Premium Member Big Bad Joe, Cowboy Husband

Every morning at a quarter to six, I can hear my he him trotting down the hallway to the bed where I lay, shriveled up under my weighted blanket, so fat and un-tall.
There’s a part of me that should feel sorry for my little Cowboy husband Joe, but the other part is as angry as Sophie Dog, who snarls and snaps when she hears him in the hall.
“Time to get up!” he says in a sing-songy way, being a nice guy, who truly, only ever wanted to be a child, outside, who could laugh and play like a kid with honey bun food.
“Son of a mule’s *******,” I say, in the kindest cowboy-kind of way, knowing he’s going to feed Shark next, and he’d better tip toe as I am in that kind of I-HATE-EVERYBODY-KIND-of-Mood.

Big Joe.
Big Joe.
Big Bad Joe.

“I saw that the baby opossum on the porch was out of food again, so I banged on the window, and he ran off with that little hop-skip he has,” Joe babbles on. “After he left, I took some cat food out. He’s eating it now.” Joe is wearing his best hat, and boots, but I don’t give them no mind.
Son of a horse’s behind, does he always have to yap like a coy dog?  I think as I try to get a growling Sophie dog’s butt off of the covers I’m trying to put back over my head, so I can have some peace and QUIET; “Get OUT OF HERE!” I yell, I’m 11 minutes behind!”
Big Joe.
Big Joe.
Big Bad Joe.
Sophie and I get woked up three more times by him, and we chase him out each time, baring our teeth. It reminds me of my early days with my mother who used to be just this damned happy and annoying in the morning. She used to give us pancake rolls. Which means she used to jump on our bed and roll on us making us extra angry before we left for school.
The last time, the final time, the I mean it this time, he brings me my usual Chuck Wagon Caren is hungry as a giant Stegosaurus on speed breakfast.  Five pounds of hash-browns, a three egg omelet with bacon, and it damn well better be the exact temp I like, he has learned the hard way Sophie and I are
Very particular about the temp of our bacon. He takes off his 10 gallon hat, sitting it on the bed, and says “anything else, my ladies?” Before we can speak, he magically produces my jalapeno peppers which we dump lavishly over our hash-browns.  Yes, he is the perfect cowboy for this fool.
Big Joe.
Big Joe.

The Narrow Squeak Show Chapter 2

THE NARROW SQUEAK SHOW CHAPTER 2 

So now,here I am 
Wham! 
That was a close shave! 
Whew! 
No way to behave! 
Damn tanks! 
I am all alone 
Is this a war zone? 

I have  my lucky charm........... 
I will not come to any harm 
The bullet that dropped at my feet 
Death? 
We can never meet! 

Now, I am thinking 
The ship sinking 
Me, drinking 
What a week! 
Absolutely stinking! 

Still, I am here 
Editing The Narrow Squeak files 
I have no fear 
I have a bullet charm 
So I will come to no harm........ 
says I,dropping a donation to St Giles! 

Now, I am thinking 
It has kept me awake 
That damn earthquake! 
Spoiled my train of thought 
(Not the train,did I fall or was I pushed?) 
That was close 
I was nearly caught! 

Hey ho! 
These strange events........ 
Really make me tense 
But one must overcome 
The shattering blow 
That leaves you numb 

I was walking......... 
Just the other day 
I have given up public transport 
It doesnt pay! 

I tripped and nearly fell 
The gap in the pavement,miles wide 
but with a hop ,skip and jump 
I made it to the otherside, 
with scarcely a bump 

Whew! 
What a week! 
I havent found 
What I am supposed to seek 
May be it is underground? 
Better take a peek! 

I returned to the canyon in the pavement 
Fought back the urge to jump 
I climbed down instead 
What a dump! 
I didn't at all feel any dread 

I clutched my narrow squeak book 
I daren't look 
All this rubble! 
Could I be in trouble? 

Now, I am thinking............. 
What if I am better off dead? 
Well ,I am deep underground 
The foul air keeps me coughing 
The canyon in the pavement............. 
My final coffin? 

What goes down..... 
Must come up 
I justify this, 
as the boiling lava 
gives an evil hiss! 

