Heartfelt song, fingers picking.

    ballet to country crooners

When issuing Globalist threats
it proves best to shed all regrets
of Dull Care lingering,
still busy fingering
all across those DNA frets....

Six steel and brass strings.
Twelve frets, precisely spaced.
Hollow braced spruce….magic.

doubt 
in solitude
lingers&hovers,
pushes&pulls:
first silent
then loud
articulates 
the unthinkable,
seethes
blurs
frets
undoes
the unwary...

Her accent from Bronx in New York,
This doll said she needed a fork.
The waiter’s reply
Was, “Ma’am, I’ll comply.”
Now she frets, expecting The Stork....

Softly the wind forms a silent breath
Whispering intermittently between frets
Calming her fury she listens intently
The call of the wind beckons serenely...

There will simply never ever be enough cigarettes
To erase all of my biggest losses and old regrets.
No matter how many I smoke, not enough to erase my frets....

J-oyful mind every day
E-agerly leaves all woes behind; 
Z-ones of frets and worries
A-re far away from joyful mind.

her constant frets and threats became annoying
Perpetual worrisome pout turned ugly fast.
time wasting stuff he did not honor
so he walked away, saving himself,
knowing the preciousness of time lost....

Let's see. It's someone who
on a successful day,
frets over a second of failure or two.
A pessimist, others may say.

Keeping us awake
Doing utmost to be safe
Flowers smile outside

Standing in long lines
Panic buying shamelessly
Yes you big hoarder

Calm serene most mild
After all God's child
In His care you walk

I want your obedience
I want your trust
I want your time
I want your investment
I want your knowledge
I want your regrets
I want your love
I want your tears
I want your frets
I want your fears
I want your keep
I want your finds
I want your insight
I want your deeds
Know...

couldn't know where
he was at
she had this way
and your outside
if, just the city slept
while once 
become another mucho
distrust
danced
never right
he's not here
she wont come outside
from you wouldn't
untied shoes
running up to catch
the coffee cups
saying goodbye...

Words pamper words
Unscathed, unheard


Lewd remarks rip
A one-way trip


Taunt and ruffle
Whim makes trouble


Hostile mindset
A coward frets


Why do we write?
That soul may cite


Bliss knows true joy
Flings sanguine ploys

Elon Musk bought Twitter for Trump
As Truth Social was in a slump
But now Elon frets
Trump does not pay debts
A chump in the dump takes a lump

Trump tells us all that he is wise
And we all know Trump never lies
Trump Tax Returns show
What IRS owe
Who could that possibly surprise?...

This morning I looked up at the sky 
and it was abruptly rent in twain 
So I casually watered my new bonsai
and cast away all my pointless frets
I sat back in my seat and lit a cigarette
I sang a hymn and hummed its refrain
I felt like a dangling marionette
And all at once, life was simplified...

What is this thing that nags your mind
And robs your hopes until you’re blind?
It owns you now. It owns you next.
It drains your soul until you’re vexed.

Your life becomes a money wreck
From sleepless nights filled full of frets.
It grows and grows until you scream,
"ENOUGH! ENOUGH! GIVE BACK MY DREAMS!”

Let some hope dreams reach arms 
first,
Yet come cope. Seems each charm 
burst
Frets from dopes' schemes. Speech 
harms worst.
Debts numb popes. Teams preach 
warm thirst;
Wet rum. Roped beams breech 
barms! Cursed
Vets hum mopes! Streams leech! 
Farms nurse
Pet bums? Nope! Gleams screeched 
swarmed hearse!...

M-editation in the morning 
A-ims to use the day; 
R-ising sun has taken 
Y-our frets and woes away. 

C-oal black clouds Saturday 
A-re nowhere in sight; 
B-eautiful dawn has caused 
R-apture and pure delight. 
E-arly twenty-fifth February, 
R-ed beacon comes shining; 
A-llow your mind to make meditation in the morning....

Through life it is all the people,
All love and time,
All will go as death is fine,

The seas' waves let me float dead,
It's cold wind's journey speeds my spread,

I saw my bones beneath my skin,
Thinking they will never appear to thin,

No regrets or moral frets,
Life is death as death is set,
Man to flame!
Ash to the ocean!...

Much ado about nothing, I say, 
Such nonsense made of Major’s poop 
Touch not the precious White House furniture, or, 
Lunch on leg of Secret Service nincompoop. 

Sad, for four long years, no White House pets 
Bad reviews for majestic canine occupants 
Add swipes at new First Lady’s Spanish 
Glad POTUS does not yet need sycophants....
