Gracias Gringos

...Folks must be happy in Guatemala

   With tax money frittered by Kamala

      Will she visit the border

Noblesse Oblige

...Painstaking plumes of surest gait
To wield diamond steel over fate;
With slow pair of wit-guarded lips,
As otiose words sway great ships.

And dignified by deliberation and privacy.
I yanked my soul out of its secret chamber, 
And held it to the mirror of my eye.

Selcouth Folly

A glede hythe a quiff will gust aside
Her folly selcouth
Binds her  fast to her wanweird

Do I Walk Or I Walk Me

Suddenly I stopped
inspired by a questioning thought;

Am I a becoming or a being?

And prizes being awarded for such otiose verbiage
And praises being heaped for such ...
