Our Supreme Court

Unlimited power to effect our popular elections.

Recurring Thoughts
It’s a recurring thought–
Over and over again–
echoing in my head,
Bouncing back and forth,
Reeling up and down like a Yo-yo,
Like a boomerang that keeps coming back,
Like a song stuck in your head,
A thought that gnaws at...

It’s a recurring thought –
Over and over again –
Reverberating in my head,
Bouncing back and forth,
Reeling up and down like a Yo-yo,

Premium Member Lunchtime At the Nursing Home
Hungry for munchies, on his way to the lunchroom, 
a rambunctious, persnickety,“fuss-budget”, elderly
jittery, fidgety, geezer, named Cassidy…
whose questionable dexterity, aghast by a massive sneeze,
teeter-tottered precariously. 
at the edge of the thingamajig, ...jigging one way, jagging...

I’m Hungry For Rats

By Stark Hunter

They’re crawling in the trees and down my spine!

They’re parading the streets,

In the stoney gutters of lost time.

With hair lip and coursage,

They boondoggle the promenade.

See how they sip on that...

The Second Time Around
All right! I’ll give it another try...
I’ll give Faith a second chance;

A faith I had discarded 
A faith I had tugged away
in the back of my conscience,
Writing faith off as a boondoggle 
best buried and...

A Sisyphean Task
Idle thoughts are the chaff of the mind – with wind soon scatter,
Rein in the chatter.

Need for a hearty laugh had often made me cry,
A lifelong boondoggle try.

Tilt the water pitcher and let the river...

Vanity and Vexation
Ahhhhhh.... they make me so mad!
A fool, a buffoon, an unruly lad,
A prankster, a trickster, a tattler,
A gigolo, a lounger and an idler;

An imposter, a pretender and a loafer,
A party crasher, a tailgater and a...

Give Peace a Chance
There can be no peace -
There never was,
There never will be!
It's simply not there
in the grand scheme of things;

The universe came forth
from a Big Bang,
There's nothing out there
except darkness, silence and chaos,
Mankind sprang forth and...

Christmas
Christmas

Her words flow effusive
Like lava, molten.  Melting rocks
Mellow is the background music
She is tired of boondoggle. Cacophony
Of the Guests.  Bright are the Christmas lights.
When had the Christmases became for the  bourgeois
Champagne is...

Weebles Wobble
Weebles wobble
   but they do fall down.

Once without windup whimsy weebles wobble writhing in wistful wiggly wattles,
they bubble, bobble, boggle, bottle and boondoggle coddles and dawdles;
a colossal ensemble debacle joggles and toggles the...
