Premium Member Jerry and Susie

Jerry was gung-ho, root’n toot’n
Loved Susie, who was high fallut’n.
They had a big fight
He would not eat right
She wanted him to eat only gluten.

Premium Member Gung-Ho

The newest student in class
   The just-hired employee
The representative-elect
   The groom and bride-to-be

All of them enthusiastic
   All of them gung-ho
Within a few months or so
   Where does that spirit go?

Premium Member Easter Monday

God switched on the sun light.
the budding leaves aglow.
dimmer switch brightens sight.
hues of woodland, gung ho.

rise from bulbs, leaves like wings,
soaked in water-retreat.
glass vase - fingerprint clings.
tulips cupped, bittersweet.

sans leftovers of crumbs,
spotless rug brings to mind
the conversation hums,
ham and turkey rewind.

Premium Member Steampunk Maggie

Steampunk Maggie with her flaming purple neon hair
Showing a gung-ho attitude that scares men off the planet.
Guns should be hanging off her holsters; not sure they aren’t.
As she faces me down with her charisma I laugh. She is mighty!
I add some yellow daisies to her top hat to smooth her out, calm her.
Rather than softening her attitude, it makes her more formidable.
I adore her now more than ever.

On tariff Vs taarif

Trump’s top gun that has been tariff
That caused him to skid off the cliff, 
He, unwise of its woes,
Gung ho, gaga who goes,
Still hopes for vain waah and taarif!
Now, his move gone haywire,
On reverse gear, rear fire,
Mighty worried he’s of what if.

Note: waah (Hindi) translates as bravo, well done, and taarif (t pronounced soft) translates as praise, admiration, approval

Premium Member Soldier Returns From Viet Nam

Gary returned to his small town with a plate in his head.
He had been bright but was not quite that much now.
A gung-ho soldier who had survived a year in Nam.
He spent the next year painting his car red white and blue.
He drove pretty girls around in parades after that.
A changed man, a soldier, who was never the same.
The entire town was proud of him and his car.
“He’s the guy who came back changed” we told each other.
Respecting his sacrifice and appreciating our freedom.
