Premium Member The Best of Times

Splashed myself with Jovan musk..
to cover up sweat from the docks.
worked all day, back ached.,but I swear,
I'm comin' to see you bright-eyed one.

'Cause you were the best of times,
you were the worst of times, and 
I swear to always love 'em both...

Quick fill up for the trusty Mercury..
picked through my favorite tapes,
while miles of curvy road fade to twilight. 

Sister Fran said 'she'll be down in a minute',
I sit and talk to her and brother Tom..,
while you preen and finger the Aqua Net..

Fashionably late to the Sadie Hawkins dance.,
let it sway and twirl in your Farrah Fawcett waves,
acted bored at the tinsel covered gym,
friends in decoration committee made so fine..

And I care about you so, never want to let you go,
it's sure to break my weary mind. 

Pull you close to let the street lights play..
pass my arm around elastic waist,
jean pockets were made to hook a lover
and I always love that bright eyed face.  

Two fiery eyes shined in the best of times,
stormy reverie in the worst of times, and 
I swear to always love 'em both...


Premium Member Kick the Boot- a Poetic Sale

Kick the boot  

Kick the boot  

Put it in the net after we shoot  

Kick the boot  

Kick the boot  

Get a goal that would be a hoot  

Kick the boot  

Kick the boot  

I will play my magic flute  

‘Toot Toot’ 

This theatrical action  

Conjured up a wonderful attraction  

Since suddenly there  

A lovely dare  

Looking like a tease  

We must mind our manners ‘using the words thank you and please’  

Kick the boot  

Kick the boot  

There is a Sicilian girl who is unbelievably cute  

Sporting a designer Italian business suit  

“Oh boy just kick the boot”  

She exclaimed  

Knowing how to play the game  

Blushing we, both turned red,  

Over what was said  

As our mouths went mute  

The lady started to root  

When things seemed done  

Our new companion wanted to have fun  

“May I ask?”  

“If I do this simple task?  

Kicking off my painful high heels  

That boot may I steal? 

The one you kick  

Is the favorite that I would pick 

To wear  

And cover my leg that is bare.”  

I quickly replied  

While my buddy almost fainted and died  

“Kick the boot 

Kick the boot  

I will play my luring flute  

Encouraging that Sicilian girl who sure is cute”  

It was then  

I must commend  

The dream did come to an end  

And when I saw my dear friend  

At school  

I told him the nighttime vision that was cool  

“We made this incredible goal score  

And it was witnessed by a Sicilian who we did not ignore  

Instead, we did as she request  

And gave her our fashionably boots that were the best  

She went home  
All alone  

And when she kicked off the boot  

She remembered the young boys who were cute  

And sincere with that romantic flute  

Two that were filled with amour  

Successfully managing the five and dime department store,” 

Moral is  

In the retail biz  

Kick around a boot  

While playing a magical flute  

You never know when the one will arrive  

Needing to buy  

A boot  

On display next to a flirting flute

Premium Member Cigars

Ah! There is nothing, nothing that adds to a gentleman's persona,
Like that of fashionably sporting and puffing a five-dollar Corona!
With a cigar in his jowls, he can socialize with disdainful pretense!
Clad in his ten-dollar Goodwill suit, he exudes tawdry opulence!

What better way at the end of a sumptuous repast,
And after the snifters of brandy have been passed,
Than to light up an aromatic Presidente' with the fellows,
All puffing to keep the fire lit as a farrier does with his bellows!

The king on his throne and the bum in his shack enjoy equal pleasure,
Each puffing his favorite stogie, blissful beyond all measure!
I'm told that even some ladies enjoy a puff now and then.
I tip my fedora to them for they are braver than some men!

The aroma of my Panetella clings to everything in the house,
And that doesn't foster good relations with my loving spouse!
She admonishes me about that constantly as she stifles a choke,
And it aggravates her to see good money going up in smoke!

For decades I have enjoyed the pleasure of a fine cigar.
Never mind that doc says my lungs are filled with tar!
He's written an apt epitaph when my existence becomes moot:
"Here smolders this old galoot!  He's puffed his final Cheroot!"

The Hands of Time

Does Time really run like clockwork,
True to the dictates of mankind,
Never more than a mill-second out?

Or does someone or something have a hand,
In giving some of us more time than others,
With many arriving at their destination dead on time, 
And others cheating death more than once,
By being fashionably late, 
With many frozen in time,
Awaiting their arrival?

And if that is so,
Do the thinkers get the most time,
And the more impulsive less?

Do we all travel through time at the same pace,
Or do some of us have more time to waste?

Can our actions speed up time,
Or is it inaction that is the time killer?

Maybe we need to take a leaf out of the good book, 
And accept like Jesus did that our time here is based,
On the task we have been set,
And that we  get to stay as long as that takes,
No more, no less,
And clocks will never accurately measure,
What is set in stone, 
By a different set of hands?

