Ya'll know Frustantien
Yeah aint he the one
who wife left him
while he was getting
a root canel.
I heard she took to the doctor
dropped off
and while he was there had the
moving company come
and pack up
and took her stuff to
a new place
and aint tell him nothing.
Nah, I heard he got emplants
and she said
she didn't like him smiling
up in woman faces first
cause he stopped doing that
while he was snagger-toothed
but the thought of
going thought that again,
she just couldn't do it.
He told me she became a birdliked creature
and flew him
to a polluted lake
where he turn to stone
and she flew him back and dropped
him to earth
where he shattered to stone.
Well anyway, I heard that he and
his wife were getting back together
she moved back in a coouple days ago.
They some nasty people, bet she
been out there doing God knows what
with any ole body:
We know he is!
(Laughing they changed the subject to something else)
My sensible heart
It keeps me alive
My head commands me -
There’s no other way out
When everything crumbles
When I'm lost
I think I’ll never be found
My sensible heart
It keeps me alive
My life starts to unravel
My head starts to spiral
My faults start to surface
I want everything to - stop
but
My sensible heart
It keeps me alive
Sensible Flower
Butterfly on the flower,
A red rose follower,
A dripping dawn’s dew,
Sorting a day anew.
A buzzing sound of a bee,
Like waves in the sea.
Flower in the field,
Where honey is made.
In wild fields,
Where nature nurtures its seeds.
The yellow color from sunrise,
The morning is like paradise.
Red roses rise in green grasses,
The land is not barren but filled with grace.
Flowers are everywhere!
Flowers here, flowers there.
Rain falls down fairly often,
Birds as pollinators bind the pollen.
The sky smiles with excitement,
As clean oxygen migrates in contentment.
The roots are getting older,
Flowers are still fodder.
Make sure you do not need the toilet before stepping into a lift.
If you drop something pick it up before a packrat or a magpie sees it.
A good book is always worth having when in a waiting room,
Waiting for a bus or train,
Or outside a clothes shop waiting for a partner or friend,
To finish trying on everything in the shop.
Learn animal sign language,
For early warning of Earthquakes, floods and twisters.
Make a list of everything you give for free to the charity shop,
So you do not end up buying some or all of the items back.
Be prepared to make a run for it if you hear the words,
"Is this of any use to you".
Check potential partners for signs of hoarding.
When you child says but Dad,
Always best to stop what you are doing,
As chances are you are about to make a dumb mistake,
That can be used against you for years.
Always have a pencil in your pen drawer,
As finding a pen that works,
When you need one is never a given.
Planning a trip ahead of time,
Leaves more hair on your head.
I've always loved you
despite the objections raised,
Will you mother my love child?
I am forever
grateful my love, but marry
me I will mother your child.
All weathermen cried, "This just isn't fair,"
When groundhog refused to exit his lair
Because he had heard,
Up here is absurd
And face this weird world, he's too scared to dare.
Dying is not the finale of everything
is simply going back to origin
where it all began
with greater spiritual baggage
If we lived and learned here...
When you hear
the refrigerator hum
flourescent bulbs buzz,
door hinges squeak
and meet a ghost in the hallway
if that's what you seek...
Then your daytime senses
starved for information
have chosen to dwell
in your Imagination
there is an exact moment
pure transparency
life explodes contentment
where the time is not made...
because time stops...
blissfully !
The handed instruction was ‘Within two hours’
Purchase two arresting flowers
With an overpowering scent
For A Heart pitiably rent
And a head sorrowfully bent …
And dutifully I went,
From head to toe A Gent
But back with flowers lent,
But for the same purpose meant;
The handed money with me,
The Nice Flowers for Free!
And to my person
It was no dent
But not to Embittered Carson,
Who speedily asked for Mr. Kent
And on the same errand sent
With a warning to be not as lenient
“To build a house, not pitch a tent”
I’d proved A Reincarnation of King Saul
The Not Sensible: Only Tall.
