Long Jiminy Poems

I miss the old days where only you had my key
I miss the old times - running wild and free
I miss the old house and your pool and banana tree
I miss the days when it...

Joe Cocker: Born: 1944-05-20 - Died: 2014-12-22
A Woodstock discover
While singing a cover
With a Little Help from My Friends
And it was a shocker
To find that Joe Cocker
Gravelly voice finally ends

Plague of lies,
froggy croaks untrue
Swarm of flies
surround Capitol dungHills
Infectious hope buzz kill:
Leftover piles of shill legislative bills
that don’t do  do right

There should be no nose mystery,
stink of deceit fills the land

Brown lip locust wings
avarice...

they snorted and toiled
the sound of swords being hammered
the vanquished lay screaming
a tale of rank deception
with a maniac for the wind
and damnation in the boilers
trailing smoke and scrap metal
basically they peel your skin off
and noisily...

Love is not finding someone to live with,
of that there is no doubt!
Love is finding that someone
that you just can’t live without!

The real measure of your wealth,
which may sound kinda funny!
It’s how much you’d be...

Saturday here on the holodeck
Jiminy Cricket dances around
to keep baser instincts in check
theoretical ethical dilemmas abound.

The holodeck is like dream time
capable of desires and fantasies
events both horrifying and sublime
played out, life across the galaxies.

An actor...

All over the map
Can't stay on track
Still inside a shack
Drinking yak
While it's pitch black

Listening for the sound of a songbird
Not living long term
Still taking a wrong turn
Giving into strong urge

Honestly I'm barely mad
I'm just very...

Penelopina Teena had a birthday today,

Between twelve to four
Four hours of soundless
I hear people snores
Yet I’m so sleepless

Between twelve to four
It’s my productive hours
I’d draw, I’d write, I’d sing
Wide-awake until the next morning

A confession of silly artist
Burying my mind beneath...

One day it fell in the wrong hands and great...

In years gone by, folks didn’t like to say
God’s name to show  surprise or great dismay,
and so you would hear “Goodness,“ “Gol” and “Gee,“
and also euphemisms for J.C.

Jiminy Cricket! Doesn’t that sound nice?
Jeepers Creepers,...

Pinocchio don’t want
to be no real boy no more
Too many strings attached
He can’t do this or that

Everybody telling him
what to do, where to go
He can’t go with no flow
No more wild oats to...

I firmly believe that fairy tales should come with a disclaimer
some sort of warning label affixed to the very front page
right before the first paragraph or the opening scene in film versions
in big bold letters...

In Beijing, China, there’s a sport
That has a mighty pull.
It’s kind of like a bullfight,
But it doesn’t have a bull.

Competitors get special food
Like shrimp, red beans and liver.
For extra treats, a maggot’s
What the trainer will...

 As you travel this dangerous path.

Alicia Ruiz Ruiz,
at moments like these
I feel weak at the knees.
I've developed a wheeze,
and my poor head is aching.

Señorita Ruiz,
my tongue starts to seize,
my brain turns to cheese,
my confidence flees,
and I'm yours for the taking!

As a strawberry sun rises
Changing clouds to cobalt
The coolness of the morn delights
Before the sun's assault

Thyme was in the herb garden
Before the sun arose
He brushed against Rosemary
Came away morose

The sun changed to clear radiance
Illumination bright

Disney's Jiminy Cricket,
is my favorite guy, by far!
Since I first saw him singing,
"When you wish upon a star".

He was just a little Cricket.
But despite his tiny size,
Jiminy had a heart of gold
and was very smart...
