mules labor to win
ropes role like anacondas ---
dvida? advida?

Tanka 
Milk maids and romance 
In the hay of romp and love 
Mules ate the fodder 
Bare floorboards on the hayloft 
But fragrance of love remains....

The once was a boy named Brice
Who never took any advice

They said, “don’t rub heads,
With mules in the shed”

Now he’s being treated for lice!...

American Born Congressmen
Drive Enviable Farrari's-
German Hostesses Inherit Jeeps!
Kentuckians
Lease
Mules
Nightly,
Offending Police!
Quiet Republicans Seem Troubled;
Unless
Vacationing Women Xylophonists,
Yodel
Zippingly!...

trinkets
goblets
jewels
expensive fabric 
buggies and mules 

these things entreat the first queen's hear with fuel 

autumn leaves 
burgundy trees 
blue skies
stories of how others survived
the trials and tribs of life

I'll be the second queen tonight...

The Duke and the Dauphin 
    two snake-oil salesmen in 'Huck Finn'
  chased by folks brandishing paddles with nails
    ridden plum out of the county on a rail... 

  Joseph R. Biden and Donald J. Trump
    peddling their rancid cologne to the masses
  Such a pair of stubborn mules, those two
    Let's stick their dunderheads in fertilized mule-asses...

This a story of many horses 
viewed in the eyes of a child
as she stood there gasping 
at the death wagon, a while.

All were frozen from the cold
as the memory does unfold
in the dead of winter, no cover
ponies and mules tried to hover

Oh what she would have given 
to have owned one beauty there
And from this horror learned,
To forgive those who didn't care....

Rise my love and fight,
come back with spite,
avenge me as I avenged you,
I love you to,
but It's time to fight,
and do whats right,
and kill all these fools,
I'll kill these mules,
take there spirits and rip them out,
cut off there heads,
and chop off there arms,
come my love,
and help me kill them,
help them get what they deserve,
here is your destiny!...

Are Best Won


Found football for fools

With their ridiculous rules

Different thoughts of schools.


Mules sure are stubborn

Must hit again and again

In of course rear end.


Football have to boot

As I sit like an old coot

Loudly have to hoot.


Super Bowl just won

Whole team will sit in the sun

Now they are best one

An abacus arriving ate apples and so articulate were the sonnets delivered. So brave a bead. Pass pass passing. 5million mules delivering bread. Grabbing a gatepost. Steadily surfing a silvery wired wave. Whilst juggling 863 cows. Hahahaha mystified mood swings hahahaha and a peach coloured bucket carrying a ladle. Marketing strategy. 1 2 3 and a curried curriculum climbing. Xxxx evaporation z...

Your side provoked this
  No, your side did
If it weren't for your oppression..
  If the truth you weren't suppressin'

You guys rely on the Big Lie
  Your bombs kill; we die
This time you've gone too far
  No. Your reasoning is beyond bizarre

Your leaders are obstinate mules
  And yours are stubborn fools
Can you tell for sure which side is which
  They begin to blur ~ thank hatred's switch...

Within the Circle 
Around the burned down stable, near
the oak that was struck by lightning,
there is a silence within the stillness.
I can hear screams of stabled mules
running in circles trampling each other
into a bloody mass and falling beams.
Within the circle sheltered by whispering
leaves I can hear rattling of chains and
the forest afar sings of endless sorrow.

The dust blows of Pharaohs’ legend
which murmurs of tomb- rites unsaid;
and through  embers of a gas light 
my imaginings weave  in threads.
Giza’s desert  touched by midnight,
as pores recall ancient thoughts,
I memorize mules roaming by
while this grandeur leaves me distraught,
for time rushes to steal a glee
of  journey ‘s end  I can’t defy.

Ghost in number Ten was real, not fake,
He looked out of the window with heart ache,
Children dressed like ogres and ghouls,
Their parents followed like mules,
“Why is no one dressed like me! for God’s sake!”

A mule’s dream

A farmer was ploughing the field
his tractor was pink in the idyllic landscape
He ran out of diesel and went to get some more
at the nearest petrol station
A cloud descended, wrapped to the tractor in wool 
and took it up to heaven
When the farmer returned, the tractor was gone
The mule, unemployed, spending days under a carob tree
saw the farmer go to fetch the harness
Together, as before, they ploughed the field...

Vanity…Thy Name Is Woman!

My house is on fire
What shall I do
I’ve seconds to decide
My choices are few
Shall I grab my money
My precious jewels
Or my brand new furry
Bedside mules?

This smoke is deadly
I can hardly breathe
I make a mental list
Of what to bequeath
But live or die
I’ll wear my designer dress
I’ve got to look great
For all the press!

spicy you tell me
when A B C to be learned
French I was born in Africa
doing my best to please
a world with no understanding of empty bellies 
as we pelted stones on mules giving us their last ride to explode for the worms to come in
I learned spanish with the help of a bed shared at tender age of teenage
spicy spicy too easy on your soul 
mine to destroy your phantom dreams of flavor as you have to learn to read between the lines of suffering and your alms changing nothing....
