Who loved the Fresno Valley.

When Donald Trump was told to go
A yellow arc froze in the snow
Trump's yellow streak
Was quite a leak
But Donald dubbed it, "Best of Show"!

A new basketball player in the gym
Was at once by all dubbed Very Tall Jim.
Give him the ball,
Very bad call,
Dribbling in Jim hit his head on the  rim.

One late night as Tipper danced with him
The thought came by chance
As they freestyle danced
Initially dubbed "Al Gore Rhythm!"

 And wasn't  seen again until spring!

Nexum

Titling a poem
 or naming a child

Which process harder
  the future beguiled

“A Rose Is A Rose ...”
till maybe it’s not

Called do they answer
— once dubbed and begot

Pre-Ordained

If every day to matter
If every moment counts
If every word to chant and sing
If every phrase be stout
If every coin pound sterling
If every debt marked paid
If every feeling dubbed divine
  —salvation pre-ordained

(Villanova Pennsylvania: September, 2016)

Incident

Not natural, this repose.
The others act at playing
in the sea. Dubbed-in laughter.
Who gave the ending away?

Cue sunset. Slow, moribund.

I think of darkness to come,
of blood and sharp cutting things.
And that large thrashing horror
just now breaking the surface.

Dr.John In the Morning

A little too early in the day
to listen to 
  this New Orleans "fonk"
   I must wake up  - 
and after all isn't 
  he dubbed "The Night Tripper"?
he rocks on 
   through the years
Poor New Orleans
   it fell prey 
to nature's wiles
   It must have been "the right place - wrong time"!

Premium Member Marvin Gaye


  Dubbed "The Prince Motown." Late, great soul singer Marvin Gaye
 Brought "Sexual Healing." His star shone as bright as a noon sunray.

  In song asked "What's going on?": life cut short by estranged father.
Hit-making behemoth, he'd be even bigger had his career gone farther.

Premium Member Bugs Bunny and Yosemite Sam

Bugs Bunny 
Was smart, witty and funny
His tag line was what’s up, doc
Rivals would just stare and gaulk

Yosemite Sam
Made bugs and his buddies scram
Dubbed them all as mere varmints 
He had a keen eye to their footprints

Doomed, his mom was mortal
Dad's thigh (Zeus) his birth place
Dubbed the "god of the grape"
Developed winemaking
Danced with drunken pleasure

Premium Member The Queen of Moms

She crowned herself the Queen of Joy.
The Queen of ideas.
The Queen of Six Best Boys.

Her sons thought it was cute.
Dubbed her the Queen of Moms.
Her daughters-in-law rolled their eyes and hoot. 

Calling her the Queen of Helicopter Moms.
She went through life forever the Queen.
As opinionated and insistent as anyone you’ve seen.

Premium Member Reluctant Muse

I’d go to her for soulful inspiration,
But she would just seductively refuse. 
She wasn’t of a mind to be my lover.
So, I resolved to fashion her my muse.

I’d splattered oil on canvas, in a short while,
Arranged the scene with colors meant to rhyme.
Not striking, but she’ll know herself in profile.
I dubbed it, Dame Erato in Her Prime.

To Each His Own Bed

When Ozzie & Harriet wed
Censors decreed one to a bed*
Desi & Lucy
Never got juicy
But McCarthy still dubbed them, "Red!"  

* It was not OK in the USA for
married couples to share the 
same bed, but always OK for 
people and puppets to beat 
the crap out of each other,
leaving Soup poets to wonder
why people are so cruel!
