Frogs peeing diesel on them 
Stop burning from birth

Sour Diesel
Train wreck
OG Kush
New strains pop
Everyday in my brain
Rolling and smoking like a train...

Well he was smoking
The stream that came
From his mouth
Looked like the exhaust
From a fast moving 
Trailways diesel bus...

A diesel fitter was on twitter,
He said, "We make leggings with glitter!"
When they are done
He is the one
Who then says, "Oh yeah, diesel fitter!"...

On air or water - Diesel power, on Earth
Electric engine car is better and gas,
People can move only with tea and juice - not vodka, let us drink Kvas!...

Lovers huddle close.
Rain smacks the dusty pavement.
Commuters bustle,
Seeking refuge in doorways.
Diesel fumes, cigarette smoke,
Intoxicate the bus queue....

Grover Deaver drove his diesel down to Dover--
Down to Dover in the state of Delaware.
I told Grover that his rig was overloaded,
But Grover Deaver said he didn't care....

Plagued by gas attacks was Willy Weasel
  His tummy churned from frequent upheaval ~
     Then Willy got a hot tip
     Try this stuff, just take a sip ~
  Willy learned weasels can't stomach diesel...

Blazing flames of wild rage
   burning heart like a coal.
Bold abusive curses
      boiling blood like diesel.
Blatant hot arguments
   broiling brains into fumes.
Brawl ends with rued ashes!

Face well worn, Graying hair,
Marlboro in his mouth.

Clay-dirt boots, dusty hat,
Bologna from a sack.

Tastes of nicotine and diesel,
he can’t spit it out.

The old man makes his living 
on a caterpillars back....

Haiku
The cock crows at four
I listen to its keen caw
Then sleep till eight 

The farmer is up
Starts his infernal tractor
I smell diesel fume

At eleven o`clock
The fishmonger`s white van tootles 
Soon it will be lunch...

Here lies Mary Louise Anne Spencer Deligne
She met her end where two roads align
She couldn’t stop her diesel in time,
Hit an eighteen-wheeler carrying lime
Buried her here, she was in her prime

one mile before the junction
where the fast trains start to slow
a stretch of track lies sleeping
where the grass and brambles grow.

it may have seen life's wheels of steam
and tasted diesel too
but time moves on and overgrowth
now hides it from our view....

Atmosphere pollutants
smog
diesel fuel smells
frantic lights
telephone pole 
butterflies and moths spirals
flutters and floats
747's jet helicopter circling it
sparkling, twinkling, planets and stars
Somethings in the air!!!

Need More Power


                 Chasing a red light, cutting a corner, speeding like a devil,

                 does not win races if the engine still guzzles up diesel fuel!

Diesel spray for Christmas
Butt-face bar of soap for birthday, it's no small joke
On isthmus

They laughed out loud
Though on emotions 'bout to choke
You're ploughed

Watch out!
Charma evokes.
Flout~
     
Diesel spray for Christmas
Though on emotions 'bout to choke

slimy concrete.
diesel smoke.
November turned brown.

she stands
slumped and uncertain
and overly burdened.

a cold wind.
a distant whistle echoes.
a rumbling underneath.

the mighty Engine pulls up through crumpled earth.

the too-young mother asks sweetly:
are you ready Leona?
the little girl smiles
and twists on the balls of her feet....

you've got religion on your breath
and existentialism hanging in your closet
politically correct
cannabis vapor
give me purple diesel
or give me death star
some mental exercises
for longer life
and longer eyelashes
taste another green world
vegan parmesan cheese
saved by zen medicine
and rapid weight loss
philosophy isn't books, honey
it's a skin care offer...

Life Is A Brothel


Life is a brothel she says
Zipping ten centimetres up the crotch of her
Diesel jeans

How many jobs do you have to take to remove your nose
from the rotten-egg stench;  how many chances do you have to give
the adjustable lighting
to sweep away for you the connections
to breath-gaps?

With software the devil possessed
They've outsmarted EPA's test
So avoid the behind
Don't inhale near the hind
Of Volkswagen's diesel “skunk” pest


Author's note:  A case for more, not less, federal regulation.  This is an example of what is wrong with underfunded federal agencies and our reliance on self-certification.  Meanwhile, what happened to all that carcinogenic air?...

They drop, unmoored, 
into the wind of oblivion
Breathing the rusty dust
Of charcoal coated days
Burned by the bleeding heat
Of icy nights, in cement tents
With the drum of diesel wheels
Their lone lullaby
In the fangs of feral shadows 
They scrape their survival
Off the ground of disregard
Yesterday's washed away
In acid rain
Tomorrow's as thin
As cellophane.
