The Ghost of Bill Zison

A Penn Valley phantom appears to haunt and lurk
   premises at 1148 Greentree Lane
his youngest daughter (Abby) I pledged my troth and, natch won my Zison’s 
Dunkirk
  ire and vindictiveness akin to rivalry of Abel versus Cain
now breeds and festers hallucinations that make me go berserk
 also brings to mind myth of another named King Canute, a Great Dane
whose battle cry and hymn of the Republic made manifest with ease of dirk
  visitations with ethereal sprite pushes me to madness and makes me go 
insane
torture treatment mangles mental management amidst mire and murk!

The rattle of chains heard despite noiseless apparition and wraith, which curse 
and bain 
from dark and sinister shadows make me feel like a jerk
at such fallacious belief in preternatural imaginative creations ranked as inane
by this skeptic whose vulnerable acuteness to otherworldly visages does perk
especially during wee hours of morning when superstition runs amuck and 
seems to gain
upper hand and let spiral out of rational control thought of afterlife quirk 
yet confession must be made that long dead father of wife does wag finger of 
disdain
and utter silent disapproval and near ruination by marrying a bum of a guy who 
lacks for work!

Memories of the Viking

I stood upon the hill and closed my eyes,
And listened to the sound of wind and rain;
My face and hair were wet, my body chilled,
And then I sensed the presence of the Dane.

I turned around and saw him watching me,
And rooted to the spot, I forced a smile -
Although, the hairs were rising on my neck -
As motionless, he watched me all the while.

He wore a helmet, held an axe and shield,
A giant man, with flaxen beard and hair,
The face was hard, his eyes were cold and blue -
I can’t describe the menace in his stare.

It seemed like hours; I stared into that face,
And all the while, consumed by fearful dread;
I knew he meant me harm but couldn’t move -
Oh yes, I would have turned around and fled.

The booming thunder seemed to break the spell;
He glowed - then disappeared, as lightning flashed;
Though sceptics laugh and say I’d drank too much,
I’d found the place the Viking’s gold was stashed!

Mama Mia, Mama Mia

What mighty man shall this cup serve,
Whose power rests on fealty’s nerve,
With certain lust it shames to know,
How upon its charms did grow.

A thousand years did wax and wane,
Until a Dane did ascertain,
That time was ripe for certain news,
A book he wrote with crooked clues. 

A goodnight read did he convey,
Thoughts that caused some disarray,
With simple verse did he unveil,
A magic code that was the real.

Foul, foul to be so naughty!
Those dirty men at a party,
So many others not invited,
Rage and anger now ignited.  

His story told a subtle tale,
Of one who was a ripe female,
Into the night she had fled with seed, 
Carrying the babe of man’s misdeed.

The churchmen did not like this thought,
Preferring the plan they had bought,
That damsels ought to stay like that,
So a chosen few could pass the hat.

Whence upon the story broke,
The pope his army did invoke,
To arrest the man’s little scheme,
For thinking of this seamy dream.

Another bloke whose name was Leigh,
Who suffered from some jealousy,
Cried and yelled with all his might,
To no avail was the fight.

With all the Brownian motion,
There was a bit of commotion,
A genre hereby was created,
By an idea that many hated.

So what was really this all about,
That threatened those who were devout,
Could it simply have been so scary,
That the Man was sometimes Mary?

That they forgot a contraceptive,
Should not make us less receptive,
To one degree or another,
We all come from the same big mother.

So let us stop this boring blight,
Embrace instead the fun of night,
Dan the man stole an idea,
Oh mama mia, mama mia!

Dear Stella

Unbeknownst to you, I watched you from my perch.  I always hated the way your green eyes slithered all over my checkerboard feathers. The way you licked your paws and acted like you were Queen of the house. You played with our emotions and toyed with us, hissing like a wild cat ready to devour. 
at a moments notice 
you pawed us like mice 
that wasn't very nice!  
You were Robert's favorite pet, and when he summoned you nothing could deter. He fed you British Banquet and he groomed you like Queen Alice . You meowled and wrapped yourself around him, and all the while you were getting ready for the kill.   
Cheesesteak was my name 
feasting was your game 
that was pretty lame 
Stella, Stella go to Hell-a, you could have eaten mortadella.  But no !!! 
You had to devour poor Charlie, Elizabeth, Macaroni and Sizzle Bacon. 
Never mind that you strutted around like a King on a throne, 
you repeatedly made me feel small, and insignificant. 
empty cage what a shame 
Robert just bought a Great Dane 
he'll drive you insane! 
My name was cheesesteak and he purchased me at Mickaboo.  
Thanks to you now I'm dead, so as I wave to you from heaven
here is what I have to say, 
" Too doo loo 
Yoo Hoo    
Poo Poo On You!"

TO ENTHUSE MUSE

          All around my ample activities,
           abilities and inabilities,
           simultaneous creation,
            recurring recreation
                                          on wide broad spectrum.
                                          So! Seldom feel boredom.

         Never lazy,
         mostly busy,
         sometimes crazy,
                                       Yet, me at random,
                                       enjoying freedom.

       Muse floats on my professionalism
                              in Science stream,
      though Fine Arts claim enthusiasm
                                 in dulcet dream.
                   Relishing Literature, Music
                   Dane, Drawing, Painting being Ecstatic.
                   Remaining rapturous, frolic:
                   My inherent characteristic.

                 Entertainment and Activities entwined
                 run parallel like Like-Twins
                 I try to adorn life with imagination,
                 dormant desires ready for decoration.
                  
                  “Brevity is the sister of Talent”—
                  To enthuse Muse every moment.

Premium Member Driving With Miss Trixie

My driver’s education instructor was a keen cat named Trixie.
During our drives, she sat on my shoulder and whistled “Dixie”
How is she qualified? Asked my snoopy aunt named Pixie.
I could not answer, for I was slightly afraid of Miss Trixie.

She would bark in my ear with the call of a Great Dane.
“MOVE OVER FOOL! You are nearly in that fellow’s lane!”
She was startling assertive, and afraid of nothing at all.
She may have been a cat, but she seemed nine foot tall.

One time she took my face in her hands and made my head swivel.
I wish I was kidding, but I have to tell you, this is no drivel.
She said “Stop using the mirrors, fool! Turn your head NOW!”
She had a bellow that was angry, like a bull not a cow.

I learned what to do, and I learned it quickly through fear.
She was a no-nonsense cat, this was always quite clear.
She would not hesitate to slap me or slug me or pull on my ear.
I am always on my toes when Miss Trixie is near.

Premium Member The Darkened Shed

My spooky tale
Was when I was young
Caravan park
Where it all begun
 
A little girl
Disappeared one day
Like all little girls
Who frolicked, while play
 
A deadened shed
Amidst my dream
This darkened place
Not as it seems
 
I tell the police
I know where she is
I'm nine years old
Getting blamed for this
 
Where is she
What have you done
At nine years old
Wanting to run
 
As much as I try 
My legs don't move
As her family mourn
What can I prove
 
I'm now 48
Off this I still dream
And in my sleep
My eyes still stream
 
Standing by the shed
Being asked, where is she
Are they recurring dreams
Or was it reality

 
For John Loving's " spooky tale " event and i now challenge
            Dane Ann with a spooky tale of her own
