Never Mind
Was a young lad from Missouri
Rushing about in a flurry
- A bathroom to find
- His bowels were maligned
Oops! Never mind. End of story....

Missouri Weather
Maybe rain
Maybe not
Maybe it will snow a lot
Sun might shine
Burn your skin
Might have hurricane force wind
Seasons come
fade away
we’ll get it all in one day

A Missouri Spring
In the dark of night,
jolted from my bed,
with a thousand thoughts,
racing through my head.
What a dreadful sound,
those loud sirens bring,
welcome to one more,
warm Missouri spring....

My How Time Flies
Seconds slide into minutes
minutes into years
Only pausing to rejoice
birthdays and graduations
weddings and deaths
Marks on the calendar
to celebrate another creaking joint
and fading memories...

What Is She Doing Here
What’s she doing here

she was spread eagle
against the bark of a tree
I had to research...

Taking My Dogs On a Raft Trip
Taking my dogs on a raft trip to North Missouri,
Solomon, Jasper, Jetsam and baby Madame Curie,
None of us are swimmers, but there is no real worry.
We float along in peace, none of us in any kind of hurry....

Old Man From Missouri
There was an old man from Missouri.
Biting his nails, he tended to worry.
Taping his fingers to stop the bad habit,
he switched to candy wherever he could grab it,
and once he was full, he always got purry....

Map Tests In Missouri
The computerized MAP test
Who could take it seriously?
Not even norm-referenced
A state test, only in Missouri
I watch a fourth grader complete his
Answering forty-two questions in seven minutes
Hooray for him I think...

Light Verse
Baby, It’s Cold Outside
It takes ten minutes
to dawn coat and gloves
scarves and boots and woolen caps
earmuffs and face masks
Pry open the frozen door
and step outside
wait thirty seconds for the dog to pee
and run back into the house

Not a Snow Day
I
can see
the soft clouds
go drifting by
outside my window.
It’s a stay at home day,
not doing a damn thing day,
I’m calling it a no go day.
I don’t know when I last felt this way.
Wait a minute it was just yesterday.

Hummingbirds
bright ruby and green
flash dance across the garden.
humming and twirling
sipping from flowers
they zigzag helter-skelter
savoring each drop
chirping their pleasure
as they drink nature’s treasure
suddenly they’re gone

Summer
Heavy air on breezeless days
push me under shady trees
sweat stained ball caps
shade red leather faces
Adonis boys display their prowess
to bikini clad Aphrodite
Blood runs hotter than the sun
when darkness hides their passion

Show Us
The snippity snip-snap of her bluff,
frankly, should have been enough.
To turn us away from such evil stuff.
We are Missouri Billy Goats Gruff
So it takes a little bit more of a huff
a smack down, belt or more obvious rebuff.
To make us know it is more than enough....
