Mom gave me it.
A last moment thing,
as if I gave a flit
about silly customs.
Yet, for my daughter
it's preserved... ****!

POEM OF COMPRESSION
9/23/13
POLICE BRUTALITY MAY BE CAUSED
BY THEIR STORM TROOPER UNIFORMS AND ACCOUTREMENTS
DRESS THEM IN NUN’S HABITS WITH A ROSARIES AND
THEY MAY SHOW MORE COMPASSION
DRESS THEM IN A CLOWN’S OUTFIT WITH BIG SHOES AND
THEY MAY SHOW MORE HUMILITY
DRESS THEM AS GOD
AND THEY MAY LOOK OVER HUMANITY
AS THEY SHOULD
The trees are sporting finery
I've not seen in a year,
In just the nick of time before
The month of May is here.
They aren't fully decked out yet;
Accoutrements await,
But slowly they're preparing
As if going on a date.
Their branches draped in color now,
They preen and bide their time
'Til filled with fruit and flowers
They'll be fully in their prime.
From George Washington’s Rules of Civility and Decent Behavior:
#54 Play not the Peacock, looking everywhere about you,
to see if you be well decked…
JONESES JETSET
Maude, she did pile her accoutrements high
upon her head - peacock-in-style. So sly,
she looked up and down
with thumbs up or frown.
This fashion afficionada spies.
