Long Buffoon Poems

It came out of the blue moon…blue moon…
I couldn’t find my left shoe

I could have been here 
For a little while, while,...

in a traffic jam
basting, cooking, then eating a lamb
prepared by thee missus
a superb culinary madam.

I found out, walking the difficult route,
That falling in love ain’t a friend at all
No one can hear my midnight shout, I’m out
Try to knock me out, but I’ll stand tall

ITS ALWAYS THE MONEY

But each would deny such an insane suggestion

He brought her home to his castle
Inside a cell she was put
Away from the rain

The owl, never went hungry
The majestic avian had the greatest of comforts

"The Vanilla Ice Cream Knights and The Raspberry Queen"



"You’ve been spooning
too much Vanilla Icecream”, 
she advised the buffoon

all the feathery self-blustering chirpers

Stay tuned
For the soon to be boom
Between the sun and moon
And any flowers that do or don't bloom
During morning, night and afternoon

And being rude or lewd
Just because...

Goodnight to our Rome with all your garrisons
and your streets that have become
as loveless as empty barracks.
For you I will never weep.

And my self esteem
Hung on the balance

blindside yours truly
upon comfort level
of unfamiliar lady recipient,
