swimming in salty smooth seas,
laughing like Flipper....

river catfish is startled by a splash
he dives down into the lake
hitting the natural springs
unaware he made this loud noise
with his enormous flipper of a tail...

Went to the park for a picnic today
Found one open and began to sashay
Flipped my flipper
Zipped my zipper
Such freedom is better than a toothache...

A doctor was checking a prostate.
When all of a sudden a noise made.
     It sounded like a zipper,
     The guy gave him a flipper.
Jumped up and demanded a rebate!!!...

a fanciful meditative trance
transformed me into a mermaid
I found myself staring across a warm benevolent sea
my flipper power was amazingly real
this was more than a dream...

Sky – quakes
Air-whales’ flipper prowls
Obscurity rakes…

Bidding adieu
Dark Mountain Hade-shades
Fears brew…

Unfastened hawks
Times’ temperature snow-cold
Gloom rocks…

Have you ever been a bad finger flipper
Feels SO good when the situation's a gripper
You'll know when it happens
Stead of soiling your depends
Raise the finger, stead of being a fence sitter...

Stripper Who Was A Finger Flipper

All that she wore was her each slipper,
Which is why they called her a stripper;
Pretty precocious;
Flipping ferocious;
We have heard she is a skinny dipper.

I was the horizontal and the vertical
I was the light and dark on black and white
I was the picture flipper controler
I was the sound controller
I went up and down
I was the rabbit ears that fix the picture
I was the waiter to bring him beer...

I SAW THE TWO SEA CREATURES,
THEY HAD THE MOST WONDERFUL FEATURES,
BEAUTIFUL GRAY SKIN,
EACH LOOKING LIKE A TWIN,
I WONDER IF IT WAS FLIPPER,
THEY WERE MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN THE BIG DIPPER,
THEY WERE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL DOLPHINS,
MAY MANY MORE LIVE ON....

there is a young mermaid form france
who dreams to be able to dance
she tries to remain chipper
when she falls on her flipper
for it will not fit into pants

there is a young merman named mike
always dreams of riding a bike
people say hurtful mean jokes
when his flipper finds the spokes
now rides side saddle on his trike...

She is the Grandmother I never met
The Grandmother I will never forget
Her knowledge, her wisdom,my saving grace
Her avatar picture a smiling face
The man I call Dad,you know as H G
Calls Joyce "Mom"; therefore "Grandma Joyce" to me
I've just started to read her Poetry
I'm lovingly trap, in her Tapestry

To Joyce Johnson : Respectfully Flipper...

Time sloshes back and forth.
A rubber flipper
once lost off the Normandy coast,
briefly surfaces.

Off the Bognor Regis coast
one sand-encrusted flip-flop floats by,
it escaped years ago.

There are krill
nibbling at my floating mind.

I may have to snorkel
further
before the sun comes up -

the jellyfish
are stealing my stuff again.

Diva duck has shiny blue swinging hair
Smooth and silky, arranged with great care.
We watch her fling her flipper feet in the air.
She is being watched by a burly grizzly bear.

He says what kind of human is she? Is she good to eat?
Smacking his lips now, he says “I need a holiday treat.”
We get out of there, because we get a bit of a scare.
Afterall, most of us know better than to talk to a grizzly bear....

 Draft beer,

chess boards,

and Kerouac cool.

Cerebral grafitti and
a Robot-in-Drag juke box
bubbling out fifty years of good jazz.

A virtuoso burger flipper
destroying the laws of physics,
making gravity play the fool.

On the restroom walls,
the surfaces held
musings of poets

and philosophers…

overwritten since, 
by lesser bards

and now
closed.

Soon to be
apartments....

You can ask me to paint the sky,
A much different shade than blue
Perhaps, a yellow pink or orange color might 
Be the choice to suit you.

You can tell me to change animals from winged to footed;
Or flipper to fingers at hand.
Insist that I move continents into a long, continuous, elongated band.

All of these things I think I might achieve,
I think – I believe, I might could do, 
Before I could ever possibly, even slightly, 
Ever stop loving you....

Soaring in my mind above the blue skies.
Warmth penetrating across my brow.
Diving to feel a cool breeze and soaring again
On strong wings. Time is no importance while on top today.

I look across the vast sea and know I can swim fast and free.
I float, dart and flipper my way to this destination. 
Mostly content though when I gaze upward...
Fleeting thoughts of discontentment come as flashes of light.
My dream...to soar as an eagle, majestic, across the sky....
