America, Made of Awesome, Part Ii

Freedom foremost, and the will to fight
to keep and protect our natural rights.
Nightclubs, jello shots, disco balls
mechanical bulls, beers cold and tall!
Baseball, football, and basketball games,
crazy rodeo riders on horses untamed.
Books by the millions, more than can be read,
and knowing anything can be by anyone said.
Burgers on buns, potato and tortilla chips,
yeah, those are American, born in Texas!
Satirical cartoons, radio and TV,
the magic that was Hollywood, as it used to be.
Ragtime, Bee-bop, Rockabilly, and Jazz
Swing, R & B, movie soundtracks, and Bluegrass.
The warm blanket of country when feeling cold,
the power and fury of rock and roll.
The grind of hip-hop and of rap…
on second thought, we apologize for that.
But funk gets things all out of control,
and who can say no to harmonious soul?
Stream locomotives, tracks narrow and wide,
flying machines that soar through the sky.
The glorious art that is the western,
and old Las Vegas, the moral tester.
The miracle of southern barbeque,
the burn of moonshine, or Mountain Dew.
Soft ice crew and greasy-fast French fries,
the expectation that politicians lie.
Liberty in law deeply enshrined,
muscle cars driving of the right side.
Suburbs, cabins, farms and guns,
and every legally available type of fun.
Forests, combines, and big chain-saws,
as well as full equality before the law.
A vast landscape, awesome to see,
an undying faith in our families.
Art from great down to lackluster,
recalls, vetos, and filibusters!
Checks and balances on the powerful,
we invented the internet, so things are never dull!
Mountain bikes and rollers blades,
fried chicken and biscuits, porterhouse steak.
Diners, dairy bars and fast food,
we walked on the friggin’ moon,
and built the only probes that escaped
into the void of interstellar space.

I could go on, I am tempted to,
but I think I’ve made my point to you,
And when young fool have yelled there fill,
reject their nonsense talk of “guilt.”
All nations have screwed up, it’s so
but perfection is something man never knows.
This nation still tires to confront is sins,
and brings forth profusions of great things.
The scales upon which we are weighed,
are ever clear in what they say:
When it all is said and done,
America is made of awesome.

The Sober Drunk

The sober drunk

He woke up early, had fallen asleep when drunk
now, he was sober trembling hands and blurred vision 
full of self-loathing; what happened once, he had been
a little boy in the Vatican and bathed in Fonte Aguiar
that’s what his mother said, and knew it was
not true, but enough for him to expect to succeed.
Walking to work, he had an unimportant snack bar in town
he stopped at a butcher and bought sliced ham to make 
sandwiches also stopped at a shop and bought several
bottles of beer to get the courage needed to confront 
young people, buying French fries and soft drinks.
Now that it was winter, not many people had money
came, and he was faced with long hours of tediousness
yet, he was secretly glad no one came.
Since his wife left him, worst of all had taken the dog
also, living at her father’s farm, he had no one to look after
drinking had become a problem, sometimes he closed 
early so he could go to the pub and drink hours away.
He had been a seaman with a college degree, a good job 
and had read hundreds of books, some of them good, his
favourite writers were Dos Passos and Ernest Hemingway
He also read supermarket books on “how to win friends
and be a success.” This was his problem, he didn’t know 
how to get along with people without a drink in his hands.
One day, after buying sliced ham, but no beer, he rang
the people he had rented the snack bar to, told them he
quit, and went to an AA meeting.
At the meeting, he took the issue of what many middle-class
people said those who endlessly spoke of suffering, telling
stories of how drunk they had been and done, which
in his mind was not very much to go on about.
Friendly people they were, but one got the sense that
the down and out were not made welcome.
Since he was not drinking, his hands still tremored 
went to see a doctor who said he had diabetes and wrote
out a note to buy tablets; apparently, according to
the medic had had this condition for many years, a toll
on his heart which was not in great shape either.
he lives now, a quit in Portugal and happily drinks red wine
in the evening, he says to himself.  “I’m not an alcoholic.”

Talking of Vegetables and Other With Humor

The tomato is the Kamikaze
    of the kitchen ...
    every day in droves or
    sliced ??..

