Long Whipper in Poems

Humus me? My vegetated chokes ingest!
(jokes all in jest)

Hard to believe, I orange in a lee
started life as barely visible speck!

Just in the course of healthy growing
season, this former minute nearly
microscopic entity developed into

Back to you Billy, for ways I whiled away herding ennui

Ah...a flood of memories wash over
this anointed Goatama Boo Da,
whose respected G.O.A.T status
among generic green acres, 
which swathed across Highland Manor 
analogous to petty coat...

Scrounging for boogers wrought my damn nostrils nearly to bust 

My humblest apology if the following account
doth gross thee out forlorn childhood of mine 
found further ostracization of me tantamount
being shipped off to  a...

As the birds begin to sing us hymns of praise
 the light bringing a new day
The colorful scene as the sun rises
I know...

get out of his car and walk into a store.
Ever watch an obese woman eating at a buffet 
and you think there is just no excuse,
Ever see...

Going to start taking life on the flea..or is that the fly

We adults at the most laugh fifteen
Try to copy these young whipper snappers
But watch you don't rupture your spleen

The biggest predictor of love is proximity
That makes a whole lot...

Poets are a very strange breed

We still believe that love is the answer

Being a poet, I know this to be a fact

Looked forward earlier to this advanced age

Wondered what happens to the love genes

Do they...

The teacher talks

I dream

I am awoken from my endless daze

by a stern voice (pay attenion)

laughter erupts from the class 

as my face brightens I look around 

then I

Think I'll write something uplifting

About flowers and the birds and the bees

When I was in school way back when

Sex talk created much unease

It wasn't a subject taught in schools

When I was a young whipper snapper

Attended...

Today is the first day of the rest of our lives

No matter how much time we have left

A sobering thought as we reach our golden years

Our number could be up tomorrow, next week, next year

Think I'm just gonna bum around today
If you don't mind that old expression
Literally, I'm gonna goof off and waste time
Feeling lazy in a state of vegetation

These days are happening a lot more often
Became a senior,...

Sitting in an open meadow
To the call of whipper wills
He places his pen in motion
As the winds calm to a still

Nature turns to bend an ear
To what he has to say
The stream near by so...

When I was younger and I thought of old age

Thought we all became senile at this elderly stage

It appears I was wrong, I can still go potty

And able to dress this tired old body

Ever pretend you were not feeling well
Just to take a day off from school?
You say your tummy has very bad pains
You think you have everyone fooled?

Well listen to me young whipper snappers
You didn't invent this...

Whee whoo

The birds call to each other.

A black bird with a bit of red
Flies in to have a bit of breakfast.

Leep Leep Leep 
The black bird has flown...

GRANDMA AT THE TRACK

foolishly
i threw the rock
and appeared
to hopscotch 
until the ill of my ankle
violently mocked

i chalk it all up
to forget me nots

my mind over knees
ignores
the rusty gears 
as my wrinkled hand
avoids resistance 
hovering a...

Up bright and early at the crack of dawn
Seems that's been my routine forever
Don't wanna waste a single damn moment
Don't wanna miss a single thing ever

Time seems forever when we're youngun's

Don't forget to zip your zipper.
Said thee old whipper snapper.
Life's too short, so be a good sport.
While we head to a resort.
After the high school prom tonight.

We can make whoopee, under a pine tree.
After I...

The sun is rising on the mountains below

Was self-employed for thirty-five years
So when I finally called it quits
No big party, no expensive gold watch
No well wishers, no funny quips

As I quietly sailed off into the sunset
I heard this young fellow say
