Long Off season Poems

Once pawn a time...

About four plus weeks after
frazzling fiasco from friggin fraudsters
white knight still mourns swindled money
Lynne Costello Senior Civil Investigator
(assistant to Philadelphia attorney general)
unable to recoup forfeited funds.

While holed up in castle keep,
(albeit fetchodit...

Science can’t save you, neither can religion,
at least Popper and Niebuhr, philosophers and poets,
are entertainers, which is why actors and athletes
are paid so much. Thanks for the summaries.

OK, so i feel like this could be helpful to many people out there today.  I want others to
understand that living in a good matter can change their entire life.  When i was...

Socked and winded unconscious checking account...
(alternatively named last poetic endeavor for 2019
issuing out cerebral petrified complex edifice fount
wobbling as hood winking ornament mount).

Speedily rushed to intensive care unit

Misfit, Miss Feet (A literary translation)
Gossipmonger rumors around!
A wedding ensuing, Mary go-round!
May I have a speaker call?
Surmising the news to scroll? 
Not bad, not bad at all, there!
In utter black, a chilling suction, May..or!
And the...

We have sprinted on our paws
from silver fields into the ashen corridors
of Office-Max
How early we set our alarms, how grown up,
who don the coats of men,
despite the heat,
who drive on four wheels down Park Avenue

Deprived of life, treeless Earth weep There is no longer Earth. 
Rivers, forests, and dying nature; how are we going to save Earth.
And Sudsy waters are too heavily salty to drink by any birth.
Is hapless...

Clouds thunder, roar aloud when I arrive, 
Pray, who if not me, life should love by heart? 
If too early should I choose to depart, 
Who’s missed more? Thanks to me Earth’s all alive.

Last year I wrote of a Red Sox team
The fans did not exactly scream
They could not swing, field or hit
Last place was theirs, that was it.

But John Henry said  ENOUGH  of that

There is in the house a hullabaloo
Furore, a fuss, commotion, ado
The in-laws will soon
Return from the moon
Be staying with us, a month, maybe two!

Short notice, their note arrived in the mail
A bolt from the blue,...

Is there any place as lonely
As a Lake Huron resort town
In the off-season of mid-November?
Sign outside the church reads	THANK YOU!

Its steeple a record player needle
Set to the warped sky
Barry Manilow ballads
Hobbling from an A.M. station...

They were dubbed as being the greatest than ever before

Expectations were high even though they hadn’t begun to score

Huge salaries and talent some say they would be the best

But they couldn’t play together as a...

We of the upper persuasion
resent the insipid invasion
of the lessers you see who lack pedigree
who properly are nothing like me.

My people have always been seen
where miscreants never have been
playing polo the equestrian way
or golfing where...

she's more
angora since
she sheared off
her locks but since
i've lost the key and so
certain doors must remain
closed as if off season for reasons
that only monthly disagree so i seem

Off Season Santa

Cajun Santa won’t ever be seen

Buying Christmas candy in New Orleans

He has a whole group of Elves back in the swamp

Making Cajun candy for the kids to chomp

Summer time Santa in his cutoff...

Off Season in Gallipoli

		April’s bus from Lecce unloads
		at the fabled fish market. It’s closed.
		The only hint of June’s full fare
		is one slight stall. No one lunching there.
		The streets are open; we stroll at will
		by a...

If you ever need a reason
To go someplace out of season,
I’ll supply a few and you can have your pick.
Traffic’s almost non-existent
But if you are still resistant,
Here’s another reason that might do the trick.

Crowds are...

That climate change
Is affecting the world
There are more hurricanes
And off season tornados

Frozen ice caps are melting
Does anybody care
That it’s causing the
Sea levels to rise out of control
Creating large amounts of flooding

It’s separating our government
Causing hasty...

Last season that ended in October
is now past, and something to remember.
The players are called the “boys of summer”
Here they reassemble in February’s winter.
Some of them report to training in Florida.
The others are on the...

In Atlantic City, something that is great
is getting a hotel room at an off-season rate.
November through March are the months that are slow.
Take advantage of cheaper prices.   That’s the time to go.

My Many Dreams

While writing a poem will often pause
Wondering if there is a Santa Claus
Who on sleigh rides through the air
Would be quite cold if body was bare.

So first find clothes and put them on

Our ancient hermit leaves 
      his mountain cave,

Off-season training
    running, lifting weights 
  Grueling workouts
    we loved to hate

  Pre-season practices
    10 pushups per lay-up missed
  Wind sprints brought on...
