A field day shoe fit for Mother Goose
  
Fruitless effort squeezing figurative juice
Pandora called triggering 
helter skelter to get loose
necessitating Bullwinkle J. Moose
to usher at yours truly

Mother Goose would find her tail feathers ruffled 

Hey diddle diddle

who both walked...

I can't feel my feet below the rubble
I feel numb inside once more

Sunflower Meadows was a place of mystical beauty, green and abloom.
That's where seven-year-old Ava lived, like laughter and spicy perfume.

And she loved golden, nursery...

applaud the glowworm’s stellar mimicry?

My son, John, was an engaging fellow, who was barely ten years old;
And liked frogs, marbles and playing ball, in luscious, noontime gold.

My son, John, was rather a dreamer, like the lazy cloud, sky features.

My Missing Muse

I have tried to write as of late,
but my mind has become a true blank slate.

My keyboard is bored and my ideas are bland.

To quantify an equation,
takes more than mere calculation,
Take the sun and moon, 
now consider they’re coordinations,
One 8 light minutes from earth, 
other just a single light second,
Both appear the same size in the sky,

Hickory Dickory Dock, the mouse,
Ran up the clock,
But the crooked little man
In his crooked little house,
Who caught this crooked mouse
After Humpty Dumpty's fall,
Could not prevent the coming
Down of baby, cradle and all!
Now old Mother Hubbard,
Checked...

Last night began in a darkened room
filled with forced friendships and opaque smiles.
We ate freshly popped popcorn with real butter,
probably the only real thing in the room, except for
painful memories, lost dreams and misplaced smiles.

May I share from inside,
My vision of truth that will not hid,
From my inside?
To help you along the way,
To end strife’s play,
For strife’s play will pay,
In the usual way!

My Love say, to my love
Hey!
You are...

“ECLIPSE OF A FRIDAY’S CHILD”

Childhood nursery rhymes stick like glue
Parents provide our initial point of view 
Before our vocabulary has fully matured
Enabled to recite nonsensical verse –allured

Dismayed that Little Bo-Peep had lost her sheep
Aghast at...

I don’t have a drinking problem
I drink til I get drunk
Then I stumble home
    Where I live all alone
        And I diddle my own junk.

When we were just young kids hanging around 
the one grocery store there was in town 
drinking Yoo-Hoo and chewing Bazooka Joe 

While we were joking, cussing and spitting
playing baseball, swimming or just sitting
Our innocence...

POPPIES  &  MUSHROOMS

One to inhale with my big brown eyes.
Fly like a kite,

Join me in this lollipop fight.
Till we say Goodnight.

Some things you don’t know ... 
and you don’t really wanna

Certain information overload

Make you not trust your own eyes
Sometimes custom pants

Better stay sober;

The Christians call it dogma,
but the left calls it P.C.,
the word ‘problematic’ is
how the left spells ‘heresy.’

The Christians called them ‘heathen,’
the left likes to say ‘fascist,’
unless you get them really mad,
then it’s ‘white supremacist.’