I start to climb quite fast.......... 
chapter two.......... 
Looking to be my last! 
I have my bullet charm 
Damn! 
The name only has one "T" 
I have two! 
This feels me with alarm! 

The lava is quite hot now........ 
What do I do now? 
My bullet charm........... 
is now flawed 
How the temperature soared 

I made it to the top 
The lava narrowly missed me! 
Not one drop! 
I can complete chapter three!

Perks At Highland Manor

I, (and the missus)
     pleased as punch residing
     at this Schwenksville, Pennsylvania locale,
     (since july first tooth house

     sand eighteen), marks one year
and better with (on site
     service) wash and wear,
but most irrefutable attraction

     comprises rental assistance,
     when upon the merry month of May
     first, the dollar figure outlay
     to occupy a single bedroom

     (at this low cost
     housing facility) didst veer
dramatically downward
     from an initial charge,

     sans five hundred, and seventy two unswear
     able legal tenderloin monies,
     per twelfth of Gregorian Calendar,
     when aye didst tear

away the page signaling June,
     thine checking account reduced sheer
     lee no misprint (to win unbelievably
     rosy, piddly, and giddy)

     one hundred and seventy
     seven buck a roos,
yet lesser benefits appended, asper
     this bucolic, diatonic,

     and harmonic rear
opportunity to espy
     white tailed non *****
yule less doe ting mama

     belonging to Cervidae family app pear
ring to take shelter in a narrow
     (sunset) strip somewhat near
enough from mine

     inside perch oblivious
     to this mad capped (Alfred E. Neuman),
who whiz stumping for elections midyear
essentially to reinstate

     "FAKE" King Crimson Lear
on the throne,
     who strongly objects to killdeer
for eats or sport,

     and silences those hood jeer
his reverence toward gentle creatures
     including near extinct albino blushing zebra,
     hooves warp and weave interlinear

within said (postage size
     token) plot here ~ 1+ hectare
secluded upon a tract
     off the beaten commercial

     domain and glare
with suburban sprawl,
     a hop, skip and jump fair
lee quickly disappearing

     "in the name of progress"
though vanishing wild
     life eyes find endear
ring, though thine psyche

     wracked with despair
no matter ample (spacious
     free) parking, a clear
bonus as well un

     limited water usage
and to top off the list donated
up for grabs non-sellable (stales) breads,
     cakes, fruits, vegetables
     about twice a week doth appear.

HOW CAN I PRETEND: PART 2

HOW CAN I PRETEND ? 
PART 2

Pretence is for those who 
round a corner with I did
read that book, she smiles
with her eyes, then escape 
to humour minds or waves  
agonising over shame 
or secrecy or stealth 
calculating cunning 
strategies for recognition 
such nouns or adjectives 
are human language  
defining egoic grids
instead I marry 
transparency with an 
undisputed path of trauma
truth leaving pretence to 
collect lipstick, mascara 
house-frames whilst I 
hop skip my naked soul

Neither thunderstorms 
dragons, poverty, fungus 
will scare this soul 
basking in authenticity 
whose fireflies danced 
at a polished staircase 
foyer warning of faded 
fragments, smashed 
Cinderella shoes

No pretending about 
tiptoeing across shattered 
glass witnessing that 
even a Coelacanth 
would not swim towards 
a cubic zirconia cloned 
as diamond landing 
on ocean floor in a 
Seapoint walk clothed 
in bitter tears
I’m too smart for
pretence !

How can I pretend having 
Rebirthed through a Heart 
leaving ego standing naked   
at Lions Gate or some other
portal I do not yet perceive 
ready to take instruction
as previously I did from 
my Maker with a Yes !
I will ! 
Anything You say 
as You bliss me out 
slash me with pointed 
Flames clearing this 
muck down my legs
I acceded to navigate 

What do they know about 
tearing torture to wear 
my colours as owl crown
No torture at all !
but a willingness to 
submit to conscious 
suffering like bee to 
pollen whispering 
Come here, my Love 
knowing how to bind 
honey anyway but loose
My mottled magical 
mystical Mary make 
muffins in her median 
muscles whilst meditating 
dare not pretend that
laundry becoming dung  
heaps, rust festering 
around auto-immune
vibrations do not 
matter as threadbare
tyres tell their lies
looping lice

Pretence lies coffined
Cold

Who Am I, Do You See Me?

