Premium Member The Cold Draft

Suddenly there was a cold draft 
It was chilly reminiscent of a wintry shower bath 
Making the body freeze 
With a tundra tease 

It came from up there 
Screaming icy air 
Was it a duct? 
Where the warmth got stuck? 

Like a refrigerator open door 
Luring a bear into making an easy score 
Dressed in the appropriate hibernation muffle 
Before escaping doing a planned shuffle 

Closing the door 
Than crossing the frigid floor 
The draft did stop 
And soon it got very hot 

Suddenly there was a cold draft 
Apparently one or two countries had a wrath 
Notice came in the mail 
Failure to respond meant going to jail 

Reporting to camp 
With a form signed by a rubber stamp
Boots on the ground  
Glory and honor it did sound 

As copter blades twirled 
And butch haircuts curled 
Things went down 
Hopefully the bodies would be found 

Closing the casket 
Family wearing black veils to mask it 
The draft did stop 
And bonding financial transactions started to get hot 

Suddenly there was a cold draft 
Foaming an artistic craft 
Not a bad deal for a first round that was picked 
A social prop soothing the issue that made them ticked 

Corona was its name 
Perfect for the conversation game
Debating with a laugh 
Communicating about the calculating national debt math 

Not using any sharp words as spears 
Just a nice talk over a few beers 
Going down like a saintly breeze 
Unlike a French wine next to cheese 

Closing the tab 
Before calling a cab 
The draft did stop 
Making the bar flies bug out  cheerful not angry and hot

I know a lady who is
really and I mean really,
(because she meant 'really')
really (because she said 'really')
"attempting not to give in to hatred"

and so I remind, that the hatred is not
an out-there thing, it isn't rain
or the coming cold, it isn't the
acorn clitter-clatter dropping
out over there on the patio
The hatred, if such a thing there be,
lives in you, unfed and forgot.
And you can't give in to yourself.
Giving in is to another, to something outside.

And so, take heart and be reminded
that the starved self doesn't wield power
over you, it cannot for it is you; a part of you.

She says there were "waves of rage"
roiling through her.  But again, if I might
remind. A wave is a quality of other things.
It isn't its own thing, per se.  It is a pattern,
a way some many, many other things behave.
And so the wave, too is not in you.
The many, many things are in you; they are you
but the pattern is no more extant than
a song stuck in your head.  

She said she's packed a "bug out bag"
and I would like to say here just one more thing
that yes, I agree.  Well, sorta yes.
If what you mean is to pack a bag, a picnic,
a pair of birdwatching spectacles, a bottle of
mid-price wine, some fruit, and a sketchpad
and go out, and be with the bugs, be on that patio,
watch those out-there waves.
Bug Out Bag, indeed. :)

Step outside.
the waves
the patio
the acorn
the birds
the wine (I presume)
the air
the waves

come on outside...
it's nice out there
outside yourself

Premium Member Not Like That Surely

I watch women leave with assorted bodies, bulky purses, proudly displaying their newly-done up rainbow hair, blue streak hair, purple yarn hair, six braid in a bush hair, beaded, feathered and flowered hair. 
  
        Everything goes here, and it makes me comfortable. Then I see a silly looking up-do with straggly ends floating across a face. My four-year-old grandson could have done this one in his sleep.   I am incredulous as I watch the recipient leave happy.
  
	A little guy is almost out of his chair, screaming and wailing “Let me out of here! You are hurting me! No! NO! I don’t like this! You are HURTING ME!” His screams are frightening now, I look up, ready to fight somebody.  The hairdresser is having a tough time working around a grandma and a mama who are holding him in the chair by pinning arms and legs that are struggling as he screams.

	When I got to my chair I noticed my stylist is cute, young, she will probably have some punky ideas. I like that!  She washes me up, not finding a tick, which I think is a great start. As we talk she discovers I teach school. Her eyes bug out. “They let you teach with that color hair!” she spits out.

	“I would like to see them try and stop me,” I fire back.  I look in the mirror at my new Peter Pan haircut. I look like a boy, but at least most of the burgundy is still there.  So much for generalizing how punky young can be.

Artie the Ant Meets Freddy the Fly

Lil' ol' Artie the Ant,
Mosin' down the ant trail,
With his three pairs of shoes,
Happened upon Freddy,
That wasn't good news...
See ants gotta' follow a specific trail,
They can't branch off on their own,
And Freddy was blocking the way,
And Artie hadn't an Ant Cell Phone...
So he was stuck in that spot,
He let out an Ant Groan...

