Puppy Love

Puppies roll on chocolate heavens floor
Covered in flour, powdered sugar for sure
Syrup spills over pans in the bakery shop
Aluminum is chewed with cinnamon buns

Hungry playful hounds prefer raw meat
The butcher shop is right next door
Comes in handy with nice steaks
A pinch of salt is all it takes

Alligators enter from the swamp
Break down the door without knocking
Not there to shop
No reservations for dining
How rude they are
Not looking for chocolate

The bakery is for special occasions
Butcher shops are lots more fun
Puppies are the flavor of the day
Covered in chocolate and cinnamon buns
That taste just right going down the alligator


Premium Member Patriarchal Prisoners

You rule this family with an iron fist
Thriving on having your ass kissed
Without constant adoration you become pissed
There are too many items on your wanted list.

Others see you as a benevolent man
Ruling the roost, doing the best you can
I'd prefer the fire to this frying pan
Let others dote over you I'm not a fan

You sit on a throne yet you're not a king
Promise us the world and keep everything
Wanting for not on each finger a ring
You feed us the lines you want us to sing

Stronger we are becoming day by day
By leaving we'll take your power away
I guess in the end we have the last say
You sh_t your own bed now you have to stay!



For Thomas Martin's patriarchy contest.

Mouser the Distillery Cat

. Mouser.

The distillery cat was flat on his back
He’d had too much to drink.
The silly moggy his mind was foggy
He could hardly think.

It was thee day he was on his way
His time was really up.
The rules require he must retire
So he had drunk from the goodbye cup!

Those little mice they didn’t think twice
they quickly ran amok
And in no time felt quite sublime
Could not believe their luck!

Tails in the air, Mouser so unaware 
Their party had began.
For life’s a must, much was discussed
Like an employee ownership plan.

“Imagine if, Mouser was a stiff
And we all ruled this place,
By and large we’d be in charge
Something we could all embrace.”

But just at that appeared a Rat,
You know what they all say.
You’re never more than through a door
Away from their decay.

“Well gee whiz, so what is this 
We have an open house.”
He said with grin, “I’ll just move in
And go and get my spouse.”

The mice felt down and wore a frown
And thought we can’t have this,
Awake that cat from off his mat
Get him out his drunken bliss.

So it was to great applause
He had ended up quite upset,
They’d  got the hose and gave a dose
Of water cold and wet!

Mouser howled then he scowled
Jumped up and cried aloud,
“I’ll get those mice they are my vice
They will end up in a shroud.”

The mice did flee with so much glee
The Rat it disappeared.
Mousers head felt like stale bread
His paws they went real weird. 

And so it was, like an arbitration clause
Came in the Big Bad Boss.
“What’s all this noise I don’t enjoys,
I prefer a hearing loss!”

So Mouser stayed, a big blockade
And the mice he tipped a wink,
The big brown Rat, he don’t like a cat 
That’s had too much to drink!

Now drink can make you think
It can feel  good alright.
Whiskey can make you frisky
But it can also make you fight!

For a Scottish cat enjoys combat
As much  as a Father loves his daughter,
Although there is a cure,
maybe it is obscure,

We could of course add water!

Go Bang

“Go BANG!”



"Is that a gun in your pocket?"
She said

"Careful, I recommend
you need to be undercover, 
and soon, call it Espionage M
You’re so disjointed
It's exasperating
but endearing"
He said

"Danger is Your Middle Name
You’ve been decoded!"
She said
"But rest easy, so far
not defrocked
We need you triggering
pistols, and playing 
Russian Roulette
and Shuttle Cock -
it will assist me 
if your outcome is
alive not dead"

He said
"Dear Badminton, 
Is that the same as 
being decrypted in bed? 
Of course, if you prefer,
we could -
tread water naked 
with sharks instead"

She said
"I love it when you
split hairs over slang
Special Agent,
leave the Latin for Corsica,
Confessions remain
secrets left unsaid -
Let’s go vesper 
riding full monty
with the high priests of 
soliloquy instead...

By the way, you failed to
answer my question - 
Is that a gun in your pocket?"
She said

He said
"Come here and pull 
the trigger, it’s a 
lethal weapon 
consider it a 
suave kind of 
special Agent thing...
Your mission, dearest Cabin Fever" 
he pushed the envelope towards her, 
"should you so wish to proceed here…."

"Go BANG!"
She said

Premium Member Real Men Wear Pink

I stand about five feet eight
I'll admit, I'm a tad overweight
Drive an old pick up truck
Not one to pass the buck
At the moment have a dog for a mate

Dropped out of school at eighteen
Got married in a pair of old jeans
A father of four
When I sleep, I snore
When angered been known to get mean

I grew up huntin' and fishin'
Done more than my share of wishin'
Been in a few fights
Know I'm not always right
For my age, still in decent condition

In my life, I've worked many hard jobs
Its been said, "I'm rough as a cob"
I've smoked and drank
Spent time in the tank
And never, not once, did I sob

I also love being outside
My old skin is weathered and dried
Still play in the dirt
Cuss when I'm hurt
But I do have a softer side

Poetry, I read and I write
These days, prefer music to be lite
Love trees and flowers
Warm spring showers
And swinging on stars at night

I like women who like to hold hands
Take moonlight walks on the sand
Curves excite me
Whispers invite me
A good listener who tries to understand

I wash dishes, do laundry and floors
Clean bathrooms, wash walls and doors
I'm a pretty good cook
Without a cookbook
To be honest, don't mind household chores

Just so you're perfectly clear
I've traveled from there to here
Simple but complex
Know love's more than sex
And on occasion I cry manly tears

Yes sometimes I even wear pink
Wear cologne to make sure I don't stink
Write poems about birds
Use everyday words
And I don't give a damn what you think!

