The man went out on a limb
To hire his best friend Kim
Who was dingy as hell
He couldn’t even spell
Put his signature name as Jim...

Unlovable
I am unlovable
If we are the sum of all our parts
I am unlovable
My parts are broken
Dark and dingy and twisty
The sum of my parts are jagged
And I am unlovable...

City Dove
The dingy grey city dove
Poops on us from high above
We’d like to give'm a quick shove
Smack'm with an old golf club
Bury'm beneath a shrub

the last customer again
Red neon which looks lovely at four o’clock in the afternoon
Somehow seemed dingy at twelve-thirty; he was the last customer
bartender gave him a nod, and a sympathetic look...

Miser's Wife
On a hill top, lived a man so stingy
Though wealthy, his house was very dingy
When his wife asked for money
He would chortle- 'No Honey'
Tired, fled with her lover on a pony...

A Row Of Ducks
An ignorant duck breeder with a moat
Put off repairing his dingy to float
And he doesn’t yet know
Getting his ducks in a row
Means more than getting his ducks in a row-boat

Only Weirds and Odd Balls
Only Weirdos and Odd Balls
Wirdos and odd balls Trump represent;
Those in jail for time short or long stint;
Have hair stringy,
Or totally dingy
Only ones who he could obtain consent.

Virulent and Vascilating Vibe
Virulent and Vascilating Vibe
From somewhere in sky dropped a scribe,
Who had been with virulent, vacillating vibe;
Green beans stringy,
And somewhat dingy;
As to what he said and will always ascribe.

Some of ?? water your drinkin;
Just short of dirty dingy-stinkin;
Wise old owl ball headed shavin;
Goats and chickens wrestling, misbehavin;

Dingy At Sea
The fog can be a lonely place
When you’re a dingy out at sea
With only the sounds to guide you
No lights, no landmarks, no breeze.
Separated from land and shore,
When you’re a dingy out at sea
You are a vessel without a mooring,
A daunting thing to be...

Clueless
Each night a challenge:
suffocative restlessness
sleepless spirits’ noise
sexual starvation
anal menstruation
dingy subconscious
conspire behind closed eyes
absent healing and
wishful miracles
a clueless sun rises
bugging time and life

Apple Sand
to time the rhyme or range of orange
when to smile and when to cringe
nothing fits but on the fringe
yet I find red yellow wonder
defining moments to unhinge
My orange dingy dinghey
the cold sea it's under
icily swelling nicely
A weighted wait
To float a boat...

Skeleton Head
Ever wonder what
Is inside the dingy head
Of a skeleton
Is there a cold mushy brain
Maybe it’s just candy corn
Could be eroded
From the long days under ground
A dissolving state
He’s a spoiled creature living
With a small decaying brain

While at the zoo spunky, sticky, stinky monkey gives whiskey to the donkey

Stingy, Stingy
~Stingy, Stingy~
There once was a poet named
Stingy,
Who loved only himself, what a
pathetic, lost dingy!
One day, poor, lost soul, fell on his
self-centered duff.
Furious that 34 comments were
simply, not enough!

I do not know?
Sam
Sam.
smoky dingy café,
workmen shout and curse.
She floats among the tables
tending like a nurse, pauses
when she sees me, breaks
into a smile then skips behind
the counter, lingers for a while.
Keeps chatting while she's
serving, shedding all her
pain… then, when
I am leaving,
she becomes
a nurse again...

Autumn Tree
strong green leaf on tree
all the time breeze dingy seeps
the green cooling wind
~
brightness sun taking
away the greenery from
green to brown orange red
~
the fluorescent green
evergreen spring summer green
leafs is dying dead

Art of Ivan Albright
Art of Ivan Albright
I hear a death rattle
feel gloom
despise grayscale-ness
flat black paint kind of background
lecherous guy
creepy skeletal hands
craggy face
shirt looks dingy, dirty, smudged
tablecloth is dank, dour, dusty,
grays and blacks, morose, macabre
I run from his art, screaming pink and orange....

Find Me In Six - Lost and Found
Lost and Found
Find me in the shadow of life’s archway
waiting…’neath the grey of dingy art work
pressed into the dark of passing's moment,
wilted roses held limply in old hands
clinging to the sounds of lovers voices
whispering to the darkness – “Please….find me.”.
