My husband and I both yelp and groan
Chewing so hard now, there is a bit of foam

an extra day to cheer,
but its pretty dumb,
if your born on the last one,

Tear drops fall 
as i drink this alcohol. 
It takes my pain way 
as i sit here in shame. 

i feel so naked stripped to the bone. 
my skin just a bare show of flame.

Nothing more lovely than looking at doves

Who completly against his own will

Can you imagine him having a bone spur,

But still military  did not have to endure.

February Funny Bone

Don’t worry if your food contains fat,   
Can indulge after leaving your flat.   
Fat Tuesday is coming soon,   
You can feel like a balloon.
Just enjoy, and eat another stack.

Play It To the Bone

you play it to the bone
all ends against the middle
while you are laying back
we dance to your fiddle
always a new song
lyrics unrecorded
as you write each verse
you play against our hearts

The cult of the bone 
the bone
the bone
Chalky and porous and white
as a stone
crushed in a cauldron
in flames in a fire
brewed as a potion
to cure my desire.

Bone Chilling Night

Sijo 7

          bone chilling night I saw a man passing through the alley
          as if running away from inescapable something;
          becoming a dim shadow the man vanishes in the dark
