cunctatious, flirtatious, and unostentatious,
plus being calm, cool and collected,
but he haint disputatious!

Rag on a Cloudy Day - Scott Joplin 1868-1917
I am highly entertained
though I see through the window what lies there:
yes, dark cloud hovers above our street
like a piece of rag.
But we admire contraries.
I am entertained because I hear rag -
all about pineapple, reflection,
stoptime, a paragon, a maple leaf.
You would never predict your treasure,
how so many of us listen to it today,
your music downloaded

The very abridged version recounting untold tragicomic storied life of Matthew Scott Harris
The very abridged version recounting untold tragicomic storied life of Matthew Scott Harris
I led a boring life.
The end.
All joking aside, now the epilogue.
As a bookish fellow born January 13th,1959
he attended school and got promoted
as a mediocre student,
who honestly nearly failed every grade
courtesy my nasty, short
and brutish doppelgänger,
who nixed, sabotaged, waylaid
me a little boy blue
(nothing but

When I was 10 years old, a new neighbor moved in next door. This man's name was Scott, and his wife was Kay. Scott was an old looking man whose body had been broken over years of work. He was about 55, with barely any hair left. As the years went on, and I got

The Great Scott
My maintenance man's name is Scott
and boy that man can do a lot..
Always cutting the yards and raking
up leaves, a constant need with Sycamore trees..
In snow and ice out there he'll be,
clearing sidewalks and streets of this community.
Scott's always there when neighbor's call, to
paint their buildings or a hot water heater install.
For thirty years he's

Inspector Amy Scott hero of Bondi Junction
Saturday afternoon at the shops
Families together laughing and loving a lot
Then evil came with deadly intent
Joel Cauci stalked them with his knife bent
Inspector Amy Scott took the call that day
A stabbing in Bondi Junction where she booked away
She ran to danger in brave duty then
Not knowing how the day would end
She confronted Cauci who

An Elegy for a Fallen Bridge: Baltimore’s Night of Tragedy
As night draped its cloak over Baltimore's sleeping form,
A cargo ship, the MV Dali, sailed to greet the dawn.
From the bustling harbor shores it had slipped away,
Bearing goods for far-off lands, under the sky's dark sway.
Two pilots steered the lumbering vessel, ‘cross the tranquil bay,
But fate, in ever sly and cunning ways, had its plans

The Baltimore Bridge Tragedy
The Baltimore Bridge Tragedy
copyright 2024 by jon gutmacher
The Francis Scott Key Bridge
was built with great care
but a ship took that bridge out
it’s no longer there
Over 100,000 tons and fully loaded
three football fields long
crashed into the bridge
and Man! did it fall
Crashed into the water
in seconds came down
cars, trucks, and the people
yeah – all of em
