Asked to let go.
She stared at the misshapen face,
Unshaven sandpapery skin 
Eyelids a tabula rasa
Fluttery sere skin
And we could see the humor blossoming in his...

Long ago, a long layover in Tokyo persuaded 
my flying partner and I to venture out to

others checking on elderly residents

My childhood of the 1960's,
all those years ago,
feels like a Saturday in my
journey nostalgic.
The Cowsill's song "Flower Girl,"
their purity of song, of smiles.
A daydream streams,
of running in a field wearing
my Keds,
a sea of daisies and...

Born in beautiful month of March
Between winter and spring
No snow was on the dry grass

And a new rainbow is on the arch.

Baby GG is indeed in the...

Malodorous tavern’s garret, the codger it accommodates, No more,
Fuzzled in brew, his fuzzy lady, her life she lives to abhor.

Randy colleen gape at her with aghast,
Talk around that she has “the dead hands of the...

Call me mad if you must
But please first hear me out
I just got back from the Cryogenics lab
And guess who's head I picked from the crowd

No, he's somewhere deep asleep in...

 those words will always...

Years P.M. (Pre-MacDonald's).
Woolworths.  Huge chain.  (Chains break with age.)
Elevated trains.  All over New York.

Marriage to alarmingly ballooning...

dramatically expanding spouse,
when adorning buttons 
pop off undersized blouse
which spurs yours truly to grouse,

Minnie was a moaner
She was always blue,
She had lost all her friends
Although she only had a few.

She moaned about the weather,
Especially when it rained.
She complained about her neighbours,
Who thought she was a pain?

Straight out of prison
Wondering what I've been missing
Right out of the gates I stuck out my thumb

I'm here for adventure
Well hop in then...

you learn a dog beat you to it.  Scary, hunched back cats, jangling skeletons,
Bobbing for apples, Rosy cheeks on your friends....

Imagine if at the drop of a hat,
You could become a cartoon
Sylvester the Cat, 
Chasing poor little Tweety Bird,
Perhaps it sounds absurd
Or be Fred Flintstone or his friend,
Let’s just pretend,
I was Barney or Fred’s wife...
