Who'd shave a Sheik,
Sheik shavers should surely
So Sheik shavers Sheiks seek.

My Pet Shark


I took my pet shark to the swimming pool

To help him learn to swim.

Now my swimming instructor’s missing,

No one has heard from him.

Rolling in
Meadows in her hair
A tango mass of
Butterflies
And what knots

Roped in

Tongue tied

With a pollen smeared smile
Smack smitten by every cinch

Glued to her smartphone
Gaping at it
Her mouth contoured in a WOW
She herself plugged in
A human transistor
Eyes glowing, ears antennae
Batteries fully charged

Nina sent me ten ideas when she was laying in her wines.
Parmenter gave me terrific starts, each of them so fine!
What can I do for you dear?
I asked her, with true warm cheer.
Just keep writing stuff, she said, and keep it on the lines....

 For an astronomer named Gus

When the possum met with our tire tread
He lay still and we thought he was dead
So we scooped him right up
In a pot for our sup
Let’s just say we were gravely misled

Giant teeth angrily ripping flesh
Maniacal laughter, internal screaming
Irregular heartbeats 
Insane night terrors 
Paralysis and yet…
Silent screams coming from somewhere
