the first cup of milk
the two blue birds rub red necks
the monks and nuns walk

This side of our earth
Opens its doors to the sun
In the fields walk nuns

According to Chicago nuns
Covid-19 kills more than guns
Since you're not there
Why should you care?
Now you have time to watch re-runs!...

Jan's cucumber is on display
To many a mother's dismay
They all hope and pray
Their daughters won't say,
"The nuns never use it that way!"...

A Welshman with a little wick
Stood accused of hiding a stick
It caused Nuns to faint
They made him a Saint
And the faithful queued to pat Rick...

Boccacio loved to stage a game
Where nuns could find a priest to blame
But you know the Pope
Was kind of a dope
And blessed Decamerone with fame...

When the wife bent over downtown
It caused all of the nuns to frown
For - to their dismay -
Right there on display
Was alms for the poor upside-down!...

Once there were clowns in a circus, 
Whose clown's knew not of their purpose.
None, laughed at their tricks.
Nor their slaps and kicks; 
Because Nuns hate fracas,n ruckus....

Sparks leap tall buildings
and butterflies drool.
Nuns speak in cartwheels
Puritans jig like fools.

Heady verbosity
intoxicates
when hopeless romantic
meets existential basket-case....

Bill’s cucumbers grew long and hard
Nuns queued up for them in his yard
‘Twas their weekly treat…
They were not to eat
I’ll finish here… or I’ll get barred!

Covey of nuns
without benefit of wimple

graciously attired 
sport coat, turtleneck, skirt

scurry through the airport
iPads swinging

unaware the turtleneck 
is their Roman collar.

Uncle Didi stays in abbeys and churches.
Ministers, nuns, monks gather.
Group of seniors, veterans lurches.
He was never a minister -- a butcher.
Behind the church is a shop,
  where he used to work and chop....

A Stygian poem
can be  written in daylight
by the deadly lake.


In the lake of love
she was dead as an unsaid poem 
the sun too drowned.

Seven dead nuns in a boat
had succumbed by a sea of prayers
oars dripping tears....

If we knew in advance that all daughters and sons
keep us up every night: yours and mine — everyone’s
(teething, peeing and screaming,
yet so INNOCENT-seeming),
we’d be living in convents like well-rested nuns....

Who

We who know,
Of Love's dire tune,
Of ocean's calling forth,
From the depths of Darkness,
Can return to see the saved,
Can save the sea of suns,
Can see the sea of nuns,
Calling you forward,
Free,
Be free,
Forever
In Thee,
My Love...

Messenger of Missery

When we had looked into history
Trump caused so much misery
Cutting down people for their looks
And Is anther one of the crooks
Maybe he should join a sistery.

Female nuns there ought to
straighten him out.

Eight Nuns Running


Eight nuns running down a path far below
Ethel, Edith, Ellen, Barb each in deep snow
From the way they all look might be putting
up a gong show, till they all fall down
while they're all wearing frilly long gowns.

will to be diff’rent
fractals with cursive curlicues
cream-colored overalls

ostracized by nuns
and formal catechisms
with habitual fashion sense

now I’m in control
spinning like a pinwheel
with poetic enunciation

showed them, showed them all
i could take off my uniform
it’s monotone gray

                       Seduced in daylight.
                       The nuns were in a big fight.
                       Cat smiled with delight.

My mother has a gun,
She shoots bullet words,
Bang bang and you're gone,
My mother keeps a gun!

My mother got a gun,
She shrieks and having fun,
Coz she's got a mean tongue,
My mother is Sarah Conner 
clone!

My mother owns a gun,
She hunts aliens and demons,
Jesse got his from his mum,
Stop! Or my mama shoots the 
nuns!...

I believe
In dark matter
Nuns in robes
Making their habits
Deep with in the earth
Running rabbits
Singing of the end
Eat all you can
Matter it will not
Expansion till fully bloated
There will be a resurrection
We all shall become frogs
Making quantum leaps
Until nothing matters
The big bang
Warped inside my mind
I believe
In rabbits and frogs...

I wanted be the man for you but I blew 

can it be that you and me we were ment to be 
maybe do beleive that we could 
have just one more chance 
I would swim naked in tank full of sharks infront of a school of nuns for you 
Thats just how much I love you
If you would just me a chance I dance naked in church for you 
thats just how big a fool I am over you...

Religion, faith expression
Who says they're the truth?
Are they saved?

Priests, nuns lives in chastity
Drafted from teachings?
Are they holy?

Money collections on church
Upright or unfair?
Can you tell?

Kneeling praying fervently
Heart's honest and pure?
Try to gauge?

When flowers become like rain
I am on full alert
I like flowers
Draped around my neck
Wet from exhaustion
When flowers become like wood
Made into chopsticks
I am not surprised
When nuns
Eat with their hands
Remembering the flowers
Plucked from the fields
When they were young
When flowers become like salt
Rubbed into the wounds of soldiers
I am shaking
I am a flower child...

The Pope came to Eire
And found millions there
But they did not care
For priests anywhere

He dealt with the nuns
And all of the puns
Regarding bare buns
And Irish squirt guns

But what of "The Church"
And those who besmirch
The rap of a birch
For those in the lurch?

The Pope says, "We're fine
And now toe the line
To forgive is divine…"
God damn filthy swine!...
