The Interrogation
"I would rather be on a leaky ship that is mine, than aboard a more seaworthy vessel going where I don't wish it to go"—Poet's alter ego
Yes, I know what I’m doing
I’m the master of my fate
The captain of the sinking ship
Seeking harbor in ports whether safe or rocky
With gusto I plow through uncharted frontiers

Sassy and Genghis
Sassy and Genghis they now get along
Sassy liked Kublai but he is now gone
Old Genghis still a little grouch
he growls at Sassy if she joins him on the couch
Sassy will at times kiss him and sniff his little face
when he is behind her sneaking a sniff takes place
Under the desk Genghis loves to hide and

Twitchys Baby Sassy
The fawn arrived at one o’clock on a sunny Sunday
In the middle of Australia, where her mother had consumed bits of hay
The birth was easy, onlookers were silent, loving their deer
This fawn, named Sassy, was glad she was born in the meadow here
Some deer are born into an anxious, hunter’s kind of world, but not

sassy brassy classy cat
I put hot pink pajamas on my cat Scat.
She twists her tail, for she knows where she’s at
A sassy, brassy, classy, ritzy, ditzy, diamond cat.
worth all the trouble, said my cousin Pat.
For she is smug and self-assured, a joyful cat.
I hear her coming now, with her pitter pat.
Dressed in her fancy pajamas, my cat, Scat.
Uh-oh,

studious sexagenarian skinny scruffy scribe
My utmost humblest apology

cerebral calisthenics upon your cranium,
but the cost of friendship

she would look sassy in foil
Lotta would look cute in a box of crackers, his grandmother said.
She would look sassy in a roll of aluminum foil, said Uncle Ned.
Lotta’s assignment at school was to fashion a dress from the kitchen.
Unique, made of items that are usually discarded, her mother was ’n.
They were talking about the girl who dated their grandson

My Dog Sassy
My house echos with laughter with my Sassy girl
She will be two in November energizing my world
Watching her two little older brothers makes her glad
picks up all their habits the good and the bad.
Her left ear points up like a spear reaching for the sky
Her right ear lazily droops down to the side
Her nose is

Sassy Sun
I had named my verbose parrot Sunny, as he filled my world with sunshine;
For when someone truly touches the heart, you often must give some sign.
I habitually called him 'Sun' for short, and we had become best of friends,
Like the friendship nature cherishes, with all the vibrant beauty she tends.
Sunny and I loved watching old

tolerant of rabbits and deer
reseeds herself
spreading her prettiness

Diamond Jim Dates Sassy Elephant
Who are you dating now? I asked Diamond Jim.
He was hesitant to tell, which is odd for him.
It’s a sassy elephant who wears a tutu said Lou.
He gave her a mean look, which is what brothers do.
She is really sweet, and she’s opening him up.
Said his brother Anglo. They won a dancing cup.
Diamond Jim walked
