If I was a marauder
I would move to Kansas City
To pillage smelly garage from barbeque restaurants
Lots of customers do not finish their food
I would do it in May
Before the June flies swarm in...

It is winter. 
Ta da ta da ta dah
It is snowing. 
Ha ha ha ha ha ha

There were one hundred and seventy car wrecks
in Kansas City yesterday.
I stare at the screen in disbelief 
not knowing what to say....

There once was a young man from Kansas City
Who considered himself very witty.
For him others wrote a little ditty
"He jokes with bartenders,
snaps his suspenders,
jokester no less, that’s his nitty gritty.”...

Yesterday it was nearly eighty in Kansas City
Today our high will be possible snow flurries
Up down, up down, the weather is bi-polar
She cannot be outguessed
Get on board
Or get out of her way
She always wins...

The Kansas City Chiefs will try
To chop the Buccaneers down
But the boss Tom Brady
Isn't messing around
He'll throw more touchdowns
Than the law allows
Snatching out the Chief's
Feathers, making his fans proud...

With a Kansas city twist
Gotta have a new Cadiz

Brand new Cadiz....

Anyone who is anybody or has traveled at all in the Midwest
Knows about Crown Center, its beauty is the ultimate test
They deck it out with beauty in the winter, honoring Christmas
It is a December sight that children from four states often like the best....

mommy dropped to her knees
right there in the Kansas City airport
pulling her baby into her body
She could never get enough hugging
Her daughter was thrilled to see her
and luckily did not understand how close mommy came
to not ever returning home from Iraq...

It is fifty-five degrees in Kansas City
a balmy Christmas Day
My bare feet laugh

Glad to be out of fuzzy socks
My toes tap happily against cool bricks
my dog prances beside us

My happy heels
Dancing with my excited soles
We are thrilled with fifty-five!...

He exudes a joyful mask every day.
Injury does not slow him or delay.
We love him in every single way!...

it is Christmas in Kansas City
Patrick Mahomes is taking us to the Super Bowl
We are all Chief’s fans now
Barbeque restaurants are feeding the homeless
There are more of them this year than before
Our famous fountains are blinking in Christmas colors
Jesus peeks in on us....

It is three a.m.
the world is flat
spooky gray sky
elusive moon in hiding

I am the only one awake
in Kansas City
possibly the only one awake in the universe
My mind is a firework

too much responsibility
I can barely fathom it
am I in charge then?
where do I start?...

August sizzled our eyebrows off this year
However, our barbeque places were in full gear
We ate our ribs, and yelled Kansas City Chiefs!
From the outside, however, there was no relief.
The weather has been brutal, the heat stifling and mean.
It's the worst August this hotspot has ever seen!...

Kansas City is having a huge winter blizzard
my dogs are hibernating
sleeping deader than black bears

cold nose-chilling wind is whistling
woodland creatures are in hiding
monster storm of twenty, twenty-five

do not expect another one for a hundred years
a few newborns might see the next one
but not me, and probably not you...

Quarterback Tom Brady proved he was not too old to play.
He won the Super Bowl for his new team in Tampa Bay.
By a 31-9 score, Brady led the Buccaneers to victory.
The losing team was the Chiefs from Kansas City.
After the results in Super Bowl number fifty-five,
at the age of forty-three, Brady can still thrive.

The first game was played in California;
LA Coliseum the arena.
Here, you may have a doubt.
The game was not sold out.
This is just some more useless trivia.

The Packers were led by Vince Lombardi.
Hank Stram brought his Chiefs from Kansas City.
In this football showdown
from this West Coast town,
the team from Green Bay won the first trophy....

Like a nuclear bomb
It is dropped on us with a bam!
Kapow! Kapow!
Everyone I know has it.

It’s a pandemic like no other.
Even the Spanish Flu was not this bad.
Kapow! Kapow!
I am wearing two masks now.

Will they be enough?
I seriously doubt it.
I live in Kansas City.
Right now, the nearest hospital bed is eight hours away.

Kapow! Kapow!...

Edgar my dear 
Why do you have that spear 
Is that your plan?
When in a jam? 
Scare the bloody Kansas City yellow and red 
When they fight the fowl volture appearing dead 
Spirit Haunting
Spirit Daunting 
Blazing under the Baltimore sun 
Until Poe's poetic message is done
No swift moves will be here 
Only Chiefs carcasses holding their Daly beer...

Super cold today in Kansas City
Freezing 
No ice
No snow
The air is brittle
Brutally cold

My feet reflect this
My toes are icy
I stare out the window
Knowing how cold the glass is
Staying inside

Warm but not toasty
Slightly chilled
Not tempted to run downtown
and park six miles away 
So the Super Bowl parade
Honoring the KC Chiefs
Marches on without me today...
