Joseph Biden, President,
Current White House resident.
His faculties are in decline,
But his handlers say he's doing fine.
Christmas finds reindeer landing on rooftops
Santa’s kindly added some extra stops
His sleigh filled with travelers
Scared of TSA handlers
Scoff as coal through government chimneys drops
*For Francine’s Christmas contest
Growling viciously
In a mindless, endless
Moment of contention
Saliva soaking the goal
The onlookers gawked
Some shaking their heads
Others somehow amused
By the furious enmity
Were they seeking the middle
Or fighting for it all
Or was the goal to keep them occupied
While their handlers sipped coffee
Marked 'Fragile, Handle with Care'
a preemie wrapped in tender affection
Tiny fingers, tiny toes; a wisp of a nose
in the midst of her pale pink complexion
Gentle and delicate her handlers will be
knowing one slip can be fatal
Should not every delivery be treated this way
~ pre, neo and post-natal
Eskimo Ellie loves training her sled dogs
they are her comfort, her pack.
they keep her warm at night, and appreciate her stories
She lets them sleep inside the igloo, but keeps this a secret
the other dog handlers would not understand
they might think she is soft and silly
her dogs are her family,
where else would she make them sleep?
“Do you ever,” she asked,
“write a poem 'bout someone that
you wouldn't show 'em?”
I had to think on that one.
“Not really,” I finally answered.
Her gaze begged for more.
“My poetry's true
while the venom I spew
tends towards the prosaic
and souls sympathetic
to my in-the-moment
human condition.
I'm lucky like that,
havin' snake handlers in my life.”
“When's the last time you danced
on a rainbow?” she asked.
A giant panda eats leaves and shoots,
several handlers and keepers
fall to a spray of AK-47 bullets.
"Why?"
moans an elderly Chinese lady,
blood oozing from her torn body -
she had nursed him from a cub.
In a less than perfect Mandarin,
the animal replied:
"Madam, humans do not understand
how to bear an unbearable love.
Being insufferably cute
the matter has always been
a black and white issue for us.
We love to shoots first,
then we leaves."
