“Die Another Day”


“Your mission, should you so deem it,
Is to infiltrate ALL Fluff Clusters in K.A.O.S. Headquarters
And bloody well steam it!”


“The Place is a hazardous mess of a trap
Over run with Double Agents, ulterior motives

when not to emerge, from behind the hungry black rock of 
another dying hand, hopelessly clutching the mysteries of 
another sit-down, in the serene...

Lighting the candles and pouring the lotions.
Switching off TV’s and shelving resentments,
Checking on children asleep in the darkness,
Creeping   up hallways   like teenage lovers.
Stairs and hopes creaking...

who people called horrid, a witch and a hag
And 'though she was ugly and danced 'mid moonbeams
all was not quite as it might've then seemed

Old-fashioned black clothing...

Summertime is finally fleeting
and oddly, though, I am not sad.
Yes, the fields will soon be emptied
of pastel-colored flowers and buzzing bees
and wading knee-deep in tall, wild grass
as the sun takes its time in setting,
late into...

To start with I part it and sweep each side back
Tucked over each ear is this guy’s hairstyle hack
Brynner and Willis and Johnson are cool
But I keep my hair on… I’m nobody’s fool

Ode To Pretty Cat

My cat has female inclinations when it purrs
It does not speak in English using words
But has a perfect soul
Pretty Cat gets by, with its billowy fur

Prefers not fighting and takes flight

It is below us in springs, ponds, and oceans, above us in the air we breathe and...

Never caused harm or concern.

This is the Cannabis song,
they've turned something good. 
made is seem wrong,

It's illegal why?

with the hope of later expensive lotions of comfort.
Hard work pays but luck issues the slips
toiling and moiling for the skin to keep soiling.

Every shot towards goal hits the...

Sultry starlets on the screen
For lasting beauty- use Maybelline
For winning smiles-try new Dentyne.

“So, call right now, the call is free.”

My hands are elephant hide.
I mean old, weathered, rough, 
a shady glen of crevices with ink stain valleys.

They sleep off bumps and bruises from
me moving too fast, as...

Christ’s high rank, squarely behind it
In man’s life, The Brightest Candle Lit,
Though Bank Robbers celebrate their heist,
Nothing wanting from Carpenter Christ.

And anticipation of Better Days,
Straight from Yesterday’s Frays,
That had knocked...

adapting like others
to our normal new life

a few days, no problem
a week, it's a breeze
but, nobody said

at first it was easy
cleaning, watching...

Can be adjusted to create
Just how you want to
Develop your own shape

First of all moisturize
Every part of your skin
Before getting it wet or in the sun
Especially if stretching or tightening

My sundress hangs there limply,
needing me to fill it out.
The rains have been relentless
putting all sunshine to rout.
The ides of March have come and gone
without a sign of spring.
My raincoat and umbrella are

When I was just a nipper
My Dad used to take me to the barbers
The Barber would put a board across the chair
so I was higher
and he could cut my hair.

It struck me

Heard clear emerging from the tunnels
Under the boardwalks promenade shadows 
Loud and clear come good humor men in white
Ridiculous in their black shoes...
