or buried underground.

Whereby reincarnation will eventually...
mitigate grief...

I stand naked wrapped only in the truth
you vile, loathsome reptile.
My contempt of you is limitless

ASSUMPTION, PRESUMPTION , GUMPTION

I don’t enjoy been on a plane,
I find it scary and a tad mundane,
But last time I flew,

So beautiful is my sweet girl
that she can’t even see.

She thinks her hair is mousy brown.

My killer screenplay for a killer film.
The hunt for a serial killer
By glamorous profilers, nothing grubby
Or exploitive. Some partial nudity,

Enigmatic hero....

For any event, to maintain decorum

The bathroom floor’s coldness 
comforts in light of the surrounding chill.

The crackled ceiling above
possesses a soft spot for a spider
Just like in the children’s song.

Still these seemingly harmless
Arachnoids precede
Future generations that 
one day will farm...

Let's make sure there is no vice
Every time I roll the dice

Why the Cat Purrs

There once was a Persian Pussycat
Who always loved to pounce
He relished skittering, squeaking mice
That he munched on by the ounce
