Shazam

It’s always dark

Abracadabra

Abracadabra

Say Abracadabra, Ala kazam
Jette with Bibity Bobity Boo!
Array a wish that your heart makes
Displays Hocus-Pocus! Poof! Magic comes true!

Open wide Seasame – first star to the right –
Reopen happy thoughts for magical things
Tokens of pennies fly from wizard’s wands
Spoken Shazam - Presto Chango on wings!

Fun: A New Way To Sell Your Poetry

Eureka, Shazam, the moment just came, 
The moment came out of the blue, 
Where all that I’ve written from deep down inside, 
Can finally come into view,

I can speak out each poem like a poetry slam, 
Poems you’d speak to the moon,
And digitize each on the new record app, 
Then distort it to make it in tune,

And to give it some funk I’d add an organ, 
And drums to accompany my voice,
Yep, a poem with some instruments to support what is said, 
A jazz sort of melodious noise,

Oh wait, hang on, this isn’t something new, 
Poems with some symphonic jam,
It’s what I hear on the radio each day, 
It’s a song that is sung by a band.

Heckboy

Censorship’s alive and well
In Dickson, Tennessee,
Whose Roxy Theater advertised
Upon its proud marquee:

“Heckboy,” playing there beside
Both “Dumbo” and “Shazam.”
Of course, there’s no such movie
And that title is a sham.

The owner thinks profanity
Should not be on the sign,
So “Hellboy” was a name that she
Decided to refine.

To me, there’s not much difference
In those words; they’re neck and neck,
But such censorship implies this country’s
On its way to Heck.

Coke Is It

Thirsty? I
wonder,
well I’ll
pop my
top. I’ll
hiss and
you’ll sigh
the fun just
won’t stop. I’d
like to teach the
world to sing, really
it’s no joke. For I’m the 
pause that refreshes, yup
Coca-Cola is Coke! Good to 
the last drop, you know it’s 
true.  The best combination
Is Red, White and You!  Coke 
adds to life wherever you are. 
Just have a Coke and shazam,
you’re a star. I am as pure as
 sunlight for all folks see; your
passport to refreshment; so
just what will it be. Let me
share a wee secret there’s
no need to be coy. Just 
open a Coke, then sit 
back and ENJOY. I’m
the favorite drink for all 
sorts of folks. You just can’t 
deny it, things go better with 
Coke. And you  can’t beat the 
feeling;  so don’t throw a fit. 
When you’re feeling Thirsty,
Look to me, COKE IS IT!

Shazam

Jim Nabors always said "Shazam", that was his catchphrase.
Because of his contributions to television, he deserves praise.
It was hard for him to watch the opening credits of Gomer Pyle because many of those Marines died in Vietnam.
We always know that he's on Gomer Pyle or the Andy Griffith Show when we hear him say "Shazam".
We also remember him yelling "Citizen's Arrest".
All of his fans are sad and they're also depressed.
He also starred in some movies, two of which were Cannonball Run 2 and Stroker Ace.
His friends, fans and family have to say goodbye, his death is hard for them to face.

(Dedicated to Jim Nabors who died at the of 87 on November 30, 2017.)

Fur Ball

Bedazzled
that's how it hits you
all important WHAP SLAP look at that
coloured lights bling
and place your faith in
fixation on yet another political criminal

Bedazzled
shazam
sham or scam
will save you as you walk through
the plagiarized passages of doubt
yep
for sure
there is a way out
and a place to place your faith
in a tangle ball of wool
the felonious cats have played with

Chew yourself on that dry hairy fur ball

Claws of rhetoric
BAM WAP WOW
dazzles sycophantic
tells you every-think you think you want to hear
and put all your trust here, there, everywhere
and chomp on the placebo
of yet another political criminal

Different face
same photo-fit voice
burbling, fur-balling, the same old words
your introduction into their criminal world
KAPOW KABANG
bedazzled
and you're falling for it all over again 
the collusive world
destroying the lives of every single human
     
Chew yourself on that dry hairy fur ball

Make a Wish

MAKE A WISH


A wish for all the wishes that I wish
remove them from the murky field of doubt
make them come true with magic wands quick swish
awaken to the fairies sunrise shout
“SHAZAM!  Now that’s what I’m talking about!!”

The Cafe

The Cafe

In my favourite café, the one
where nobody asks my name,
or who I am, or try to sell me 
their postcards, or the latest 
shazam!

 I sit quiet, and write and make 
believe, and sometimes watch 
the flies, being, the flies on the wall, 

and wonder what it’s like to be 
that small, with compound eyes 
and a long proboscis…
I’ll never know.

But today outside, lies my muse,
a rusty old motorbike, a step through, 
from the old days, red with a tin, cream 
trim.

Pigs on the back today? Maybe steel? 
Whatever pays the best; maybe a calf 
tomorrow?

But it’s not mine…no; it’s the little
guy’s, who lives across from me, in
the house with the dogs and the 
parrot, and the green tin shutters. 

And the bird; the parrot, mimics and 
swears at passersby, who; turning, 
scowl, then walk on. 

And with the dogs, the parrot, the 
flies and the guy, who by the way is 
quite thin, I focus on the red and 
cream tin motorbike, and try and 
write therein.

Simon Cowell's Culinary Critique

Thanks for the average dinner last night
It wasn't exactly a culinary delight
It wasn't that nice but it wasn't that vile
That it made me so sick or bring up some bile
It just lacked flavour, finesse or shazam
The chops were bland, I think they were lamb
The mash was lumpy with minimal seasoning
Now please stop crying, with you there's no reasoning
I've told you before now I'll tell you again
I am the judge of all women and men

Superman Confesses

Superman Confesses

By Elton Camp

At last the truth has come out
What Superman was really about

Pressure he was under was severe
To be the very best superhero here

Captain Marvel had help of Shazam
“My power’s enhanced & here I am”

Batman had help of riches galore
To be more than he was before

Spiderman had science to his aid
With that help, he had it made

So poor Superman just had to hedge
Use something that gave him an edge

Performance-enhancing drugs he found
Let him be the strongest hero around

A mixture of every type he did try
Until he found that it let him fly

Such drug use he tried to deny
Until Lois Lane gave it the lie

The facts he decided he’d confess
So to the good Oprah did address

“I’m sorry that I did such wrong
I had to do it to be that strong”

Plain Speak

Blizzards!, My Gizzards!, 

This Blustering Bloke,

 Keeps Mustering Mayhems With Words That He Spoke,

 Great Snakes!, Eureka! and Holy Cow! Too, 

Crimey! and Gadzooks! and A Tempestuous Toodle-Doo!,

 Shazam! and Golly Willikers! with a Pinch of Vamoose!

 Scram!, Gosh Damn!, and a Final Sacre Bleu!

Indulgences

I've learned the error of my ways
That buying ice cream never pays

I sit and eat the whole shazam
Well what a little pig I am!

And donuts are another joy
I shouldn't have because oh boy!

I can't pass up a cream filled one
Trust me,the bellyache's no fun

Don't start me up on cheesecake dear
I can't control myself it's clear

So I will have to contemplate
The fruits and veggies I just ate

They'll keep me healthy that's for sure
But celery doesn't have the lure

Of sugar-laden fantasy
I'm stuffing chocolate-let me be!
