Scratch-n-Sniff
by Michael R. Burch
The world’s first antinatalist limerick?

Angels In the Moonlight
He was my friend and he lay dying
All alone, just me and him
But I knew no one could help him now
Because life's thread was getting thin
I'd built a campfire out of deadwood
Wrapped him in his...

Don'T Call Me No Cowboy
The little boy threw down his hat
And marched right from the room—
The TV on with nightly news
Of murder, muggings and doom.
The grandpa called out to the hall,
“What’s the matter lil’ pard?
Come back in here and...

In this complex box of world,
compact box of world,
where all are jumbled – fumbled,
where the mightier reign their voice,
others adore their choice,

I'm on my way to a different day
A day of long ago.
Where the buffalo roam
And the long horns groan
As down the trail they go.

Compadre
We’ve shared the trail, kicked up some dust,
An’ stood a storm or two.
We’ve rode the plains, the wide frontier,
The easy trails were few.

To ever thing I’ve said,
An’ as a...

Comparing thoughts about the way things are nowadays.
Spending the afternoon guzzling beer at the local saloon,
Chawing terbaccy aiming near misses at the brass spitoon!
"Well, they is even...

Seven years old, without sin—
My yeller dog was my pal—

The good things just do not...

I tried to hide it from my mom,
I did not want her mad at Dad;
But I’d sneak his Wild West Weekly
On every single chance I had.

Life On the Ranch
When the mortgage comes due
And you ain’t got a dime
And the new calf turns blue
As you’re wipin’ ‘way slime…
And the pond’s all dried up
From this dang five-year drought,
And your dog had twelve pups
While your wife’s...

Claude's Lines
Claude were you tired that night
Of the slashes from life you’d born
Or the effort it took
And the ruts you’d worn
Did you sigh and quietly go away
Or groan and curse and fight to stay
It doesn’t matter...
