There was a Halloween hullabaloo
Ghosts, goblins and a witch with face of blue.
Dracula with his fright
Danced and caroused all night
I wish I had been there; now don’t you?...

Some true
Some absurd,
All this hullabaloo
Fact checking every word.

Many fake
Many disturbed
It's propaganda makes
obsequious sycophant uncurbed......

Dee wore a teeny weeny bikini
All guys on the beach whistled her keenly
She caused hullabaloo
As it was a see-through 
And green-eyed gals swore at Dee obscenely....

 A Bowl of Soup

friendship hails      around the orb    freewheeling in virtual space.

a hullabaloo of hellos,    unique argonauts of rhythm and verse.

shedding skins,    sharing losses and wins,   a bowl of soup....

Slams Destroyed Her Head

She was slammed by slam poetry, boo hoo!
Some folks wondered about the hullabaloo.
When bombarded with dread,
Sad thoughts destroyed her head.
Now, she thinks she’s a blithering cuckoo!

Laughter is a true medicine
Artful mood changing dietician
Universal umpire of fun
Gigantic pain reducing gun
Heaving hearty hullabaloo
Tombstones stress to Kalamazoo
Engineers relationship glue
Real flavor boost for life's fondue....

Kitchi the otter escaped from the zoo

  He has caused all sorts of hullabaloo

    He can't have gone far

      He was last seen in Flanigan's bar

        Sipping a Budwieser brew

Lucille Ball
Made us laugh, playing hardball
With dingbat displays
And clever, nonsensical ways!

Desi Arnaz
Caused mayhem with pizzazz
Zaniness we loved to view
As he broadened the hullabaloo!

Into A Corner,

Of Morning Light, 

God Nudges Me,

With A Beautiful Sight, 

I Pay No Mind, 

As It Breaks Through, 

Sadness In Me, 

Sticks Like Glue, 

Paint Away God, 

I Won't, 

Enjoy The View,

God Asks,

"Whoever Heard,

Of Such Hullabaloo?"

As we're going through
A bumpy, jumpy, avenue 
Depending on our hullabaloo
With a burden, that is in pursue
God sends our way, blessings 
To make our load risings
A less required mounting 
O' thanks heaps, Dear Lord
For each passing day of life, onboard 
Forever and a day, untold 
Time without end, takes hold...

The flop and flurry
of woozy wings
tromps over hedgerows.
Claws scrabble
feathers flounce.

Here a rowdy cackle
in a coddled coo,
there a hullabaloo
in a ruffled flutter.
Birdsongs pumps up,
balloon into chattering tunes.

Another teaming tussle,
another musical lurch
as sleepy birds
roll off
their nocturnal perch....

Mad as loons in the midday heat
Hydrants open, oh the treat.

Screaming, laughing, splashing too
Bystanders enjoying the hullabaloo.

Joyous children having fun
Cooling off beneath the Sun,

Smiling faces, having a riot.
Parents wishing they could try it.

Monday morning all is blue, 
Heaving oneself out of bed in a hullabaloo, 
Dark outside as Halloween sets in, 
Slugs attacking the teeth of our pumpkin, 
Son demanding I arrange his cards for a magic trick, 
Daughter huffing, expecting her breakfast to appear real quick, 
I want to shut the door and hide away, 
Under my inviting warm duvet....

Doing the Splits
Got knickers in a twist doing the splits 
Tearing my trousers and hurting my hips
Hubby made hullabaloo 
Turning the atmosphere blue
And now I’m hobbling around on two sticks.

huge hullabaloo in angel town
A jumbo jet has landed upside down
Where is the queen? We asked. Bring the crown!
She arrived minutes later, in a gold brocade gown.

Who landed this plane? She asked with a frown.
I did, said the handsome pilot, Jack T. Brown
Were any hurt? Did any get lost or drown?
Of course not, he stated. I am not a clown!...
