Long Gregariously Poems

Spawned from the loins that 
Perpetuated the loyal serfs mongrel
Seed:-
These peoples of a conditioned and
"Resigned-To-it-all" breed.
Born into the enveloping tedium
Of interlocking days...Interwoven
With interlocking days -
Victims of stark circumstance
And vague promises unmade.
Gregariously living out their lives
When...

   LizPiggo didn't answer, 
she just handed the money over to the 
Chinese lady and nestled into the quadruple 
wide booster seat the Chinese lady had placed 
for her. She liked LizPiggo. LizPiggo...

Pondering love’s inquisitions hitherto thine perplexities
as thou should knowest its tenderness requite.  
Whilst thy deliberate forthright such iniquitous fortitude of beguiling amorous utterances. 
Thine onliest causality lay boisterous extemporizations whereupon the chorus of crescendoing...

Conceived in nineteen forty six
By naturalist, Sir Peter Scott,
This wetland paradise now thrives
And teems with ducks and geese and swans.

The wild geese drew Scott to the marsh,
The flood plain of the river Severn,
Where countless wintering...

It’s not that I am bald;
It’s just that I am follicly challenged.
It’s not that I am short;
It’s just that I am vertically challenged.
It’s not that I am fat;
It’s just that I am sveltely challenged.

It’s not...

Alabaster annoyance 
Blatantly breathes bulbous brightness
Cadaverous comedy caring 
Daintily during delicate delivery
Exciting elderly enigma.
Furious fiery feeler
Gregariously greets
High-handed hustler
Ignoring imaginative immediates
Jauntily jeering judiciously.
Kangaroo kisses kibitzes
Leaving luxurious loners
Merrily masticating mincemeat.
Never-do-wells needing knowledge
Ostentatiously officiate on orange orangutans.
Precariously polite...

Pretend


Pretend that you didn’t have a twin sister
Who lived in a little flat
Pretend there weren’t bright flower pots outside
Where in summertime, she sat


Pretend that she didn’t have two tiny dogs
Who accompanied her everywhere
Pretend that she...

Intuition flares,
prancing in ostentatious circles,
feather-tip proud.
Lugubrious grey wigs 
speckle gregariously
bedecked by flamboyant gems:
they flicker frustratingly
in stifled Regency ballrooms.

Our embers, in contrast,
are quiet. Shushed. 
They wallow in dark corners, 
hidden from prying eyes.
Predators.
Our collective eyelid
flutters closed:

L-ike a star in the sky
Y-ou're shining in the night; 
N-everending gleam makes space a dancing light.

H-igh above the clouds, 
O-ver the midnight moon; 
L-ike a star in the sky, 
L-ooking so gregariously boon.
O-ne of...

Happiness:

Anticipates altruism
Bears burdens
Considers carefully
Delegates diligently 
Embraces excellence
Forgives feverishly
Grows gregariously
Hopes happily
Inquires intelligently
Joins joyfully
Kneels knowingly
Lives lusciously
Maintains masterfully
Nurtures naturally
Overcomes obediently
Preens passions 
Qualifies quests
Receives righteously   
Speaks softly
Transforms tirelessly
Understands ubiquitously 
Values valor
Waits wisely
Xs-out xenophobia
Yields youthfulness
Zigzags zealously

Riverside, the house
had long windows,
the sort you step outside

My reflection from the outside,
and if I really stared
I could see into the rooms.

Chairs mainly,
with old Alzheimer people
waiting to die

Occasionally they would see me staring,
and would wave...

MY BLUE CHEESE IS BACON

Crispy, well-done with lettuce and tomato on toast
with mayonnaise or miracle whip, a touch to my lips,
but how my mind races when soggy tomato does coast
down my tongue with wobbly, undercooked...
