Op Poems

STAR GAZING

Time to take my patch off, I’ve been somewhat wobbly
Everything beautiful, everything bright,
So much clearer in black and white,
No double vision this time, I promise you honestly,
During my op visited our galaxy, am addicted to astrology

dog in post op

the dog’s dreaded cone is off
I am keeping a close eye out
Attempting to keep him from licking his wounds.
Post op surgery is less fun than surgery
of course neither is a carnival
my newly neutered dog is supposed to wear the cone for a week
or ten days
He had surgery forty-six hours ago
He has taken the cone off

Anxiety 
Blood pressure soaring
What are they going to say?
Are they going to poke and prick me again?
There's no where to hide in this room!

Local Business Man Saved By A Foreign Woman

Bussing immigrants to high-end neighborhoods makes immigration status worse. After an Ecuadorian women gave Heimlich to a man choking on a Scampi, she was once again bussed elsewhere without a single thank you. People in these areas reported people being saved by these immigrants. FYI: everyone in America are immigrants

OP-ED Pre-fix : in a Fix

CONTRI and DISTRI
Someone somewhere decided English
needed to be changed.
As usual with our copy-cat world, so dire
an unthinking band wagon has spread as
a forest fire.
An academic,typically verbose, wrote 
'why use one when two' could sound
more up-to-date and new!
Thus the 'double prefix' was conceived 
and sadly like a Topsy grew.
Contri and Distri have wrongly become 
the norm

Cherry Tree Music Co-Op

Cherry Tree Music Co-op

alternately titled instant infatuation: 
a moment of spontaneous *****
instantaneously transformed 
ordinarily shy guy into a quidnunc
courtesy powder milk biscuits
inside his mouth 
bitesize morsels did plunk
wafted courtesy pheromones 
found him punchdrunk
reclusive tendencies bubbled up

(analogous to petrification
found yours truly immobilized 
like Stonewall Jackson)
undermining vetted wanton yearning 
I lapsed into role of celibate monk
nonverbal communication

Equal Op

It's hard to explain why we complain
In any work together we do.
Each of means by "we" the same;
I mean "I" and you mean me , too!

Post Op Pressures 10

Suzanne thought she felt the slightest of vibration.So slight in fact she could not be  sure
If she had imagined it.

Arlis woke as she worked her hand down the leg feeling for the searing heat it was enveloped in when they arrived last night.It was much improved.For good measure she administered an
Injection of penicillin above

How now
      Bow-wow

Post Op

All senses suspended
I float in a deliciously numbing void
The return to consciousness is slow
Small unaccountable sounds assail
My brain
Olfactory nerves sense strange smells
It’s the optic senses that awaken last
Eyelids feel like one ton weights pressing down
Gigantic effort to life one up
A harsh white blinding radiance
Hits my optic nerves
Slowly I perceive tubes and machines
Around me
The picture coheres
Into

Warmingly, a seal

pup, heedlessly, greets strangers

who clubbed it to death.

Photo Op Stop

We made a stop
For a photo op
By a lovely glacier lake.

Our tour group posed
And we supposed
A nem'ry was at stake.

The sun appeared
And we all cheered.
(Our smiles we didn't fake.)

The gorgeous view,
The glacier blue -
A picture meant to take.

We do not know
(One week to go)
If friendships we will make...

But in my book
Some day I'll look,
Remembering that

The New York Times and the Op-Ed From a Senior Official

The New York Times
and
The Op-Ed from a Senior Official
By Franklin Price
9/8/2018

The New York Times has crossed the line, at least that's what I think
The op-ed published anonymously has driven me to drink
This well known publication has further stirred the pot
The New York Times is questionable. Was it a cabinet post or not?
