Premium Member Lightning Bolts and All That Stuff

 ~ A Lighthearted Look at Cheating on Keeping Kosher ~

         Pick my poison, shrimp or pork
           closed my eyes, lowered my fork

         I’d hankered for that suckling pig
           but I tasted shrimp, and couldn’t renege

         Lightning didn’t strike me, I did a jig
           of the (shrimp) cocktail, I took a swig

         Upon awakening, my stomach was rent asunder
           Hmm. I'd evaded the lightning ~ but not the thunder 


         ____________________________________________
          Sometimes older Jews tell young'uns that if they eat
          pork, they'll be struck by lightning... Seems they 
          should mention shrimp and other non-kosher fare too!

Premium Member Christmas Calling

Christmas is calling~ Get your decorations out.
In these hard days, it will help you to not pout.

The lights don't belong in a box when people are filled with fear.
Get them on early, light them,and God you will be bring you cheer.

There's simply no reason to dwell on these insane times.
So decorate early, trust me, it will make your heart shine.

It's up to you, to make this the most joyous time of year.
Who cares what people think?

Most of the world is intoxicated on media covid-cocktail drinks.
And I do soulfully think that exaggerated fear plain stinks!

We are still social animals, who need one another.
For shame on all, who think we must hide at home under the covers.

Just saying~ living in lockdown since March?
Is more than any human should take, such a political farce!

It's more than disgusting to be blocked from spiritual solace,
BUT oK by government loons, to in gambling partake.

Or worse, allowed unlimited to harm others in a riot.
But to meet with the leader of the free world, no they won't allow it?

Drunk on fear, freedoms gone out the window.
Do you really think you will get them back, as you won't do a thing!

Or...Just hide in acquiescent shadows?

Premium Member ON A TROPICAL ISLAND

    I planned  a trip to tropical island
    accompanied by a group of close friends.
    On way, one night we were compelled to spend
    at rest house  for a party that ran grand.

     Sumptuous tasty food ! Each to relish.
     Twelve guys with five young girls and seven boys :
      Fountain of champagne with cheers ! Loud noise.
      Whiskey, red wine, cocktail, mocktail : all finished.

       Entertainment reached peak touching summit.
      Against will, forced to drink lot turning tipsy.
      Soon failed to open eyes , feeling drowsy.
       Needed help to lie on bed , I admit.

       As I woke up, my friends dragged me to shore.
       When we arrived at island , I couldn't recollect.
       Felt grateful to those who were to select 
       such a nice place to enchant and allure.

      They told, how they carried me half sleepy.
      All ridiculed me stating last night's event.
      That's a part of clean fun and enjoyment.
      Sea waves thrashed on beach ! Feeling so happy.

       Wished to extend visit , staying alone,
       for a longer period, few days more,
      not only for scenic beauty but to explore 
       the tropical island turning each stone.

       They left me on the solitary beach.
       Slowly I was embowered with mist and fog.
       Got alarmed on sudden howling of dogs.
       Ran and ran to escape out of their reach.

       Chased by dogs, tumbled, rolled and to slip !
       Breathing heavy to run in hazy mist :
       Had a great fall wrapping the thick bed sheet.
       Woke up from the hang over and deep sleep.

Metamorphsis

For days and days the Professor would stay at Bingo Mountain. He meet people who brainwashed him into evil.ell respected, he'd lead the cause against tainted honey: now he make a batch of Carmel to add to the corny sweet syrups to fool a public into thinking they had purchase the best. Not only that he had developed a hideous habit. Eating the larvae and wasp and honey bees that he
had cultivated for study and breeding. It's said that he asked a chef to mix a fruity cocktail of nectar and wasps that he might devour them. A scientist there was world renewed, he had developed a potion that could change a moral man into a Hercules type person. They developed the Nectar of the Jupiter !
He had only to completely change his diet and had his blood filtered by a machine that recreated him into asuper human. Vile and wicked he became. One day The Shadowy Demon who had purchased his soul told
him he would be leaving never to be seen again. He gave him paper that made The Professor the ceo of Bingo Mountain and all his business ventures. Pollen Grafting machines and Pollen collectors would make him a richer person.Then he stood before the Professor and said " Never believe you ever met me:I am as strange to you as the day we met!" than he vanished into thin air!
Cultivating habits that promote personal growth, well being and an overall quality of life.
" Ripples in stream, where the moss covered slippery rocks are the only things beneath your feet!" " in I love the new me:such an affirmation cements the bonification of my need to love: I do love me so much!" Then he spoke to his new position: "sacred I stand ilmortal ,me among the Muses,Mnemosyne, the ancients shall remember me through there Muses until they bend there knees in submission!" "I am the solvent to all questions of art and science< I am the then< the now and future of both a model to stand through the ages!" He stood there
laughing: his evil laugh!

Premium Member Unfurled Rose

Unfurled Rose
“The unfurling of an alluring rose.”
 She felt something gently stirring her heart
Gradually her senses flew off chart
As he caressed her soft velvety charms
Alien vibes, until held in his arms.

