Alien talk I can’t understand
A Pifflewig performed a handstand
He verbalised through his ass
Gross putrid wind he did pass
Like many blokes throughout the land!

I farted, perhaps it was fear
Foul wind was expelled from my rear
The pifflewig...

Broken World



When the lies were injected 
into the veins of innocence
blue feathered quills 
dipped their nibs 
into the ink of golden stories
stalked by trolls 
dragging their fountain tips of liquorice

like shining razor blades
blunt remarks stinging...

I Choose My Friends So Carefully
by Caren Krutsinger & Rhona McFerran

Get back in your house,
I will stay in mine.
We won’t act like neighbors,
Everything will be fine.

I had given you chances,
Several actually,
Invited you to breakfast,
And had...

Shall I relay a sidesplitting hoot from my “care-free” on campus fun phase?
It entails a laboratory session involving three mystic world colossal oafs.
 One had an unerring penchant for Laurel and Hardy mishaps, the other...

Remember years ago, when you were fit
Now you can't stand too long, before you have to sit
And all the times that you ran to catch your bus
Now it just passes by and you stand and...

While shepherds watched their flocks so white
All contemplating dusk,
Their ’phones received some breaking news
All thanks to Elon Musk.
His Tweet announced a virgin birth
In a stable by an inn,
They danced around the windswept heath
To a flute...

For weeks 
I have been followed,
they mirror
my every move …


and now 
I’m dreaming them


they drifted in 
and separated me 
from my bed,
whisking me from my sheets
they fly me,
to curl the other place


soaring on dreams
brushing just...

TO THE TUNE OF IT WAS ON A MONDAY MORNING WHEN THE GAS MAN CAME TO CALL

It was on a Monday morning I went to the shopping mall
Folk filled huge trolleys sky high, to ensure...

Gobsmacked and bamboozled and confused

I peeked into the oven where the baking dishes slept
resting in a pot of onion stew
Couldn’t help but laughing, they were snoring as they wept
dreaming of a casserole or two

Picked a...

Overnight she grew glomming onto branches of a sparkle tree
The faerie village was gobsmacked, hard pressed to explain.
Had this marvelous castle sprung from the pretty pink bud they had admired so?
Or was the bud now...

Sorting through shovels
and picks and hoes.
I found at the bottom
an Axe that glowed


Under the soot 
as I smeared it away,
was writing in language
my mind cant convey


Smoothing an age
that layered its shaft,
I found underneath
it was a...

Jasper J. Jigglebottom was stuck in the sixties, and proud of the fact.
He was on a movie set, admired by many for he could certainly act.
His job was to be available to stand in until...

Imagine My surprise,
Not only in getting through in under 2 minutes, 
But also being helped by the first res-ponder

But wait it, didn't stop there,
I felt I was actually being treated as customer,
And what I had...

Love is magical,
a marvelous explosion of emotions
that morph into a series of intimate moments.
Migrating from your heart to your soul,
love captures your imagination at the beginning
and delivers a sense of belonging till the end.
Doubts, insecurities,...

A packet of seeds I got in the mail
from China it said. Well, isn’t that swell?

Having nothing to do – thought I’d plant them for fun,
so I watered them daily beneath summer’s sun.

Next thing I...

Dream of Sailing
By: Noel N. Villarosa


Never sailed on a three-masted sailboat
Where it bustles to find a smooth wave
Where the wind is its engine
And heels above at the wave’s commotion

Feel the quiver of disappearing...

[Inspired by ‘Stating The Obvious’
Contest but doesn’t meet the spec]


Millionaire, Bartholomew Fairfax
Admitted today, he ‘forgot’ to pay tax

Goodness gracious, well I never
Knock me over with a feather
Who’d have thought it
Pull the other one

And this from...

Gobsmacked, bamboozled and confused
— how to get one day back.
Imagine if one day was robbed of all its good and bad?
Perhaps a wedding, now she’s a virgin again-
he doesn’t remember the present he unwrapped last...

AWE WITH  YOU

I am amazed 
Filled with astonishment 
Surprised 
Filled with amazement 
   And I'm in awe with you
   Of all of the things you do
   I am...

Splatter painted, Pollock blessed, leggy I stand,
among the green grass and healing Plantain
in a kaleidoscope of color panned.

A walking canvas in the meadowland
stems, humorously stippled to entertain  
splatter painted, Pollock blessed; leggy I stand.

Sour trumpet, flat trumpet; disharmony you create…
That’s simply not music; that hot air, you blow;
clearly your valves are blocked. 

Where did you learn those old sour notes?
those twitters, squeaks and squeals,
I’m so bamboozled; you’ve gobsmacked...

Dumbstruck Is Me (a rhyming, acrostic kind of thing)


Discombobulated, how apt the word
Utterly gobsmacked by the absurd 
Mind numbingly mortified at the nonsensical 
By waking to find I’m without either testicle
Silenced as side by side...
