Well, it all started when
Jim Beam bet Jack Daniels
that Captain Morgan
couldn't go out
and get himself
some Wild Turkey.
Old Fashioned, like Old Granddad,
Captain Morgan like some of you,
really enjoys his Southern Comfort.
But mostly in the form of...

in intriguing little crime scene
we have here eh Inspector Marsupial
a freeway overpass whore's 
cardboard box and mattress
and a paperclip necklace 
juxtaposed on a dissecting table
at some point a losing strategy
has to be examined
even if the...

covering the earth like the robe of Virgin Mary.

And it aint just the weather that's been growin' cold
I think a little R & R would be good...

Ode to the Madman

It was heaven in hell, both.
It was 115 degrees and I was in hell.
But heaven was in sweltering Palm Springs.
And I tasted nectar and ambrosia, both,
Under the dauntless palms.
I took in the...

Low on the horizon she appeared 
A silhouette of pulchritude
Her face begged to be loved
Her dress addressed her needs 

She was shy but attentive 
Her green eyes teared a little
Her mouth puckered
And her scarf glistened

STRAWBERRY

Can you feel the warmness of the sun, 
reflecting off the red tones of my hair.
The sun touching the edge of my toes!

Up and down Louisville
No where to run or hide

And I know it’s not easy
When for others you’re trying to provide
I can not seem to get much further
Guessing whom to give...

DOES THE DEVIL MAKE A DEVILISH DAIQUIRI? 

So my folks said that I need to stop drinking
And after I did some serious thinking
I told them I would when I’m finally dead
Hey, straight up, that’s exactly...

 Quiet quibbles with silence and hushed wind’s quackery.
Have nonsensical need for an ice cold daiquiri.

Chicanery of leafy season, coursing slowly,
before its blustery countermand uplifts wholly.

Monotonous quarrel needs a quaff of arctic air,
an unquestioning brisk...

If healthy is how we desire to stay

No penance need be paid by the insular artisan
admonished for seeking an oral platinum quota.

then intermittently release the poise to up-start
inferiority complexes who'll quote of the literati,
