Light Lettered Laughter

The essence of wit is brevity
which interestingly evinces chivalry
delivered verdict to hex hoar size 
   (once and for all) president 

   dons mantle of deviltry 
and trumps constitutional credo 
defining American elementary
particular edicts denoting, enshrining, 
   framing, grand honorable inalienable rights

when foolhardy lobbyists prevail 
   evicting execrable“enemy” 
i.e. forward thinking (progressively liberal) 
   which subsequently might help 

   timid citizens to invoke probate, procure, produce cojones 
   in opposition against rabidly power hungry, 
   misogynistic courting among the body politik 
   fostering future feverish fortuity,

toward risking life and limb sans 
   Uncle Sam selfless gratuity
(especially as Benjamin Button syndrome – 
   reverses aging process

   acquired thru heredity 
gets in full swing) stamping mindset 
   nonestablishmentarian identity 
with my Kosher blessing despite any infamy

permission to go ahead with jocularity
from a superstar coach named Kennedy
thereby garnering homespun liberty
where icon bank on direct 
   laudable, linkedin longevity

with unrolled Scottish grandeur 
   (Pomp and  Circumstance broadcast)
   synchronized with precise 
   unrolled welcome mat
   yule receive granted “FAKE” feted soiree

as curtain call doth close toward 
   final decade of mortality 

yet dismiss bing hash-tagged 
   a scofflaw at any opportunity
especially if legislated mandate 
   earmarked as priority

in tandem with the key quality 
apothegm stipulates decrease sing sanity
as the hands of father time 
   spin (Doktor Dude Little) backward 
   away from present day turbidity 
increasing revanchism uber victory.


The Probate Letter


Remember me
Your beloved mother

In the low hours

Whenever you are feeling weak 
And have lowered
Your powerful barriers

For it's then I can only be truly seen

Remember me
As that tsunami of furious fire

That once reenergized you
In dark years

When you were alone and tired

To be wholly free

Remember me
By looking at my picture
Of us together 

Your now favourite 
Black and white one
 I sent you

As my holy scripture
That you'll only need

Remember me when you too are old 

Standing brightly as the early morning sun 

In the darkness of old age

Even though your beloved memories are getting cold

Before God turns your page
So you can fade away

To join me 

As the hours and seconds
Run away 

Remember me
So I may stay
In some strange spiritual way

To give you comfort

Until you too are recalled
To float away

Someday

Remember me
My poetic love 
So I can come to you

In dreams

Walking down to find you
Through the ethereal blue rivers and green

Underground streams 

To reach you to swim
Together 

Reunited

In the Holy Sea
Until the early morning sunrise

Remember me

As your true spiritual devotion

Who you met in physical flesh

As one
Who wrote down 
In a pre-life road map

With a spirit guide
In another
Far away nation

“I want to meet someone so extraordinary 

A child of mine 

Someone so special to be a member of my own tribe

Who will show me such poetic wonders” 

“That my heart will open up its velvety doors and ask to be possessed as it pleads to confess

Before I once more walk 
In those heavenly tides
Of the Holy Sea”

And then I suddenly met you at birth

Mesmerised 
By all I could see

So that's why I pray
For you 
Each night

So you'll remember me
As I wait here

Walking barefoot and alone
In the swirling tides
Of The Holy Sea

Waiting 
for the one to love me again

I once wrote down before I was born

The only one I'll ever need

Just remember me
It's why I left this letter in my will

For you 
My beloved to read

Just remember me

Your beloved mother
Who loves you like no other

Premium Member The Listing

It was Halloween and a week at my new job as a broker in real estate,
we have a new listing, an old Victorian, after years being stuck in probate.
My boss excitedly told me the address, smiling as I felt dread and panic,
I secretly remember visiting that creepy place years ago, feeling frantic.

He tells me I must go there tonight to make sure it’s secure and not left open.
Darkness settling in as I walked to my car, praying the lock is not broken.
Memories flooding back, I was sixteen when exploring that home one night,
we were teenagers looking for a thrill, wanting to explore the haunted site.

We entered the home one night, laughing about the rumored doom and gloom.
The floors creaked, as the chandelier started to flicker in the living room.
Frozen in fear, seeing shadows of human silhouettes descending the stairs,
glowing eyes and growling from something living near the antique chairs.

We ran out of there, never to go back, swearing to keep that night a secret,
we knew we were not supposed to be there and that no one would believe it!
Trying to forget while walking down the driveway with my flashlight and mace,
there it was, the old Queen Ann Victorian with a turret and shutters all in place.

I tried to relax as I climbed the brick stairs to the huge gothic wooden door.
The door was left open, I stood there frozen, fearful of what might be in store.
I quickly grabbed the knob, locked the door, slammed it shut and ran to my car,
I then heard growling, looked back and saw glowing eyes and the door now ajar!

Premium Member Probate Surprise

Mommy and Daddy left everything to their favorite child, Bruce.
Bruce is also their self-centered, selfish child, but they did not see it.
Bruce came to visit once a year; he was their prodigal son.
They adored him, he was their everything.

Their daughter Sarah sat in disbelief at the probate office.
When had the will been changed?
She had taken care of her parents all of their lives.
Bruce now owned her home, she would have to move.
She asked if she could buy the house, but he said no.

She asked for her mother’s pearl necklace.
And her Daddy’s plaid jacket.
Two more no’s from the prodigal son.
