Four times, nay, five it's true, Grim Reaper  defied.
The first was when down Hollywood streets I flew at Ninety five.
Averting wheel, I turned it fast
and struck my head on window's glass
Past throngs of people...

Oh honey, honey. What do you think you are doing?
You are doing nothing, but brewing.
Brewing up all of this hate for you.
He doesn’t want you, and you are slowly turning blue.

My sister Susie loved picking her nose
To her chagrin her little finger froze
It was stuck so far
Doc used a crowbar
Finger up nose - not a ladylike pose!

Our Mother, in a fit of Pique
At Susie's antics...

The crowbar rattled at the clattering noise,
In the yard, against the hulls and hoys,
A Cloud of tar smoke rose through the green,
Large oil slicks floating on the lake sheen.

Inconsistent hills throughout the landscape,
The sunlight was...

He was young  and attractive and quite debonair,
An upstanding young man who was going somewhere.
Or so it would seem if you knew not his history.
To we in the know he’s repulsive dark mystery.

In mania, the body unbinds itself.
The skeleton’s dense marrow becomes hollow,
an avian adjustment. It is accelerated evolution.
Fluttering and floating in a slew of thoughts
like nervous wind chime chatter.

My brother blew in through the rattling gate

With sound and syllable,

You picked out words 

Like a chef plucks

Spices from a cabinet,

You crafted sentences

How a composer

Pours his soul...

PORTRAIT OF MURDER

How can one human being
Take another one’s life,
Now they are dead, 
Seconds ago they were alive!
Bludgeoned to death,
With a hammer or crowbar,
Body dumped in a river
By a waterfall, quite far,
Suffocated and Strangled
With an...

A man who died at quite a young age, 
But his death is not what he’s famous for, 
His fame comes from what went years before.

Though I am a drop in the ocean you sail on,
one love is what floats (lifts all ships) on earth’s oceans.
Such truth can’t be fathomed, much less seen or nurtured!
Let ‘Love’ be rejoiced in; love’s...

It's hard to beat the old age inventions
When our bodies refuse to meet our intentions,
Those top shelf items you simply can't reach,
The ones at the bottom inaccessibly deep!

I can't squeeze the new leveraged grabber
And the...

Hopkins snakes

Old Hopkins had a rope ladder,
To keep snakes out of the house,
Snake killing sticks under the rain water tank,
In the shower, where a snake ate the mouse,
The fowls all lived up in the trees,
Brownies...

If you spray paint a glass ashtray,
and smash half with a crowbar.
Some tool may pay cash for that,
at your local bazaar.

Only silly witticism,
don't take it to heart.
Though the violins begin,
what does define art?

One little metaphor,
which...
