An addition is attractive; 
The car is loaded with extra, 
As the owner is creative.

In addition to subtracting 
Leaving less leaving nothing else again stil

White brick structures simply glisten.
Great spread ranches, nice addition.
Wine and cattle.
Peacful life with no bad friction.
Reins and saddle....

To get myself in good swimsuit condition

What do you get? 
When you cross a cross? 
With a plus sign,
You get what.
Addition or four-way stop;
And an added cross;
Octagon lost;

Burdened By What Has Been

Each moment
The addition of a trillion bits of information
Like compounding interest
On the rest of eternity

Family Mathematics

I was an only child
I had it ALL….
THEN…
The new addition showed up
My room was divided
my drawer space now minus two
because “they” chose to multiply.

Trump Needs Nutrition


We know what Trump needs is nutrition,
For all his attention as well as ambition;
Dumbness detection,
And mirror reflection;
In addition soul searching and suspicion.

Corn soup heated with some cheese sprinkled on
Plus the addition of some bread chunks thereupon
When I was a wee one
Held mum up with a gun
Kidding, 'twas a bow'n arrow, at times a wooden baton...

It’s the same deal with worker bees
A continuous addition, to completion
Shameful, that I keep tugging this loose thread
She's knitting for nothing
I think she knows too
Stubborn woman...

it waved at me
but i was not friqhtened by the gesture

the stallion red,
the flourescent white,
the unblemished blue,


now 
the lastest addition to the american dream, a newborn

in her own time will sing...

My heart shakes with joy,
My cheeks sheen superbly,
My eyes stressing out,
When i hold no gloom.

I set my life at a save pace,
Everything around at peace,
An unexpensive feedback to life,
In turn an addition to live....

Cosmological constant …
quintessence confounds
Supernovae as mileposts 
clear and profound
Addition subtraction
their delta expands
An orphan untethered
—the wind through the sand

Not asleep
with your arm
laying over my chest.
The stackers of
moments play a
symphony of muscle and bone.
I stay too long
on my hip and turn
to get my back on the bed.
Reminders
from the interior distance
decorate the night....

Though you’re the newest member of the Steve Miller Band Crowd,
You’re a wonderful addition… please keep that in mind.
Nothing but praise have your co-workers mentioned out loud.
They speak of you fondly and say that you are quite kind....

Some have wives
Who have turned them to wives
The daily chores are theirs
In addition to paying the dues
They dare not turn them down
Else they get the treatment of a clown
They are the terrors of their lives
The ones they call their wives....

Most kids learn basic math.
Mastering addition
Makes way for harder things!
Multiplying helps with
Money management and
Measuring while cooking.
More math than that . . . I'm lost!

There should be a special place
In one’s heart and mem’ry
For people who have brightened one’s life
In addition to friends and family


There’s a special place
In my heart and mem’ry
For two special and unique people
Like “Stan and Ollie.”