    The onion is offered
     all life ... all over
     naked, defoliation in all
      veins ... covers ...

     Garlic is full of proud ...
     Does not attend
     in all dishes ... only comes
     to be a partner in spice ...

     Eggplant is a lucky fellow,
      rarely comes to war ...
      Almost never is summoned
      to be eaten ...

      Chuchu ... come on pet
      dear ... serves God,
      and everybody ... in the salad
      and in the juice ...

      Lettuce, it's buddy
      trendy  to classics,
      live on high elite,
       in the mouth of the muses
       and artists ...

       Bunny Carrot,
       and eye fortifier ...
       It comes together in salads,
       and it's cake batter ...

        Asparagus, it's fine stuff ...
        just adores high society ...
        Loves the bourgeoisie,
        and it doesn't appear on every fair ...

        Jerimum, known and
        called pumpkin,
        but loves to be called
       of zucca, or zapallo ...

        Azafran ... is  snobby ...
        Don't even talk of saffron,
        this distant poor cousin ...
        But it is delicious in rice ..
        This already proved is fact, ...
        Said to be Spanish, but it is
        from Egypt...

        Some others I'll just name ...
        Maxixe, is for those who appreciate ...
        Many dance the rhythm from Brazil ...
        Okra has drool and beard
        and some sticky taste ... there
        in MINAS with chicken
        it looks tasty ...
        And the cilantro ... ah! .. for
        who eats it ... I ...
        I do not ...!
        Cumin ... makes spice,
        a care for you to dreams ...
        Without cumin I eat everything
        alone ...

       Finally the POTATO ...
       Bread of the poor and the rich ...
       Packaged in salad, cooked,
       French fries ...  potateee,
       Kartofen ... how tasteful  ...!
       You have fought in many wars,
        saved many lives ...!

Premium Member No Toilet Paper

No Toilet Paper

My mind is boggled. 
What is with the Coronavirus mania? 
Why is everyone going freaking nuts over this? 
From what this writer understands, 
It is much like the regular flu, 
Which is killing thousands as we speak, and 
Hospitalizing even more. And this has been going on, 
As long as I have been alive since 1952. 
But this particular microbe is novel, and 
Since little is known about it apparently, 
People are afraid they will “get it.” 
So off to Costco they all go, and 
Buy as much toilet paper they are all permitted to buy, 
Take it home, store or hide it with the other family treasures, 
And then realize, inexplicably, that now 
They are all magically immune to “getting it.” 
Is that what these crazed souls are thinking? 

I can think of a fate worse than “getting it.” 
Worse than sports games being cancelled; 
Worse than concerts and plays going on indefinite hiatus; 
Worse than school classes and Sunday services finding the exit door, for now; 
Worse than millions of vacations being cancelled, and 
Entire industries being brought to their knees; 
Worse than the world economy taking a complete nosedive 
Into depression and financial paralysis; 
Worse than millions of human beings dying 
Horrible, agonizing deaths due to this little microbe. 
No, I can think of something even worse. 

Imagine going to Steak Corral - All You Can Eat, 
One night soon, and you wanted your money’s worth. 
So you load up your plate with: 
Whiskey-laced, barbecued baked beans and garlic bread; 
Two breadcrumb-laced quarter pound char-burgers,
Each smothered in a half dozen beer-breaded onion rings, 
With ranch dressing dripping over them like lava.
Then you go get some more beans on french fries with
Big raw garlic chunks nestled in them, and then, 
You wash it all down with three beers. 
Imagine the next morning.
Imagine the horror, the horror, 
Of voiding all that Steak Corral stuff, and then 
Having the absolute worst possible thing 
Happen to you in today’s crisis times.
No toilet paper.

Premium Member Remember When

Remember when suburban and small town stores were closed Sunday morn?  
Remember when they rolled up the sidewalk at night at nine-thirty or ten?

Remember when the attendant pumped your gas for less than 20 cents a 
   gallon?
And when you opened the hood, you could find the gears and the trans?

