Ate half a cow in one go
His tummy was loaded
He nearly exploded
Now he is Santa hohoho...

State Hood
Don Ho was always in trouble
For blowing a tiny bubble
When Ida was born
His cheeks went unshorn
The egg on his face was stubble...

Hands a-clappin', boots a-thumpin',

Feel the vibes and hear the noisy
Idaho cowgirls and Boise....

Randomling 35: Coeur D'Alene
Coeur d'Alene, Heart of the Awl,
gem of the north,
you tamed my hatred of this desert state
and gave me sunlight sparkling on
blue lakes under scented pines....

Passing Gas In Idaho
A lady once, passed gas in Idaho
To the guy behind her she made a big show
With a bit of wit,
She said, "Hey, stop it"
He said, "Okay, tell me which way did it go?"...

Happy Ever After
A fellow moved to Idaho
Perfect place he wanted to go
Bought himself a farm,
Married a schoolmarm
And learned to live with the snow.

Heaven's Gate
Idaho is
as America was
her voice in the canyons
and mountains above
Idaho is
where today meets the sun
baptized in her beauty
—deep rivers to run

I think hard and then bingo
The “words” he creates make sense, well sorto...

All Things By God Were Made Including Nampa
All Things By God Were Made
City of Nampa by God was made;
In His world my whole life stayed;
Enjoyed much;
Thrilled to touch,
And into past finally would fade.
Jim Horn
How is Nampa, Idaho?
Did you see any of its
footprints there?...

Choices
Fear courses through me
Another day passes
Jobless and on the hunt
Sleeping on an unknown couch
Errors and lies lead to angry families
Run
Help
Fear
Homeless?
Idaho?
No.
Stay
Even if it's not good
Love
Fear
Hate
Confusion
Help!
Please!
Help........

One Is the Loneliest Number
Tressa
Loving, kind, quirky, weird
Sister of Joe and Kit
Lover of many, but one in particular
Who feels anger, sadness, and happiness.
Who fears clowns, rejection, and dying alone
Who would like to see Paris, Rome, and Japan
Resident of Caldwell, Idaho

Trying To Sleep
The light from the window
danced on the wall
Projecting the branches of the tree outside
Like a painting in the dark.
My melatonin wasnt working
So I watched the light
And I thought about
California, and Idaho,
And Italy, and Egypt
Until I finally fell asleep...

I-Do-Wa
Not Iowa---Idaho
Not Ohio---I-DA-HO
That's a very old joke, you know,
and it's still not funny.
No, I hate skiing
And mountain biking
No, not corn. Potatoes
And Mormons
Yes, it really IS a state. Look it up.
What's there?
Endless desert
What's there?
Nothing
Nothing but me....

Doing Laundry
the tiny laundry room
smells like my grandfather
and the house he once had
where I played in my youth
the walls, rich healthy green
i remember driving
up in the afternoon
the happiest Ive ever been
from Idaho its far
but its well worth the trip
cool summer nights with Iz
I still smell the old cars...

Lake Pond Oreille
The beauty of
Lake Pond Oreille
Green copper-monarch
Mountains rise from the
Deep fresh waters guarding
The sacred wildlife of this
Northern Idaho Panhandle
Ospreys skim the surface
Of this lake with fish dangling
In their claws
What glory and majesty
She possesses in her arms
Truly, a gift from the Gods...

Idaho
There once lived a singer from Idaho
But her notes were hard to hear and quite low
Tried another approach
By hiring a voice coach
The coach gave her money back and said go

Idaho Sunset
Slate sky
streaked with a painter's acid dream
caresses the mountains, bleeding on their peaks.
Cloud curtains
lower, then rise, on an ever-changing
psychedelic happening,
but
fracturing fingers
of darkness pierce the canvas,
draining the colors,
drawing the curtains closed.

Ego-Beneficiary
Here's an oxymoron
that's sure to brighten your day:
being the selfish head honcho,
in the end never pays;
purchasing personal glory
at the cost of a friend.
But being selfless
helps out everybody else
(and as an added bonus
even yourself)
NOTE: Haven't written anything new since I left Idaho, so I thought I'd share an older poem instead ......

Muddle
I muddle through the day
like an old tire being
dragged out of a muddy pond.
Words and days come and go -
an expression fumbles
out of my mouth.
Just another day of tediousness
and exaggerations.
I would ask you to come
with me but I know
you'd never go back
to Idaho -
days upon days of snow
buckling the power lines
and rooftops.
I muddle through......

Autumnal Transition of the Bounty
The pumpkins
The pumpkins
The pumpkins all are gone.
Where did all the lovely pumpkins go?
I saw them just a month ago
outside the grocery store-
so round and sitting pretty in a row.
Potatoes
Potatoes
Potato sales are on
the sweet, the brown, and every type we know.
Now trickling down from Idaho
to us are spuds galore.
When pumpkins disappear, potatoes flow!...

Thoughts of the Empire State Building
They talk about me in Cincinnati and Kalamazoo
In Texas, Idaho, Wyoming, Russia and Timbuktu.
They like my photos but few travel to New York City.
Where the Broadway shows are spectacular and witty.
A skyscraper, what is that? Asks a child from Chad.
I’m the Empire State Building, beautiful and bad.
Decorated each December in lights of green and red.
Come to New York City, see me, and get amply fed....
