Trumpcanoes vomit,
diuretic lava flows:
Justice melting down::-
Jane in hot summer sunbathed in the nude,
she was on this day with her old friend jude,
Sun soon burnt both their bottoms red,
screaming for cover in they fled,
“what reason”said jude “shall I give my dude?”
the sun’s temperature exceeded the absoluteness of herself
every day this week had been one hundred and six or higher
I saw the sun now as oranges and reds, no longer innocent yellow
What is she doing to us? I wondered, will we perish?
Will it be our own fault? Because of what we have done to the ozone layers?
Too sticky and humid to think, the worst uncomfortably hot.
Her orange eyes bored through the guilt of my soul.
I was not innocent in this.
red hot meteor
she glows as she falls to earth
we pretend normal
I've bought a whole pound of Red-Hot Candy
If you'd share it with me, would be handy
I'd offer a chocolate bar
But my thoughts have gone ajar
Seeing you draped in curtains organdy
Here we are sitting down
on holiday on a very sunny day
it's really hot in front of town hall
reaching up to 27c not at all grey
The pigeons eating all their seeds
pecking away at every little divide
between the stone slabs, they see
following each other with pride
The town clock rises way up top
to be seen from all parts of town
so no one can miss the time
then you know when to stop shop
Folk walking about in their shorts
sunglasses are seen on everyone
looking up at the bright blue sky
total enjoyment is so much fun
Would we like this all year long?
in the hot stuff from dusk to dawn
we would be crying out for water
wishing we were far more strong!
(Just some thought last week on holiday at Southport in England enjoying the sunshine.)
red hot cayene pepper
bit my tongue ~ mouth like a snake
I need an ice cube
The Cubs are still winning
In fact, they're red-hot
Out of 17 games, they've won quite a lot
Out in L.A., they took five out of six
even for a great team, a very good trick
Let's trust that a hot start in April
doesn't lead to a fade in May
or that proverbial swoon in June --
Leaving fans fuming
come dog-days of August

here! Wash 'em down with a beer!" ... 'Red-hot,' of
course, refers to a team playing well and winning.
Irresistible shiny pure electric white skin. So wanton inviting to be kissed. Her lusty body adorably thin. I went from nice guy to beast is not something she would look of missed. I loved her goodness but longed for the excitement of her extreme rage. I lifted her onto the kitchen work top with irresistibly wicked brute strength. She looked angelic and appeared not to age. Ripped off her knickers and violently pounded her all the wickedness of my great length. I met equalled her with sexual dominance and we both at last ate on the same page
It was the school semester of 1971,
I was a volunteer usherette at the university theater,
in order to attract more people for plays,
our uniforms were red hot pants and white blouses,
we seated the audience including wives and spouses.
Older women who attended glared at our attire,
jealousy and resentment filled the theatrical air,
men stared at our legs and not at our faces,
the live performance was in the aisles
as we pranced along sashsaying creating smiles.
By mid semester there was a full house,
standing room only consisting of men,
a Shakespearean play was presented on stage,
the actors were upstaged and resented the fact
the hot pants attired usherettes made an impact.
SOFT SENUAL SOUNDS
ROMANTIC OVERTONES
SWEET SWEET MUSIC
ENLOVE WITH YOU
WE DANCE

I LOVE TO DANCE

HOW ROMANTIC THE NOTION
CALMING STORMY SEAS
LOVERS WITH DEVOTION
LET ME TELL YOU A STORY
ONE WITH A ROMANTIC CONCLUSION
IT'S NO ILLUTION
SOMETHING THE TWO OF SEE WORTH DOING
HAVING A SWEET OLE TIME TOGETHER
TALKING ABOUT FOREVER
BUYING RINGS AND STUFF
Under a hot Parisian sky,
rain falls from on high.
We stroll on cobbled streets,
high heels clicking on my feet.
Suddenly he pulls me close,
tells me I'm loved the most.
Underneath my red umbrella,
reminds me why he's my fella.
As if no one can see,
he kisses me and I he.
His arms around my waist,
as I tenderly caress his face.
It's time my love he mumbles,
as in his pocket he fumbles.
The tiny box reveals the stone.
Engaged on our return home.

They walk on coals on tippy toes for years —
Ice cold, red hot, a ravished tongue of spurs.
With hope, they balance happiness and fears.
Over stove, truly shamed, the pot it stirs.
Severe, the cursed to pace through fragile time.
On doors they knock and tear off locks of hair.
The shadow of crazed mimic, senseless mime.
Through sloppiness of tears, they know they care.
The drip of drops grows quiet - faucet off.
The stains on cheeks remain — rejection’s pain.
A cool soft cloth on honey skin sans scoff,
Agree to toss all argument — abstain.
Insanity pleads, pride be right not wrong.
But loving lips just want to get along.

The enchanted world of unknown bliss
Mr Starman on a journey without a miss
The bloodshot vehicle that he is driving
If on earth, would sure be thriving
The new roadster aboard the falcon
Is circling the space like a medallion
I promise if it was on earth today
It would be the most talked about vehicle on the highway!
Grandma told it well.
Some missionaries
Visited her dad –
He was one deacon.
Everyone listened.
He let them teach.
All about God
And the iron rod
Deacons complained
Threatened him
Their mob came
Red -hot tar --
Kids learned
Dad’s strength
Stands!

One Outrageous Story!
I remember Grandma telling me
about her dad, my great-grandfather.
back in the early 1900s
