The wheel chair flew by like a gun
Which left me standing quite stunned
The crippled old goat
Grabbed my camo coat
He can hide but he sure cant run...

I never thought that I would fall
for that one prank telephone call,
I ran around my yard -
no hidden grand prize card...
not the next millionaire at all!...

Cops and robbers, we used to play
      Our default way to pass the day

   We'd trade off, so we'd not get too bored
      Not enough excitement, too little reward...

 I feel a tug at my wrist
The first time in a while
Ana's face is closer now
Her pale, skinny fingers
Wrapped around my chunky wrist
Gotcha.

Gossamer cobweb
 glistens with
 early morning dew




Spider poised
ready
to entrap
unwary victim

Terrified I cowered deep in closet.
He was coming.
My panic increased with each passing second.

The door opened!!
His words became audible.
"Gotcha!"

"Perfume!"
"A DEAD give away."

Jacta Alea Est

By Gary L Thomas 



A box with six sides 
And pips on each 
Taunts me to action 
Don't want to crap-out now. 
\But it's way too late for ponderance. 
The bottle's been uncorked 
The brew lies in my belly beaming: 
Gotcha' again....

What if Santa snuck up on you?
Leaned in and whispered, I ‘Gotcha’
Look at you, ducking and dodging
All year round he has been watching 
Shorten that list sonny, to only a few!

(Remembering the Great Joe Tex)

There once was a girl called Sweet Nellie-Rose
Who fell in love with a guy called Mo’ Joe
Guys said she was too skinny
‘Til Nellie wore that Mini
Skinny legs ~ mini skirt and all… wrapped Joe

I gotcha wondering just who’s mojo was working
that day :-)...

Dawn comes around
Drowsy eyes ground


Blurry new strain
Espresso gain


Stride now sleepy
Gaze now blurry


Misty cold rain
Monsoon spreads plain


Slow movement yokes
Dreamy form strokes


Abrupt this light
Dash drowsy sight


Now brew gotcha
Coffee cuppa

Today was April Fool’s Day,
reminding me
of lighter times.

While listening to the news this morning,
I yearned for the traditional,
“Gotcha, April Fool.”

But all I heard,
reflected an unforeseen truth
from an unseen enemy.

No prank
or white lie could I detect,
from unsmiling faces.

The April Fool remained hidden
in pandemic’s shadow....

I stood in the kitchen on yesterday, 
And cried, and cried, and cried.
Everyone came into the room  and
Began to wipe their eyes.
I continued to do the task that 
I was commissioned to do.
I cried, and cried, and cried some more-
From all the onion juice.


Gotcha….thought I had another sad experience?
Chopping onions for the dressing. We feed 
The homeless on yesterday and gave out gift baskets. 
An Awesome Experience....

Mom's back a crack to caulk
can't knock it in, until it's knocked
them dogs on down the sidewalk
keep on goin', no time for thought

there's rhymes to run
there's cadences to call
there's favors to sun
there's lawns to sprawl

Molly cries aloud the rules
jump a crack 'n' chalk a skip
sneakered hot dogs leap to cool
verses to holler 'n' cracks to trip

ya gotcha hopscotch, ya gotcha 'hood
sidewalk's gotcha a playin' mood good

I have a night for you
With candle blue 
And a piece of moon 
The room is clean 
Everything smell like sweet kisses 
Like always 
Like all ways 
Don’t miss it babe
It is our dream anniversary 

I have a night for you 
With long touch 
And shadow smile 
I will please you
A million pleases 
Screaming 
Ice scream 
Hmm… Gotcha babe 
Turn off the light 
Turn on your senses 
Be in the mood
Take photos  
Build a song 
Feel it?
We’ve made it
Oh! God don’t want it to be over....

The orange juice was being sold
At quite a nifty price.
I bought a few containers,
Feeling proud, not thinking twice.

But something made me double-check,
Since looks would not suffice,
And that is when I noticed
What I don’t think’s very nice.

Each orange juice container,
Looking normal, to entice,
Was a bunch of ounces smaller,
So I offer this advice:

When a bargain is presented,
You can always roll the dice,
But from corporate America,
There’ll be no sacrifice....
