god
ed up beyond belief and 2 gone
Again I overdid it, the combination was just 2 strong
I started 2 yawn
Then I began 2 nod
After having a snack of 2 pecans
Followed by 2 prawns
Then 2 bon bons
This is reaching space, not just 2 Hong Kong
The day I die is far away or it won't be 2 long
