An Editor Grills a Cub Reporter
“You got the goldfish interview, as asked?”
“I did, sir, but he lacked the wherewithal
to answer me coherently, I fear.”
“What’s that supposed to mean? The fishing section
is looking pretty thin. You showed up masked?”
“Of course I did. That goldfish flu’s no joke.
He said he’s scared of casual infection.”
“Your killer question, then? Your master stroke?”
“What is the

an Iceberg and a reporter
Near a village in Alaska, an enormous iceberg drifted filling the bay with fear and wonder
A journalist in the local paper saw something moving on the top of the berg, intrigued he wanted to see what it was he had seen
A Sunday morning when the people sat in church, he

Cinnabar remittance ailerons squall federal cobblestones. Lank alpine squint modest. Nectarine grimace, cloys toothsome.
Coiffure chain rod composure anemic, primogeniture Swedish cotton murk optics
Rodeo riding maiden broadcaster network metaverse falconry. Boreal voyages legalese.
Simper treacle blanched anecdotally. Goofy balm, beardless tease, healthy as a horse, real bee knees.

Jym Ganahl He Knows It All
I love the snow and beautiful blue skies,
gentle rain and thunderstorms,
winds that blow the fall leaves,
leaving a gold carpet up to my knees.
I don't like duratio winds,
or tornados that suddenly blow in,
earthquakes that take down walls,
or warm fronts that stall.
When flood warnings are posted,
I always wish I had a boat,
the threats are real,
I really hope

The Haunting Adventures of a Dirty Blonde Knight-Home Sweet Home After Round One
Things started to go down
In the mountainous town
A major shake
From a rumbling flake
“It was not my job!”
LeClaire stated to the one man mob
A knight who had golden locks
Enormous gigantic power to shock
“It was an easy story to write
Unbelievable heroic sight
Readers will want to know what

The Haunting Adventures of a Dirty Blonde Knight-Reporting On the Rumblings
LeClaire was at his Traitors Post
Getting a roast
From the Indian seller
One heck of a yeller
“I did not have an affair!”
She did swear
“I sold this guy
What he wanted to buy
A nice gift
To give his new bride a lift”
LeClaire
Felt very scared
There was no time to stop

Girl Reporter
I jumped on a bullfrog’s back.
He screamed, startled.
I calmed him down.
Then we started talking.
Coffee, lunch, no suppers.
He is my guy now.
But I had to take things slowly
And pretend I was subtle.
Sedate little me, bullfrog’s girl.
Façade in place twenty-four seven,
So I can get his side of the story
On the Lily Pad murders.
What I wouldn’t do

A Tale of a Reporter and Demons
A wicked demon lives within these walls
In the darkness bats hang upside down,
their feet curl their tails in balls
A wicked demon lives within these walls
It had but one ear
an old tale claims the other is kept for decor
as a knocker for the front door, for decor
iron gates are believed to keep all

Reporter Is a News Transporter
Reporter Is a News Transporter
If I were the one defining a reporter,
They seem to be a news transporter;
When detected,
Highly respected,
Even if they may be taller or shorter.
