Long Like the dickens Poems

Facilities that claim they recycle spew nothing but rubbish
as does yours truly,
whose ecological ethos
goes out the window
into the cold freezing iceland
prompting the following balderdash.

Upon the advent of an unexpected inspection
slated for tomorrow January 24th, 2025

April 5, 2023 – refracted reflections:

The following lines
haphazardly linkedin 
slap dash fashion

Chicanery grabbed lustfully repeatedly - yup!

While merrily bobbing along

which in truth measured
no more than a furlong
think envisioning myself top banana
analogous to bull headed Donkey Kong,
I felt on top of my game,
which...

Me and the missus live in decent
sturdy accommodations (formerly 
Schwenksville Elementary School
ofttimes referred to as prison,
and manager as the de facto warden),
albeit not so shabby nor chic low income 
quite modest (rather unmatchable cost wise)...

We (me and the missus)
live in a decent
accommodations low income
quite modest rent,
which facility lacks no shortage
of gossip mongers

with mail delivery the major event
many old people smelling of unguent
faux superman thumping chests nsync
with hooking thumbs around
suspenders...

I once had a cat, who was born in a barn
on a farm down the road, not far away
Hunting for mice, she was a tigress, unleashed 
She would put on a frantic display!

The longer we...

Mom wasn't able to go to church because she couldn't drive.
But she was a christian and loved God every day while she was alive.
She prayed to God each and every day.
Life has been rough since...

I love an old movie called "Some Like It Hot"
Two guys from a jazz band, had witnessed a plot!
Their lives might expire
from gangster's gunfire
They ran like the dickens without getting shot!

They're quick to leave town,...

If I could talk to God
What would I say
And how would I say it
Would I used a civil tongue
Or not utter a word
Would I say thank you for life's blessings
Or thank you for dying for...

I have never lost my zest for fun and laughter
Though long since I could jump a rope
Still enjoy the punchline remembered after

With her favorite things,
Like our couch, plus our bed
And pillows for our head.

Our carpet she muddled
With dirt and pee puddles,
The window she stared through
To bark at who knows who.

The hedge she...

Winter Came Early

Winter came early in a blast of flurries,
Cold like the dickens, but we were tingling,
Giddy with joy and eager to get going,
To kick up our heels in the newly fallen snow.

Mum bundled us...

When I was young,
I'd watch the late, late movie
sitting on the couch
getting all cozy,
one time the movie
was "Psycho" with

I didn't shower for a month,
then there was the one
called "Poltergeist,"
