Long Natty Poems

I posit picayune propensities prevail among pesky management

Most favored renter status imposed on us
i.e. meaning myself;
(one tarnished prince of Highland Manor)
and the missus, his princess consort
who must abide by rigorous writ
of tidiness, whereby
every flat surface...

On the corner of Short con and Long play
sits the neighborhood ponies man
in his pickup van,
waiting to take parlay list deliveries
Feeling leisurely ... not wanting to bounce
on a Cadillac roll,
Trickbaby is out on a stroll
He's...

Tower, buzz and scurry
Oh great resilient city
Ahoy!
Alive.  Scramble bustle earth's
 ethnicities
On lurid quests--
A pendulum of tantric turmoil and
Blessed harmony

Quixotic city--brash,
Sangfroid merotomized and
Chrematistic--metro nonpareil.

See a myriad melange of
Tortured splenetic
Souls and great spirits
Noble and soothfast

Great city,...

Natty gale appeared with precious tunes
Great tunes the world have never heard
He looked for a vessel all over the world
But couldn’t fine one
Oh! He wondered how music could live forever
Suddenly, august 29, 1958 natty gale...

JERLENE

Jerlene, lovely  and  beautiful young lady
Your tantalizing eyes enthralls a lonesome heart
Your smile captivates a feeble heart
Allures and fascinates a lonely life.

Every man is  found mesmerized 
By your God-given angelic beauty divine

Caren Krutsinger brought back memories to me,
Re her poem,
Do not give Missy Mob Salami.

On his head,

The clumsy beauties come knitted to the yard,
Slithering on the dewy glassy grass,
As usual.
Two mongooses in natty brown coats
Are looking for the fare scrap, if any thrown out.
The dawn window creaks as it opens its...

Remembering the glory days of golden youth
When love and laughter ruled the day,
Barmy frolicking was ever the gospel truth.

And every boy was a neighborhood sleuth
With nary a moment to be whiled away,
Remembering the glory days...

Last evening there was a sense of restlessness,
I wasn’t able to grasp why this abjectness;
The sun was slowly dying in a goodbye to a father,
The pain once again manifested my grief to gather;
I wish he...

Sung to This Old Man
	
This old frugal
He bought one
Silver dollar
Just for fun

With a thick stacked, natty pack
Filled with silver eagles
He’ll beat inflation
And live regal

This old frugal
He bought two
U.S. Gold Eagles
That won’t devalue

With a thick stacked,...

If a bad fatty patty had Hattie,
That fatty patty would’ve made Hattie batty;
But, Hattie had a rad fatty patty!
The fad-clad Hattie is also a caddy.
“And gladly,” chatted Hattie, “I take...

Natty disasters sitting in boneyard wing
Hidden rolling shadows re-occurring
Tumbles the rain that rapture bring 
All sodden on Golgotha fog·ging

Utterly murky shadows about 
Dank teeth beyond the tomb square
The blindness of the swollen moon thereabout
Lightning strike,...

On rows of chairs
heads bark orders at invisible underlings,
sharp suited mid-level execs
power into conference calls.

The more gleaming the sky-palace
the skuzzier I feel,
the duller the yellow
of my crumpled paperback.

Air-miles accrued,
I bumped myself up to business class.