Remember when a national holiday didn't mean 'beach, beer or barbeque?' 
Remember when vacations meant marshmallow roasts by a campfire 
   uplugged?

Remember when the policeman walked his beat on the street, and was
   friendly?
And that via US mail was the only way a picture postcard out-of-town could 
   you send?

Remember when a paper was a dime, baseball cards and candy bars a nickel?
Remember when fans, and players, were loyal to their teams, and not so 
   fickle?

Remember when the soda jerk in the white paper cap poured us phosphates?
And how 'bout the linoleum tiles of those diners and all the greasy French fries 
   we ate?

Remember when we danced the twist, the frug, the Freddy and the swim?
Remember when we camped outside the ballpark and near the end the 
   usher let us in?

Remember when you paid nothing for medical insurance and how much   
   it covered?
And the Doctor used his hands to examine you, then told you, without 
   ordering any tests, what was wrong?

Remember when friends and neighbors sat on the stoop, shooting the breeze
   on hot summer nights?
Remember when the sounds we heard were not gunshots, but the crickets, in 
   the moon shining bright?

Remember when we covered our hearts with our hands when the National 
   Anthem was sung or played?
And we knew the words and sang along, with a lump in our throats, and tears
   in our eyes, 'O, say...'  

If you remember these things, and they seem as precious to you as they do 
   to me,
Then make a poem of your memory ~ Capture them forever for your children
   for free.

I Never Got the Chance To Say Goodbye

There you were. Here you were a tear falls down my eyes as I see you getting weaker. 
Doctors predicted 4 months to live and I was still living in a delusional world I could 
never quite see over that rainbow where you were gone from me. It seemed too strange to 
ever see my life going on without you here with me. Then the four months went by and you 
were still here a new treatment, a new try... but the pain keeps getting deeper. I wanted 
you to live forever to be my dad until the end of time and all the while I noticed that 
this disease was breaking you down and it hurt. If it was breakfast in the morning it was 
usually liquid in the bucket by lunch, you couldn't keep any food down and your favorite 
foods taste like garbage. I wished I could help you, I almost resented your anger when I 
didn't bring ketchup to put on your french fries. You claimed I was inconsiderate and 
then when i'd cry you'd wipe my tears and sing me songs full with lies. I always ended up 
forgiving you and thinking that you'd always be here tomorrow to talk to. How naive I 
was... almost a year went by and than each couple of weeks you were in an out of the 
hospital. The ambulance was at our house more than anyone else... I had to call every 
time you were in pain and I sat by you reassuring you things were going to be ok. But I 
never got the reassuring talk from you... I was too late to visit you in the hospital and 
I hate myself for not seeing you. By the time I visited you couldn't talk or breath on 
your own... The only sign of life was the monitor. I cried so hard that day and I cried 
for after. Hard times were coming then and I could have used reassuring words from my 
father. But I guess I can't fault you... I can never blame you, It just hurts me that I 
never got a chance to say good bye. I never got to say " I love you".

Premium Member Memphis and Minnesota

Like French fries and ice cream, two different places but retain the same meaning

Hot and cold like I am riding with the a/c on and the window down to catch the perfect breeze

If we were born in the same state would our relationship ever equate 

You can never be certain of what is to come but you can control your outlook

We used to go by intuition, then we used the stars, then we stumbled upon maps, before listening to the GPS

Someone will always have an opinion, direction, plan for what should be your relationship 

When the only map that matters is the directions to your relationship goals, the only opinion that matters is the thoughts floating from the mind of your queen or king

So, when all is lost and you are frustrated with bae over the little things

Look into the stars in their eyes under that Minnesota sky to find the answers

Why fight over the little things when in the beginning we connected through all of the little things

The way he would kiss her right before he said goodbye, was never the same as the kiss he gave as he said hello, it was special as if he was in the same moment she was thinking of as he walked away

The way she would hold you just a little tighter when she was afraid and believe in you when you didn’t believe in yourself

She has never been to Tennessee but I can picture her under the Memphis sunset, as to say it will all be ok at the end of the day

We get on each other’s nerves but all we have is us when everything else is gone, so no matter how hard life gets I will always be the one to kiss her goodnight

