Long Skedaddle Poems

Impossible mission to sleep on opposite side of marital bed...

Oddly enough even 
when frolicking in the autumn mist
with seasoned super tramping 
cheaply tricked out goo goo dolls
some resembling Indigo Girls,
one foo fighting beastie boy
unable to...

Hedwig


Her house, a memory lane of sacred spaces:
the cobwebbed attic travel trunks, 
high heeled shoes, pink taffeta gowns, 
skirts that open into spinning parasols, 
cool musty wine cellars lined with dusty bulbs 
and oak barrels,...

She sat near a pool of brownish waters.
Perplexed by her own reflection.
The wind tender on her hair,
Tossing it eastward.
Drying her imbrued face,
From days of sobbing,
Leaving dull lines that stretched
From her pale eyes,down her haggard lion.
She...

A cause for two hips and hooray.
With Split and Blueberry,
Their time would be merry
That’s if nothing got in their way… 

The deviled eggs had to come first,
‘Cause a picnic without...

E Pluribis and Unum Haiku

Pluribus Unum
Did look lost without the E
So what should we do?

Henry Mancini
Drove a long Lamborghini
Both made sweet music.

Did you see docile?
Guy who was an apostle
Sleeping on the job.

He sidles up next to you,
so stealthily
It’s like he appeared out of thin air
Then breathlessly,
he gives you a Jimmy Stewart howdy do,
and starts air guitaring in his chair
Just when you were on the verge of
hitting...

They planted Hank 'neath a lonesome pine when he came to the end of the trail.

A young cowboy’s money got spent
Just didn’t know where it all went
He thought of the blonde
He’d prob’ly been conned
He smiled and remembered her scent

He never thought much ‘bout money
Most people thought that was funny
He didn’t...

"Our horses are well-trained and subdued!", blared the stable sign!
That made a lot of horse-sense to me and suited me just fine.

Gary the Gander was a big silly goose
Who wanted to wander if he could get loose
From confines of the barnyard where he had been born.
He had layers of lard just from dining on corn.

Skedaddle 

Sneakily 
incognito 
Tip-toe 
to her chamber door, 
Whereupon 
it was ajar,
Never ajar 
was it before. 

Cloak and dagger 
I did intrude 
Across her 
chamber floor,
Thereupon 
she was asleep,
Never asleep 
was she before. 

Bold as...

but he’d watched Scoobey Doo
Seen them chase many a monsters
who’d escaped at the zoo.

His parents day was through.
His Mom had hand sewn his costume

Sidewalks are full of people, yet no eyes do mine meet;
Taxis, by the thousands, litter the city street;
The sun is blocked out by high-rises with business men in suits;
I am a lost and lonely cowboy,...

Juliet Cat was an amazing high-drama queen
I am not lying, exaggerating or trying to be mean.
She used to spend hours on her balcony, lamenting her fate.
She had a crush on Romeo, an arrogant tom cat...

So once again
you’re mistaken
quite mistaken
the world does not
revolve around you
No it doesn’t
I swear it doesn’t
So let me take this
take this pin
and pop your bubble
your stupid bubble
You’re causing trouble
for yourself
I will win this
I can end this
