Ridiculous
Don’t spread cremation crumble on burnt toast.
Is what the undertaker said about dad’s ashes.
My furrowed brow responds…
Why? Who would do such a thing?
If you were to follow a random person
from the street, ever wonder, where it might lead?
You just might pick some ordinary schmo.
single?
innocent?
cavalier?
kind?
You may find out something—wishing you hadn’t
psycho?
shallow?
yokel?
callous?
hapless?
omnicidal?
Would you spread cremation

Big Mo
When a horrible commissioner
was suddenly fired,
team owners interviewed
Big Mo.
They told him,
You're hired.
Changes he made to the game
were made right away.
Protests which followed
were completely ignored.
And the first things
removed were all
the scoreboards.
Big Mo outlawed
all sales of meat.
No burgers.
No sushi.
No hot dogs
No barbecued beef.
No sea food harvested
from your favorite reef.
Big Mo said
The Game contained
too much volatility,
so

A Ridiculous Comparison- My Husband and Pumpkin
My husband is like a ripening pumpkin
Loves to lie down inert on the ground, most of the time.
Lack of exercises has made his belly bloat,
Like pumpkin, that now he looks a comic sight.
A pumpkin carved in shape with a light inside,
Serves as an adornment in Halloween season.
Though funny to view, he is beautiful inside,
With a

A Ticklish Situation
Call me fickle
no doubt about it
I’m in a pickle
a firkin full of gherkin
quite a quandary
tho' still a dill
the question isn’t funny

yet I don’t see
for love nor money
why I can’t tickle me

Rickety Rackety Ruffled Ridiculous Rhine
Rickety rackety ruffled ridiculous Rhine,
Make her hair stick out like a ball of twine
Let it fall out on the floor and in church too
Put a permanent skunk in her chimney wazoo
Make her look silly in front of thousands I say
Take away her fun, sabotage her in every way
If she takes a step, let her trip

A ridiculous question
She says witches are ugly if bad
She's says like it some kind of new fad
Which makes me think
Did this princess in pink
Called me ugly and now I am sad

Revolution smeared ridiculous
Revolution triumphs with hope
to replace the monstrous organs
that only ate
but never really wanted to function.
But if that hope is not equipped
to fill the void
with precision plans and control
then revolution will get smeared
as ridiculous, cause further pain
and deadly destruction.

Ridiculous Riddles Trimeric
Rip currents of ridiculous riddles
wet the chops of ink and parchment;
A poet enjoys tea and berry jam-tarts,
her pen tremors ‘We’re all mad here.’
Wet the chops of ink and parchment,
visit the tempestuous Queen of Hearts;
Feed your mind, milk her rose garden;
A poet enjoys tea and berry jam-tarts
drifting off into a golden afternoon;
Teaspoons paddle a sea of

Ridiculous Restrictions
Ridiculous Restrictions
A beautiful mansion stood before me,
Carved charisma, a beauty to see,
My mind was imprisoned by its crimson designs,
The sea beside gave a paranormal vibe,
My phone chimed, I read the strange instructions,
What were these ridiculous restrictions?
“Go straight to Room no. 403,
Don’t peek into rooms, don’t stop to see,
Screams and whispers are just illusions,
The white

This Is Ridiculous
Pups followed her home from this place and that.
She had bulldogs, basset hounds, and puppies so fat.
They followed her inside and lay down on her bed.
The mattress was cozy underneath each little head.
Her almost suiters were astounded to see the scene.
They said, “This is ridiculous!” One sounded quite mean.
You do not understand, she said. Here,

A Stuntman
There're a lot of
Strange, funny and weird stories
It's common to be employed as a stuntman in acting
But not to be employed for something evils
But not to be employed as a scapegoat
Maybe a ghost is looking for a substitute
But it's certainly ridiculous
To look for a stand-in for sickness
To look for a stuntman for your

She Looks Ridiculous
She dresses so young!
She should dress her age!
She looks ridiculous.
I scoff at these old biddies.
If any of them looked half as good
They would be dressed exactly like her.
She takes care of herself.
She exercises. She eats healthy.
She has a slim body, and her skin is impeccable.
This is where all the gossiping is coming from.
I roll my
