Long Schmoozing Poems

Trumpeting future mercurial villain of history

Predicated on his paying obese sense
to Ronald McDonald patron saint
buzzfeeding his pie hole
courtesy "two Big Macs, Fillet-O-Fish
and a chocolate malted,"
he hungrily nabbed the ?Tuesday,
November 5, 2024? election
ofttimes series of unfortunate...

"Lemonade"
 


Agency sent me to 
the territory of 
Lemonade dreams
where secret rendezvous
were disjointed 
and criminally spent 
shooting the cool breeze
she blew hot and cold 
covertly coquettish 
while they waited for 
absent common sense
to repent in...

My muse has been hiding out
And with no peep, squeak or shout
She must be sound asleep
No words, just counting sheep
Tired of the poetry drought

Oh where, O where has my gypsy muse flown
Seems she has left...

SUMMER SCHOOL ICUMIN IN

Summer schools are cumen in
Our annual rendezvous
We’ll make the best
Of a borrowed nest
Just like the wild cuckoo
Sing “cuckoo!”

Summer teachers cumen in
Jobs for me and you
With a predicate 
To indoctrinate 
Good English -...

'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the stable,

Not a reindeer was stirring upsetting Old Santa's timetable!
 
Sitting on their haunches were Donner, Comet, Cupid and Prancer,

And joining them in a snit were Dasher,...

Crystallized red, gold, green nocuous clang
of vertigo, bird-toons tweeting, knees on the rocks,
rolling eyes, coverlet-lids closing, discovered
in fetal position, cocooned in butterfly net.

“Don’t you have to go to work?”

“Have you eaten yet?”

I walked into the hardware store,
A place I’d never been before,
And knew that I would surely find
Exactly what I’d had in mind.

The narrow aisles were like a maze
Which led to crowded wall displays.
The owner, deep...

Rusty colours
Immature eddies
Various swirls by meeting the shallows 
Easy life for birds – paddling and schmoozing
Robust banks discipline the flow

Rapid somewhat move through the narrows
Under river fish playing with the water
Naughty fish playing!
Shallow deposits

Steady talking...

I couldn’t live without my phone
Although when I was younger,
Since mobile phones did not exist,
I didn’t have that hunger.

I waited ‘til I got back home
To call a friend for schmoozing.*
My mom would write a message,
If...

No more water hosing or truncheons beaten on bare feet,
no nightsticks cracking skulls on Bowery streets.

No cold water straitjackets or rubber padded rooms,
no laudanum doses sweeping minds like a broom.

Now its pretentious centers deluxe
brazenly charging...
