Short Hydraulic Poems

dark shadows send thermal beams

Returning
as a man
woken from the sleep
of lost memory

Daydreaming now
the only option
eyes wide open
images flash

Moments before
become moments after
painting all reference
in shades of gray

Starting the ending
to seal its inception
each step taken
—forward and back

Roar goes the monstrous winds of the west 
Whooshing against the coast 
The Blustery waves battling against the sails and boats 
 
Surfers loving the gigantic waves 
Hydraulic action, 
Attrition and Deposition 
You name it 
Gives us a wonderful coast 
Beautiful and peaceful 
 
The lovely breeze, 
Green hills, 
And the attractive landscape 
Make us fall in love with the countryside....

If I were an elephant I’d shave off my trunk.
Shave off my trunk!  Who woulda thunk?
Cause a really long nose
reaching down to my toes
is an ostentatious piece of junk.

But wait, how the heck would I shower?
I’d need a huge hunk of hydraulic power.
to rinse the plaque
off my big back
and time-wise, it’d consume half an hour!

So I guess my trunk I’d keep.
So I could shower on the cheap
and pick up the soap
or salute the Pope
if he paraded by in his Jeep


*no contest...