Now Is the Winner of Our Disco Tent Comp

Now is the winner of our disco tent comp
Maids glorious shimmer by
This sun on my Yorkie
Puffing clouds as Lorde plays in our house
In the deep base of the ocean eyes buried
Our brows found with sweated wreaths;
Our boozed arms
hands up for chocolate moments
Ring the alarms whoop whoop its the sound of the police
Our wayward marches due to delightful measures.
Grim has got his visa
The aged war has smoothed
And how, instead of mourning barbered heeds
Too light the soles of playful sand shoes
He rolls papers nimbly in a unisex chamber
To the languished pleasing of a Dr Dre loop
Have no shape for sport or tricks
Norwegian made dubious furniture not to last
I am that rude
Stamping on your majestic Magnum
To strut before
What you wan't man
I will cut that tail
Fair is my complexion
Cheated by the creature
Breaking is my nature
Deranged, not ends, start and not to stop
Breathing on this world, scared
your mind made up,
So tamely and in fashionably time
Take a step past my dogs that bark
It may be your last


Premium Member Love's Masquerade

Love’s Masquerade


Love, you old chameleon,
hiding on the edges of truth
deceiving the searching eyes
playing hide and seek with hearts.

Hidden in the doubts of self esteem’s flowers
obscured by the shades of loneliness
covered in the dust of fear’s remembrance
naked amidst the fashionably alone.

Love, you lazy purring cat,
motionless observer of your world
slowly blinking hypnotist
gently guiding stumbling fools.

Curled upon the lap of cautious time
mellowing in patient acquiescence
mewing in the background of a dream 
soft catalyst of love struck conflagration.

Premium Member Boy With a Skateboard

Boy With a Skateboard.

Her heart pounds, the cup in trembling hand
The waitress assures he’ll be here soon
The minutes pass like hours
Her face doesn’t betray her anxiety
Putting herself out there
Easily hurt, another sip of time passes.

His cap is fashionably back to front
Skateboard in hand, wheels facing out
Too old to be surfing the path, surely?
His nonchalance might be a show
Her pretty eyes deserve more, but
She’ll put up with his childish
Hobby for now.

He leaves, another show of dominance
Mutters something about sitting outside
She stays, finishes the coffee. Her cup’s
Drained. Unable to fight, her phone
To her ear. In he comes and they speak
Face to face on the phone. He picks up
His skateboard, I can’t see but imagine her 
Eyes rolling skyward, thinking will he
Ever grow up? Probably not, but she’ll
Carry on for now.

Premium Member She Says I Should Try It


There’s a good chance all this
pushing electrons around comes to nothing.
Odds stacked like junk mail—still, here I am,
fingers on the keyboard,
small-time criminal trying to spark
a live wire in the dark.
 
Guessing the radius of a hummingbird’s wingspan,
tiny engines thrumming against the wind
and chance—
sometimes it has to be enough: staying alive, curious,
sticking around on this dumb rock another day.
 
Every morning I scare myself sideways,
arms windmilling through the network airwaves,
patterns I'd never choose—would never wear
on a blouse, would never endorse on a ballot—

but a body in a republic needs covering.
Prudence and his counterpart need costumes.
 
And the pervs at the loom never stop
selling bolts of period-colored cloth,
cotton picked from whatever’s
fashionably oppressive that season.
 
Please forgive 
the generalizations—
maybe they  fail—but this
is the texture under my fingernails,
as enduring as the Giza Pyramid complex,
the grit behind my teeth. I am so disappointed.
God, I am. The boogeyman broke his mask; turns
out he’s human, only human, so human he’ll complain
about ice ratios in a fountain drink handed through a window.
 
And what’s one person to do
but tune intentions, clean hollow bones,
watch birds fly backward to keep their wings
from getting chewed by turbines
while the world groans forward anyway?
 
Meanwhile I’m shouting don’t eat that
to my mother on her birthday
as she plucks red berries
I know are poison, scrolling Facebook,
thumb poised to love an AI photo.
 
I keep screaming, but she doesn’t hear me.
Swears it’s fruit, swallows, says delicious.
Then asks if I’ve gotten the Sphinx’s autograph, 
asks about whether 

I’ve solved the riddle of existence.

Adults Only

The twins woke up as usual again
Waiting outside in the glowing sun
For the train to come at 8:00 am
It arrives by 8:10 every day precisely
One boy blond, one girl blonde, age 5 shimmering
Powder blue eyes with long smiles begin
With matching curly hair bending
Displaying a bag of marbles ready to toss
They positioned themselves fashionably
Between two railroad tracks on solid trestle beams
Rolling away the day to play after morning prayers
The children were astounded at the sounds approaching
A speeding train from the north roared down
Another locomotive from the south readied for a head to head
Somehow they ended up on the same doomed track
These things happen
Just before the collision occurred
By the way, both were going 90 miles per hour
People yelled out
Avert your eyes at the appropriate time kiddies
This is not going to be pretty
Adults only are permitted
8:10 am had come and gone
We all knew something was wrong
