I've got a dish of killifish
I wish to eat that silly fish
Baked, or fried in peanut oil
Roasted, dried, or let to boil.

Take me to the Catfish Fry
Lead me to the China...

with buck-rabbit teeth? 
Carrying a ton of peanuts

Jack seldom ventured outside of his box,
comfortable although his body position was always squat,
feeling happy he sat inside eating bagels and lox,

Call it as it is!
Not mistaken.
Not uninformed –  
They just don't care! 
Death in record numbers
at our Southern Border;
Death in the streets
of large cities from 
Fentanyl...They just

And the fine historic homes.
There's been mention of both music
And parade within my poems.

For connections, even brief ones,
Are the gems that I'll...

She allowed no time for coquetry
Or Penelope-style...
