We once had a rooster named Buster
Whose aggression caused quite a fluster,
So the old chopping block
Arranged him for soup stock;
And the rest of him, a feather duster....

A bold, bullly bronc buster called Custer
Broke stallions with sharp spurs and vile bluster. 
As champ his wins caused great grief,
Yet all riders called him chief,
‘Til Crazy Horse twisted him a duster....

God spare me from modern man
The type that ‘does what he can’
Have you seen how the flick ‘round a duster
All wrist action, bugger all muster

How I pray for the day
When they invent a spray
To keep them well away!...

I'm not a preachy schoolmaster
Armed with various pens and a duster;
And I'm not the Almighty to dictate 
About wrong and right in human state,
But this I can tell with ample ease:
That no man has a license to do whatever they please!...

Feather duster--
Is that what my body is
Complicit?
How can you muster
The dust that mistrust
Dead follicles
Every microscopic particle
Sweep left to right
Cleanse the surface of my Immortal soul

Two figurines fell out of the sky
Dropped from a crop duster plane passing by.
The pilot yelled, "Look out down below!",
But no one could hear, he was flying so low.
The dolls struck Li Po who was filling his sack,
Now the rice farmer lifelessly floats on his back.
He does not move, first victim of
A double knickknack paddy whack....

There are so many ways 
To use some lovely feathers
As a duster or head dress 
It even goes with leather

I hear you have nice earrings
when they are used in them
Now many things are made of down
From pillows to nice coats 
Mattresses to bedspreads

The best way I think 
That they are widely used
Are upon the brightly colored birds
That  God did flight infuse...

Hormones in chaos,
Heartbeat racing, 
I peer out of the window.
Nothing is priority, anymore. 
The duster is at full stop and
fell down limp from hands 
That joined in a prayer.
My gaze raised to the sky.
As if the bell was ringing 
On Angels’ door to let way
For that poor soul who left 
Too soon. Yes, too soon, 
For an ill-timed bullet chose
Her head to take a rest.
Bless her soul Oh God. Amen....

A look i took at her flesh
Waiting to see something fresh 
But fancied not the tissues
With which she had has issues...

In her mind lots had clustered,
For she had seemed quite flustered:
Might I roles play of Duster;
And I the courage muster?

Then, I sensed some brothel behind
Where she would paradise find...
But in reality life grind
And foulest Demons unbind
"So it's all about a mind 
Its owner made sure went blind!"...

She walks in your house,
she wants you to know, 
the the less people near you,
the more her power grows.

She preys on the weak,
and hears their bones break,
as she finds her next victim, 
for another innocent life to take.

Her limbs are long and fast,
as she tears at your flesh,
devouring, consuming,
she likes her food fresh.

She is feared by many, 
so to get rid of her it’s said,
to use a stick or a duster,
and just get rid of her web....

Ask me not



From the ruins ask me nay
A handful of dust
Bed of woes clothed in cobwebs,
Air and drizzle, a duster, I fear
May erase the broken verses many
To nurse the scar, plugged partially 
And nay O! Pen airy more woes.

Beat nay that old scar of lament
Beneath sleeps broken dreams many
Half buried, half attended and ignored
For want of eye, evidence and efforts,
A new bud of gloom may sprout thus
A territory of terror on cards
Shall ruin me alone nay, but nation all....
