Smokes
of cigarettes
and mugs
full of coffee,
next
to the fictitious line
where the eddy
of words
leans against
and nods,
wounded,
to my silence....

For days I coughed hard and hurt my guts,
drank tea like Britons from china cups,
the virus never left,
this poor guy never slept...
did this bad cold come from unwashed mugs?...

Was once an addict, not talking about drugs
Was addicted to hobbies, like drawing people's mugs
It paid me well
Without parallel
My family thought I was totally bugalugs...

Razor blades
raise alligator babes
there's gotta be a better way
to get paid
and I'm definitely not going back
to juggling hand grenades
perhaps I'll open a stand
for mugs of lemonade...

stolen boots scratch mugs
mobile hinder beach lost pebbles
violin rehearsal picnic crew
colon usage witch fumble
joyous creature strikes
glasses open sores delve
blocks weave shuttle cock...

Was once an addict, not talking about drugs
Was addicted to hobbies, like drawing people's mugs
It paid me well
Without parallel
Most of my family thought I was totally bugs...

blank stares
       indifferent shrugs
     cruel features
       hostile mugs
 
     mumbled answers
       to detective's probes
     Soros funds their side
       no use booking these thugs...

There was a young girl named, Anheuser.

Wouldn't heed, when folks would advise her!

        Her and Pabst, took a chance,

         had a whirlwind romance,

and now they're both, sadder, Budweiser!...

~Hot Chocolate Snuggles~


                Chilly wintertime 
                Hot chocolate in plaid mugs
                Warm love, pine snuggles!

Surrounded by a white front porch
decorated with rocking chairs and empty mugs
a house becomes a home
   a wooden gate overlooks a long dusty lane
of falling leaves and golden oaks
sheltered from cold north winds
families make a house a home...

searching for feelings
  in tune with my soul
harmony is nice

  deafening
the music explodes
my body taut, chest
  heaving,
  spooked

sitting down to dinner
  we how-was-your-day it
not much
  yeah, same old

staring into our mugs
  brimming with
    pretend...

Curved and simple
as milkbone,
used as a hidden grail,

a pale listener.
When the morning rain calls
we carry buckets into the yard.

Warm lipped from mugs,
knights of clink and
clack, we triumph over

cobbles, flood past the latch.
We know grey and the
weight in one arm....

Christmas tablecloth
Red mugs, hot chocolate
Cinnamon candle

We, so lovingly 
Just like kids, dunk marshmallows
Sniffing the candle

Beneath the table,
Our feet do a romantic dance
Quite a sensual trance!

Attacked by pugs! What kind of pugs?
Puppy pugs, those horrid thugs!
They think our nose and lips are dugs! 
They want to eat our ugly mugs!  

Their poops like slugs upon the rugs 
They chase the bugs and bite the corks
Out of mugs with mighty tugs and drink the drugs
Then dance to fancy music by the Fuggs....

Holiday baking party;
Cookies of ginger,
Raisins in chocolate suite,
Colored crystals of
Sugar with a crunch;
Pumpkin bread
High!

Pies and sweet-spiced cakes galore,
Bourbon Bon-bon joy;
Popcorn balls, all colored bright,
Fruitcake to delight,
Spiced cider in mugs,
Jam cake too
Thrill!

Was talking about body parts out loud on a bus
The reaction of passengers was utter disgust
There was shock on their mugs
They thought I was on drugs
Giggled out loud as their ears they did clutch

Oktoberfest
Pretzel and beer
Wisconsin’s finest celebration
Bringing all Germans into town
To raise their frothy glasses to each other
The prettiest girls wear the sweet dresses
With suspenders and colors of their ancestors
Salt on the pretzels as large as dinner plates
Mugs large enough to sit in
Octoberfest in Wisconsin...
