Booty Shakers
He said 'owwww'
as she said 'ouchhh'.
On a Saturday night.
'Cause back in the day they could hit the dance floor,
leaving others grinning , taking notes of their steppin' toes.
As the effortless sway from side to side,
made them smile,
music just right,
jamming throughout the night.
The DJ was spinning records from the beginning,
to the ending,

risque salt and pepper shakers
My salt and pepper shakers were risqué
Shaking their booties night and day
I told my husband to put them away
It was his mother who thought they were gay
I brought my boss home for dinner last Tuesday
Those nasty shakers were dirty dancing away
I said to my husband please take them to Kay
That is his mother, who thought

Movers and Shakers
Echoes of their squalling,
finally interferes with my slumber.
Opening my eyes,
to see the pensive faces of the ladened.
And my ears,
to the ear-splitting shrill of the piteous.
Showing me their greatest fears,
Slowing becoming reality before their eyes.
I have seen for myself,
brothers smothering one another.
As a new era seeks recognition,
Iniquity impetuously taking its position.
Tardily becoming the order of the

Salt and Pepper Shakers
There's this break room—
Where I work, of course—
That holds three microwaves,
one refrigerator, a stove,
and two vending machines.
All cannot be younger than
Five years at the earliest.
This break room is tiled
But rather dirty despite
Monthly scrubbing and mopping.
I and my coworkers—
Most Guatemalans and
Salvadorans, but there is a
Single Mexican—eat here,
Our bags of chips, fruits,
microwavable nonperishables—;
A couple of ladies

The Movers and Shakers
It’s up to us movers and shakers in this world
to get things done that need doing.
You and I know full well that others will sit still and wait,
for us to get the old pot stewing.
The movers and shakers are lonely at the top,
but that is their residence by choice.
It is they who get things done

Shakers and Stirrers
SHAKERS AND STIRRERS
To illuminate the extraordinary goings-on
in our so tense and deeply twilit terrestrial sphere,
it is necessary to take a long and unhurried
celestial view, one stemming from the stars as it were.
As a bare minimum, observers should note the presence
of a perhaps quite small number of shakers and stirrers,
mixers maybe, groups of men

Before the Shakers Seat,
Good early intent
echo of upright morals
subtle shaded later days
(reality counts)
in debt and in pride
shadowed regret and sadness
