Cantankerous and
Ornery
Machines,
Preying on
Unsuspecting people;
They 
Eat data and
Ruin the 
Sight!...

Ornery
   Poetry
   Meter like
   A gnarled
   Oak Tree

   Eloquent
   Poesy
   Ethereal
   Far from me...

Ornery orange,
Range of shades,
Antagonistic character,
Naughty,
Greedy and garish,
Ever so bright, flashy and in some cases brassy....

He wore no underwear;
His stag night* was a gas -
We pulled his trousers down
And showed the world his ass.

He’s Irish not Scottish or British 
You forget, he’ll get ornery and skittish
He’ll point to his pelt 
Start swearing in Celt
With a splash of some Gaelic and Yiddish...

Chewy is my dog he's friendly, playful and likes to run. When I call him he comes. He is my shadow and never leaves my side. Can't imagine life without him even when he shows his ornery side....

Do you recall that ornery rascal
  Who played the role of one 'Eddie Haskell' -- 
    Good morning, Mrs. Cleaver
    And how's my friend, 'the Beaver?' --
  Like a laughing hyena ~ or jackal...

cranky and bearish
cantankerous attitude
she spends days alone

ornery and waspish
rantankerous daily
she has her own ways

prickly and grouchy
she yells sat tv people
her only friends...

My boys are the best of me
Youth at its finest all three

Bound to a broken family
Ornery yet full of God’s grace
You know they are mine looking at their face
So much pride and joy they bring to me....

Hubert awash was a Josh for his Bonn,

he was in a toss at the ton and never knew his cons,

say today that was interest and wand, that he could only shoot his lawn-

he never needed but had all his own knots for the fawns....

Condemnation, confrontation
  Nasty, no-compromise nation

Protestors plentiful, a passel irruptive
  Ornery out-of-towners, so disruptive

Downtowns deflowered in
  Portland Chicago, Seattle
Lawless looters ~
  Time to skedaddle...

There is yelling and crying
Good.
There is screaming. 
A loud wail. Great!

Uh-oh.
Dead quiet.
I creep up, quietly
To spy on them

Knowing something is
Up. They are four, six, 
And eight, 

Only quiet when they
Are up to their most
Dastardly deeds....

ominous skies of gloom
orbit through my head
obsessive while oblivious
ornery dragons and 
offspring hovering
o’er lofty castles 
obtusely perched in
opulent misty glens
of opportunistic prophecy

An orange and tan 
orangutan
with origins
that span
to Pakistan
orates flimflam
o'er an ornate
garbage can
ordained an oracle
by an ordered clan
to plant a plan
for their ordure
that ornaments
said garbage can
the ornery orangutan orotundly
upon does scan...

Simba's an ornery cat says the vet

  During visits both get greatly upset

      Simba grumbles and hisses

         Not at me or the missus

            But at the vet who ain't tamed him as yet

Outspoken mom to eight
Ornery little boys
Omelets for dinner
Only drank rye whiskey
Orchids, her private love~
Old letters in the hand
Of my great grandmother.

Owl With Crying Towel

You can always tell it was an ornery owl,
When you saw his face wearing a scowl;
We saw pivotal plot;
His claw got caught;
Trump appeared throwing in his crying towel.
(After having been relieving his fowl bowel.)

the suns bursting energy
sets off an illumination heat source
as trees slowly drop their leaves
becoming bare-boned
their slender branches
with chipped bark
from ornery squirrels
playfully collecting nuts
across Indian Lake
the water ripples 
from oncoming 
sailboats
catching the last of falls wind...

I walk amongst you
    feisty, ornery
  yet surprisingly disciplined too

  Despite my name, I have no wings
    but I sting with the best of them
  I know who I am, but do you?

Oh! my garden potatos...
and busted tomatoes..
The bull jumped over the fence...

And where did he go?
I really don't know!
I haven't seen him since!

But if I see one sign....
of his behind...
he'll get more than a  piece of my mind!

If I catch him snoozin'...
he'll get a bruisin'....
right on his ornery behind....

Good GOD you're a pain
You crazy old fool!
Stop bending my brain
Oh yeah? Hate you too!

Don't you SAY that!
Call me one of those
I'll make your lip fat
Bust your skinny nose!...

Hey man, what's shakin'?
In the neighborhood
What's that you makin'?
Smells pretty good

Nope not too hungry
Gonna' rain I hear
Nah, wasn't angry
Got any beer?...