But Ant's are real strong,
Like a Superbug hero...
So Artie picked up ol' Freddy,
And tossed him from ground zero,

But flies got lots'a eyes,
They can see everyway,
If you don't believe me,
Go check out Vincent Price,
In that movie some day,

So one with super strength,
And one with super vision,
Seemed a super dead-lock,
An even decision...

Then along came 4 musical bugs,
Big ones, calling themselves
The Beetles,
As our two warrior bugs,
Sat on pins and needles...

The four musical bugs,
Broke out into song,
They were quite good,
And it was only 3 minutes long...

"She Bugs You,  Yeah, yeah, yeah!!!'
They sang out with glee,
So our two warrior bugs,
Decided to follow along,
with a passing by flea,
To bug out of there,
Cause they wanted to see,
Another rogue bunch,
Of musical pests,
The "Rolling Bugs"
They were called,
As they infested seaside nests....

Thus Artie and Freddy
Passed into Bug History,
As the first beach "buggies"
That the world was to see.

Premium Member My Italian Grandma

Nona is love with a spoon in her hand,
To stir the pot or smack your hand.

She's free with her hugs, her stories, her food,
But if your bad she comes unglued.

She hustles and bustles all over the place.
She fusses and worries and gets in your face.

If she can't solve your problems with food and a hug,
She'll call in a priest and get down on the rug,

To pray for your soul and your problems she'll share.
With the priest and The Lord she'll lay her heart bare.

If you don't have a boyfriend then she's sealed your fate.
She'll call up her nephew and get you a date.

Never tell her you're hungry 'less you want to be fed.
She'll feed you till your eyes bug out of your head;

And when she feeds you you'd best clean your plate.
If you don't eat it all then her food you must hate.

Then her feelings are hurt and you feel like a cad,
So eat till you're sick so she don't feel bad.

She's the queen of the guilt trips and the queen of hearts,
But she does give new meaning to the phrase,"Ow! that smarts."

Her eyes still twinkle though she's withered and old,
But when God made her, He broke the mold.

Premium Member My Happy Is Off the Chart

The sun is shining brightly
On high and in my heart
Can't think of any good reason
Why my happy is off the chart

Could it just be a fluctuation
In my everyday ebb and flow
Or am I about to inherit a fortune
Perhaps fifty million or so

That'd get my heart a-pumping
Have to go lie down I fear
Gotta survive to enjoy my luck
At least for a few more years

Maybe a trip to some exotic place
Where girlies dress in grass skirts
Swing and sway oh what a scene
This stress I must try to avert

Always been a real big sucker
For members of the opposite sex
They drive me wild, my eyes bug out
I stutter and stammer, by heck

How bout that, my fine feathered friends
Survived another bout of girly-itis
One day it's sure gonna get me good
When it renders me totally speechless

The sun is shining brightly
On high and in my heart
Know why I'm so pooping happy
It's the joy you Soupers impart

Premium Member The Ides of a Parch In March

It is the ides of March  
My throat feels parch 
It’s like we were stabbed in the back 
On the level of the Brutus attack 
They say there is a bug out there 
Stalking the air 
Taking down life’s nice modern day special things 
That keeps peace for leaders that include royal Kings 
As we say good bye to social interaction 
Allowing isolated bitterness to an acceptable attraction 
I give my gratitude for that glass of water 
From the returning reporter 
In the field
Asking the question, “what is the deal”? 
There are many ways to look at this mess 
Claiming being a member of the press 
Listen and think before one write 
Since paranoia can breed an uncomfortable plight 
Communication is important right now 
Maturity is a key in knowing how 
With my voice now clear 
Trying not to offend a Mexican beer 
Carrying on with the show 
That is about distributing information on what we think we know

No Faze

No Faze
20/08/2018


This is not a passing faze,
Your in my heart,
Your here to stay.
Captured and in raptures,
My swollen heart always stirs.
When your sweet smile comes to mind,
All else becomes a blur.
The sunshine your face exudes,
Make your eyes sparkle like jewels.
That cheeky grin thats mesmerising,
When time arrives for fantasising.
Sweet soft face so tantalising,
I’m in adoration and idolising.
Your perfect chest,
Inside and out.
I must be blessed,
I have no doubt.
You dress to kill, and dance to thrill.
My eyes bug out, our drinks I spill.
Your confidence is sassy,
Each move you make is sexy.
Your the girl of my dreams,
My everything it seems.
I’ll love you in every way
Until my dying day.
I’ve one thing left to say,
I’m never going away.
