A Medley of Monoku-ku

My soul aches to know
                               What those that don’t know
               

A Wacky Medley - Christmas Song Parodies

Deck the Halls
Whacked the guy that stole my money
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la!
"Jail's the place for you now, sonny,"
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la!
"Grant you pardon? Kill that notion!"
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la!
Toss the key now to the ocean
Fa, la, la, la, la, la,

Medley

Trembling and shaking and out of control.
The burn in my mind, a deafening pull.

The sight of your visage, the feel of the day.
Oh god in the heaven make this go away.

The voices descending, a haunting retreat.
The torment of legions repeat and repeat.

Oh, pain strike the numbness. Oh, Hell take me in.
Oh, turmoil receive me again

A Right Old Medley

                         There once was an old, craggy witch
                       

Jack and Jill Medley

Jack and Jill went up the hill
to eat the curds and whey,
then the isty bisty spider
came and sat down beside her
and Jill ran away.
Then Jack got nimble
and Jack got quick
and called all the kings horses and men,
then he sat in the corner
and blew his horn,
and saw the cow jump out of the corn.

Short Nursery Medley

Marry had a little black sheep
and three bags full of wool,
She shared with the master,
and shared with the dame,
but not with little boy blue
who blew his horn at the spider.

Kaleidoscopic Medley

Gorgeous colors come together, in a fantastic, impromptu dance,
Mingling with manifold others, in cascades of pure happenstance,
Encompassing a world of hues, like luxuriant gardens at a glance,
Or the magic of rainbow and of sunset, in zesty games of chance!

Severed Caution - Medley In a Plain Brown Wrapper

I wasn’t looking for love.
She just whispered in my ear.
Couldn’t trust a word she said,
But it sounded so sincere.

Boldness when called for is purpose enough.
Kindness when asked for should not be refused.
But let us consider the question of motives;
What use to be married if not to be used?

I wasn’t pining for love.
I had problems of

Hope Medley

Hope forewarned
 Such was Jeremiah's call:
 Go, tell my people what I'm going to do;
 Know that they will not listen to you.

 Hope forlorn
 determining the odds on a bet:
 You choose this or that, using your brain;
 you lose sometimes, money down the drain.

 Hope shopworn
 accompanies buying a car:
 Fishing, sales huckster

Medley

1

The evening calm,
At distance.. close,
Where thoughts have ceased,
As hearing heeds,
The anxious mind has found its place,
To rest awhile and set sail..

2

Love is limp in ways
Settling at one's caress,
Holding tight our potted hearts;
Like a child pulling a cart ,
As the summers still young,
With the birds welcome..

3

Cradling a basket,
Carrying a racket,
The hand shows three.
A picnic by the

Midweek Medley - Three Holiday Limericks

~ Trick or Treat on the Moon ~

The man in the moon's really kind of neat
Every Halloween he plays trick-or-treat
   When astronauts come
   He acts kind of dumb 
"Green cheese is all I can give you to eat."



  ~ The Turkeys in Tennessee ~ 

The turkeys in Tennessee are so

Dinosaur Medley

A dinosaur lives in my street -
his garden is not very neat:
he thunders along,
and looks very strong,
and thinks all the neighbours are meat...

an egg cracks - -
a baby t-rex
peeks out

My dinosaur has smelly feet,
and so he puts them out of bed -
he eats so much his gas is vile
(I'd rather smell his feet instead).

A Medley of Monoku

A MEDLEY OF MONOKU

a tarnishing of golden years – the murmurings of madness

homeless amid the rubble – the acrid stench of flames

knit one, purl…  three kittens – one ball of yarn

a darkened window – separation

too good – too soon – too bad

streetlights and snowflakes – pixilated mirage

table for one – check please

in the midst

Got Me For Life - a New Year's Medley

for Bebe Rexha


There's one thing
     that's constant
          "you've got yourself for life"

Eveything else
     comes and fades:
          recriminations, repercussions,
          delineations, manifestations,
