*** How Lady Learned at Last ***

For decades, Lady daydreamed, wanting a full closet,
A packed, complete fashionable style:
Shoes to hats, to crown the French Bob
Of shinny, brunnette tresses above her hazel eyes.

There’d be gauzy blouses...

Milo and Me- Born well-timed fore-teen mouths from Me.
In an unknown town, in New York somewhere north of Albany.
Known to the Native American-as Wings Falls-
In their time-so it seemed.
Known as Milo to only a few--but...

A little more than 66 miles from Albany.

riding double on his trusty horse.
The word raced quickly through the town,
a posse was formed, as a matter of course.
So Burke pushed his mount, more and more.
They couldn’t...

Des had been my neighbour now for nigh on close to twenty years,
And from a humble retiree back then, old age so quickly nears.
His wife passed away ten years ago, so Des lived on his...

The sun sank into rusty chains
Ancient Mesopotamian constellations begin to spin
Shadows in the bushes
Sidewalks walking from the back
Cetoniinae trapped in glass
Your gaze runs through the sky
yes, like Schelling's rose
Tesla cars crossing the border
The dust of...

One day, Myopic Milo; went slithering across the street; and met with some misfortune; as a car, he tried to greet.

It really sent him flying; that half-blind, water snake; so to a chiropractor; a visit...

Standing in front of this enormous masterpiece,
Seeing his life story as the layers release.

I wasn’t warned to expect a wonder so rare.
I guess I expected a melting clock here or there.

Venus di Milo inspired his...

I awaken to an infernal buzz
Sore mouth, dry lips and teeth filled with fuzz
It’s not the noise that causes harm
But more the sudden awakening caused by the alarm

Gingerly I walk outside
My friends caffeine and nicotine...

Magnetic attraction, enchanting dream of a lifetime -
	majestic pyramid attracts my eye, 
	mystique draws me in
	
O, your architecture! Pavilions, colonnades; art enclosing art,
	every square inch deliberately designed,
	ceilings pour forth scintillating splendor
	
Antiquities from Rome, Egypt, the...

The very thought of that place, brings a chill to my bones.
Walking up and down...

You wait
I will gain weight
You will stand at the gate 
Watching my gait

You might die 
After seeing my dye 
Gaining me back is no hope 
Even if you seek help from a pope

Venus de Milo gave up the banjo
She left the band with the Invisible Man
Never had a leg to stand on, stand on
Saw Galileo hanging with J-Lo
Singing "Life On Mars" out under the stars
Lead guitar was...

Summer on the Farm
As Related By Britches
By:Tom Wright
8/7/2006

Britches gets up early
To greet the breaking of dawn,
A stretch, a scratch,
And if sleepy, a yawn;

Old Elsie the cow
Anxiously awaits his pull,
He hopes when they’re done
His buckets near...

A smile cast on winters day reveals warmer songs

If I shave with Occam’s razor
I will only grow a gross beard;
And all my scientific friends
Will think that I am truly weird.

If I want a small feline pet,
Should I adopt Schrodinger’s cat?
Will its fur be...
