Grandma's cowboy cup
Nitty gritty look and taste
Liquid boiled beans

Inspired by boyfriend's "cowboy coffee"...

Lewd Louie came from Windy City
he went straight for the nitty gritty
	got fresh with Margo
	who told her man Beau
who kicked his a** with rhythmicity...

There once was a young man from Kansas City
Who considered himself very witty.
For him others wrote a little ditty
"He jokes with bartenders,
snaps his suspenders,
jokester no less, that’s his nitty gritty.”...

Had I not in my idling
neglected you;
neglected morning carol;
neglected evening requiem;

neglected the unforeseen 
whimsy of words,
the nitty-gritty of my
most solemn soul,   

sooner could have been
release from bondage,
levee collapsing revelation,
my poems.

pruned passions bled
clutching callous crest
felon fills fetched
dark dances decked
hoity hankers squashed
taunted thrills trashed

wet wits wanky
sassy sips sugary
nauseating nocturnal nitty

spanked syllables wept
drenching drooling depth
ballsy hollow belched

lusty length lent
porous punctures spent.

Without end your memories 
I'll always remember
lots of fun you've shared with us
leaving marks
In our life can't be erased.
Allow me to say for the last time
my greatest gratitude.

Saying Thank You is all I can do 
all the nitty gritty we
laughed about and lessons learned
In our hearts will never perished.
Ride your wheels and peacefully
embrace God's love.

Being Forgiven
Miracle Man
7/23/2022

I refuse to linger my days in pity,
but am remorseful for things I’ve done.
But when it gets own to the nitty-gritty,
I have the power to change nary one.

For my past is like a read only file,
It can’t be changed, what others see.
So this morning, in thought, I reconcile,
while praising God for forgiving me.

He's an urban redneck
Likes his George and Madflex
He's country and what's next
Metropolis with crops

From barn to the city
Farming in the nitty-gritty
He's surrounded by concrete
Too many suburb plots

Sticking to dirt past
Agricultural for the future
He's certain who are unsure
Aware of hidden costs

Plowing his own stake
And modern, make no mistake
He's in tune to the horizon
Up until he drops off...

COPLA NUEVE: This Bad Guy World

Bad Guys multiply on their own
Faster even than the microbes:
They fascinate

Though they cannot thrive on their own
They need to feed on Good Guys’ lobes:
Just hibernate

Summer solstice up to Winter
Let them bask fry in howls and scowls:
Feel not pity

Left to themselves they’ll waste blunder
Watch that hip swing from bum to jowls:
Nitty-gritty.
