Long Knucklehead Poems

(Sung to the tune of Gilbert and Sullivan’s "The Duke of Plaza Toro," from The Gondoliers)

 An invitation from Clark.

You might say they were.
You could even say they
Should have been.
What you won't say is it
wasn't sporting or something
You'll soon forget.

Six cards, six trophies
 One knucklehead

Morning funeral 
He was eighty-six
Ready to go, angry about everything.
Tired of being here, irritated he cannot drive any more
Thrilled to go, probably driving a race car in heaven

big ideas filled his head...
my advice was always useless,
see him now in his madness!

flashing hundred dollars bills as fools, 
and spending money on silly things,

It’s that anyway you spin the arrow,
Whatever goal or mission or path you undertake,

ha-ha, my brother,
joined
the club,

with a tilted back,
and wheelies
popped,
from a
mo-bile chair.*

ha-ha’s
looking for-
the morning news,
his glasses,
a snooze…

a giant donut
to eat,
to sit upon-
so sweet.

ha-ha  rides
his giant lab
to
the toilet seat.

ha-ha
laughs last
at
me-

his sister joined
this club
initially.

he laughs!

hee hee…

A Nook and a Storybook



His leg was broke and his pride hurt
As he began to read.
That knucklehead he called his hoss
Had stumbled at full speed.

"Read a good book", the doc had said,
"The healin' takes awhile.

Thunder booms at three a.m.,
Reverberations shake the house.
Lightning strikes with blinding flash,
While snores come from my sleeping spouse.

The roar of rain pelting the roof,
Wind gusts beat against windowpanes.
Lying awake with pounding heart,
Praying I don't hear...

He won't take the meds, and knows that he'll die
If he misses those pills at the wrong time
Child of an irresistible force stubborn to a fault
Grew up to be the immovable object

Lord, I've come a long ways today
Got further yet to go
I know You're ridin' with me now
Somehow I know it's so

I like to think I see Your face 
In every water hole
An' feel Your arms...