As we lay back and pop in a movie that we will never finish before our eyes close with my arms around you and your faith carrying my wavering thoughts

p.s. our feeling will stay the same, never changing same as the birthplace…

Probably with the most evilest of laughs! 
89,000 gold nuclei per second.
Sounds medieval:knowledge and enquiry 
based on ancient findings. Findings learned from
Latin and Greek Natural Scientist.
Medieval scientific knowledge and enquiry 
precious metal gold was a dream of
 medieval alchemists.
Instead of focusing on fixing individual parts,
systemic thinking looks at how everything
 in a system is connected.
Have the Mad Scientist of our past made a comeback
through channeling into the souls of these men?
Are they wicked for achieving what Madmen 
had tried to achieve for centuries?
Soliste in the power of invention.
Colliding beams of lead
 short-lived gold ions.
 refine particle-accelerator  residue
lead is a very difficult element to make
lose protons and for it to lose 3 of them
to change it into gold requires huge 
amounts of energy
These Men are either wise or Mad!
hematite, a iron oxide mineral
found on Mars might have inspired this Madness!
Their are no confirmed evidence of gold on Mars

As always when in the initial throes
of writing what I strive to concoct viz
pièce de ré·sis·tance, 
which grandiose whim fizz
hills with utter futility, nonetheless this
nondescript husband under

scores comment, while pulling his
grizzled hair of chinny chin chin,
and emphasizing that mine
literary effort ain't no whiz,
whether expressing an insatiable hunger
for factual national world events,

weird news i.e. geico liz
heard eats dog, 
(who swallowed homework) quiz
sic hull varying from opinion/editorial,
geopolitical related or showbiz,
but breathe deep, while setting loose

quiet riot of ideas, 
which profuse accursed
process usually incorporates an overwhelming
growing exponentially cerebral burst
whereat impossible task
looms large, asper how to

zero on most agreeable needling
threadbare notion to come first
amidst the plethora of rampant analogous
to horde of infants 
clamoring tubby nursed
bajillion ideas touting joyfulness

(re: l'chaim), or...mine
envisioned sorrowfully immersed
demise as select small group
of family and friends accompany
glassy transparent hearst
(which...shh... keep on the Q.T.

as figuratively utter by pursed
lips), of course no corps
(habeas corpus cited for no reason),
but liver worst
poisoning wrought unexpected demise,

AND cremation (in a free nation)
means body double 
coffin before your eyes
doppelganger paid in blood
money and french fries
(duet to a solo salt craving) no lies,

hence an none nee moose penniless chap dies
in short shrift within schema of mortal guise
ashes scattered all points on the compass
one bitcoin player in the blockchain of life wise
lee subsumed within world

Premium Member The Joy of Food

I should eat healthy, I really should!  But life is too short for that.  Food, food, food, 

it chases away the blues, it brings comfort to the soul.  So here is a list of the foods

that I   L.O.V.E.  and that make me happy. You will note a theme of cheese and

dripping butter (and chocolate) . . . 


a chocolate bar, anytime
bananas, green, not ripe
crackers and cheese, as a snack
drenched in blue cheese, salads and homemade croutons
even, tortilla chips and chunky salsa
French fries from a chip wagon (on my way home from the gym)
grandma's recipe for beef stew with loads of vegetables and a rich gravy
hamburgers and hotdogs off the barbeque with all the fixings
ice-cream, chocolate of course
just out of the oven, french bread
keep the donuts and coffee coming
loads of meatballs, made from mom's recipe (in a sweet tangy sauce)
macaroni made with three kinds of cheese
nothing better, than spaghetti with meat sauce and parmesan cheese
onion soup, french canadian style, dripping with cheese
pizza, deluxe (peanut butter on toast before bed)
quick take out of chicken wings with hot sauce
really, really old cheddar cheese
steaming cobs of corn, dripping with butter and salt
tomato, bacon, and lettuce sandwich
until I say stop, chocolate
vegetables fresh for a farmers market
what is wrong with me, this is all so unhealthy
x-tra, of everything, please
yogurt with strawberries on the bottom
zesty dill pickles, aged one year