WHO AM I?

It’s been quite

Some time

Since someone

Noticed

Do you see me?

I am Here

My beautiful

Warm

Genuine smile

Smiling at

The world

Beside me

Don’t you

See my

Chiseled calves

And voluptuous

Thighs

A mile high

I may be over

Forty

But my Bosom

Swings

And Skips

To a

Funky beat

With a tip-toe

Skip, Hop & dance

That only I know

My eyes

Liquid blue

Eyes stare

At magic

In the

Air

My skin

Fair

Freckled

With

An Irish

Pigment

From my

Grandmother’s

Lair

My limbs

Covered from

Head to toe

With Wisps

Of Blonde hair

From my

Mother’s

Hair

Like my

Italian

And French

Forefather’s

My heart

Pumps

By Wine

My Blood

And

Endless

Passion for

Tradition

My fingertips

Reminiscent of

God’s great earth

The Goddess

Nature

Aglow

Laced with

Permanent

Calluses

From my

Writing pen

A kaleidoscope

Into my

Soul within

My voice

An accent

Slung with

Kindness

Compassion

And love

So if you

See me

Dancing

Down the

Street

On just

An ordinary

Day

Than

Stop to

Smell the

Roses

May the

Aroma

Sweet

And lulling

Pass your

Way

Making

Your day

Do a little

Hop, skip & jump

And feel

Freedom

In your

Steps

Make sure

To Smile

My way

Don’t forget

For I am

Here

Watching

Dancing

Waiting

For someone

To see me

The Day After Christmas

'Twas the day after Christmas and all through the house, 
The toys were all broken...the kids started to grouse.
And Momma in her apron, and I in my shorts, 
Were just cleaning up after making strawberry tortes.
When out in the hall there came such a THUMP,
We both ran from the kitchen...with a hop, skip, and jump.
Away to the hallway we ran like the wind,
Only to see something was wrong involving our twins.
The top of the tree and its base were askew,
And gave us the feeling...something abnormal was abrew.
When out from below there came such a yell,
My wife and I...both backward we fell.
There, on the floor, with the tree on his head,
Sat our little son screaming...the one we'd named Fred.
"Oh Mommy, Oh Daddy, Jimmy did it to me,
I was playing so nicely...when he pulled the tree down on me!"
Jimmy stood there in silence just looking at the pile,
Then his little eyes flashed...and his face broke into a smile.
We stood looking at Fred, the tree, and little Jimmy too,
Then broke into laughter...as we took in the view.
We picked up the tree, you could see Fred's reddening face,
As things were put back...all in their proper place.
Jimmy ran up the stairs without be told,
"I know, I know...you don't have to scold.
I'll go to my room into my TIME OUT place,
Just tell me for how long...So I can keep this grin on my face."

Honey Boo Boo Where Are You

I live in North East Florida 
That's just a hop, skip, and a jump
From the land known as Georgia
Where "Honey Boo Boo" once held court with her mom

If'n you never knew "Honey Boo Boo"
You're in for a treat or more than one
She was a multi car train wreak
That you couldn't turn your bugged eyes away from

First let me explain the state of Georgia
So this family ya'll will understand
Not long ago they re-dirted both paved roads
Said progress was getting way out of hand

So with that said and done son 
With formalities out of the way
Lets turn our attention back to our star attraction
And see what all she had to say

Her fame started out on Toddlers & Tiaras 
Reality shows we all seem to love
From The Crazed Housewives to The Kardashion's
America can not get enough

And since it's on T.V. it's gotta be true
Did you ever try her drink sensation
Of Red Bull and Mountain Dew, she liked to call "Go Go Juice"
It'll put hair on your derriere for extra pad in relaxation 

And who wouldn't want to see a six year old
With that kind of Hellacious Buzz
What went through my mind when I looked at it was
Ahhh, Redneck Motherly Love

So now do you redneckonize her
Where all I just said is quite true
A dolla used to make her holla!
I sure miss "Honey Boo Boo" on the Boob Tube
As I'm sure all of you do too...
