She Cries Daughter's Absence

my worst fears realized
my daughter gone missing
my one and only
precious hope in life
it's beyond surreal
it's being torn over and over,
by those black bears running down river
ripping me apart time and time
if only...

Talk is Cheap - Battle Rap

Yo, Ima outcheek you… gimme that mic,
I’m lethal, a viper ready to strike;
and it ain’t gonna be pretty – not ladylike.
Just gotta tell you straight up like it is…
Dude, you...

When the wolf applied nicely
If he could come in,
The pigs replied thricely he shouldn't.
Then they scratched at the hairs
On their chinny chin chins,
And tightly bolted the door so he wouldn't.

But wolves, when out shopping,
Are not...

The Lonely Walk to Madness

my heart is not a toy
that you can wind up and toss aside
I cry red tears of blood
because you've just ripped out my insides
cut my wounds open and you will find
black...

My, oh my ...
sweet apple pie!
Patriotic American cheese is turning sour Kraut commie
Democracy is Wisconsin curdling ... penicillin shot
needed between the ailing ballot box,
sho’ ain’t Louisiana Purchase forthcoming

Lady Liberty is bowing...

This little piggy never came through 
I come in for an interview, 
Everything is pleasing,
Without explanation you leave the table.
And start to make a pizza?
I'm leaving you right now..
As I get in my car,
I see...

Mr. Wiggles the stuffed “punk pig” , he wasn’t always this way. Before the safety pins in his little nose and “Dead Kennedy’s” patch on his soft, fuzzy, pink back, he was a loving, clean,...

Nothing like a rousing game of spin the dolls leg
on a humid summer night to bring a little bit
of joy into an otherwise uneventful evening.
  The game piece acquired from one of the

Little piggies in a hurry,
gotta run and catch that muddy dollar
As me rat race cheese-off,
peddling asphalt fumes of a 401k Harley

Punch-the-clock tired worker bees
drone alone in a homely cubicle
Fraidy kitty cats don’t snatch the keys,
‘cause...

a wild temper got her thrown out of school
a wild temper got her taken into custody
a wild temper made her stand in front of the judge

It's all in the telling...
A story, a truth, a lie, a fortune....
Maybe it's not what is said but in HOW....
We cling to the possible, ignoring how improbable....
I suppose it's how we get by what gets...

Pitter-Patter on my Heart

Do not believe that your size in any way
diminishes the depth of my affection for you.
Some may say you are mere eating-pooping machines
but ever since you traipsed into my life a year...

Naked to Nurture.  Naked, to Nurture.



Why not naked into woods?
We yank up gumboots.
Enshroud our piggies in wicking and itching sockbags.
Hoping to holdfast against the forfeiture of bought heat.

The city slickers in their shiny slickers
clasp...

Mary had a little lamb

The birth was quite a sensation

It should go down in the history books

She needed a lot of sedation

Pinocchio had a very long nose

It grew when telling a lie

Geppetto couldn't keep it...

dance …

dance, the dragon
I watch intently, as if it taunts me
your perfect calf, its tattooed home
gams surround you on the
dance floor like a forest of velvet flesh
hopping, darting, spinning …
the small hummingbird on your
other ankle...

Twelve steaming appetizers, artistically set.
Seven sea morsels in a bird's nest net.
Great pies of meat cooked in butter and sweat.
Puddings and pastries and a heart-thumping bet:
That you'll eat to live in and live to eat...

There are piggies of The Woods,
there are piggies of The Sea.
Not all piggies are equal;
this is clear to me.

There are piggies who sing -
and they make a lot of noise.
There are piggies - stuffed animals;
it's...

The pigs want a piece of this action
No way are they going to oink this alone
They don't know  how but they're going to make it happen
The only draw back is the lack of thumbs

dubbed trash by the many &
revered by the few,
sitting on the street curbs &
nesting on the steps
so if ya don’t like what you see

rub em’ till’ they bleed &
waiting on the piggies 
strolling...

I really look forward to brekkie each morning
It's my favourite meal of the day
Chickens, without doubt, are my favourite creatures
Laying eggs by the dozen without pay 

But I don't want 'em to think they're irreplaceable
