in his day there tended to be blondes-to-go
now there’s Junior
apparently a frequent absentee for his daily nooner....

T-rumpers are thinking with glee
You're in Kentucky next week, golly gee 
Your vote you can't cast!
But this Thursday that passed
I filed my form absentee!...

ABSENTEE MOTHER

And the kid shaking his head,
side to side he cries with dread,
“Mom, mom, where are you?”
Cursing and boo hoos...
In haste, to fountain she fled!

  An absentee parent's no parent at all
    Kids will run wild, they'll have a ball

  All the rules of the home will soon be forgotten
    Without any guidance, a kid's future is rotten...

Far too many of these absentee fathers believe that they can plant a seed and harvest 
a decent crop (child) without ever hoeing a row or pulling a weed (having any 
involvement in their lives)....

The day is long
My attention's short
I've no energy to cavort

Business isn't done
I'm ready to quit
Time feels like a bottomless pit

I'm physically here
Mind - absentee
I shouldn't have drank the caffeine-free...

I need some me-time,
Let things be-time,
Burden-free-time
To unwind.

But such flee-time,
Absentee-time,
Filled with glee-time
I can’t find.

So my plea, time,
Please agree, time;
Or you’ll see, time,
I’ll lose my mind....

they lost Cassandra, their girl child on a breezy autumn day
I have looked all over said her worried absentee Daddy Jay
Her mother asked where are the cats? They will show you the way
Cassandra was under the bed, reading a book on this happy Tuesday....

Vow I take, triumph I foresee
Verbal promise, clear-cut, precise 
Volition has my guarantee
Values changed, new contempt for vice
Virtue's purpose is verified 
Vision refocused, clarified
Vacillation is absentee

How convoluted love may be
When you are an absentee 
Falling in a pensive state
Only to re-create...
Enchantment from a clear conclusion
Contemplating fiery fusion
Though there they are with love by side
Never really satisfied
Clearly in a pensive mood
Recovering from a feud
Hence my love I do condemn
For I wouldn't wanna be them...

They were all briskly heading 
For a full member's wedding
With an attached harsh Levy
Only too fittingly heavy
For The Careless Absentee,
Who had stayed back like a tree;
Not The Dying at that time, 
For that is Poor Health's own crime
A New Couple for wild cheer
While not skipping pleasing beer;
Charles and Eve watch as they join
And their church leave as one loin!...

A doer was seeking 
a physical thing
in this age of carnality.

Truth falls on your 
path when you become 
an absentee.

Take a break from
the silent assaults. Do 
not go for a dirty play.

I will not do any 
commerce with the paid
style of the omnivores.

The soil does not need 
any weapons. It was 
always under your feet.

I will wait for a disaster
to happen.

Poverty of thoughts
beats you endlessly.
What  was the other form of violence ?

Body of water bursts.
There was an absentee lover 
trying to overtop the levee.

Pounding of chest
was figurative.
Someone was dying of hunger.

It was a great paradox.
The eagle was rising
for a sudden dive.

Labyrinthine. An intricate
argument. From which-
side will come the death ?

A man put dynamite in a can
Just because that's where he stuck it
Dan came along and kicked the can
And also, he kicked the bucket!

Stopped by Walmarts manager, I asked
"So what dress code, do, you impose?"
He said, "We don't care what you wear,"
"But you do have to wear some clothes!"

In school they defined harassment 
The day I was an absentee
So when I was asked to use it
I said, "Harassment a lot to me!"...

In a world where no one ever seems to smile for free.
Your eyes color hues; keep doing the trick for me
I will always vote for you in person, never absentee
In my eyes I see your reflection, I am smiling back for free.
Even if we don't know the lyrics to the song, sway back and forth with me
For on my ballet you are cast with all my sensuality
It costs nothing to you, my muse, this poem to you is free....

I wonder how you read my thought and have my very feel. 
I envy what you see and how you make it real. My heart
Fears your boldness is not in me. I urge it still to fly
Above fear. Thy true skill still amazes me and I pray
Time makes me the master of thee, because I practice
Thy every deed and never was I an absentee, for 
My heart purposed to be great. Time shall birth my courage yet
In all I will not deny that you are my dream fulfilled....

To make love before we depart,
For our mind’s memories sake;
Let’s make love for the last time,
Where love you give and I take.

Let’s strip naked one last time,
We are both old and weary;
After all these years together,
Lucent years and also dreary.

Before we say goodbye let’s unite,
In the unity of affection and sensuality;
To remember the wonderful days,
Before one of us is an absentee. 

To make love before we go away,
For surely unexplored is doomsday....

A flaming red sun cast purple
Against the foggy morn.
A pale gray sky now awakened
By sunlight and adorned

The symphony in the valley
Rises swiftly 'pon cool air
Unmatched by Mockingbird's singing
Then Crows take up their dare

Back and forth the melodies sound
They entertain one soul
While most run and race about life
Trying to gain control

The bright illuminance shines forth
As the sun tops the trees
Another day has begun its 
March, night an absentee   ...

My aunt, who’s nearly 88
And grandson, not yet 3,
Enjoyed a lovely afternoon
With age an absentee.

She watched him playing basketball
And cheered his every shot,
Then helped him catch the balls she tossed,
Which he enjoyed a lot.

His sister, at a crawling state, 
Indulged in all the fun,
Despite the fact her walking days
Have not, as yet, begun.

Observing from the sidelines
I was happy in my heart
Seeing such a sweet connection
Though they’re years and years apart....

My freshman reading list is
    Thomas Payne, Marx, Engels, Lenin, Trotsky
  The prof is not one to pitschky-potschky  

  The leaders to be studied will be
    Elijah Muhammed, Stalin, Castro, Marx, and Xi
  I wonder why A.H. is an absentee

  O, I get it -- Good things come in fives
    USA, Russia, China, Cuba and Syria
  Nazi Germany too busy taking lives

  Looking forward to an action-packed semester
    in this new course called ~
  'Proud Traditions of our Ancestors'...

The night it is barren
from inland to the sea
but I am the one who loves you
you are not alone.

Tonight the sky is empty
stars fall in the sea
I am the light to guide you
do not wish to be alone.

If the world becomes deserted
all eyes you see are sad
I will smile for you
you will never be alone.
 
Sleeping I dreamed you
awake I keep dreaming
I dream because you love me
and I am not alone.

It is sometimes madness
a longing absentee
call it love
and we are not alone......
