(alternately titled: impossible mission goes awry
probably mortal enemy cast spell binding jinx)

Both mental versus
physical tasks necessitate
laser sharp attentiveness
triggered within blinks
similarly on par when people toast
momentary instance utter silence

before more'n one
wine glass simultaneously clinks
cheering hurray, especially
if...

People continuing to show hate
As if they themselves are so great
While the planet continues to rotate

Boy you need a lot more than Colgate
You thought it did, but it carried no weight
Don't make me, or I'll...

alternately titled: incorrigible lottery dreamer
big plans to relocate self and spouse
to some tropical island paradise
by the dashboard light
(the above line credited
to musician named Meatloaf)
upon arrival of my steamer.

A fool's errand finds me emptying out billfold,

Pursuit for elusive prey
teases yours truly
into treacherous catacombs
dangerous mentally
challenging pitfalls,

sets small hairs of back
on camp creeks edge
of night, where dark shadows
evoke outer limits
of twilight zone

prompting me constantly questioning
purposefulness, qua hair raising pursuit
embarking these modern roman...

America
Well you should have seen turkey Sal
She fills herself with packs of Pall Mall
And not to forget about Coonskin-Cap Jack
Always a-travelling with a riffle on his back
The greatest thing a man can see
Is the vast...

She enclosed a stormy heart and a summer soul
craving her way through the  darkest enclaves
strolling her way through her doubtful fogs
leaving them behind, but did  she know?

This is a wild goose chase,a wild...

Once upon a time, in a land of make-believe,
there lived a magical calendar if you choose to believe.
It hung on the wall, sparkling with a golden hue,
with the power to predict what the future can’t...

Twinkle, twinkle little star
The Star of Bethlehem--that's what you are!
Shepherds watching their sheep in the field
Saw angels on high announcing Christ's birth
The Messiah, Our Saviour--God's Only Begotten Son
So they followed The Star to worship The...

Still traveling through space
It's not falling into place
Tripped over my shoelace
Wound up with a bruised face
I'm starting to lose faith
People staying missing or found in a suitcase
Now we got another new case
Across more than a...

Finding acquaintance with women
has put me on a wild-goose chase,
making my mind so water-logged
with gross and unbearable lack of confidence.
Your presence has cancelled these memories
and caused me into an acute Amnesia,
remarkably stimulating me
to attempt an...

I know I've been tardy
Let my mom know, I'm sorry
Like 6 dogs said in "flossing"

Curiosity perhaps killed many a cat
For a cat it is an inquisitive brat

All life poor thing it shall rummage through trash
Spring on the dinner table and the diner might bash!

Deliverance from mishaps..
From chaos..
Deliverance from misery..
Pain and suffering..
Cannot breathe..
Had drowned in sorrow..
Submerged so deep in murky dark waters..
Dull grey color surrounds..
Somber moments and reflections..

My fearful self exposed
At the surface it had invaded..
Invasions constant..
Uninvited guest ..
Teeth...

If we are going to succeed, one can never quit
There will always be some rocks in the road
Some are in front of us, some we never...

Typical that they have doubts
It's often dragged out
All this crap being bragged about

Moving over the speed of eight knots
At a great cost
I had to take shots
In order to make lots
Otherwise just stuck in the same...

THE WILD GOOSE CHASE*

I accidentally let one loose
did you see that thing vamoose?
It gave me the slip, did you see?
Now that thing is awfully free.

I walk on pins and needles, friend.
Trying to find, I twist...

I thought mirages appeared
only in the desert heat
but today right from
my very own car seat
I spotted several, one after another
upon the paved smooth street!
Each mirage vanishing
upon our nearing
the midst of the clearing
Each pool of water...

I persist in crediting....
That breastfeeding hatred and animosity
Could barely occasion war atrocity
Demolish houses and blameless lives reap
Petrify crestfallen minds and infants' poignant grief

That airplanes,tanks and other war toys
Could ravage,destroy and only thieve joys
Annihilate life and...

"The winds of change" a Briton warned
In his speech to South Africa,
Meaning that those who were scorned
Might soon rule the republica.

Many heard what he was saying
From the parliamentary podium
But most were probably thinking 
He had...

I accidentally let one loose
A ripe for roasting, fattened goose!
The ganders in Orwellian mode
Honked out the news in gaggled code.

Rash Farmer Giles, blood red with rage
Would not be easy to assuage
And goslings flapped their wings...

Silence plants itself in the ruins where we all lay in despair and we separate into pairs
Screams of anguish and torment filter the atmosphere
The buildings are jacked-up, the automobiles are wrecked...and the tires have a...

Greed of all kinds, more for power n’ pelf
Drives men to play many a mischief
It enters our world like an invisible elf
Making one demean his esteemed self 

Greed is like an uncontrolled steed
It might gallop...
