Charming feline with airs of nobility
Agile this olympian contender
Tomfoolery being its main specialty

A clatter in the backyard
quickly got my attention.
Curious to see what was happening
I rushed to look out my patio door
and saw a scurry of noisy squirrels.
I'd hung a new bird feeder,
tauntingly, just out of reach,
and they were not having any of it.
Amused by their hijinks shenanigans,
I sat in a chair and began to watch.
Failing to

SHENANIGANS 

Shenanigans and hullabaloos of the Westerners worsens our sins in this societal ruins, 
washing-in it's wastes and wildness with unrest
just like Amazon delivering parcels with its crest. 
The thief with the aim to survive hunger got an arrest
but corrupt wealthy well paid politicians goes for free,
Others hoard or pilfer treasure troves from every tree.
Neither

Shenanigans and poppycock -
         the wild wood with unrest.
Will amazon deliver the chest

of acorns and walnuts before Winter sets?
On their “I” phones, those with bushy tails
don’t want to work            for nibbles. Kips,

after a long, long, long

Richman Shenanigans

How is it my fault that I took a leap of faith 
Like any naive girl in townships looking for good life
I mixed with wrong people who promised me soft life in Dubai 
Excitement journeyed my mind to things I can buy
Little did I know I was sold a lie

Girls are labeled slay queens to

There was a lad known for his shenanigans,
Who completed each act with such naughty grins.
He leaned backward all alone,
To kiss the old Blarney Stone!
That limestone-lipped lad known for shenanigans.

here becomes there if one adds a T
and where when one adds a W
and zher, which is ‘here’ in Mandarin  
if one removes an E and adds a Z
which rhymes with V
though some pronounce it Zed
which rhymes with Ted
which brings us back to T 
almost nothing rhymes with W
but I really want to do

redundant stories
way out from left field
old yarns and tales rehashed
selective memories
of a past we won’t let go

wasted time and opportunities
killing time that should be precious
ongoing whining about getting old
aches and pains the topics of choice

you want to roll your eyes
stupid things come out of our mouth
getting upset over trite slights
the clash of personalities
feuding just for

1 2 3 we go,
they said I've got some ego
so we went to Shiloh
to in porous prayer wallow
priest then took me to an hollow
he said I must purge my sorrow
and then forgiveness to borrow
that again I can be made whole

After all the shenanigans, he sat me down
he said what we were about to do would

Vapidity

Woe betide lower men who fickle facades embrace
And wit’s hard-won gold for shifting dross exchange; 
Dubbing avarice-sired glosses exquisite gems pure,
With obscuring eyes decimating solid worth's range.

With their own ears they cannot first-hand hear,
And gauge if wild grapevines solid realities say;
There's always standard hearsay in each sphere,
That defines world’s weightier subjects of the day. 

It's

Mine Deplorable Shenanigans Trumped

I don got nothing but terrible
reviews bruited about
dip pressing field day
me (Lothario wannabe) 
trumpeted execrable lout,
a garden variety baby

boomer father without doubt,
his own shameful paternal
shenanigans cavalierly he did flout
dwarfed teapot dome scandal,
thus one look no further,

or send out a scout
herewith infractions distilled,
though personally, I strongly advise
ye to go trout
fishing in America,

with a master bait
tour and/or

Black Friday - More Holiday Shenanigans

~Black Friday~

With the turkey out of the way
It's time to do some shop and save
Black Friday...here we go again

I am up at three o'clock
So I'll be at the door on the dot
Shopping like a mad whirlwind

Pulling up to Walmart
Grab myself a fresh shopping cart
For when the doors open up at five

Like a horse out of

Tofurkey- Holiday Shenanigans

After all these many carnivore years
You can call it guilt or you can call it fear
I've made up my mind to decide
I'm going vegan this November time

So I broke down hard and read some books
Heard some tapes on what it took
From veggies steamed to veggies raw
From beans of green to yellow squash

As my nightly dreams
