All the men gawk

    Rough talk she heard...

She gave them the check
men gawk at her derriere...

frightened turtle squats

         on its shadow, wet and yet,

                   gawks at zooming jet !...

A teenager searching for gold
Saw a girl whose tattoo was bold
It read, "You are here!
The treasure is near!"
But as he grew hot she grew cold...

Ilene went for her morning walk
She saw some friends and stopped to talk
The rain fell down
And soaked her gown
And everyone else stopped to gawk...

Our church held a Chastity Walk
Where old folks just stand there and gawk
Our numbers are few
But what can one do
When gossips have eyes like an hawk?...

high school reunion

eyes gawk at my youthful look--

facelift unnoticed

What if we discover dogs could talk
But choose not to, to avoid the shock 
When out for a stroll
Shock people, saying hello 
Barking means upset when people gawk...

There was a hungry saddle-billed stork,
     That went for a wading walk,
        With his long stout bill
         He caught fish at will,
   It sure made the other birds gawk....

A gentle droning fills the officers’ club
Here come the wasps, someone says
A silence fills where conversations were
Some of the officers walk to the windows
To gawk at the new WASPS...

I’m going looking for love
The kind you will gawk
The world for a moment
in find of the flock

The pressures for building
in love of the mind
When nobody's listening
to hearts of my kind...

Koala the Australian version of. “The Thinker”, sits high.
Ponders the spicy tang of his next meal then, he’ll sleep for hours.
People gawk at him, as he munches eucalyptus.

We 'astro-nuts' scan the skies from Earth down here:
   "Could there be Intelligent Life out there?"

Way out in Space, at Earthlings they gawk and stare--
   "Is that Intelligent Life down there?"...

In a land far away lived this fellow
Three times every day he ate Jell-O
When he went for a walk
Passersby would gawk
As he wiggled and jiggled his bottom endo

If your child's growing up right through their socks
Be not alarmed, the trend will eventually stop
Else there's really no telling
The size of a dwelling 
You'd need or how much neighbours would gawk...

I am not a fish
Yet in this bowl I'm living
Swim up to the side
Press my big lips to the glass
People gawk and hoot at me!

Went to the zoo today to gawk at the animals
Wonder what they think of us dressed up in casuals
Shorts with a bow tie
With suspenders, I wouldn't lie
Pink and purple checks, stripes or pretty diagonals<>...

     Noise, the medium, of endless tedium 
       low decibel levels at a premium

     Female artists as naked as Eve    
       snake around poles the devil weaves

     Rubbernecks gawk, pay top dollar
       to writhe in sweaty squalor

Busking for breakfast in Kabul
a puffed up dream idealology
haze delineating freedom
as mournful tunes offset tranquility

Crowds gather to gawk
sentimental shards of shrapnel
life left unguarded
wasted away 
another fateful scene screams...

If you walk the walk and talk the talk, surely people will gawk
Especially if you're a male wearing jockeys chanting in ancient dialogue
Must realize it's out of the norm
As strange wee animals swarm
Guess people aren't ready for tomorrow's poppycock...

fearful to walk the talk, we balk
mindful eye perceives ego stalk
something’s not right, inner conflict
being tendency to resist
ascension awaits, yet we gawk

Near North Side: Chicago


Where will the lovely lady go
on her diurnal walk?
One child in 30 years she bore,
now they do not talk.
Supple, firm, her lithe legs are,
young men wheel and gawk.
A husband left her money, though,
a poodle, too, to walk.
