Shazam

Jim Nabors always said "Shazam", that was his catchphrase.
Because of his contributions to television, he deserves praise.
It was hard for him to watch the opening credits of Gomer Pyle because many of those Marines died in Vietnam.
We always know that he's on Gomer Pyle or the Andy Griffith Show when we hear him say "Shazam".
We also remember him yelling "Citizen's Arrest".
All of his fans are sad and they're also depressed.
He also starred in some movies, two of which were Cannonball Run 2 and Stroker Ace.
His friends, fans and family have to say goodbye, his death is hard for them to face.

(Dedicated to Jim Nabors who died at the of 87 on November 30, 2017.)

Self Quarantined Misanthrope Pitched Into Purgatory Wham

Self quarantined misanthrope pitched into purgatory wham!

Ably cane resign eternal damnation (mine)
courtesy devil specially engraved telegram
prestidigitation found me vanishing shazam,
without a trace I disappeared in thin air voila
Earthly travails atop horns of dilemma ram
into me buttucks pitching yours truly ma'am

hoisted by my own petard sheepishly wool
ewe (red dully) bull heave human bug eyed
recalcitrant specimen (me) nonetheless lamb
basted skewered (think shish kabob) log jam
succinctly described helplessness to preserve
ultimately repurposed into green eggs and ham
harmless recluse no more valuable than flotsam.

Grant simple wish to withdraw into hermitage
coronavirus (COVID-19) just desserts we wage
us *****sapiens on trial across web world stage
severely misappropriating Earthly resources rage
understandable Gaia she pointedly reminds adage
inescapable comeuppance whereby our civilization

written off as atrocious, hellacious, malicious, page
poisonous primates essentially, dismally, yes clearly
bollixed, failed, leveraged, & tortured planet I gauge
hell in a handbasket ironic tragicomic fate wise sage
of yesteryear did prognosticate now we scurry hither
and yon, to and fro Smashing Pumpkins immortalize

metaphor likened each one of us as rat locked in cage
bajillion eons ago once upon a time our noble savage
ancestors levels playing field now new bacteriophage
relentlessly pits twenty first century civilization doles
microscopic organism (battling unseen enemy) voyage
around sun fraught tooth and nail powder milk biscuits

a Prairie Home Companion ruse buzzfeeding courage
for shy people (yours truly) communicating message,
albeit urgent to revamp paradigm to live social - nsync
with eco friendly coda allowing, enabling, & providing
liberty and justice for all living (colorful) things hostage
at mercy of self proclaimed superior beasts above average
with intelligence, yet rendering oblate spheroid garbage.

No major inconvenience incapacitates rather humdrum
bard (rarely bored), I wanna pitch headlong into scrum
no need to scream and shout, cuz I speak softly to mum
(Mother Earth) reassuring, she inevitably bests hoodlum
standing arrogant, boastful, deceitful comfortably numb
oblivious when day of reckoning delivers offal maelstrom.

Coke Is It

Thirsty? I
wonder,
well I’ll
pop my
top. I’ll
hiss and
you’ll sigh
the fun just
won’t stop. I’d
like to teach the
world to sing, really
it’s no joke. For I’m the 
pause that refreshes, yup
Coca-Cola is Coke! Good to 
the last drop, you know it’s 
true.  The best combination
Is Red, White and You!  Coke 
adds to life wherever you are. 
Just have a Coke and shazam,
you’re a star. I am as pure as
 sunlight for all folks see; your
passport to refreshment; so
just what will it be. Let me
share a wee secret there’s
no need to be coy. Just 
open a Coke, then sit 
back and ENJOY. I’m
the favorite drink for all 
sorts of folks. You just can’t 
deny it, things go better with 
Coke. And you  can’t beat the 
feeling;  so don’t throw a fit. 
When you’re feeling Thirsty,
Look to me, COKE IS IT!

Premium Member Fun: A New Way To Sell Your Poetry

Eureka, Shazam, the moment just came, 
The moment came out of the blue, 
Where all that I’ve written from deep down inside, 
Can finally come into view,

I can speak out each poem like a poetry slam, 
Poems you’d speak to the moon,
And digitize each on the new record app, 
Then distort it to make it in tune,

And to give it some funk I’d add an organ, 
And drums to accompany my voice,
Yep, a poem with some instruments to support what is said, 
A jazz sort of melodious noise,

Oh wait, hang on, this isn’t something new, 
Poems with some symphonic jam,
It’s what I hear on the radio each day, 
It’s a song that is sung by a band.
