Served with Love
Delicate heart of mine I served silver plattered,
As I watched it get sundered and shattered,
I thought it swayed your palate gladder,
But you said it could flavor a little better.

Justice Served in Blue and White
Part I: "Shadow of Intent"
Beneath the blaze of summer skies—
A couple met by fate;
She lived where marble towers rise,
While he bore fortune's weight.
His lady, clad in blue-white dress—
He walked a stranger's path;
A train carved through the wilderness
Towards her manor's

Justice Is Served
That guy with a head like an orange melon
is once and for all a convicted felon.
The verdict, beyond a shadow of a doubt,
was guilty on not one but thirty-four counts.
Judging from that chump's expression,
he might go into a deep depression.
We certainly won't hear any confession.
He'll claim that he's a victim of oppression.
For him, it's all

My Dresser Served Me Tea
I live in a magical house with my cats, He and She.
They love me to pieces and give me some glee.
Yesterday at a quarter before ten until three
My dresser gave a bow and served me some tea.
The windows of the house are crisp, clean, and free.
Of cobwebs and dust, they truly do not reflect me.
I

Dedicated To Those Who Served
Dedicated To Those Who Served
And Those Who Prayed
Miracle Man
2/10/2024
We can’t undo one thing we have done,
at best, we can try to make amends.
Things once seen can’t be unseen, not one.
once filed in our past that’s where it ends.
We never forget the stench of war,
or why we were selected to go.
Forced to do things that we

The Missus Served Me High Test Coffee
The missus served me high test coffee...
Ah... tis nothing more heavenly
(to one borne again devout atheist)
then a spring like January 18th, 2023
here at Highland Manor apartments
picturesque green covered landscape,
where intrepid dandelions
dare to defy month day on calendar
and sprout up here and there.
Resident wordsmith ensconced within Unit B44.
Actually both of us situated in bedroom;

A world once served by gods and heroes
Now gets by with ones and zeros.

Wife Material
Wife material
"We are looking for wife material right now," he says
I laugh a little
"Yeah, wife material," he seconds
I laugh bemused and look at them both ironically
He pulls me by my jersey
He makes me stand in front him
And starts pinning my buttons from up to bottom
"What wife material?" I ask
"Somebody who can do the dishes," he

Justice Served
When is justice done you say
As arguments considered don’t go away
Is it a lawyer’s picnic that we see
Or is it something that was meant to be
So we are left to ponder now
What do we believe within our know how
Does it become a race for the best experts
With no thought of who is left to

A Colossus Part 2dedicated To All Who Served and All Who Are Serving Our Country
Take care of her
Keeping toes and ties off the ground
Beware of those with savage intent
To draw her down
Beware those of quisling heart
Who seek only to pillage then plunder her
All those faces leering, cajoling, jeering then cheering
Distant recollections surface
Unwinding their purpose
A catalogue of misadventure
THEIR venom put upon YOU
As they race towards their judgmental

He Served He Fed His Fellow Man-
Early 1940s
13 years before my birth
On the seas
during World War II
My father served as a Navy chef
That's when the waves
Did wave
And the banners windley gauge
Sailor at sea served his country and his seamen
Alas!
13 years later
As a husband and father he served
Sailor chef my father he fed me