Does Life Hang On a Tiny Tread

Does life hang on a tiny thread,
haven't many been misled?
Discouraged? One needs the courage
to achieve the impossible!
Decry fate, never fling your sword
to wound a moribund soul already bleeding;
control your irrepressible rage, doesn't healing
begin when reasoning is finally deployed?  

Does life hang on a tiny thread
as the breath, our lungs exhale?
Would one prefer the silence of Haden,
over the freedom of choices, or vale
yourself as a worthless martyrdom
that is simply a deplorable word?
Has your bottle run out of rum...
realizing your sin is unforgiven?

Does life hang on a tiny thread
when one succumbs to unfounded fears,
and mutters the words of a drunk?
Cowardice and valor don't match a bit,
look deep down and see how you have sunk,
no hands can lift you out of that abyss;
never dismantle the steel armor you have wrought:
victory is not attained without bloodshed!

Premium Member What are we?

The mind is a phenomena, 
questioning a journey we are unable to predict,
but what are we but specks of dust,
floating in an endless universe.

What are we but seekers of the unknown,
forever pondering meaning and belonging.
With so many paths, so many directions,
what do we actually control?
Some follow guidance from men in robes,
ancient scriptures and spirits from statues, 
some prefer philosopher's words -
others become students of science.

We know there was a beginning,
so we contemplate what will be at the end.
So much is spoken,
yet there is too much unexplained,
so we connect with 'opinion.'

In spheres of spirituality
our soul resides within us,
but we search for acceptance,
to be understood, for some to be remembered.
Some find it inside attractive structures,
others in natural landscapes.

We are all forests with a waterfall flowing through us.
We are more than flesh protecting our bones.
We are physical beings with an emotional existence.
Where we face adversity and tribulations.
Some become sensitive, some stronger.
There is no permanent sadness,
nor everlasting happiness -
we are like sandcastles waiting to be washed away.

We are vessels of compassion.
Harmony is the absence of ego,
we have the power to bring joy upon the earth we walk.
In a society full of makeshift machines,
it's important to remember we are humans.

Prune juice as effective emetic

Prune juice as effective emetic

Brainstorming yields casting 
the following plumbline 
netting genetic, italic, kinetic, 
magnetic, opportunistic, quixotic,
synchronistic, and universalistic result.

Ofttimes I experience constipation bout,
and thus the missus pours me a class
of natural laxative with clout
nursing said tonic,
yours truly situated in close proximity
to bathroom without doubt
lest sphincter muscles go into overdrive
wreaking excretory fallout
challenge compounded to access loo
courtesy flare up of gout
while all alone in the wilderness
helplessly at odds how to receive handout

of toilet tissue (or baby wipes), I bewail
to avoid staining underwear
(with trademark skid marks,
which the wife bemoans,
when washing clothes in kitchen sink
repulsed when seeing 
a small piece of excrement)
the latter cloth material to clean tuckus,
which I prefer using
to attend unpleasant task
to render posterior happy and shiny tushy

(housing a well functioning conduit,
where human waste eliminated
that without fail
fills tidy bowl brim to overflowing)
frequently necessitating me to bucket flush
and/or notify management headquarters
(for a plumber) located in Lansdale,
which short poem
figuratively sketches thumbnail,

when dyschezia plugs up
lower orifice of the alimentary canal
a side effect linkedin to one or more
of the prescription medications
reliant upon to ameliorate
the mental health issues
of social anxiety, dysthymia,
(a low mood occurring

for at least two years,
along with at least
two other symptoms of depression), and
palmar hyperhidrosis (characterized by
chronic excessive sweating,
not related to the necessity of heat loss)
to list a few outstanding plagues
upon mine body electric
afflicting me since mommy dearest

witnessed debut during her parturition
heralding my debut into this badass
webbed, wide world,
whereby wildly contra dancing, 
(the most fun one can have
with their clothes on),
a pleasant panacea,
yours truly foot loose and fancy free
applying nimble fingers watching
lovely ladies fancifully twirled.

List To Live By

Be born (or get born if you prefer)
If you are a woman – Give birth
Remember your name when in a foreign land
(If you don't have one make one up)
Breathe only air and at the appropriate time
Drink wine (but not with living fish or gators)
Take walks on the beach (remember feet and sandals)
Open a door with at least one hand
(Close it with another)
Buy security
Read Aristophanes
Borrow a car, (one with gas and a woman inside)
Borrow a woman (Catholic, Jewish or atheist will do)
*Teeth are important
Brush teeth - “yours” and “hers” (use different brushes)
Build a house  (one with windows and oceans inside)
Scratch an itch - only using your spouse or lover (Never use your nose)
Put the trash out (starting with your spouse if they are dirty or ugly)
Go to war....with bacteria
Go to peace (found under flower petals and under the covers of night)
Diet and die (but not in any particular order)
Follow this list to Acapulco - another list will follow
Follow that list to its conclusion (never lose it)

*This is a didactic poem.  It is also a "List" poem.

Premium Member Sinking Expectations

I remember when
we asked about the quality of schools
before buying a house.

Now we know,
whether house shopping or not,
the educational outcomes will not be good
however better some than most,
yet now we need to ask about the quality of the local police department
before selecting a house
where they might prefer battering rams to open doors
over a more civil knock,
might prefer shooting to asking questions.

I remember when
we asked how liberating from wars
and violence
and oppression
our political candidates could imagine
and rhetorically explicate,
hope to promise.

Now we too seldom hope
for such vision of lofty and deeply rich heights,
and we need to ask the Government Economic Analysts
how many more will lose basic health and safety care-receiving,
because we cannot choose to care for all
in the latest version
of the virulently fascist anti-health bill.
