Afterwards I...

As a historian I was focused, on the long record of writing,
Considered an expert in the field, I found it most exciting.

to a man quite rich with old money.

He was a bore, and he...

Clue-Who Murdered the Easter Bunny
It’s been ten days, the Easter Bunny is gone with hardly a trace,
The Missus is inconsolable- an Easter basket-case,

X Brand Love

She’s my bad medicine,
	giving me fever chills
	and heart palpitations
		Always breaking out in a cold sweat
from her sultry hot loving
	Keeps me dancing on the edge of death,
	defying all my common sense
She’s my no good medicine
Then there’s...

But since I was a kid
It was my favorite treat on the Fourth of July.

I find myself, circling
An area I was certain, 
Had been filled, long ago
Years of healing
Forgiving, walking on
With LOVE, into places I'd never go
....alone

I mean....there are things to be feared
Lessons learned, bridges burned
......I'm not STUPID!!!

Why am...

Private Eye
You hate your job,
but you're good at what you do

A paid shadow
who follows the trail of indiscretions
that other people lead you to

You're a gumshoe,
sticking to the assignment given you

Like a bloodhound on the scent,
another philanderer...

The street lights above flicker to a rhythm
Standing, waiting, why?  I don’t exactly know.
But I’ll continue here and remain a shadow.

There, the door opened and...

Once, someone posed a question
And it made me want to cry
"If you had to choose," she said
"Which one - cake or pie?"

I mean, why would she even pry?

Pulp fiction had nothing on him. He was a man’s man. A protagonist
of his own making, self-reliant, and self-assured.  Marlow kept his wisecracks
to the bare minimum when meeting a new client.  Dames were...

The Piper Is Paid
 mixed verse 


The Pied Piper was our town's private eye. 
He rode alone on his piebald horse,
kept his nose in everyone’s pie
