Long Rednecks Poems

Some folks will be down in the dumps 
Hillary lost … Donald came up trumps
Britain made their exit
They voted for Brexit
I have a question …are we all chumps?

Somnambulant schlemiel schleps...and says Shalom...

to anonymous readers March 22nd, 2022
(blustery and chilly Tuesday)
reminiscing about mein kampf,
when precious irretrievable youth
frittered away within

What made me stumble,
did I make fools of us ?
Fear was in disguise
and it overwhelmed.
Oh, I remember so little of it,
fragments of memory
and spoken words
whispered in my ear.
The bar with the bodies packed in it,
they...

(blustery and chilly Saturday)
reminiscing about mien kampf,
when precious irretrievable youth
frittered away within
emotional wilderness of mine.

trepidation, hesitation, abdication... unbearably
tugging, shouldering,

Carmena was born in Bolivia
but left that place at seventeen,
after three years of waiting for the chance
to live out an American dream.

When her folks finally got their green cards
they moved up into old Santa Fe,

Script my life to a page, my newly...

Schlerotic schlemiel schleps...

Into lonely senescence -
three plus decades already elapsed
trepidation, hesitation unbearably
tugging, shouldering,
remonstrating accumulation
of "baggage" thumb

of right hand thrust out
silently raving, quaking
cursing ultimatum parents
(soffit to fascia in)
saw fit to fashion
and hammer home

red hot poker rage

Now that I've got your attention... let's sail to avenues where few too many

There's strange noises round these parts
Tales of zombies too
Haunted cabins, ghostly sights
All sorts of witches brew

We all laugh when we hear stories
Stories that we know aren't true
There's a drink that folks all know
And it ain't...

Her barstool has six legs,
two are hers,
it plants her to the bar
and she is blooming like spring flowers.
Drinking in the spirits
from the bottles I serve her.
The smile she wears is false,

She-Ma appeared in the midst of an argument we were having.
A bunch of unruly rednecks and me; and I am afraid I was losing.
With her ribbon like hair, and her firm determined mouth, she materialized.

Freedom of speech will soon be DEAD
I don't own a bullet-proof vest
But who needs one
when they're aiming heads
instead of arms or better still legs
These people are humanity' DREGS.
Their “ TERROR LAWS ”
are like  FISHNETS...

I know the sky is beautiful, I told her
who seemed delighted with everything on the road
I'm focused on driving, I grumbled
palaces and hovels
heavens or hells,
I don't care anymore, I said
be quiet and let me drive...

Cottonmouth, dirty south 
Mustard biscuits, shut my mouth 
Down the Gulf of Mexico 
Running down Casino Row 
Through the miles of slot machines 
Making music, chasing dreams 
How far I'm going, I don't know 
Ain't...

Fisher was new to the Hollywood scene,
but he’d had an easy time getting it,
he’d written a screenplay set in Georgia
of rednecks who can’t handle strong women.

It was "Girls' Night Out"
At the local watering hole
So my bestie and me
Headed there at a stroll.

A crisp autumn night
And we both wore our furs
I joked she was a copycat
Saying she should change hers.

She stopped...

I went and bought me some rabbits,
And built a rabbit coop.
Like that Cadbury Bunny has,
‘Cept I got me a group!

With nice milk chocolate shells!
