Short Midge Poems

Play hearts?
  No smarts

Blackjack?
  Lack knack

Go fish?
  You wish

Try bridge?
  Ask Midge

Old Maid?
  Afraid

Cribbage?
  Priv'lege

Euchre?
  Nuke her

Hold 'em?
  Fold 'em

Psst:
 Poker?
  Mediocre...

For a millennium. 
we've sipped those same
poisons-potions-passions.
It's a wonder we're still breathing.
Why our souls are still beating.
We're born into a maelstrom of self-destruction.
but when the golden midge of life floats along. 
Only the river stones can explain their dreams.
We have yet to learn their language....

That shelter-less man under the bridge'
Irritates that lady who swears at him;
They together beg their anger abridge,
They come back; again sing the same love hymn,
Whose husband was he? Whose wife she, a midge?
Both have many issues all go well trim.

Barbie on her knees, over the toilet.
Ken pulls back her hair.
Skipper and Midge share love and support.

Barbie went on to wear wigs and bandanas,
her hair in the sink, sagging marshmallow breasts.
Big days were sitting in a cancer circle
waiting for coffee and cookies to pass.

Barbie hasn’t seen the light for days,
her pink cadillac out of gas.

Loving you is a boon
You came in as a bliss
I offer my sweet kiss
Oh! my honey dew toon
My dark night's hopeful moon
My dream's cute little Miss


You are growing like trees
Like the Pines on the ridge
Where wishes get abridge
Only God to appease
And none other to please
On His feet like a midge

I can see God in you
Oh! my sweet honey dew

When my well-fed cat dies will he go to heaven?
Will he make it in cat years to fifty-seven?
Or eighty-six or one hundred and five? 
Just what is keeping this fat sassy tom alive?
Shark has a kill room around the back.
Has killed varmints from here to Hackensack.
Will he ever reach the Rainbow Bridge?
He annihilated my mean Aunt Midge.
Sure some do not think it was Shark my cat.
But he’s wearing her rings, so what about that?...

I am shrinking,
I am shrinking,
I am dwindling away,
And i hardly need to tell you this is not a normal day.
Now i'm smaller than a pickle,
Than a pencil,
Than a prune,
And it's patently apparent i will vanish very soon.
I am shrinking,
I am shrinking,
I am smaller than a bean,
And unless there's a reversal,
I will exit from the scene.
I'm receding every second,
Now i'm smaller than a flea,
A midge,
A molecule,
And now i'm nothing to see........

Midge the Mouse could tell that her date was not into her
He was busy slurping down all the butter off their popcorn
She wondered why did he invite me, the sneaky little cur.
Because my Uncle Zeke is the owner of Movie Galaxy in Big Horn?

They got a discount on the popcorn, he only had to pay half.
Then he decided to go Dutch, which to Midge was a big surprise.
He stopped to get a famous movie mouse’s autograph.
Then asked for her phone number in front of Midge’s eyes....
