a grouse drumming
sunflowers swaying in the wind
busy raking leaves...

grouse, duck and peacock
give me the green of feathers
green grass they strut on...

bitter cold nags at my face ~

Silence shattered
the grouse break cover-
from thunder clouds
curtains of rain
turn day into night...

The Capercaillie
Most delightful wood grouse
Striding so graceful

The elephant told the mouse
'I am sick of your grouse'
The mouse wagged its tail
Brought a bunch of cat's mail
'Look! all's written to your spouse'.

On a head, there lived a louse,
It was this itchy louse's house.
Mr Magoo was a mole,
Who lived in a deep, dark hole.
BANG! the head just shot a grouse!...

A grump and a grouse ran around town.
Griping and groaning, whining around.
So full of guff
We’d had enough.
Sent them to a circus to be happy clowns.

Three cats did share the same house.
Two sweet but one was a grouse.
Two got along great but the third t'was love/hate.
But there isn't a mouse in the house....

The mouse was swallowed by a grouse,
Hawk had the grouse for dinner.
One gunshot blast, the hawk was dead,
the mouse walked out the winner.

There once was a jovial baboon 
who loved to put music to spoon 
he came to my house 
quiet as a grouse 
until he pulled out his bassoon

There was a master French chef named Pierre
Who fancied himself quite suave and debonair __
   He once cooked a grouse
   Said: "It's on the house" -- 
Too bad the Cosa Nostra'd ordered bear

Voodoo Chili Blues
Hendrix is in the house
Hear my train a’comin
We are rocking too hard to grouse

Let’s set this guitar on fire!
And sing the Catfish blues.
Time is precious to this artist.
So young! His life to lose!...

Appears To Be Morose

Trump appears to be morose
Disgruntled and is really grouse
A real chip off the block
That ended up being a crock
And has often been bellicose.

Every path he is on always leads
to another war.

I haven't built a house.
Nor spread tarmac onto roads.
I have not shot a brace of grouse.
Or planting veg in rows.

I am sitting on a comfy chair,
Which my old body embraces.
I become exhausted,
When bending down to tie my shoelaces....

Sharp.
Cutting. Ouch!
Sharp writing, revered.
Sharpshooter. Wow!
Sharp-sighted. Flight cleared.
Sharp-tailed grouse.
Sharp-eyed mouse.
Sharp-witted, admired.
Sharp-tongue makes me tired.
Sharp-cut, defined.
Sharpish,
Sharpie
Sharp!

Vote for us, we’ll give you a house 
And you are not allowed to grouse 
It is just a masquerade
Empty promises made 
Your house might turn out to be for a mouse

Chill has filled the air
frost has formed upon the ground
leaves have begun to fall
aches and pains have settled in
I'm heeding nature's call

make way for the bear
the grouse, the blue tit mouse
It's time to disappear
let's hibernate 
and return again next year...

Trump went to church to prey today
The Collection Plate passed his way
Quick as an elf
He helped himself
"Only a fool gives cash away!"

So many people sit and grouse
Our POTUS is a lowlife louse
Let Trump emote!
Get out and vote!
"Trump goes potty at The White House!"...

Grouse Courting

I watch the Grouse do their dance,
As each feather is enhanced.
Vane or down they’re preened and cleaned,
Keeping them healthy and streamed.

At the tail’s base an oil gland,
Makes the feathers dry and grand.
Barb to rachis beak nibbled;—
For the courtship ritual.

Equal on both indebted was the house,
There was but one small difference:
They that had always nourished grouse—
And whose drive always tried to hop,
Floors boasted on truth from roof top,
Discreet foundation kept silence.

Removal van's at the White House  
Milania's in a right grouse
Cos Trump lost his job
(She called him a knob)
‘The Donald's’ gone quiet as a mouse

Milania won't have him slacking
and Donald must do his own packing  
For the 'Impeach' faced guy
Can's of orange skin dye 
Trump's tower of boxes is stacking

The power saw is screeching,
Interrupting every thought.
I’m sending silent messages,
Which all add up to naught.

Of course, the neighbors have a right
To work around the house,
The same way I’m entitled 
To both seethe inside and grouse.

A quiet Sunday afternoon
Was what I’d hoped to get.
Instead, my peace disturbed,
I grit my teeth and moan and fret....

Distanced from me,
she was aloof,
she had a grouse,
and a lot of refuse,
in her mind,
she had determined,
that she would not give up,
rather she would move out,
I was also not allright about,
and always had to shout,
when two do not hear,
with plugs in their ear,
distance has grown,
and relationship is mown,
it remains for two to decide,
how to tend and care,
what both had sown.

Wise words work well
Odd lines cast tell


Risk reaps real rouse
Dance grips grand grouse


Prize play prompts pace
Live here warm trace


Apt aim airs ask
Yield sense totask


Rich rays rest rhymes
Heart heeds such times


Yes yields your yoke
Mind works fond strokes


End ease earns each
Style sweet soul reach
