Merrily Rollicking
Comical how the squirrels are frolicking
In the leaves that have covered the ground
At least a dozen of them merrily rollicking
Nipping and chasing each other all around
Their eager playfulness is so astonishing.

Merrily Merrily Merrily
Why can't I enter Nirvana
in one fell swoop
'cause that's what I wanna
to end this endless loop.
Old deeds done--new lessons learned
pre Karma lost---post Karma earned
all things positive--all negatives spurned.

Sleep Merrily
Go to sleep
Your health you’ll keep
Don’t lie awake and worry
For that’s interest paid
On a debt not made
Which robs you of your merry

Mesmerized Minions Merrily Mention Making Millions
Morey Mouse made merry,
Mollifying Mallory’s Mama,
Maybe mixing mammoth metaphors
Marvelously mystical, Marmaduke mimed
mingling, meshing, ‘mogrifying magical mites,
Measuring muskrats minding miniature minnows
Meddlesome merrymakers, Mr. Mumbsly mentioned, miffed.
Mesmerized minions made millions, merely making mincemeat.
Mediocre maybe, magnificent Mrs. Mumps meticulously mentioned.

A Night To Remember
The night was dark yet cheerful
With a trip down the memory lane
Memories so gloomy yet blissful
Embracing the subdued heart's pain
It began as an effort for relief
And our tears started to flow
As we spoke our heart's grief
A bond transpire like winter snow
It was a night that altered the past
Into something that felt so pure
When the

Merrily We Roll Along
lined up tall to small —
tailored suit on middle child.
Brady Bunch dress on sisters.
the Hammond organ,
put together by our dad —
the masterpiece behind us.
my mind’s eye opens
the bench, practice chart on keys,
wiggle of toes and fingers.
i flip old pages
with eyes closed. I see the song:
Merrily We Roll Along
we’re only self-taught.
the silly keys and chords squawk.

Not So Merrily
NOT SO MERRILY
in evening light, the tree not so merrily —
its shades shut tight, in revelry, lids beating
the coal cache — the portly man, delivering
tongues grab and stow curses repeatedly
astride of hohoho — his sleigh weighty
held back by slick-haired elves stampeding
faux-fur falls suffocating — snowfall heaving
calving forth a cacophonous sleet-piercing scream
an ivory finger placed on

Merrily Streaming
Merrily Streaming
Merrily streaming good movies along,
HD, SD and sometimes black and white,
barring sweetheart films with syrupy song,
only far away adventure excites,
a night panorama of grandest sights.

Merrily Round We Go
Its a revolving door
Its a Spirit turning into a Christmas store
We aren't satisfied, we aren't longing to stay long
You can hide behind the settee
When the monsters come on the TV
But when you leave a space in my heart
Spinning in my room, head hitting the ceiling
Merrily we go round
I dont want to get off this ride
Its

Merrily Down the Stream
Merrily Down The Stream
While on our honeymoon to Ireland our flight went down
It landed in the stormy ocean
My wife and I just married and in a hurry to leave town
Nobody drowned but we’re stuck in this commotion
People climbing over each other in the dark
We finally made our way to Dublin wet and tired
Showered in cold

Happily Merrily Divorced
--- BEFORE---
love birds coo coo coo
mouths holding honeymoon hands
sailing rapture glow
---NOW---
he morphed into a shabby computerholic couch potato
triple sour grudges, the twisted naggings piercing falceto
mr. droid in the attic

So Merrily
she walked so merrily into my heart
twas so very rarely done
our two spirits joined as one
two hearts made into one and rare kind of love begun
twas so very rarely done
what a happiness to behold
two hearts made onto one and rare kind of love begun
saddness and insecurity devoured and shunned
twas so very rarely done
our two spirits
