dollops of dander
mighty mousers meander—
cats with cattitude...

Flea a grain of sand
dander a fleck
All that is me and
What the heck...

what we will pander
may be a Michigander
gets up her dander

When asked the difference
  'tween a goose and a gander
I stuttered and stammered ~
  'til out burst my dander...

winter's white dander
falling as crystalline flakes...

Hair Raising Horn Haiku

Why Trump should we be 
Praising getting up dander 
And our hair raising.

Has been barn storming
Many insults throwing out
We are offended.

Wouldn't you be also?

Sun's beams with ardent fervor gleam
Showers caress winter's fallow domain 
Sprouting flowers their silty dander stream
Squawking squirrels, sparring birds occupy fertile terrain
Spring's revitalized chorus echoes a new refrain...

Salt Sprinkled

This whole thing should come to a halt;
Finally would find reason and the fault;
Dander raised;
No one praised;
Salt had been sprinkled on top of the Alt.

After listening to latest news about
Charlotte riot and statues....

Gander At My Dander

About some people I have been realizing,
They enjoy bothering us and aggrandizing;
Get up dander,
Of my  gander;
Which I lately have really been surmising.

I think Trump annoys people on purpose
just to get their attention. Have you ever 
anything like that before?

Old Mother Goose
Frankly speaking was rather loose
The neighborhood was shocked and all in a dander
When she had a brief affair with a well-feathered Gander

When the news reached Jack and Jill
They took that tumble down the hill
Poor Jill lost her drawers and good gracious alive!
Little Jack got a rise in his tattered Levis......

Bittersweet wild blue yonder;
Sadness grays got this;Lightning sunshine;
Vacuuming pet dander;
Dappled sunlight;
Thunder and lightning;
Rain come down upon me;
Wetting my head;
Makes it trees to fright to Mars;
The red planet;
Purple mountain gray granite;
In the sadness 
The gray got it

A succoring dew around your hearth lays
To water your carefree, idle days
On your beauty sunspilt beams gaze
A nurtured value to appraise
In the availing breeze your mast sways
Gallantly swaggering in the afternoon haze
Your gilded petals a coiffed maze
Snowy dander your dainty folds doth glaze 
A fragrant perfume distilled in fertile phase
Doting bees on your succulent nectar do graze...

a call had been close
after we would put on clothes
went out door we close

when we did tag it
MAGA became a maggot
applied tourniquet

would be sinister
sermon said by minister
about being spinster

what we knew for sure
increased our expenditure
for one more denture

we would meander
creating gerrymander
did raise up dander

poem would write to read
was great everyone agreed
did the dirty deed...

My mind is a blank canvas sitting on an easel in the dark
It’s quiet, there are no lights, no movements, no sound
Then I see a spark and then a splash of color,
Then I hear a soft low whistling sound
Then on ma canvas appears the most beautiful flower
With leaves of emerald and blossoms of amber
Then the sky is colored in so bright and clear 
Then a tickle of my nose caused by wondering dander 
My eyes open and my beautiful flower is you standing there....

I went to Walmart this morning - yes, it was very brave.
My dander was up - I was on high alert - for active shooters and the unmasked.

Then I saw him! A man on the cookie aisle - he looked like he had the monkeypox!
So, I kicked him in the nuts and ran - you can’t be too careful out there.


It turns out that he was just an 80-year-old retiree wearing a polka-dot shirt.
I apologized - from a safe distance - as the paramedics carted him away.


It felt like a close call....

There once was a frog
Who sat on a log
And had an amphibious thought

If you crossed some newts
With salamands cute
Exactly then, what have you got?

But when he asked Newt,
Newt got rather cross,
Said why would you want to do that?

When he asked the ‘mander
He got up his dander
They got in a similar spat

So he hit the road
And found him a toad
O Lawd, she had glorious thighs!

Since it got him naught
He banished his thought
Now they share his log, eating flies...