Steadily her inner radiance glowed
Secret special moments she'd never known
Tingling all over, from head to her toes
All her inhibitions away they'd flown.

She'd never felt passion so intently 
Could it be a fairies tale, fantasy?
Truly her, igniting the world afire?
In a frenzied, ardent cocktail of desire.

The strings of her heart at last came untied
Releasing the love that she stowed inside
Alike birds on wings she flew high and wide
At last she felt free, no reason to hide.

She felt beauteous, as never before 
At last she found all she’d been yearning for 
The years fading away into the mist
In the romancing of a lover’s tryst.

“A rose with no joy or the will to live
Blossomed beneath her lover’s fingertips.”

Premium Member How I Welcomed the New Year 2020

I was nursing a Metamusel Cocktail to keep me on the go,

When I fell asleep in my Lazy-Boy 'round nine o'clock or so.

'Round midnight my clock chimes 'wakened me with a start,

And stumbling over the cat in the dark, to the bathroom I did dart!

(Like all of us old guys, 'twas essential that I take a leak!)

**Then I scurried to a window to watch the fireworks atop Pikes Peak.

Then to bed where Jeff the cat snuggled up snoring in my ear.

Now ain't that a wonderful way to begin another year!

**Way back in 1922, five guys calling themselves the "Frozen Five"
considered most New Years Eve celebrations to be boring and decided
to scale 14000 foot Pikes Peak to have a little fun. (I suspect that two
old and faithful friends, Jack Daniels and Jim Beam accompanied them
to provide solace and comfort!).  Along the way up the Barr Trail they
picked up a few railroad flares on the Pikes Peak Cogway and when they
reached the top of America's Mountain on New Years Eve they lit those and 
made a fire out of old railroad ties.   This created alarm among the citizens
of Colorado Springs!  This evolved into a tradition to this day by what is now
called The Ad-A-Man Club.  Each year the club ads a new member to the group and they ascend Pikes Peak and set off a beautiful display of fireworks at midnight much to the delight of folks in the city of Colorado Springs and surrounding counties.

Premium Member Easter Dinner

EASTER DINNER

they liked the one behind me
the teal and black checkerboard
its sparkling tiles on the diagonal
red, yellow, blue, pink pillows
on sofas and chair

the sunrise was unsympathetic 
like the cross, but the service
was cozy for Easter Sunday.
remember how it was raining yesterday?

they liked the one behind me
with framed women and palms
i’d have to look over my shoulder
see the eyes of the beholders

steadily for twelve hours plus
prepping the whole affair
can you smell the onions and peppers
the beginnings of love

they liked the one behind me
with the blue and pink sky,
red roses fanned out, ferns,
and modern art on display

stirred the flour, salt,
nearly a dozen eggs
and water, still needed
more water

they liked the one behind me
with the great picture window,
the surf and sail, red and white
striped shell, a book, and
a cocktail with straw

chicken - legs and breast
red and white wine
no deviled eggs - tossed
toadstool radishes

they liked the painting
it drew them in
i liked that they liked it
wonder if they saw
the red parakeet?

even the beach chairs are red
did they spy all the red things
obviously I’ve counted
most everything 
that is behind my back
and in front of me

Premium Member Welcome To Hillbelzer Island

Welcome to Hillbelzer Island, the home of forty winks.
A place where you can get rest, and six diverse cocktail drinks.
If you get distracted, come on down. We are loaded with shrinks.
They are ready to bill you so much money you’ll think they are finks.

We have the famous and the fickle  - wheel woman with yellow hat.
She rivals Curious George’s master, but she’ll put out the welcome mat.
We have the only red-bark trees in the Pacific Ocean, for sure.
Some meet some sad fishes, they are bait for a shark loader’s cure.

Hairy blue runners are ready to serve you at your beck and whim.
Don’t let them get too close to the water, they get lost in a swim.
Pink stork cup is mad at Wheel woman for sure big time today.
She is two-timing him with his brother, Mr. G. Barry Gray.

Eggplant Lady with the low lipstick smile is coming onto the beach.
Do not mention her errant eye, unless her ears are out of your reach.
She has quite a temper and will quickly throw you to a shark.
Come to Hillbelzer Island. I assure you, being here is a lark!

Plato's Retreat

Plato's Retreat

I want to be just like Socrates,
Grow a long beard and do as I please.
And be asking you allot of questions . . . .

For a Living.

I want to be just like Socrates
And not know for sure
If I'm real merely some altar in Plato's temple.

I want to be just like Socrates 
And stand in the forum all day.
In the blazing sun that surround us all
Under the the azure Athenian skies
And philosophize to anyone who bothers to listen . . .

For a Living.

I want to be just like Socrates
Corrupting my youth with a hemlock cocktail
Every Friday night; 
2, 4 1 before 7.

I want to be just like Socrates on a Saturday night
Asking you, at the bar: 
"What is Justice?"
And where can I score some tonight?
After hours,

Long after the widening sliver of 
your mind's eternal dawning.
