Short Buzz Saw Poems

tiny buzz saw whining in my right ear
alerts me to the pinch that will soon be coming
why do mosquitos always warn you?
I try to slap it away, but it keeps coming,
and my hand misses it.
Ouch!...

A Texas teacher defends U.S. law
   Igniting social media's buzz-saw
Some claims she's racist and mean
   Others toward patriotism lean

Thank God we still have folks who know 
how to do stuff,
not talking-heads and poets
who just believe in words;

Super sleuth detective ghost cat kept her ideas to herself.
Her sidekick, ghostly ghost’s eyes wandered down every shelf.

" How do you do?" "My name is Merl."
I'm not a tree rat; I'm a squirrel.
To hunters, I'm screamin,

but your attic looks better to me.
A fight? It's your call.
I'm a little buzz saw.
Remember; nuts are my favorite treat!
