Ok I am going to trot this one out once again
not knowing if it will be better received than
When it flopped in Peoria.
I love to hear people laugh.I love to have a part in making people laugh.Sometimes I get carried
away in that pursuit.
Once while talking on the phone to my oldest sister
and hearing her little giggle I retold a joke
my brother the crass master had told.
Granted it was borderline yet bizarre enough
that it would not offend I believed
You be the judge......Hey Deloris I said did you hear about that guy that died while eating fresh mountain oysters?No,in a voice of concern she said. Yeah,seems the hog drug him through a barbed wire fence............silence.......more silence
Yet still more s....... well you get the picture.
I don't consider myself to be a heathen but then this stuff happens.
Don't know exactly what she found off color about it.Feel free to clue me in.I never asked her about it
as her infinite silence was all the chastising I can handle in that regard.So shoot me a line kids,Set me straight. Should I cull this one for good?

A well-known stud in Peoria
Brought lots of women euphoria
But married rather well,
After casting his spell
A gal he fondly called Gloria.

We were born to offer
each other our own plates
of suffering wounds.
No poultice will do.
Crying is out. Marriage also out-
each with our own insecurities and stubbornness -
two mules going down the same narrow path.
Money weighs heavily like bricks
in your jean pockets
so you must throw it in the air
and see where it lands.
Your home looks like Circus Vargas
equipped with a pretty girl spinning plates,
clowns making balloon animals,
and two acrobats teetering above
on a thin wire without a net.
I protest as loudly and as often
as wailing babies prevalent
in the bloody air of a local park
in Peoria, Arizona.

I believe it was this day in Peoria, Illinois at Methodist Hospital at 11;04 am
The day I was born, the day I fell in love, the day I took my 1st breath
the day i cried a tear the day I've always been in love
Today is my Birthday and you have been here my whole life
